For rocket launchers, some one is pretty much going to have to take one for the team... once that happens, hit them with a rocket or three, than burst with an LSW as before, or spawn in a cheap slave squad behind, than step out while the snipers cover you.
This has been explained a number of times, FOnline currently is like rock/paper/scissors. Mercs beat snipers, snipers beat big gunners, and big gunners beat mercs.
As for people using mercs in TC, the way people use mercs, are for ambushs, i blew the crap out of a little level 7 merc leader with a rocket the last time i got ambushed by mercs in a TC fight, he was a alt, and probably a proxy, if you allow people to have 6-8 mercs with 300 speech, guess what, people will make those ambush alts and give them even more mercs, and they'll still show up with surprise butt sex just for you, but this time with more rocket mercs or plasma mercs.
As for using a group of people with rockets and sniper rifles to use mercs fully, that's not the best idea, those snipers won't last if they have to close in, sooner or later someone camps, and a sniper cant rush a building and hope to survive for as long as a BGer could, which is why you have the bursters up front, to handle mercs and militia, and rush with, for when you're pushing for ground.
Oh, and i've created a build to show you, that it'll just delay the merc leaders, you can still make a useless character for merc handling, it'll just take alot longer, but still do able, if you level off ODM.

You see to kill one merc leader you need more than 3 people and very coordinated tactics that are good only on paper.

You talk like you always have a chance to avoid their range and always know where they are and like you always would hit them first.
How do you don't get it ? It does not work that way ingame , your making tactics that lack alot of variables.
Goddammit people when you gonna admit leaders are OP ?

It's pretty futile to not tell when the wipe will be.

Solar:
When we know you'll be the first to know, do you have a home number I could contact you on? I'm certain we could phone you the moment we decide to set a date ... maybe we could give you hourly calls to inform you of how long there is to go after that too?
I don't think I will be able to sleep until this is sorted out!
