Hi Peeps!

As you all have probably noticed that rocket gun is my favourite weapon, but with only 2 clips of ammo I run out very fast lol, any chance of upping the amount of ammo given on that weapon? I know its a long shot but heh worth a try :p lol

Cheers

It is actually enough ammo if you play with other weapons. If you play rocket you need to use the rocket and the secondary weapon. When you run out of rocket ammo or when you find a scavenged weapon, pick it up and use it together with your rocket. For example, see an mg42 lyring around? Pick it up. Now you have an mg and a good sidearm to defend yourself with. If you play like that you will find that the rocket class ends up having enough ammo.
 
C96 or the carbine combined with the rocket can get you 8-10 kills easy if you play yo' cards right young grass hopper.
 
This topic (albeit from a different angle of limiting ammo), was last brought up just a couple of months ago.

And here was Council's response at the time --

4) Limited Ammo - I'll start off being completely honest with this one. No change will be made to the ammo counts. We change it for events on our private events server at certain times, but that's it. In regards to your comment about "noone ever needing that much ammo", I have been in the server before when players such as RonPaul, Blue Stealth, and Duality have all used their entire ammo cache without dying. Its not unheard of and it does happen.

Our servers are doing well with the current class/ammo set ups (including medic and pistol mods), so basically if it ain't broke, don't change it.

It's of course dependent on individual play styles, but personally I rarely live long enough as rocket class to need any ammo resupplying. And if I do run out of rockets, heck, it's always fun to run around looking for another primary gun lying on the ground next to a dead body to use.

Also, don't forget that you can use the dropbox for future suggestions to leadership, too.
 
Just get people to give you ammo like we do on strand every round, by having drop areas

huh? He is talking about secondary ammo. We can give him more rocket ammo:) I pick up an enemy weapon (or even a team one) when I run out of secondary ammo. It is too difficult to rocket without the secondary. If you use it wisely though you will not run out too often.

I blame TG overeating for misreading your original post, but the same message in my original reply still applies to the carbine/broomhandler.
 
Ah well, fair do's was worth a try anyway :) I guess I'll have to come up with some more creative ways to kill you all before you kill me lol

I played on Donner last night as rocket. Hardly used the C96 and mostly just used my primary. If you're Careful and precise with your shots, you can be effective with it. Think of it as an explosive sniper rifle with very limited ammo; When you shoot, you want a specific point that you aim for. Instead of the chest like a sniper, you'd aim for the wall behind them or their feet. After you get rid of all your ammo and if no one has given you more, drop your rocket and pick up an auto or rifle. Now you're just like everyone else with an amazing secondary. I used this tactic and had 100 kills with ease.

Practice? Thompson? HAHAHA no. One does not practice with the Thompson. One holds this key combo: W+Left Mouse Button. That's all your training right there
