By now we have all come to realise that Tankers will simply not admit how OP Tanks and the spam of Tanks is and will not accept how detrimental it is to the game as a whole and due to their stubborness I don't see any changes to AV and vehicles in the forseeable future so instead of looking at nerfs or buffs to Vehicles and infantry AV weapons their is another way to make the game less spam tanks to win and more tactical ..

Installations

Right now they are basically free WP to all Tank and Dropship users due to how weak they are defensively and if I'm quite honest CCP may as well remove from the game or they need to change how they work and there are 2 ways they can do this

1. Buff the hp of all installations from 3500 eHP to 25,000 eHP .. how on earth can a Tank have more HP than a stationary installation it's the most broken thing in DUST by a mile, they should require teamwork from 2/3 Tanks to take them down and lets face it ... Tanks should be used to take out other vehicles and installations rather than running around in a group of 6 killing infantry

- This would encourage people to fight over installations in key choke points and make the game alot more tactical as it isn't just about hacking and holding points but also hacking and holding installations in important areas

- This would also give installations an actual role on the battlefield instead of being free WP for Vehicles

2. Remove Installations from every map and add new skills for deployable Installations that have 25,000 eHP

- Pretty much the same as point 1

I honestly believe Installations should be the strongest equipment in this game, they are stationary turrets designed for defending key areas if you look at real combat items like Tanks and jets they are only used to take out defensive installations to allow infantry to push on and take the point .. they aren't used to kill small groups of infantry and personally this is why I believe DUST is seriously flawed right now .. Tanks are used as slayers rather than bunker busters to burst through the lines


If changes aren't made to Installations then there is no justification to their being 6 tanks on a team .. 6 tanks and 10 infantry .. that's ridiculous

Please CCP make installations the real kings of the battlefield and make Tanks fulfill their role of bunker busting

Infantry < Tanks < Installations < Infantry/Dropships

I should add that Dropships are a weakness of installations due to their height being restricted a dropship can fly overhead and destroy them in safety and if they had a CRU they could keep dropping infantry onto the point to try and take it ... although I will add that the amount of installations should be reduced on each map most notably those in the redline near the MCC

These are initial thoughts so please be constructive with your feedback and refrain from just putting 'No' it's extremely disrespectful and ignorant
