we used to have wp damage rewards. it was exploited for warpoints and got removed forever

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

We should certainly get WP if some lamer recalls their vehicle within 20s of us damaging it. Number of HAV kills I miss due to recalls is beginning to annoy me.

Actually it's going to be phased back in as part of the vehicle reloading. A lot of stuff is getting WP but it will take a few patches.. like 1.7 or 1.8 depending on how long it takes them to reach an "ideal balance".

Edit: As for the vehicle WP returns I don't know what patch that might be or if they might toss the return of it, but it is currently "being looked at".

Either you're doing it wrong, or you're not good enough. Stop trying to solo tanks.

What's up your poop-chute? Did you lose your HAV last match?

Screw the farming cap, if somebody wants to farm WP in this manner, then more power to them as it really wouldn't be too fruitful and somewhat difficult to pull off consistently (this can already happen with revive WP, yet it is extremely rare).

Infantry weapons aside, any AV weapon should give equal rewards for a hit. Whether that be 1 AV nade, 1 swarm volley (or partial volley), 1 plasma cannon hit, or one forge hit. And vehicle destruction WP needs to be massively increased. To the tune of 1000 WP for a tank destruction, 500 for a dropship, and 250 WP for a LAV (500 for LLAV).

I think 15-25 WP per hit on a vehicle is reasonable. 15 for LAV's, 20 for LLAV's and dropships, and 25 for tanks.

That's far too excessive.
250 WP for LAVs? The sky will rain with orbitals and tears.
Especially if you have rewards for just a hit rather than damage. If you have it so that a partial swarm volley generates 15-25 WP, then that potentially means a full swarm volley gives you 90-125 WP. That's ridiculous.

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.
