I've noticed a problem: Many AV players think that they have to kill vehicles, not because they want to be entitled dickwads, but because they really do have to. Otherwise, no pay for the match. So rather, how about they get points while they damage the vehicle, up to a point, then it hits a cap for a little while (about a minute or 2). Each vehicle type (maybe the tech 2 vehicles gets a separate set because of different values) would get a different set of points, because all of them has different sets of values (a HAV's is worth more than a MAV because it's harder to hurt perse) That means, shooting at a HAV then capping out means that you would cap out from shooting at a MAV or LAV. Lastly, the cap doesn't reset if you kill the vehicle, to keep farming in check.

TL;DR

AV weapons get awards for damaging vehicles

After X amount of damage, you get an award. After X amount of awards, you hit a cap to prevent farming

Each vehicle type (maybe the tech 2 vehicles as well) would get a different set of awards due to different survivalbility values

Killing the vehicle doesn't reset the cap to prevent farming

Vehicles get their survivalbility with the changes at max vehicle stats from now

Peace, Godin Twisted

I don't even really think it's that. They might consider it a great excuse, but if they can't solo a tank, any tank, no matter who is piloting it, then it's OP, no matter the circumstances. Doesn't matter if I have a fusion accelerator and F-84 scanner, or using a max damage rail, if they can't solo it, then it's OP and must be nerfed. Nevermind I've been tanking for a while now, and generally know what I'm doing. The only problem is that AV is so much more effective at destroying me than another tank is.

Stop whining Spike, you cleary don't av often enough to have an opinion on the subject! Yes OP, WP for dmg makes sense, there are many ways it could be done! But in general if tankers don't want av chasing them round the map, there needs to be more rewards than just blowing it up. It creates the wrong mentality.
