Come on OP they wont swap from the SL to the FG, that requires slight hipfire aim against big targets with basically hitscan and they dont have any if not abusing high places

Don't forget about the 1.7 buff to Large Rails on top of all that you mentioned. Now they do Compressed Railgun damage at Normal Railgun rate of fire and heat gain ... and THEN they added 30% active vehicle damage mods to the game. Redline railing will be far more potent than it is now as a result and Dropships, with their increased reliance on active resist mods in order to tank any sort of significant damage, will be the easiest targets to tag.

Stick to Ambush, guys.

A former HAV user, and today I fielded my cheap BPO std without dmg mod swarm fit and killed two madrugars easily... Damn that was easy kills.

Aww man. I wanted the big boys like Charlotte, Void, and Spkr to come out. Heck even 'Ol Ben would suffice.

Why did the LOLTank Brigade send you of all people?

To answer the OP,

We are changing to FGs in 1.7 because we don't think that our PRO weapons should do minimal damage to a vehicle

We also are switching to FGs because it will take multiple people to destroy one vehicle. Which is disgustingly sick considering how it only takes one person to operate what is quite literally the easiest role in the game, as well as one that doesn't require even teamwork.

I on the other hand, find it quite impossible to switch considering how I use both FGs and SLs.

"Teamwork for thee, but no teamwork for me" -such is the motto of AV infantry

If you can easily solo a vehicle with STD AV, then it was a poorly fit vehicle. There is no getting around that and if you are quickly taken down by one guy running STD AV you need to start using hardners and (while I hate to use this) "GET GOOD".

1.) Tanks and all vehicles (besides DSs) are self sustainable. They only require one person to operate and you are not required to use teamwork in any condition, shape, fashion, or form to be successful.

Why should any unit, class, suit, or weapon require teamwork and multiple people to take down

Tell me, how can you deny a vehicle of anything when the swarms do minimal damage and the vehicle can easily evade the attack with minimal harm and escape easily?

And there we go, the problem with vehicle mentality, you should be able to roll in and kill infantry, LAVs, and Dropships, but you should only be "denied" rather than destroyed. Absolutely idiotic.


And yes you have A 300m range with the FG, have you ever tried to hit anything at that range? Better hope its stationary and you don't have infantry trying to chew you up.

6.) I use hardners too. And because of this I don't get insta-killed or near insta-killed by PRO AV. If you use hardners,AV is a joke weapon. So yeah tankers are either not running hardners, they have poorly fit vehicles, or they are lying. (I already know that in most cases, all three are true. But the latter applies to almost everyone).
And AV grenades require you to get right in front of the vehicle, so 9/10 times, it's the driver's fault.
4.) In BF3? Oh yes we should make this like other games! That's perfect. Let's make DUST 514 like other FPS titles! We should also make this like COD and lower the TTK even further! In other words, your an idiot.

insert retardation here

A hardener and a report or hardener and nitrous has allowed dozens of tanks get away in the matches I've been in . The tanks that I get to blow up fall into the following divisions:

1. **** Fit
2. Lol god- mode I don't need to pay attention to my health
3. Unwilling to take cover when under assault.
4. Hot drop tanks into active combat zones (asking for it)
5. Glass cannons focused on maximum slaughter.


And I give Atiim credit, I've seen him tank, I've got the drop and blown up his tank before, that said he has a knack for pulling the cockroach maneuver and scurrying under cover BEFORE his tank is in critical condition.

Which is how you extend the life of a tank in the first place.

I use standard nades, I have to be self sufficient against infantry to stick around long enough to be useful for AV, I have heard that sentiment quite a bit though.

This may change a bit with 1.7, but is not CCP pushing this "waves of opportunity" concept? Sounds exactly like coming in, blowing cool downs and gtfo. If you think having to hit and run is bullshit this might not be the game for you.
