DUST Fiend wrote:To say that swarm launchers are the dumbest thing in this game. At least forge guns need to aim 
It boils down to this:
- People like to claim the Swarm Launcher is Easy Mode because it is the easiest weapon in the game to aim.
- However if you applied this standard consistently then Red Line Sniping would be Hard Mode, as it is the hardest aiming situation. I mean think about it. They have to crouch down, and take several seconds to line up their shots against people the size of ants.
- If you think about why Red Line Sniping is not Hard Mode, then you might start to realize why Swarm Launchers are not Easy Mode.
Now if you want to stop harping on the Swarm Launcher mechanic, then maybe we can get down to a real balance discussion. Swarm Launchers were fine back in 1.2. No one complained about them then. Of course they have been buffed twice since, so I agree that they are OP right now.
I am in favour of increasing HAV effective health, but giving AV 10 WP for every 1000 damage done against Vehicles. If it took more hits from AV to kill a Tank then the Tanks would have more time to react and find cover. It would also reward AV for driving off a Tank rather than only rewarding for the kill. Sometimes driving the tank off is all that is needed.
I think there should be a Lock On warning for all Vehicles, particularly Drop Ships.
I think Drop Ships should be able to equip counter measures such as flares.
Tell me, which would be more fun? Implementing my ideas? Or making Swarm Launchers dumb fire? |

Who said anything about dumb fire? I'm just raging because I don't see how it's possible to become a vehicle specialist if you aren't already one. Thank God this game isn't on disc because I really want to snap it in half right now, almost a year of vehicle abuse and I'm at my limit, I can't ******* handle it right now. Infantry play is God awful boring and unless you have all your vehicle skills maxed you might as well just forget about it if the enemy team is even halfway awake. I'm just so ******* done right now
I can sympathise with you there. Vehicle balance has taken too long. You guys are in a bad situation and being asked to just keep holding your breath for yet another month.... or two .... lets hope it is only two!

Proto AV in general is stupidly OP vs vehicles
Lock on warning + Active Explosive Damage Resistance modules would do a lot to alleviate this problem.

You guys are in a bad situation and being asked to just keep holding your breath for yet another month.... or two .... lets hope it is only two! Yea, I've burned millions upon millions of ISK trying to make it work just in pubs, nevermind PC. I need to just stop playing or force myself to run only BPOs, I just get so painfully bored. Ugh, I feel bad too cuz my corp helped me with a little ISK and it's already gone. I just need to stop, it's so stupid.
If you walk away from the Game it will still be there when you come back. It might be harder to walk away from your Corp, but if they have any compassion they will understand based on the current state of vehicles. It is clear that you are suffering from burn-out, exacerbated by serious problems in the aspect of the game you want to play. Continuing to pound your head against the wall will not make it feel any batter. Take a break, and come back to the game fresh in a few weeks. The vehicle balance will be much closer by then. |
