Hey Jimmy, cheers for doing this AMA.
Really glad SOE are paying this much attention to gun mechanics by appointing you.

More than any other weapon types, I love using anti-vehicular weaponry, and in particular those that require skill to use effectively.
Over the years I've noticed a trend in gaming towards implementing lock-on mechanics for these kinds of weapons, which I feel make it too easy to get kills as well as ultimately make them less fun.

The Lancer from PlanetSide and the SRAW from BF2 and BC2 (wire guided) are two of my favourite ever weapons because they are difficult to use, but very satisfying to get kills with.
You have to lead the target effectively with the Lancer.
And the wire guided mechanic from earlier BF games makes getting a kill from the top of a hill on a fast moving target the most amazing feeling.

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on this, and what you feel you could help with on PS2 to realise weapons that require these levels of skill?

Cheers.
