av is not underpowered the users are being stupid.....
...i was a tanker in chromosome i am 36 mill sp into infantry 1.2 mill sp into tanks..ive used the same tactics people used on me in chromosome with my av..vs tanks to great effect.
ive also tanker through failed avers trying to solo me on foot ..and also poorly organized av squads attempt at what i just described..and yet at the same time i personally have pulled of and watched skilled av i know of old use these simple techniques to slaughter tanks and then vehicle deny the enemy team.
so in short a message from Mortedeamor stop the QQ get good. Be a solid aver and you wont have a problem STOP running and gunning alone and get TACTICAL. also have a good day
Mortdemore,
First I think you've got a workable tactic for taking on milita HAVs when the conditions are right. It's not that different to what I use and I've been having some modest success at tank hunting, certainly not the 9 tanks in one match you are claiming. I'm not doubting your claim btw, actually pretty impressed.
However, let me draw your attention to the highlighted part of you comment. Dude...you've got about 37mil SP and I bet your partners have something in that neighborhood as well. I would expect a player of your experience, skills, and fitting options to be able to do well in just about any situation. Your also probably in the upper 5% of players with that level of SP. It's a different experience for most other folks on the field.
The issue is that a guy with 500k SP right out of the academy...with no investment in SP and for less ISK than your AV set...can go 20/0 and it takes at least a couple veteran players out of the taking objectives and anti infantry game to deal with him. Wouldn't you say that you and your partners would have been more or less helpful to the team taking objectives and clearing out enemy strong points?
Last point, as someone mentioned earlier...this works against militia HAVs. I've seen zero success against veteran tankers and about the same for dropships. Most dropship kills I've seen are when the pilot clips a structure and we continue to hammer him...so effectively the pilot gets a kill assist on himself. Have you had luck against those opponents?
So...now I'm off to start working on skilling into logi suits, heavy suits, forges, and LAV skills to get into proper tank hunting...or do I just get handy with a militia rail tank?
Seriously, thanks for putting up your tactics on tank hunting. I actually do think AV and vehicles are both workable...the tank vehicle spam is pretty ridiculous. I've stopped playing ambushes because of it. |
