Trying to balance when 50% of the content is not even here (webifiers, great example) is also hard...

Since wednesday, av vs Hav complaints have hit the all time high. but Instead of commenting on how to make the war even, you continue to argue over the same ideas on a ridiculous amount of threads. I think it is time to come together and think how the game can become balanced once and for all.

CCP does listen to us, and through all of the different sides that you present, they take forever to change a thing because they have to decide what side is right. if we could all agree on a single change, they can playtest it themselves, and get an update out sooner.

Let me start off the ideas....

We all know that the reason that tanks are proficient now is that they can get out of a zone in no time flat. Swarms have a hard time keeping the vehicle in range, and the speed makes hitting them with rails / forge difficult. instead of nerfing the speed of the vehicles outright, perhaps we can come up with a weapon, like a grenade that instead of damaging the vehicle, this av weapon is a webifier that will slow down the tank, and allowing more shots to be taken off of them before they could retreat. this would allow vehicles to have the raw speed to escape, but they cannot always depend on it, as they could be webbed, and if the webifier is used correctly, the tank can be crippled at just the right moment for take-down.

thats the beauty of 1.7, becasue they completely redid vehicles to make them simpler, it becomes easy to add things without noise. We could try things like the webifier, or even variations of current weapons ( swarms that either do more damage, or have more range) one at a time to try and balance while giving everyone a fair shot. the community just needs to sit down for a while and come up with a solution together
