But when you don't hear them, and all the sudden you're hit with a triple volley out of nowhere, you might as well kiss your HAV goodbye.

When I get bored, I spawn in with my Swarm and just snipe Turrets, LAVs, and HAVs. I Can fire off 3 shots at an HAV and be on my way to reloaded and locking onto it again by the time the first set of rockets hits the target. So, the HAV driver have 4 shots coming at him before he realizes he's in trouble.

Well good thing they nerfed the damage by 33% and the range by about 57%. Now us swarm users will be useless YAY.

Yep low damage and low range, that's completely balanced :D

Now tanks can lock entire squads out of combat, and dropships will be invincible if they fly high enough, and when we have the tank on fire, an idiot with a MLT forge gun can finish him off and get all the credit Big smile

Hardly, now you have to come into a range we can both fire at each other from. I am sick of you guys sitting at 300m+ where I cannot see you nor shoot you at while you destroy tanks with impunity.

Soon AV ambushes will be well used and necessary tactics, co ordination, massed fire power, and Tanks can have a place on the battlefield.

What you Atiim are complaining about is not tanks, it is the Large Blaster turret and I have made no attempts to hide that I too want it removed/ rebalanced to be a medium MAV turret. from the game for tanks to fill the niche role the should.

Most of the time I go against tanks its usually within 200m. The range nerf makes us useless to dropships not tanks although the 33% damage nerf sure doesn't help against tanks. Also why are you even bringing up invisible swarms. It's not like I purposefully make my swarms invisible for you guys. It's a render problem and the way CCP tried to fix it (Swarm range nerf) is just fucking half assed work.
