It is not the destructive power of the torp that is the problem, it is the accuracy. At first it was too powerful as every shot pretty much guaranteed a hit if you were pointing in the right direction, so it was rightly nerfed so that this wasn't the case, only it has been taken too far to the other extreme and now you can off load your full load of torps at an Airspeeder without taking it down.

That said, the hitpoints of the Y-Wing are too high against the power of the torp as I seem to have registered multiple hits on a Y-Wing without much damage occurring, but this highlights another problem which is the fact that some shots visibly register as a hit but actually do no damage, so you may think you are getting more successful hits than you are.

Either way the torp accuracy needs to be improved and it's potency against the Y-Wing needs some balancing too.

With an attitude like that you're welcome to go putts around with two other people on the only populated server, SK.

The argument for "realism" (whatever the hell that means, considering this is a fantasy movie universe populated with small midget teddy bear characters) is great except for a couple key points:

* The Battlefield engine is a squeezey pooh FPS engine; it always has been, it always will be.  If you want a good engine to promote realism go mod something else yourself.

* The main and huge majority demographic who play BF are looking for fun, fast, not-frustrating pick up and play gameplay with a good mix of vehicles and infantry...THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR WEIRD, UNDOCUMENTED GAMEPLAY MECHANICS and VEHICLES THAT TAKE 8+ DIRECT ARTILLARY HITS TO TAKE DOWN FROM THE SAME CLASS VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSING TEAM

* This is a fantasy movie universe populated with small, furry teddy bears.

So let's review:

1) Take a game splintered off a successful franchise with a relatively small player base
2) Lose a large percentage of possible players due to EA's incompetence and uneven patching, which limits the possible new player pool to an even smaller number
3) Alienate the majority of new players due to several core gameplay quirks and balance issues
4) Have several prominent community members prance around the forums pining for the mod to embrace extreme, frustrating realism as "Project Reality X: Galactic Conquest"

There's one fricken' populated server with around 16 people on a BUSY night.  You CAN NOT justify that as being completely due to summer holidays, Euro 2008, global warming, the phase of the moon, and a small BF2142 player base.

Comments like yours are just ignorant and if you want to go play on that three player server with your head up you ash then be my guest.

I'm not asking for the starfighters to have a one-button special move that flips you around three times, I'm asking for the tanks not to be total crap, SK.  Give me a little more phucking credit that than, man.

Check out my blog about how wonderful the internet is, called The Wonderful Internet.

OK, I agree about tanks taking eight hits from another tank to kill. I concede that one.

As for my attitude, sorry, honestly, but it was a response to you barging in here using words like "phuking retarded" and "crap". I feel it gives the mod a bad image when devs, of all people, use such language on the mod content and suggestions from other devs in a public forum.
