Is HAT nerfed to oblivion?

How are we supposed to utilize the Heavy Anti Tank kit?
The example below is not the first case I wasted my efforts in attempting to hit a tank. It's the first case I recorded.

It spirals in the air, aim up a bit and then back down onto your target and it should work fine, just takes a bit of practice.

Well, I wish I had that many HATs and opportunities to practice it.

I'm not sure why the HATs in PR have recoil, since most of them are, in fact, recoilless. I know that some of the guided HATs have a downwards recoil so I always aim a bit above the target(which also prevents the missile from spiraling into the ground). Practice makes perfect.

Edit: One problem that does exist however is rear armour hits not damaging the tank to the point of destruction, I mean like what the hell? If that's intended then please give us the 2nd kit back.

Start local game with RCON enabled.

F.ex. as MEC, type in "rcon spawner mec_at" and you'll get a HAT kit at your feet.

rcon spawner ger_at
rcon spawner us_at
rcon spawner usa_at
rcon spawner us_at_alt
rcon spawner ru_at
rcon spawner fr_at
etc etc

Pretty sure the Chinese HAT always kills the Challenger 2 when it hits it in the back.

Another reason to aim up is you dont get blind by the smoke trail.

Third reason to aim up is that you can fire instantly without waiting for deviation, after being fired missile will guide to target anyway.

	VTRaptor: but i only stopped for less than 10 secs and that fucking awesome dude put 2 of them ]CIA[ SwampFox: well my definition of glitching is using an enemy kit to kill the enemy Just_Dave: i have a list about PR players, and they r categorized by their skill Para: You sir are an arse and not what the game or our community needs. AlonTavor: Is that a German trying to make me concentrate? Heavy Death: join PRTA instead - Teamwork is a must there.

	assetruler69: I've seen things you smurfs wouldn't believe. Apaches on the Kashan. I watched burned down tank hulls after the launch of the single TOW. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to give up and respawn.
