Shoot LAW while flying.

Would be cool if you could shoot your LAW while you're in the air, but only when you're not using jets so that it wouldn't become too bithsy!

In fact, it was made before.

Quote from: Soldat wiki
The LAW was added on 13-6-2003 in version 1.1.4 together with the Combat Knife and Chainsaw. (Before 1.1.4, the USSOCOM was the only secondary.) Upon conception, the LAW could be fired in mid-air while proning or crouching. This allowed much greater versatility when used, thus causing it to be considered overpowered, leading to subsequent nerfings.

f11, it would unbalance normal gameplay, saw&law wouldn´t be playable with chainsaw then, you would be killed everywhere!

I think the law is great how it is, so no.

I know Soldat isn't about being really realistic, but firing laws in midair... that's a bit over the limit...

What about using .50 caliber shots to pierce enemy soldier's body? (Barrett)

Hell no. The fact that you need to be crouching to use the LAW balances it perfectly. No need to make it extremely nerfed to use it in the air.

lol i think it'd be cool, could be balanced if the startup time was doubled when your trying to fire it in midair while proned, and is returned to normal startup time while on the ground

so, whilst moving (falling or moving while crouched) the startup time is doubled

whilst not moving, Law is normal


anyone have any improvements to or like my idea?

nah, Probably too un balanced.  law used by some law-pros as it is, it would be bad to ruin it for them.

 it would be very cool if we could edit these kinds of things in weapons.ini though

I, uhh, kind of like this because quite frankly knife is better than law. I don't know if this is the solution, however.

Oops I think I forgot to mention that of course it would be possible only if you're proning/crouching, if it matters. I believe it wouldn't change the way LAW is used very much because the shooting would be so limited.

It would be nice as an option in weapons.ini, but not in the default settings (I voted yes).

One word. No. - How can you shoot such a heavy weapon in mid-air whilst at the same time trying to actually hold it.
