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

I have created threads for all the current AV weapons of Dust to attempt constructive feedback and to create balance between vehicals and AV with the ideas of the entire Dust community. CCP Wolfman, i present to you all the tools you need here to form your AV changes in these threads:

*The Forgegun: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=103282
*The plasma Cannon: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1145262#post1145262

*The AV Grenades: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=99452

Perhaps this could be posted as a sticky in feedback/requests or even General discusion? We would always be able to give you our ideas here if we are able to keep track of this thread. I will be bumping this thread untill i get some sort of response, and will be starting the "what do we want" threads for the various aspects of vehicles as well

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

Oh poop, your right. Ive never used these, never thought much of them cuz they suck. Or at least, i think they do... really have no idea. Geuss thats not included :/ dunno what to say about them. If anyone has a review of the mines then feel free to throw it in :)

yeah. Funny how things work

rendering is the main cause of tank failure, all weapon stats (AV and otherwise) are irrelevent unless rendering is fixed tanks will always be underpowered

If they're unusably sucky, they probably need attention more than most. :/

Supposedly they put in a fix to deployment failures in 1.4 (you throw out a mine... it poofs instead of deploying). That's something, but the damage is too low for full sets to take out LLAV. You have to ask how many mines are you expected to successfully get a hit with to destroy X target.

There seem to be some hit-detection issues with faster vehicles, where LAVs don't always trip mines driving over them.

If you've taken STD mines, deployed three, then gone back to a supply depot, and deploy more.... that's required to hit the max deployment. Should you be able to kill a LLAV if you successfully hit them with not just every mine you can carry... but every one you can deploy?

STD/ADV/PRO do the same damage. It just changes how many you can deploy. They're more restrictive with respect to location that other AV, in that you have to get an enemy to pass over them.

Still requires 620k SP or whatever to get access to PRO (separate from the points in explosives of course).

How does rendering affect proximity mines? Isn't that an audio cue at very close range?

I drove my BPO lav over some and heard a beeping noise before they went off, but I was already clear of the blast radius by then

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.
