They don't refuel for fuck's sake, they just rearm them. Refueling is incredibly lame in any game unless it's something like Novalogic's Comanche series.

This may've already been covered, but how much ammo do you propose the respective orca and apache will have? Enough to kill how many enemy vehicles?

C&C based. Five Orca TOW-2B missiles, something like 100-150 rounds for the Apache's 30mm chain gun.

Not enough to destroy any tank, but enough to damage buildings.

Yeah, but doesn't Orca actually have 18 Hydra-70s?

How much damage would that do to, say, a Stealth Tank? assuming you hit all your rockets.

First off, i aint a dumbass. Second off the entire reason u made renalert was out of noobishness, because u wanted to get away from the skillfull snipers who shot u down in the first place. I bet i could own u any day any time even without a sniper. Oh but wait a minute.... U dont even play renegade anymore becasse u are too absorbed in ur non sniping creation THAT NO ONE PLAYS.

I shoot the helicopters and the people that walk by... I hate noobs... I love my sniper rifle

This is how idiots who play Counter-Strike think. "OMFG USUX BECUZ U WANT TO TAKE AWAY MAH NOOB GUN THT KILS IN WONE HIT!!!!!!1"

I think this applies to the Ramjet as much as it does to the AWP:

www.somethingawful.com

It [AWP in Counter-Strike] has been toned down in recent versions, meaning to kill someone you need to actually point it in their general direction, rather than the general direction of the continent they're standing on. On the off-chance the target doesn't die of sheer terror, you might have to go through the time-consuming process of pulling the trigger, which will inflict about the same level of damage as getting hit in the eye with an anti-tank missile covered with anthrax and gasoline.


And regarding your little "NO ONE PALYS RENALRT OMGO OFSTUF MNOOB!!?!": If no one plays, why have the servers been populated EVERY DAY since it came out? There's never been a day where there isn't a game going on.

Oh, of COURSE you have! Your childish, immature attitude couldn't possibly leave the suspicion that you're lying to make yourself sound bigger than you'll ever be!

vehicles for the most part are utterly useless against copters pretty much the only counter IS snipers.. taking away snipers ability to kill copters would make a copter almost impossible to kill if the pilot knew what he was doing.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

But you forget, choppers would be modified also with limited ammunition, to avoid them hovering over the field and killing everything with relative ease.

OK, firstly the Renalert is probably the most populated of the n00bstories servers. I am also working to purchase a renalert server (probably this week or next)
Secondly, sniping in renalert > sniping in renegade, by a long, long way...

In renalert, if you can't get headshots regularly, you're wasting your time getting a sniper
In renegade, it's a common sight in, say, fastc0nn for people to buy a ramjet and shoot tanks the whole fucking game. Failing that, people thinking they're elite because they can bodyshoot basic infantry.

That's why I made RA have Sniper units with single-shot rifles that only kill with a head shot or two or three body shots.
