1) Nerf militia tanksGǪGǪjust kidding. What this does is give no truly effective counter to the real tankers who will roflstomp infantry otherwise. Having powerful militia tank is necessary to keep tanks in check, when one is not a 'tanker'.
Except militia tanks are often used to kill infantry not other tanks.
1.5) Buff AV. Sounds great until you realize that dropships are finally becoming useful, and an AV buff would knock them back into the dark ages.
Buff AV or not it doesn't matter for dropships rail guns and rail installations reign hell on dropships, it only takes 2 shots regardless of the dropship, soreally a dropship HP buff is greatly needed along with a AV buff.
1.6) Award 10 WP / 1000 DMG inflicted vs vehicles w/ AV weapons
2) Increase militia tank cost to 150k and STD hulls to 200k. Now, the real tankers will not be affected, but mlt tnk spam is impossible because losing more than 1 puts the user in the hole for the next battle- just like a tank should.
Lol 10 WP for 1000 damage if only I could hit 1000 damage. At least 500 during hardened phase.
A tank should be powerful, yes, but it should not be something deployed more than once in a pub match. At the same time, it should not take 7 battles to generate enough ISK to deploy one tank.
Right now, a good gunlogi/maddy cost 400k. A good sica/soma costs 80k. Most battles will give someone around 200k. Ratios are as follows: STD(2:1) MLT (1:2). It needs to change to: MLT(1:1). MEaning, losing 1 STD tank fit takes 2 battles to regernate, losing 1 militia takes 1 battle to regenerate.
If this change was implemented, we would no longer see people spamming tanks because it bumps their KDR because most somas/sicas do not survive an entire battle- especially if there is a real tanker on the other team. Because of this, only expert tankers and those curious about driving tanks all deploy tanks. MLT tanks will still be powerful and accessible, STD well fitted tanks will not be only accessible to the rich, and infantry can enjoy a game with much less tank spam than we have now, while still delighting in the 3-Dimensional battlefield that 1.7 has brought us.
Also, award WP/DMG when using AV weapons
