As you said it, YOU GOT LUCKY = a few teammates pulled out swarms.

as it is, getting in a game and be the only one trying to AV vs lots of enemy vehicles is very common.
Specially in Amarr and cal FW...

Well yeah then it becomes hard King but the easiest way to kill those six unskilled tankers is for people to man the **** up and hop in their own tanks.

Don't give me that bullshit about "I shouldn't have to play a certain way to achieve something" I am constantly getting out of my Tank to assist incompetent infantry who don't have the brains or the skill to take a point, kill a single enemy, or even on the odd occasions Forge down an enemy HAV from a building top or hard cover.

I ***** and moan out of game to Aero about how infantry game play is garbage, how most allied infantry cannot be trusted to do even the slightest of jobs, and that its state, boring, and down right one dimensional....but hell i'll still do it if I have to.

The tankers more or less just pinned us down on the bridge where the supply depot was. you all know that spot. the dropship however just mopped us up while we tried to not die. the dropshipper finished 25-0. we were losing hard in this match, down about 25 clones (oms game) i decided to pull out AV. Luckily a few teammates decided to pull out swarms. i destroyed 2 tanks on my own, assisted in one kill and destroyed the drop ship twice. and destroyed a different drop ship as well. We came back and won by 9 clones. The point of this story is, if there vehicles can't do anything. Then you can easily take out the opposition's infantry. No vehcile suppourt for them and to few infantry on the ground for them to have all their ground covered. Minmatar Assault. Confused on what weapons i should use :/

Can generally run around their car and put a few charges on it and get them to hop back in. Instant kill plus more. But yeah no vehicle is too hard to kill including alot of the tank fits people run.

Broonfondle Majikthies Seykal Expeditionary Group Minmatar Republic 642	Posted - 2013.12.29 01:23:00 - [7] - Quote Personally I have no AV because none exist in the game that I personally would find interesting or entertaining to use. I can't stand swarms and FG's kinda require you to go for a heavy suit as well. The PC interests me at times but I'm too aware that the shot is slow and the reload mechanic is too slow for anything less than a lvl 5 Commando and decent Rapid Reload skill. Even then its doesn't have the punch its slow shot really implies. Until then all I can fall back on is RE's, luckily they do pretty well Though considering the risk you have to go through to place them they don't really do enough.

p q Zylak's Used Clones 33	Posted - 2013.12.29 10:59:00 - [14] - Quote Vehicles in 1.7 have totally altered Domination matches. It's weird; some Dom maps make tanks useless, other maps make it a total "tank match". Ambush is the least altered game. Do people really play much Ambush? Ambush is what I play to take a break from the real games. Dropships and jeeps are always useful. My character focus has become a lot less useful since 1.7; now I run militia forge gun and militia railgun tank half the time instead of logistics; AV - the new support class. It's like I lost 10 to 14 mil sp in one update

Master Jaraiya Ultramarine Corp 1433	Posted - 2013.12.29 14:18:00 - [17] - Quote It takes 4 shots from my PROTOTYPE Assault Forge Gune to take out a MLT HAV without hardeners running. (I only know this because I caught a few bad tankers trying to retreat and they got stuck.) That's too much. Especially when the same 65k ISK MLT HAV can take me out in my 160k ISK Prototype Heavy before I can even charge the FG. I can no longer try to use a height advantage because the speed and maneuverability allows the HAV to easily break LoS or retreat out of range.

There is not reason I shouldn't be able to handle some scrub in a 0 SP MLT HAV easily. Sure, Proto AV vs Proto HAV should require teamwork on the part of AV in the form of TWO fully dedicated AV specialists. When it takes at least two fully dedicated Proto AV specialists using teamwork and tactics to take out a MLT HAV that knows just enough to not get his HAV stuck, there is a serious problem with balance.

But when you are the only who is doing it, then it gets a little more difficult. It requires teamwork to take out vehicles and 99.99% of the player base doesn't know the definition of teamwork. Come on now, who has ever heard of teamwork, games have only been around for so many years. You figure people would get that by now, or get a mic.
