Javelin?

No other conventional force uses the javelin?

I take it there's a good reason why the NZDF will be?

Yea i meant to change that in the design plan. Not sure what will replace it. For now it stays, we will deal with balance issues at a later date

yeah, just leave the javelin to the devs, when they want it ingame, it will come but till now you shall find something different

For now it stays. Lets be under no illusions, NZDF isn't going to be done overnight. But by the time it comes around to testing we will have found a suitable replacement... OR the Dev's may have produced a balanced Javelin.

how to balance a javelin ?!?

taking out anytargets with a huge range
im not sure if there is a other similar weapon which can be given to the enemy team !

I want to steer away from having to use the carl gustav. The javelin is the most appealing alternative

Maybe we will have it so it can only be used on a mode that fires like the other HAT's...

What's wrong with an 84?

i have a vague memory, that the javelin has a direct fire mode, much like a tow or conventional Hat's.

Conventional forces within PR?

imo Javelin should be added with SRAW characteristics, or balance it with long 'lockon' time and option to aim only when in stationary pos.
