This is a difficult question, with problems on both sides that need to be addressed. the vehicle using players hate the fact that they can lose their expensive vehicles to a single proto av geared up dropsuit. And ground troops are tired of being mowed down by near invincible logi lavs, or getting blasted by tanks on ambush. In all honesty everyone wants to kill more and die less, so its hard to find a middle ground thats fair for all players.
If i was a tanker, i could understand the frustration of losing millions of isk to proto swarms or forge gunners, so i agree with an base hp buff , as long as av weaponry doesn't get nerfed. i find the damage that av weaponry does to be more than fair, since it leaves you vulnerable to enemy infantry. This game relies on good teamwork, a tank shouldnt be able to just walk into the middle of a map unopposed. play it smart , stop deploying tanks into a squad of swarm launchers. DOES your tank feel weak? try being on the other side of the field when the enemy deploys 3+ tanks on ambush.
Dropships need alot more hp , except for the assault , many of the dropships seem to be defenseless in low altitudes especially against forge guns. As a ground troop, i love shooting me some dropships, but i do agree that its unfair. especially when the purpose of dropships in the first place was to provide a quick way to transport a squad into the battlefield. I rarely see this happen, its too risky, a squad can be shot down in a matter of seconds. The only use i now see for dropships, is to transport snipers on top of really high towers or buildings -_-
Last but not least LAVS you either love them or hate them. in my case, i love hate then. i hate getting blindsided by a lav out of nowhere( now i simply avoid any roads or look both ways before crossing). and i love jumping into one and mowing down infantry ( revenge is so sweet) while i do find " murder taxing to be shameful, and unskillful, and deserving of no respect, i too am guilty of doing it every once in a while when im bored or getting revenge on someone who ran me over. my solution to this is simple, 1.) fix the logilav . With enough sp invested on it , its near invincible. it makes all other lavs look like meals on wheels. 2 to 3 well placed av grenades should be able to take out lavs, its fair , that is what they are designed for.
2.) in order to stop murder taxing, make it harder to murder taxi or less beneficial. you could increase the power and accuracy of its turrets making its usage more desirable over running people over. Also buff av explosives to detonate on contact, in order to discourage murder taxing. 3) give the troops a fighting chance. this may sound a little extreme but what if infantry had some sort of impact dampener thingie that could help them survive high altitude drops or lav hits??? you should be able to activate it once a every half minute while facing an lav directly, it nullifies any other movement, and must be timed within a 3 second window. it sends you flying back, no damage done to either party. it just decreases the killing power of the murder taxis
if you took the time read my little rant i appreciate it, i just typed in my ideas off the top of my head so pardon me for my bad grammar and spelling. please leave a comment if you have other ideas or if you disagree or agree. please be constructive with your feedback, dont just tell me to eat a bowl of nails cuz i may see you out on the field and there is a 90% that im better than you :) |
