My recollection of rock-paper-scissors is that paper is better at beating rock than rock is. Can you honestly say that AV is better at destroying a tank than another tank is?

So you answered my question 'Can you honestly say that AV is better at destroying a tank than another tank is?' by saying that six AVers (AV grenade=AV) are better than one tank at anti-tank. You should try a career in politics.

The way I remember rock-paper-scissors, one paper would beat one rock. So let's try again.

Is one AV better at taking out a tank than one tank?

Or if you prefer, you can answer this one: What has a better chance of taking out a convoy of six tanks - six tanks or six AVers?

Who said anything about this being a solo game? I even asked you what's better at anti-tank, six tanks or six AV. Not only are you unable to give a straight answer to simple questions, you can't even read. You just went FR.

Again you fail at reading comprehension. When did I ever say anything about you being non-infantry?

But I really want us to get along. I like your spunk, in a totally hetero way. So let me assure you that you'll never see me in a tank of any description. I'm just pointing out that when the field is full of tanks but I don't even think about bringing out my proficiency 5 forge gun, something is seriously wrong with the game. I might get the tank, but it's just not worth putting down my AR when any scrub in a militia rail tank will do a better job than my forge.

The game CAN be played by infantry, but it involves a lot of hiding in buildings, which makes it very boring. I've played three matches in the last two weeks; before that I capped every week for six months+.

I'm sure you're having fun making every squad member give up their locus for AV nades, but in that case you'll all die quickly the moment you come in contact with a decent squad. You do realize core locus is a primary weapon for many PC-level players? If you're relying on your rifle you're giving yourself a 600HP disadvantage in most engagements. But I'm sure what you're doing works in pubs, anything does <3

I put up a thread to discuss the possibilities of an av suit with bonuses generated towards each races av weponary but it was soon forgotten and buried beneath all the QQ nerf tank threads.

It's a trap!

At the moment there are several suits (e.g. Min assault, which makes your sidearm beastly; Ama logi, which gives you the sidearm plus slots for REs; heavy basic frame, for two damage mod forge) that are especially suited to AV. If you introduced a new AV suit that was worth using, dedicated AV would have millions of SP trapped in what used to be a good proto AV suit. Do we really want to screw infantry over yet again by making their good choices into bad ones by changing the rules of the game?

Couple that with the fact that infantry already have plenty of SP trapped in other once useful but now useless places because they didn't get a respec like the precious vehicle users did, and you can see that not many players would have the SP to spare to go into this new suit. The idea is just an elaborate tanker distraction from the 30%+ damage buff that is evidently needed for all AV weapons, no strings attached.

You say this as if tanking has teamwork as a prequisite.

We could AV. Or we could use the better AV, which is a MLT HAV.

Lets see here. 200k per suit with the guarrantee to die 3-4 times trying to kill the tank, while also being shredded and pounded by infantry at the same time.

OR

78k tank with a MLT Railgun that does more damage than any AV weapon in this game could possible hope to achice, theoretical invulnerability from infantry, and the guarantee to die 0-1 times.

Which one should I pick?

Yeah nerf AV, it's so OP! And nerf flaylocks and contact nades while you're at it
