All of this could have been avoided of they simply buffed the vehicle engineering skill back up.

Maybe you should ask CCP to buff vehicles back to chromosome stats instead of making threads about how OP AV is.

AV is there to blow your toys up. Quit campaigning to make them impotent.

mad tanker is mad. im gonna keep spamming my massdriver, forgegun and soon swarms at people. Next up in 1.5:

CCP announces 1.5 AV changes:

weapons:
-forgegun blast radius is beeing increased from 3.0 meters to 5.0 meters
-massdriver reload time is beeing lowered by 50%
-plasma canon direct impact damage increased to 2500HP
-proximity mines damage increased to 6000HP omni damage

You don't mention Proximity Mines, which are a vehicle-specific weapon.

I think it's more ironic. The whole reason they nerfed the PG was to give new players a chance to compete. If that were the case, why didn't they just work on matchmaking instead of saying it wasn't a top priority instead of widening the gap between newbie and veteran pilots? Who's going to want to try piloting anything when it's nearly impossible to fit anything at max skill?

Thanks for the threads, I'll go through them and pass them on. If you're looking to attract CCP Wolfman's attention in the future, I suggest laying out honeyed lamb as a suitable bait.

dude when 1 one guy with AV can kill a tank solo. its a problem.

i called out a tank with 5000+ ehp.

one guy with swarms fired 1 vooley, and throw 1 AV grenade. my tank explodes. WTF. kinda beats the point to having a tank, or even team work.

i mean 15 players on your team can run caldar assaults with duvolles, and then 1 guy uses swarms and Av nades and kills all enemy vehicles? WTF?

most tankers as soon as they hit , even if they lose little shield try to run away or hide behind hill

they dont care from where and how , they just hide

rinse and repeat

i dont condemn them for that ,its normal , thats why tanks need to die from 1 clip , if not they just run and hide

and its a game of cat and mouse with a tank...

You really think they will listen? or read?

I did my own vehicle threadnaught, many ppl have made threads and what does CCP do?

They buff the easiest AV weapon beyond OP limits

Your personal viewpoints on AV weaponry do not constitute a community viewpoint, and I'm very discouraged and disappointed that a Dev actually bothered to post in this thread.

Wait, the Plasma Cannon isn't an AV weapon, the weapons description states it's meant for "confined space combat", unless well be fighting tanks in hallways, I don't think cannons should be in this thread.

It has very little AV abilities for a reason, the lore supports the role it excels at, if it were meant to kill tanks/LAVs/DS it would have features to support that kind of play.

We have Assault Forge Guns, which work far better at doing AV, PC is meant for infantry, if all a weapon needs is damage to be AV, we might as well call a Charge Sniper Rifle AV.

AV weapons have certain traits that make them AV other than damage, FGs do huge damage over a long distance, but require a charge time and have little splash, limiting it's anti-infantry abilities, Swarms can't dumb fire anymore, so they can only do AV, AV nades track vehicles within range, and do nothing if there isn't a vehicle, Proxies need some work, PCs have about a 4 meters splash radius and a huge amount of splash damage, the reason it has a low clip and slow projectile speed is cause if it didn't the AR would have been replaced.

I'm not saying it doesn't have AV capabilities, I'm just saying it isn't an AV weapon for the reasons you purpose.

From what I've gathered, you see it as an AV weapon that needs some work, while I see it as an infantry weapon that needs some work, for the good of the discussion, I will drop the subject and stay on topic.

As an AV weapon, I would say the PC could use a projectile speed buff and maybe 400 extra damage to the STD, with some better scaling across the tiers, I would also propose to have the Assault FG removed, as we can't have two guns performing the exact same job.

This is almost as sad as the end of M.A.S.H around here.

First off, Ex is a bit off, he is too busy driving around in a LLAV that took 9 Lai Dai's to blow up while I was not the only one throwing heat that way. So whatever he says is so trollish that I'm sure CCP took note, and will make the changes to cater to his style of play exclusively and I can only assume that ccp's lack of understanding of english and the OP's dyslexia is going to make these thoughts seem relevant when a vast majority of the things they (vehicle users) are saying is untrue.

Yes Grenades should be made stronger, it should only take 3 Lai Dai to blow up any vehicle.

Yes Grenades should not just disappear the basic should last 1 minute on the ground, the advanced 1.5 and the proto 2 min. Their homing range needs to be made bigger and more effective as I have thrown AV grenades over a dropship that tried to crush someone.

Yes Swarm launchers should be able to hit a dropship trying to go all the way to the top of the map, and also assault 2 target possibles should be able to lock on to the same vehicle twice in order to blow them up.

Yes Just like the Swarm Launcher the forge gun should only work against the vehicles.

Yes the Number of Grenades one can carry for AV should be increased to 6 since the first 2 like to bounce off the vehicle.

Nano-hives need to give grenades faster I am tired of throwing down 3 of them just to maybe get a chance to blow them up.

I can spout off nonsense but I know for a fact only the weakest tanks die to my grenades along with the dumbest drivers, you let me throw out 6 right in front of you and enticed you to try to engage me, thus rolling over 6 and then getting hit by 2-3 more.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

LOL!
