I really don't understand. (yes this is a slight rage thread)
I was flying around in a logi ship, i had one gunner, we were kinda doing are thing, getting a few kills here and there, not a massive threat.
I was getting hit by swarms and forges constantly.
To the point where i was useless and so was the av, because i would just be far away in unreachable spots.
They kept all there militia swarms, must have been 4-6 guys running swarms with 2-3 forges. Of course scrubs also got into the rail turrets and continued trying to shoot us down.
But my question is, why try so hard to kill something, that is already not that much of a threat. My gunner might get 10 kills if he's lucky.
15-20 if not a crap ton of av is being used.
Pulling out all this av makes me useless and also 3-6 guys on your team. because just one av person isn't good enough

If you're an older player it's most likely hatred for vehicles in builds past, these new guys have it lucky lol. |

I do it for tanks, because shield tanks can get such rediculous EHP that I can dump three swarms into them, and they don't blink an eye.
I also do it, because it significantly increases my own reward, as the reward for playing is partially based off of the value of destroyed equipment. |

Dropships are easy kills, sort of. They are in the wide open, and have less HP than a HAV, so people crave the possibility of a freebie.
But, bring an HAV on the battlefield and mow over noobs like shooting fish in a bucket and the enemy will just keep spawn as infantry and run into slaughter... |

In all honesty, you effectively neutralized or at least occupied almost half of the enemy team. If your team had any cooperation at all, they would have seized the opportunity and either killed off the AV players or recaptured objectives.
You did your job well, it's just a shame you don't get warpoints for it. Such is the life of the flying targe... I mean dropships. |

causing grief. Every player is a twatt and wants to see expensive stuff burn thats why. Dropships are a really easy target to shot at aswell. Flying high, easy to lock on and hard to dodge AV with. Oh and the fact that dropships in early builds where causing terror left and right with missile launchers. People dont forget and they allways looking for revenge. It might not be today, maybe not tomorrow but someday that n00b with the swarm launcher will kill ya. |

You're a flying price tag that everyone can see. I'd take out my proto swarms for ya, but i'd do the same for any vehicle besides the free lav's. They only get standard and only if they are being annoying.
And pub matches don't matter. I get more enjoyment from destroying expensive vehicles than I do actually winning a match. |

Once people are in their swarm fit they can't do much else but shoot at you (unless there are other enemy vehicles or they're near a supply depot - often neither is the case). |

Either nobody goes AV or 4-5 do. This actually isn't an easy issue to get around, as even organized squads will usually put voice in squad or a private channel, not team. |

Sad thing is they were worth more for dishing out damage than actual tanking, when it should've been the other way around..... |

Also make sure you have a competent team before you call in your vehicle, it seems to drastically affect survivability. One game I decided to call in my dropship I had sitting in my inventory to brush up on my flying skills. Next thing you know my team gets stone walled and red lined, with not much to shoot at you can only imagine how much AV comes out of the woodwork. I just powered up the afterburner to see how fast I could circle the map. |

Because AV is sooo incredibly easy everyone wants the "Free Warpoints".

Hi, my name is John (hi, john), and I'm an AVholic.
It all started in beta when packs of murder taxis roamed the earth, allowing noobs and the unskilled to rack up 10-20 kills with free gear. Indestructible hulks called Suryas would lumber through and get the rest. I learned to fight back, and got paid really well to do it. It felt so goood too! I just couldn't stop myself, even when my KDR suffered and I lost ISK in the process. But now, with the help of my sponsor....
Oh wait, he just ran to the supply depot to get his wyrkomi. I'm outta here!
( so anyway, yeah, residual rage from beta + lots of ISK in return for satisfying our bloodlust) |

i hate snipers on top of the skyscrapers killing freely in proto gear with little chance of losing it
i will switch to av and take out dropships to stop that as much as i can
tanks i will go for when im in the fit/near depot other wise i leave that for our tanks
Lav if being used to jump around the map capping or running people over i will take them out too, if not i ignore them as they just go from point A - point B then recall |

I'll whoop out the AV stuff because that's what it's there for. But, if I can see that the DS pilot knows how to outmaneuver swarms or a HAV can outrun them, then I go back to putting bullets in faces. Unless, I know who the pilot is... |

I don't use swarms, I am a fan of the forge gun however. If I am just running a standard anti infantry route I use a standard FG which just so happens to be good ( not great like the assault variant ) at taking out vehicles.
Why do I do it; A. It's a derpship, 9/10 I am with a scrub group in a pub match and a high spawn location going to the reds means we lose, if I want to win I HAVE to take out that derpship before it gets to its destination. B. It's a tank, blueberries are getting steam rolled and refuse to go AV as well means we lose our point/our clones/the game, plus costing tankers money make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. C. It's a LAV, honestly I never see these as a threat, I am pretty good at juking the murder taxis. I blow them up for points.
I mean honestly, I am either using a FG or AR/MD if I know I'll only be hunting infantry, why would I NOT aim to cripple the enemies tactical advantages? |
