DUST Search - Slow, constant shield recharge and active armor reps

Just as a player, I have not been able to kill a single vehicle in the last few weeks. And I am dedicating myself, to really see how it is, by always spawning in as AV when I see any vehicle and going after it.

As an experiment I have had two to three proto AV fits, both a cloak scout plc and/or Minmando swarms, on my main. I am simply terrible with RE's so I don't even run them. I always fit Proto AV grenades, but they are not overly effective.

Against a semi-competent driver that doesn't panic and drive into a wall, there is no way to kill a HAV. They simply harden and rail or blast me, fairly easily.

2 AV scare most HAV's away. Thing is about PLC is that it is very difficult to hit a moving target, the first shot is a hit, 2nd maybe and then you are in dream territory.

Even fitted as I am, the last two week KDR against HAV's is approximately 0-20 on my side.

Against random guys that start shooting me when I am trying to AV, I am probably a 5/30 KDR with my measly scout HP, or screenfilling swarm launcher.

The situation is not even close to what you are describing, for me at least.

The head of development on our game is tired of hearing the sausage is tasty by a few loud people and is walking into line to try one like everyone else. Yes, AV against shields is weak currently. Sorry vehicle guys, it happens. My militia sica pushes around 2 proto swarmers and yes, I am a jerk by jumping out in my heavy and feeding them some hmg. I think the coolest thing I saw in your post is that you understand AV grenades are not worth it unless you are standing next to a supply depot. They need work - plain and simple. My last observation for everyone who is complaining he is doing it wrong: Think about this, he is a noobish player running proto AV against non-proto vehicles and losing. He probably is going to tune out all the talk of AV being OP going forward. Ratiti - +1 those vehicles weren't in a PC, it is worse there with people bringing their best. If you don't have a vehicle you will lose to a vehicle heavy team outright. I liked the post from the tanker about REs, that is so true. Heavy with a massive bullet hose called Lola (Burst HMG).
