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

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.

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?

I think its okay for one person with proto AV to solo the standard tanks. Of course, not as quickly as they do now. For Exmaple soloing a tank with one clip is unacceptable, happens to my shield tank if im caught

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...

are... you serious? this is the most BS statement ive read to date, this community is getting dumber as time gos on, im developing autism in my ass. Its not enough for a single AV man to solo a tank, but you need to do it in one clip? Come on, thats rediculas one clip of a forge can be 6 seconds, thats how long it takes a tank to reach top speed from standing still. Yes, you need to work to get a kill, we hide behind things because we have no choice, you are PROTO AV and we are a STANDARD TANK. we have to run away and i, a tanker, just agreed you should be soloing us!! at least come to your sences and agree you can solo us, but give us an additional couple seconds to get away?? You AV players are so greedy, i cant belive you just said that

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

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.

At first i said the same thing about reading/listening



Seems they proved us wrong in a good way :) ill give it one more shot, this is my attempt

IMO proxy mines do need a buff, they are too weak and minor do to any damage to vehicular targets, the only target they can trip on. They need a buff in damage, not the amount you can deploy to avoid mine spam.

Sweet! i thought the same Logibro but i dident wanna be the boy who cried wolf ;D

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

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 does 1200 direct damage and has a clip of one, its an AV weapon. The description of the weapon means literally nothing, thats just lore and is only slightnly more valuable to dust than the in game effects of real life mechanics

Get out.

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.

again i disagree. Its not a very good AV weapon but it does retain its 100% efficentcy ratting vs vehicals and other high damage weapons like charge sniper rifles and shotguns do not, they cant do AV because their not meant to be AV but a plasma cannon has all the features that an AV weapon describes and none of that of anti infantry weapons have. Anti infantry weapons have large clips, zero bullet time (rounds hit instantly), and do not have splash. They also do not do 1200 damage per shot, its clearly meant for AV, dispite the description of the weapon

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.

Get out.

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