So, retrac2w, you're saying because there is a legitimate tactical use for bazookas, such as using them to counter defensive cover, they're bad weapons? Interesting.

(Note the difference between their, there and they're)

They have a use, and a place, in the game. Over use and abuse is a different matter, but that's clearly not what you're talking about.

The "realism" argument has been made many times before, and is no more valid now that you make compared to those who came before you. In the context of this game, it's not very valid.

The "it takes no skill" argument gets repeated often, too, and frankly that's not a line of thinking that is worth refuting.

Each of the game's weapons have inherent advantages and disadvantages, and each has a time and place when they are appropriate on the battlefield. A good player will recognize this, understand their flaws and stregths, and utilize them wisely for the benefit of their team. A good player will also know how to counter each of the game's weapons. Therein lies the challenge.

Of course, none of this speaks to inconsiderate players and those without half-a-brain. But no amount of tinkering with the game mechanics will stop people like that from ruining the game.
