DUST Search - WP for damage done vs vehicles has to be implemented ASAP, this is why...

Right now AV infantry has two options, team up to destroy tanks or push them back on your own without being able to solo them. The problem right now is that most blueberry teams are completely unorganized and it ends with one player defending his team from vehicles. HOWEVER, that player does NOT get REWARDED for doing so. Hence, why WP for damaging vehicles has to be implemented NOW!!!!

It will also mean that destroying a vehicle is not the only thing viable to get war points, especially with how hard it is to solo a good tank atm. But if the player was rewarded for pushing it back than there is simply no need to even destroy the tank anymore (of course, destroying it gives a nice WP bonus). IF and only IF such a WP system is implemented than AV/V debate = mostly solved.

I want tanks to be fun, but I want AV to be fun too.
if tanks are too hard to kill: fun for tanks, sucks for AV
if tanks are too easy to kill: sucks for tanks, fun for AV
Those two situations are the reason why AV/V could not be balanced properly, because one couldnt be fun without the other being unfun/frustrating.

HOWEVER:
if av gets wp for damaging vehicles: fun for tanks AND fun for AV

It's a win-win situation Big smile

Ps: It's not really the ultimate fix (that was just to get your attention), but it would go a looooong way into solving the eternal imbalance between tanks and AV

We had damage-based WP many moons ago but they were removed because of WP farming. Now, however, we have a global limiter that prevents mass-WP farming so it's definitely something I'd like to add back. If it's not possible to hot-fix in I'll poke the guys about getting in for 1.8. I think it's fair enough that you get rewarded for chasing off vehicles if not being able to outright destroy them.

That said, we hot-fixed the militia fuel injector last night. And right now we're testing increased recharge times on fuel injectors and slightly reduced speed on HAVs.

This is great news, I am just worried about them committing the mistake of doing it 6 months later.

But my AV grenades still don't work -_- I can't even take out a Militia LAV with 3 Advanced AV grenades. When I'm depressed, I cut myself......A BIG SLICE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE!
