Like I said before, it was a bug fix and not a buff. But according to some friends, vehicles got their PG back. Just need a pilot to confirm it.

wait we got our pg back. r u serious?

i can confirm pg is the same.

Circuitry and engineering skills are back. I'm looking at it now.

Rejoice tankers, dont need to flame this thread just troll in game, if you can actually get in a match.

Anyhoo I managed to fight a few HAV today and god damn am I pissed. The lockon speed seems hardly different, infact my game style with the SL has hardly changed at all. I am however missing the 5 round magazine.

What is the point of nerfing the magazine when the reload takes forever, I havent crunched the numbers because tbh it would be pointless. In game terms firing 5 missles > reload compared to firing 3 missles > reload > firing 2 missles the AV runner actually takes a kick to the chucks.

Basically, HAV currently stand a better chance of survival, when 1.5 hits and they get boosted activated mods I want a respec because am out of the AV game, i cba with FG and the SL is basically worst off now and after 1.5 they will be useless.

As I would like to give some positive to the change now, it is theoretically possible now to hit a DS with 2 volley instead of 1 before they fly away, but hey if your using SL against DS then your doing wrong anyway.

to me it seems lock on takes longer

the lock is longer unless u have max skills then it is shorter.

i have SLO lvl 5 , thats why im asking myself , instead of a faster lock on it seems longer than before patch

they have always been there the skill skill reduces CPU cunsmption on powergrid upgrades and not a pg increase to base hull like before. they are the same and unchanged.

Here are the numbers at all lvl 5 skills: http://i.imgur.com/eHU0DKW.png?1

+122% (2.22x) faster for burst ROF
+52% (1.5x) faster for emptying your entire clip

This is why in the OP i stated in game terms, these numbers are saying I can empty a clip in under 4 seconds and thats just bs.

Kinda off topic but factor in evading fire and realigning shots, that interval time can suck a ****. AV runners have been had.

I have more PG now? Even on my ****** Militia Tank? I can use Armour Plating now? Am I a god?

I would like to know that also because armor HAV taking 3 proto SL shots then casually going to the red line to rep up has got to be the BEST ive seen in game in ages

Well factor in some fudge factor for having to aim to relock, not firing the immediate nanosecond that you have a lock, and not having perfect skills I'd say you'd be looking at 4-5 seconds to fire 3 shots. Against an ideal target (like a blaster cannon).

lurch i realize tht but i'm talking about 1.3 to 1.4. not the entire history of tanking, :)

Well thats what am trying to get across with the thread, taking down Installations is as close to ideal SL use you can get, fighting HAV you dont have that luxury as these seconds on ROF take a hit on reload, even with skills in that department. The larger magazine is definately more useful and this is something I have previously said in other threads in regards to the 1.5 vehicle change.

Spkr4troll has invaded the thread so am going to leave it there. Arguing his brick wall of stupidity will just be counter productive. However I will max out the reload skill now and see if that makes much of a difference (theorically should) but even the lock on is glitchy and am at the point of just wanting to leave the weapon behind.

minority thinks he's the majority?

small dogs bark the loudest.

which numbers would you like to see so we can disprove your post?

FTFY.

It should really take at least 2 high level AV guys to take out 1 tank.

Because tankers act like we are hunting them down, following them to their homes and murdering their children while they sleep.

They complained the most about the swarm "buff" to make sure CCP didn't think they were happy so they can get swarms needed further.

Swarms barely bother my Incubus, so far I've yet to lose one to Swarms today(that will change tonight when I get liquord up and just start flying for funzys)
