Unlock able Weapons

[Panzer-War]

At what rank do I get to unlock one and are they any good, worth bothering over? Any suggestions on witch one I should go for. I was thinking of going for the SA-80 since I have been playing the medic a lot.

Well, you have to make the rank of Lance Corporal, which is around 1000 points.

I believe the medic unlock is the L85A or something.

I chose the DAO-12 Automatic Shotgun for my Anti-Tank character, and I can't tell you how many times I was glad that I did when some unsuspecting nimrod tried to sneak on me (thinking I had the wimpy MP-5 thingy) and stab me and I turn around and unload 4-5 rounds of high-velocity buckshot into his face!

AWESOME

I see the medic upgrade as only really an upgrade from the AK-47. I like the AK-101 and M16A2 better.

It seems that the anti-tank upgrade seems to be the best one, because the anti-tank weapon is bad to begin with...so it really is an upgrade, not just a personal preference like it is with most of the others.

I don't know, now that I've learned to shoot down helicopters with the .50 sniper rifle, I'm really enjoying having unlocked that.

The choice is really pretty simple, since you want to unlock the weapon that corresponds to the class you want to specialize in anyway. As such, I usually play the Assault class - so I took the G3 unlock. This is actually one of the worst choices however, since the G3 lacks the attached grenade launcher which is a REQUIREMENT for the assault class. Sooo, long story short, my unlock was a complete waste. :mad:

Well at least I am over half way there.

That’s what I was thinking for me ill probly go for the medic, sniper, engineer, and maybe the support.

Hmm I'd like to know how you are doing that are you aiming for a particular area. I can't seem to bring them down when I sit there and pound away with an M2 Browning.

Ya I like the M16A2 but was hopeing I would get more punch for the medic unlock able.

I'm not 100% certain how I did it. At one point I was trying to snipe at the pilot/gunners on a blackhawk, I had fired maybe two shots, one at the pilot's area and one at the gunner's area (and apparently missed the specific people - this was at about max visual range) and the blackhawk landed. So I fired one more shot at the blackhawk (which wasn't showing significant damage before I started shooting at it) and the blackhawk blew up on the ground killing the pilot who was outside of the blackhawk and next to it.

The second time, Mr. Gobeavs was flying a cobra next to a building I was on top of. I shot twice at his cockpit, although only he could say whether any shot actually registered damage on him rather than the helicopter. The third shot was also when he had landed and stepped out, and the explosion of the helicopter killed him.

The L85A1 for the medic class is terrible - very low damage, it has a scope, but it's wildly inaccurate (I was shooting center mass on a standing target 50m away - yes, fifty meters - and I'd see my rounds impacting on the ground). I much prefer the default medic weapons. They're actually quite accurate on single shot and do decent damage.

I pick up the G3 when I can, though, cos it's a very accurate weapon with good damage infliction capabilities.
