If tanks arn't OP then AV is UP. Five AVers can't kill a single tank with no gunners while his actives are up. Don't see the problem? Tanks are too fast to chase down, too deadly to engage directly, and too hard to engage during opportunistic times. The only way the current numbers will work is if AV is made into sidearms or equipment. Which is why I now use RE's on annoying tanks and crash an LAV into them. You asked for this. |

You can do work with a soma or sica and get enough out of the experience to see if you want to actually invest SP. This pisses off neckbeard tankers and it pisses off AV spoiled by the crippled tanks we saw in early Uprising. Props to Wolfman for angering two communities while making a niche role viable and fun.
Wow cosgar. I used to like you. You cant honestly think tanks arn't broken |

There's your problem right there. Glowy tank = Bad, not glowy tank = good.
I can underline too. |

Wow cosgar. I used to like you. You cant honestly think tanks arn't broken Never said it was perfect. AV needs to get WP for damaging vehicles again, rendering needs to improve so swarms can have a slightly longer range, proximity mines and REs need their damage to scale up and/or increase amount carried across the tiers, there needs to be more AV that's effective against shields, while tackling and EWAR needs to be a thing for both vehicles vs vehicle and infantry vs vehicle. It's a step in the right direction, but there's more room for improvement.
Proxies and RE's are the only things that work so making them better would make me happy. But swarms are currently pointless and it wouldn't make a difference if you could hit from 1000 meters as the damage taken by the tank would annoy the driver at best. |

And now you have to sit still and aim to kill then when your actives wear off you fly away. |

Proximity mines still have their range scaled to old vehicle speed values, as in beta old. REs actually aren't viable unless you're jihad jeeping. Physically running up and slapping REs on a tank's ass isn't as rewarding as it should be. It takes 3~4 to kill a militia with modules down in most cases and sometimes that's not enough.
Jhad jeep with 7 strapped to the hood usually does the trick :) |

You forgot my Soma costs like 65k and my proto AVers costs 180k.
And i cant still down a Soma with my AV suit.AGAIN. in order to balance tanks,reduce their number to 2 per team. Done: Balance. I'd be cool with that. Even as a tanker, I hate facing 4-6 enemy tanks with no av back up. Edit: if you can't kill a stock soma with proto av, you really suck at av.
He never said stock AV. He is a very good player. Try to read more. |
