Just out of curiosity:what will all of you do when Wolf man buffs tanks and nerfs Av?

Right now I only AV when its convenient. (Lai Dai AVs instead of infantry nades). LAVs trying to run me over or a tank pinning me down in a complex.

If tanks are buffed and AV is nerfed I'll have to go dedicated AV or maybe start dumping points into tanks for anti-tank combat. I really don't want to join the ranks of the tanker class, but without a corp with dedicated AV squads, like many have suggested should be necessary, I'll have to find some way to stop the tanks. Otherwise I feel I can't be effective at anti infantry since, ARs from one side and tank shells from another is a lose lose situation.

In the end, I'll do what I always do when something is kicking my ass. Adapt...or die trying.

which is what is meant to be, if you want to kill us, then you should dedicate a good amount of your SP to kill us, we dedicated ALL of our SP, if you only dedicated a portion of your SP, the we need a respect and SP for tanking needs to be dropped down to 1/8 of what it is now.

I wouldn't mind a tank buff or a price of module decrease if it would allow the AV to stay near the same level. Tankers seem to fear the Lai Dais but I can never kill anything with 3 nades or less other than a mlt fit tank or a basic LAV. I'm really suprised AV nades that need to be tossed in close proximity to a tank seem to be more of an issue than forge guns with ******** range and damage and swarms.

That was my thinking. I used to run the M1s, and plenty of times I wish I had them. For me, being able to defend myself against LAVs was more valuable though. I wouldn't even mind having to be soley and AV player, except that you're so handicapped against infantry then what's it matter if they kill you or a tank kills you. Much like dual tanking, i.e. shields and armor, you lose something when you try to do both. You are master of neither.

You are master of neither. vehicle players are forced to give up their fighting outside of vehicles in order to pilot them, why should you be an acception? Is that so? Granted, you'll dump a lot of SP into tanking but not having any skills in anything else is certainly not forced upon you.

Fix matchmaking. Buff tanks. Boom. problem solved. I'm with you on that one. Certainly hoping the system does what it should, but time shall tell.
