The only problem I have with the poll options are that you treat AV as a single thing. It isn't.

The PLC needs a huge set of buffs. The forge needs a slight buff. Swarms can die in a fire. AV nades are good.

Tanks need changes to, both for balance between AV and between themselves.

SO none of the poll options really work for me.

and if this was an in depth poll then i would agree but this is a general overview of the feeling of av/tank balance.

if your a tank driver and any element of av is too powerfull against you for whatever reason then that is the typ of answer im looking for. same goes for av.

like i said in another reply the poll would have to be a thousand options long to take into account everything. as this is just a general poll of your overall view it is not required.

if you think through all av that its balanced then thats balanced in your opinion. if you feel that 1 element of av is wrong and tips the balance then thats the answer you select.

You have no business conducting a poll at present.
Read a book, maybe two, then try again.

ADAM-OF-EVE Dead Man's Game 730	Posted - 2014.01.04 02:01:00 - [8] - Quote 121 views and hardly any votes. come on guys. its not like i'm suggesting an idea or asking for comments. you hear it all the time on comms people with their own opinion on weather their weapon is too powerful or too weak. nows your time to say so, so we can get a bigger picture overall of how people feel about it because every other post on the thought has turned into massive arguments. you can't argue with a single tick this is about your own view without ideas,suggestions and most importantly without argument. so go to the poll links and place your vote. you either feel your own side is too weak or too powerful or just right. im not looking for anything more than that https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

ADAM-OF-EVE Dead Man's Game 737	Posted - 2014.01.04 15:55:00 - [10] - Quote seems 99.99% of the people on these forums complaining about tanks and av really don't really have an opinion at all on the matter. 180 views to this poll and only 20-30 have voiced their opinions. you can spend hours trolling the forums and being trolled everyday and then can't spend 5 secs to make an actual valid opinion on how your personally feel on a matter. what sort of community is this. we all enjoy our messing around on the forums but lets just voice an actual honest opinion for once. i don't want likes or suggestions or arguments. i just want you all to be people for once playing a game they like or don't for whatever reasons, voicing your own general opinion on something that is currently a heated topic. at the end of the day we all want a good game so why are we always arguing or being content to ignore the issues and hope they go away. the point of this poll is to see how everyone generally feels about it from their point of view and not from the consensus of a few on heavily argumented threads. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

Also, your questions are poorly phrased; you run high risk of confusing most tankers and some infantry. I point this out because wording means everything in a poll; a question in a poll should have as few variables as possible. Also, too weak / too strong is fine, but I would propose posting a separate poll on profitability. These considerations are not closely enough related to be grouped together, IMHO. nice attempt to troll me into an argument. your option is in there, you are just being too picky with your option. you balance things against each other. that pointless option you suggested has nothing to balance against so they cant both be wrong https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

AV nades are balanced vs Dropships assuming they float close enough to you Tank AV of all types is balanced vs dropships, the only railguns are too strong vs dropships is because of the redline. Large missiles might apply their damage just a tad too quickly, but that's a general balance issue. perfect example here of what im getting at. you have a personal in depth view on everything av/dropship balance releated to you specificly. you see some as strong and some as weak. as an av player you might think my av is too weak against my opponent. for a vehicle user you might feel av is too weak against your tank. although the opinions are technically the same they are different as they are percieved differently from different view points. for the above its apears from how you wrote this your AV. you feel an element of av is too weak so youropinion would likely be "im av but av is weak against dropships". this would be a general "role" specific opinion of the balance and not an item specific opinion. all im trying to do here is see how people view the balance https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find
