I seem to be having problems with vehicles since 1.7, If the opponent has vehicles I'm dead and my team cannot win no matter what we do. It seems if you have vehicles within the first few seconds of spawning the game is already won. This is causing me some issues as I'm not earning enough SP to unlock new skills that might help me fight Vehicles which really irritates me. For me to actually win games now I would have to pay via AUR but I thought this game wasn't pay to win?

Are Vehicles Over powered or am I just playing the game when all the pro players are offline? I have noticed that I'm able to take away a vehicles shields but then the vehicle starts glowing, I'm guessing this glowing thing is a hardening shield? I'm also going to guess this increases the shields so any attack does less damage to it which is very frustrating when your at my level of exp, which isn't a very high level.

So I'm curious is anyone else having similar issues and do the more experienced players have any pointers they would like to share about how to combat vehicles? The wep I'm using now on my AV setup is swarm launchers as that's all I can afford to unlock right now :(

The only option for killing vehicles is another vehicle, the only option for infantry is hiding in buildings. CCP's reasoning: 'because'.

Another got three AV grenades tossed by my good friend Vos and forged in the ass by me. Last one got a very similar treatment. LAVs are your friend, most times you want to wait until they stop and get in a comfortable spot they think they can farm infantry. Strike when they least expect it and try to hit them in the rear you get a very significant damage bonus from it, including from AV grenades and swarms. Stalk your prey, pay attention to when their hardeners are and hit during cooldowns. However if the tanker is smart they'll play very defensive when they have no modules to save them. Find out if they run a "route" and setup an ambush them. Most importently you have to outsmart them. Hence why people are having issues killing tanks as of late. Anywho happy holidays and happy tank hunting! ZionTCD Director & Ammar Loyalist Amarr Sentinel \| Amarr Logi \| *Losematar* Scout What is a signature?

CCP's reasoning: 'because'. This is only because instead of coming up with an agreement for AV changes, you all continued to say "NOPE AV IS FINE CCP, WORKING AS INTENDED. ALL THAT STUFF TANKERS SAY IS JUST QQ". Sooo you all got nerfed into the ground, which is fine. More WP for me, since most of the old AV scrubs say "What? I can't tower camp all game, DOES NOT COMPUTE" ZionTCD Director & Ammar Loyalist Amarr Sentinel \| Amarr Logi \| *Losematar* Scout What is a signature?
