Get good at tanking before you complain about AV.

How can you say that? we will only have the militia crap and grimsnes/(caldari one). Right?

Yea but they got a HP buff as well as a MASSIVE buff to PG / CPU, along with the option to not fit turrets.

Once Assault Dropships are back in the game....you're gonna need an AV assault dropship to take out other assault dropships, and even that probably won't work if afterburners become more popular, which is likely considering the massive stat boost.

Just gonna have to see how it plays out

Tankers who have stayed till now will stay for 1.7 to test it out, old tankers who did give up and either left the game or went infantry may return, part time tankers who have more in infantry may go full blown infantry or stick with a vehicle and dabble in it, new tankers will either leave or stay

AV players who use the SL will drop it, the vast majority will drop the SL altogether, those which know how to use it and how to get into a good place to take that tank out will stick with it, those which work together to take out a tank will also stick with it

FG players may drop it if the damage is reduced, the splash has been nerfed but if you can aim your fine, most FG player will most likely stick with it if they enjoy the fat suit

yes but I think that is actually just going to be fun. that now the air battle will last for few sec longer than before when they get F*cked in one breach forge shot from me. I haven-¦t come across on ship that has survived a breach shot from me. Their only chance is to avoid it. but of course they cant know that I spawn with a breach...

I can survive a breach shot so long as I either A.) have my resistances active or B.) am at max health.

That of course is assuming you don't hit my gigantic weak spot for what, 135% damage? Ouch. Judge has it right if you ask me, forges that are charging up should show up on the minimap as yellow dots. It's a very minor warning, but it would be a huge help.

So is it certain tha FG are going to be nerfed?

how much is your max hp?

Incubus

3,767 with 6% base resists

I'm no longer maxed in dropships thanks to Uprising and the last respec.

and there are 600k isk gone.. how mouch was the ant-¦s suit again? maybe 100k?

Try 139,000+ ISK. Most tanks run away after my first volley anyway.

The damage nerf isn't what's bothering me, it's the range nerf. To decrease the range by over 50% is too much. Make it at least 250 meters instead of 175 meters.

There is always someone out there so naive....

my point here exactly that swarmlunchers dont need any skills, they lock on and shoot. but tankers have to have a lot of skills, trying to escape bloody swarms. about 4-6m sp goes into a descent tank, maybe 1m into an op av bastard.

They lock on and shoot....but crash into everything possible.

They require you to have awareness to your surroundings, as well as the tank itself.

What most of the LOLTank Brigade is complaining about is redline AV. But that's like saying we should nerf snipers because of redline snipers.

Then there is the other part of the LOLTank brigade who thinks that AV should not exist any we should be forced to use HAVs to take out other HAVs.

And the 3rd pool of the LOLTank brigade simply wants an AV nerf because it can kill their $#!t fit HAVs

Again. Make a video of you soloing a well known and famous tanker and tell me how much of a scrub weapon it is. I'm waiting.

so you are saying that only well known and famous tankers should tank because they are not as hard to kill? that ridiculous!! thats like saying if logis aren-¦t doing theyr job fx repairing armour, providing ammo and reviving they shouldn't play as logistic. Then the logistic would vanish from dust514.

And what I think is that solo players shouldn't be able to destroy tanks easily at all unless like those paper-somas or very idiotic tankers.

No, I'm saying that if I have a PROTOTYPE weapon, only the best players should survive.

Or should we just give MLT suits the ability to survive a Freedom, Allotek, Isukone, Duvolle, and every other pro variant

IF YOU ARE NOT THE BEST TANKER THEN YOU SHOULD NOT SURVIVE THE BEST AV.

The best rivals the best, and only the best.

All I know is dropships are going to be invincible

maybe you dont see it, but there is a price difference to those two things. a descent tank is about 600k isk but a "PROTOTYPE" av costs at most 150-180k

I think that you need at least 2x 180k = 360k to destroy 600k, that is 2 "PROTOTYPE" av b*ches
