Sinboto Simmons SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 3496	Posted - 2013.12.27 07:39:00 - [1] - Quote Only then can AV and armor be balanced, right now we have Proto AV being balanced to align with STD vehicles, if we had Proto/Advanced vehicles they could be balanced more soundly with their respective AV and we'd have less problems taking out vehicles on a lower level than our Ainti Armor gear.

ladwar Death by Disassociation Zero-Day 1933	Posted - 2013.12.27 07:44:00 - [3] - Quote meh... MLT tank spam is easy to counter, more so when they only bring in one type. just got done with a match where i killed 4 and fellow tanker using rails killed a few as well and it isn't that hard to kill MLT tanks. STD tanks have more flexibility so im happy with chasing the good ones away and killing the bad ones with infantry av. Level 2 Forum Warrior, retired vet.

Agreed, new AV players don't stand much of a chance unless they are against a new MLT HAV pilot and if you remember Surya's and Sagaris's think of what they could be like now. When they reintroduce the high end vehicles they'll need to buff the AV again, if they don't well let's just see what happens, most of the closed Beta guys remember the New Eden Missile tank crisis....... We could do without a repeat of that. Closed Beta AV veteran I drink because I play Dust

Tiercide is a must, and vehicles were already tiercided pre 1.7. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Not necessarily a direct improvement (and in t I'm in agreement that that would be bad). No, no we don't (this coming from a tanker). If you don't think your tank is durable enough, then your just fitting it wrong. How many infantry and vehicles with based av-weapons do you think that your tank should be able to handle before being blown up? The fact that one guy with a swarm launcher or forge gun is unlikely to kill you when your shields and armor are full is reasonable. But if durability is to be increased then we're gonna have a situation where not even 3-4 infantry with av-weapons have a chance to destroy a tank even if they cooperate. That would be a bad development for the game. The role of a tank is to be bulletproof against small arms. You're not supposed to be able to shrug off sustained fire from anti-tank weapons. Thats what evasive driving is supposed to be your primary defense.

Thats what evasive driving is supposed to be your primary defense. I think you misunderstand my point; I am of the opinion that current AV is too weak to fulfil its goal. I would argue that a more durable HAV, like the old Surya or Sagaris (regarding only their greater durability and not their improved damage potential) would be an excellent balancing point for top-tier AV. Such an HAV would have to have significant drawbacks, to things like movement, particularly, considering that this is one of the problems facing current AV. Balancing top tier AV against a higher point (and perhaps increasing its price at the same time) would allow AVers to rapidly eliminate low level HAVs in the way that they want, while still giving recourse to more experienced pilots looking for a more effective vehicle. I'd say that the desired level of balance would be something like what we have now between top level AV and HAVs, where the imbalance is in low level HAVs, in their almost identical durability, and low level AV, because really, who uses STD AV for anything at all? In no way am I saying that 'it should take three AV to kill me' or that 'my top tier fitted Gunnlogi is (still) UP'. I'd like something like a siege module for a class of HAVs, something that makes it nigh indestructible for a period of time, and also prevents movement. The sort of thing it would need to take multiple AVers, if not HAVS to destroy. I'd like to see Enforcers being the AV monsters they should have been (and would have been, had there been a damage bonus to rails ). I don't want an easily accessible win button, like MLT HAVs tend to be at the moment, and I feel like a more durable HAV would be a good place to balance from. PRO tanker and proud.

Reav Hannari Red Rock Outriders 2275	Posted - 2013.12.27 14:56:00 - [26] - Quote Other than introductory militia vehicles I like how the vehicles don't have tiers but instead introduce specialized models. As a dropship pilot I can choose between a regular dropship emphasizing defense over offense and agility and the assault models which emphasize offense and agility over defense. Both have their place. Give us specialized variants and forget the tiers. // Spike Lieutenant // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana
Hugin-Frey Z International 2	Posted - 2013.12.27 15:11:00 - [27] - Quote I doubt this game can have everything at once.... Everyone goes towards what works best so it can be a tank game with a few infantry or a infantry game with a few tanks. I don't really enjoy driving tanks and it is boring to play infantry vs invincible tanks so if it becomes Tanks 514 I'll take a break from it. Also, I'm sure that will draw new players into the game; getting proto-tank stomped. Not fun.

You had STD hulls going up against PRO AV. But that STD hulls could have Complex modules which is Tier III, making it technically PRO. Your vehicles being tiericided does not make it unbalanced. On another note Tankahiro, I think it would be best for you to refrain from calling others out on double standards. Talk about calling the Kettle black. We finally deployed in the MinFW Match! \o/

Tiercide is a must, and vehicles were already tiercided pre 1.7. I don't often agree with Cat Merc, but when I do...it's about tiericide. I like the idea behind Sinboto's OP and not too long ago I would of been all about the higher tiered vehicles. I've shifted my views and now that I understand how they did this in EVE I think this is the way to go. The heart of it is needing to figure out if AV is where it needs to be or more seriously if tanking is where it needs to be. My thought if there is no tiericide option is that you shouldn't get access to standard (currently militia level) tanks until you've skilled into at LEAST level 4 vehicle operation. The ISK cost of tanks needs to noticeably increase as well.
