give missiles a hitbox and be unarmored but have a high health while having a payload with a low health so that machine guns have a decent chance at taking them down

[urmamasllama]

i was really hoping more people would care

This was actually a semi-popular thread just a day or two ago. I imagine people might be annoyed to see it again so soon. Then again, I'm sure many people are just too busy workin' their way up in ranks for the tournament...thing that's goin' on.

AMS shoots down missles, adding the abillity to manually shoot them down is a waste of Development time : / (and being able to shoot missles with MGs would only work at about 90 meters which wouldn't work that well anyways.

[Eddrick]

It would compleatly defeate the purpose of AMS. Also, bare in mind Laser AMS will come later.

[Team Leader]

I also agree that machine guns should be able to shoot down missiles when dumb fired into a crowd

[Viper69]

Ah the ol "Let me shoot down the missiles with mah guns" thread. If missiles were easy to shoot down an automatic anti missile system would not be employed. Hell we wouldnt need the sea wizz AMS or patriot missiles if we could just run out and point an M16 skyward and knock them down.

I bet if you shot a minigun at a missile going 10 miles per hour you would be able to take it out

You have a minigun to test your hypothesis? If not then you cannot prove you can. You could probably hit a missile with a rock if it only flew 10mph BTW.

Wonders how many are picturing the way you can shoot down missiles in Armored Core 4? That game has AMS as well. But, it is less effective then ours. Because, it can only shot forward.

Do you have an m16 to test yours

yes, but I dont have any missiles. Besides I think we can look at all the current military tech and see even computer guided AMS are very inacurate and expend a lot of ammunition to kill one missile. Youtube Seawizz AMS.

This is what is sitting on our mech shoulder



If you think you should be able to aim and manually shoot down even a falling mortar shell everyone who thinks so is foolish.

But on the other hand, Viper, fuuuttuuurreeeee!!!

[Kassatsu]

Someone with more money than brain cells needs to set the OP up on a target range with an M60 and a bunch of rocket launchers. Have them fire from down range over his head while he fires his M60 at them to try to shoot them out of the air.

Something tells me he won't be very successful, though I'll admit the missiles in this game are extremely slow compared to actual missiles.

Yes but future doesnt cover pilot. It covers the tech of the AMS but your machine gun is still a machine gun. Sorry but nice try.

Yeah they are really neat.

As dumb as an idea this is, I voted yes for two reasons. It would make the MG worthwhile. It would make mouth breathers who use lrm's cry.

P.S. all you dolts trying to apply real world ******** to this argument are funny.

Yeah that makes even less sense than the idea.

[ArcherX]

The missiles in this game travel very slowly.
