Could you elaborate on the blast radius values for turrets?

I don't see how you tankers aren't absolutely furious over this.

So instead of whining about it, how about you propose something different?

You get a Railgun that does 1,800+ damage from 10x the range. A Large Missile Launcher that does more than that.

I'm sorry but basing an argument on three legitimate AV options: Swarms which do more damage than they honestly should, AV grenades which require you to be danger close and Forges which are actually pretty well balanced. Versus Tanks which are good for everything except AV.

I dunno what to tell you because it's not going to be what you want to hear. Obviously, CCP doesn't either.

So much bitching about CCP 'nerfing' tanks and not an ounce of feedback. You guys are doing an awesome job of the communication CCP is finally doing.

Just shooting yourselves in the face and complaining that it hurts. Pretty soon you'll be right back to bitching that CCP doesn't talk.

Here's my feedback:

- Rendering and draw distance is a major problem but I look forward to the fixes in 1.5 - maybe they'll be ironed out.
- Swarms do far too much damage for such ease of use.
- Plasma Cannons still need to be decided on whether they're anti-infantry or anti-vehicle, and then changed accordingly.
- Forge Guns are really well balanced right now but their damage might need to be turned down slightly in accordance with these new changes.
- Large Missiles need a larger splash radius for them to be suppression weapons, right now they have less radius than small arms.
- Small railguns need a complete rework as they're fair too difficult to use with too little damage for when you actually hit someone (I have yet to ever successfully hit anything with them)
- Small Blasters might need a slight range boost as giving them ammo counts as well as overheat makes them very conditional.
- Blasters need to have a slight blast radius otherwise they fall victim to hit detection issues, they previous had this and it made a Small Scattered Blaster on the back of an LAV an amazing tide-turner when aiming at the feet.
- Small Turrets (all of them) need turret shields.
- Remote Repair and Shield Transport modules need to have a better control scheme and longer range. I would suggest having them replace turrets for use with vehicles and infantry repair modules to work in a sphere around the vehicle.
- WP rewards added for repairing friendlies. Not having any makes Vehicle Logistics a tough job.

Couple of things to keep in mind guys:

AV weapons should also be getting work done to them to bring them in line with the new numbers. Those will be posted at a later date. For now, try to focus on vehicle vs vehicle interactions.

Small arms shouldn't be able to disrupt shield recharging. I don't have the exact number for the threshold off the top of my head, but it should be enough to prevent someone from pinging you with an assault rifle to stop the recharge.

On another note, CCP Wolfman is out of his cave for a short time, so it might be a little while before he pops his head back into the thread. Keep the feedback rolling in though to make sure he's got a nice list of things to talk about when he gets back (and don't worry, there will be enough time for talking when he gets back)

Now, vehicles might have some differences but at no point were either of them -ever- glass cannons and considering that there are no damage mods for vehicles and almost all vehicle mods are in the low slots I have no idea where you're getting this from.

As far as partial respecs/refunds for vehicle related stuff goes, they are on the table. No details yet, but that's because we're still discussing how we want to do it. We will let you know when we've decided how it will go down.

As far as the removed vehicle types go, we are looking to return them. However, we need to battle test the base variants first so we have a solid platform to work from.

As far as modules go, we will also looking at returning some (but not necessarily all) of them. Again, we need to cut down and get the basics battle tested before we can throw back in all sorts of good stuff.

As good as number crunching and internal playtesting may be, it's not as good as you guys fighting each other with these vehicles live.

That's what I've been trying to tell you guys this entire time O_o;
