I feel like a lot of the QQ from AV is from NEEDING to be able to solo a tank to get WP. Perhaps, if for every 1000pts of damage, 40 wp were awarded, then it would be beneficial to the AV if tanks were stronger BC then they have a constant source of WP.

Now tanks get a buff AND it gives AV more points than a tiny 150 for a single kill.

For instance, there are battles that I'll take well over 100,000 damage; that is (4000 possible war points. That is two orbitals. That is a 400k risk payout to multiple nerfs for NOT killing a tank.

Brilliant. Now tanks are not a nuisance but a isk fountain. It's like laying down nanohives as a logi Nd having a mass driver use it.

If you like it, please bump, BC CCP needs to see this.

...
1000?
So 80 points every volley of swarms?

A tank kill with 3 people inside is 300 WP rewarded. It's like 6 kills. If the tank is 250k isk and each player is wearing 15k isk in suits that's 295k isk you destroyed or about the equivalent of killing 6 ADV+ suits. Typically HAVs are worth a little more isk than that though.

I like it, the reason being that I am tired of people stilling your kill with a fracking AR in that short frame window vehicles often have after being hit with an AV weapon... to give an exemple (beacause it is something that non AVers don't seem to realize) I shoot swarms at a dropship, drophips catch on fire and has a few seconds before crashing (gives a chance for crew to escape), here come mister AR, shooting a few bullets into it, effectively being the last person hitting it, dropships crash, and I get the f*kitten* assist and they get the kill... this is an issue I rarely see address, but is truely an annoyance for me when I try to play AV... and it's definitely not fair that after chasing and HAV all over the map that the kill is awarded to someone with a fracking AR.

AR users are not always to blame. Most Dropships die from impact damage, which is why AVers usually only get Assists. I try to send an extra valley after a dropship when it is falling in flames in hopes of getting the kill before it crashes.

I think HAVGÇÖs and LAVGÇÖs are different, as I usually get the kill on them.

Of course there are times when people are lucky and get a shot on a mostly dead tank. I have heard of a Sniper getting a HAV kill.

It actually used to work like that a while ago. Not sure why it was changed.

If there isn't cap implemented in this thing, it will be abused to farm WP's. Just arrnage a tanker to sit and repp it self and have few folks damage it and you have a easy WP machine to farm.

Or even better yet, put infantry logis repping it with BRD-5's and you have almost as much repp landing per logi as a one heavy IG-L repper. This way logi gets his trige bonus and swarmers get their bonus. Or tanker can fit max HP tank on it to accomodate more swarmers.

Nice idea, but flawed.

If AV's are gonna get WPs for damaging my vehicle, then I want WPs for damaging their dropsuit.

heh... tempting.

It all depends about how much tanks get buffed... they will become even tastier... even tastier than bacon...

It might work, I guess we could give this a try and of course it will be necessary to follow the progresses and the changes carefully and adjust the values eventually.

EDIT: 40 WP for 1000 damage seems way too much, though.

If AV's are gonna get WPs for damaging my vehicle, then I want WPs for damaging their dropsuit.

Not really a solution on its own.

May I make a suggestion of my own?
