Seriously though, part of the problem is that the most popular Infantry AV weapon is way underpowered right now. A small buff to the Swarm Launcher would go a long way to balancing Vehicles and keep Infantry from feeling so helpless.

Buff missile damage by 30 = 250 damage per missile (down from 330 in 1.6)
Buff range by 25m = 200m range (down from 400 in 1.6)

These small buffs would get the Swarm Launcher a lot closer to being balanced. After seeing how that plays out we can determine if they need to be buffed any further.

No, my problem isn't that at all. My problem is that as a Tanker, I know how to play ambush with a crew of tankers so that you and your AV don't stand a chance. It won't be fixed by buffing AV unless it's to a point where it's OP as **** and fucks over every other gamemode. 6 tanks, sure I can take them on, 1v1 I'd kill them, problem is they will keep swapping out, they'll put their actives on, and then the first 3 will disappear, then the other 3 will come along with their actives up and will **** you some more, and then they'll go off and then next three will be back.

And it's not like you can go get a tank of your own either, because there's no where to run, you are ****** until the game is over and if you leave and try to find a new match? Congratulations, you're back in the same ambush as before.

If AV is balanced correctly it might take 3 AV to kill 1 tank, but it will only take 6 AV to kill 6 tanks due to focus fire.

I like playing Infantry from time to time, I spawn in, select my fit and then I hear it, the RDVs bring forth hulking beasts of destruction. so I can't play as Infantry because the team will get stomped without me. Call in a rail, wait, destroy multiple tanks, recall. More RDVs, more tanks, call in wait, destroy another few tanks. Game ends and I haven't shot a single round from my rifle. It's getting a little ridiculous, Ambush isn't the place for tanks, I asked CCP Saberwing about removing them but he said he did not know for sure if anything would come from it, they'd rather look at balancing tanks instead. A foolish idea and an impossible thing to balance when you have a small map and a single rail can see everything. You cannot balance Ambush with Vehicles in it, it's all mostly open areas that tanks and Dropships can dominate in and once the team has its vehicles out there is no way to really stop them unless you focus multiple AV on them, and due to the fact it's such close proximity, you're going to get mowed down fast. I can hold my own in an Ambush, but it's not fun for either side, and if there aren't players like me on the team that isn't tank spamming, it's gonna be a whole two minutes of getting smashed.

Tanks work in all other game modes because there is cover for infantry to hide behind and engage with a dance of death. Even Scouts can go toe-to-toe with tanks by weaving in and out of obstacles to pester or destroy them. So in short. 2 way exchanges are good. 1 way exchanges are bad.

While keeping the other game modes people could still call in vehicles and infantry can try to fight the vehicles. From a blueberry to a warrior, that's what everyone will be with enough training.

Only reason I'm against that would be who would play that other ambush? Would it still have a vehicle limit? What would the other players do if the limit was reached? I know what you're getting at and it's an idea I thought about a long time ago but in the end I realized it was pointless to mess with. Just allow them or don't, no need to split the matches.

In a 1v1 situation, I can kill the enemy tank just fine with a Forge or Swarms, however in the situation of 6 tanks on such a tiny map, coordinating is near impossible due to the fact you spawn and you die immediately. I shouldn't be able to roflstomp 6 tanks, that's a fact. Remove the Vehicles from what is pretty much a small TDM arena and just allow Infantry there.

Disagree, like I said above, I can 1v1 tanks fine out of my tank, even 1v2ing tanks depending on their weapon and skill, but put 6 in a tiny map and you've got a serious problem, I just have to sit there watching the map until the game ends or the tankers were slow enough and I get kicked. Six tanks being possible on any map is a balance problem. Tanks being not AV-able by infantry is a problem. Tanks being nothing but solo gankmobiles is a problem. Vehicles in ambush, specifically, is not really a huge problem. I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

CLONE117 planetary retaliation organisation 556	Posted - 2014.01.07 16:06:00 - [20] - Quote the problem we used to have and still have with ambush. proto stomping... the new problem we have in which the old problem is afraid of... tank spamming... and my glass cannon is not op... even 3 std av nades can kill it because it has no tank abillity what so ever. it just has enough damage mods to take down a fully hardened gunlogi and maddrugar. although im forced to try and sneak around with it.... tank vs tank is more balanced even though std tanks have a massive 25% more slots and more pg/cpu than mlt tanks. so they have the a bigger advantage. i just dont get why ppl r crying over mlt tanks? u think those things r the problem? they r the weakest out there right now and majority of the ppl who pilot them suck at driving. av could use a little buffing in possibly swarm damage but that would be it. or we could kill the chicken moves some of these tanks pull.. they run away the sec hardeners start to go down. bring them down to 20% or have them slow the tanks down or immobilize them.

If that's your opinion of balance, then AV needs more nerfing, takes two AVers to focus fire and kill a single tank with ease. I don't believe there is a problem with AV vs Tanks, little tweaks can be made, my problem is Ambush, where you cannot coordinate because the moment you spawn you get **** by six tanks.

It takes one person to not be a moron to kill a single tank, it takes more effort to kill six tanks, Ambush doesn't let you do that because of it being such a tiny map, with no place to go, no place to group up and attack the tanks, you're just lambs for the slaughter.

Hardeners are ridiculous, but I don't want them nerfed, rather than have it required to have two to survive, make it so one is needed and the only one you can have so you can fit other things and continue making it interesting. We do have way too much ammo for the blaster, Missiles and Rails not so much. And the Recall along with swapping at a supply depot should require you out of combat (not being hit nor firing for let's say, 10 seconds.), You don't even play ***** Ambush -¼_-¼ I do, I try to play Infantry for a bit and am greeted by a 6 man tank squad, it's dumb. It's just boring now, If by some miracle you manage to take down the 6, they will spawn in more to take its place. In Skirmish and Domi, we're a lot more balanced, Tankers can call AT in the red line safely, and AVers can group together and have multiple spawns, whereas ambush, unless your team calls the 6 tanks in first, you're dead.

You spawn and theres 6 duna tanks on top of you, pow, you are dead, you spawn again in their firing range (due to again poor spawning mechanics) and pow you are dead again, and it doesnt matter if you come back in a organized av squad, once you spawn in that expensive ishukone proto heavy suit you are taken out again.
