Introducing a damage falloff mechanic for long distances would prevent people from overkilling vehicles across the whole map without penealizing too much those who actually move around to control different points of the map, instead of camping the highest tower all the time.

If you want to prevent your enemies from calling their vehicles, you have to move a little bit to the frontline and take some risks.

Best way to balance the FG without actually nerfing its effective damage output or accuracy, IMO.

Reason 1 is a lie? I'll just tell you something:
Few days ago I was in my tank and suddenly I got hit. I activate my shield booster and I retreat, fortunately there is a small hill right there that protects me from the enemy fire...
I poke my nose up and I get hit again... Swarms? Missles? Wtf is hitting me?
I retreat again to regenerate my HP (1 minute lost so far).
Then again. So I'm really frustrated and I start shooting randomly, until I hit something invisible... wtf?
Conclusion: There was a missile installation 200m away and I realized it when I finally destroyed that b****.

If you call "lies" then we have nothing to discuss, until you try yourself and discover the shocking truth...
Once I killed a dropship passenger from almost 500m away. Luck? Absolutely. I was just aiming at the dropship. Sometimes it seems like the render is slightly better and sometimes it's awful. Did you have bad luck? Most likely.

Reason 2 has nothing to do with vehicle locks. I just urge him to try Shield tanks (and tanks in general) to realize how is to be hit by Forge guns and I might say the same to you.

A tank with 10.000 HP is not a tank, because you can't fit a repper if you put 2 180mm plates on it (cpu and pg), so basically it's a coffin, not a tank. The most tanked and still effective tank you can run has precisely 7250 eHP. Just learn something about tank fittings, ok?

Final and most important: The problem with you (not you as a person, but you as general type of player) is that you pretend to talk about something you don't know absolutely nothing about.
I have an Ishukone FG on an A/1 series with 2 complex damage mods and Proficiency Lv4 and I have a well fitted Gunnlogi. If you only would have tried BOTH this things seriously, there is no way you would be defending the FG unless you are a ******* ***** that doesn't want his gun nerfed, but I know you are not because it's genuinely obvious you don't know anything about tanks.

So yes, tanks have it hard. Shield tanks have it harder.

I still don't get what's the point of your discussion where the only thing I wanted to say is that I COULD NOT SEE THE INSTALLATION BECAUSE OF THE RENDER. If you want to tell me I'm stupid, fine, I've no problems with this, you can laugh at me or even offend me if you wish but I'm an adult and I won't run away crying. The only thing that matters here is that you can't see **** in a tank most of the time.

I understand what you're saying and I'm not calling "lie". However, I repeat that most of the time you can't see anything in a tank. Is that clear? No? Buy a MLT tank and rail and have fun, end of story, there is really nothing to add.

I can imagine this is your idea about tanks, seeing how much you like them

I'll go get a nice shower now, but I'll be back to answer eventually, even if this dicussion seems to be kinda pointless.
