So you only every play with Spkr? You never play with anyone else? There are no new players who you might want to help out or teach the ropes to?
What infantry can claim to have 6000+ EHP with hardeners that practically make them immune to nearly all incoming damage?
Comparing Infantry running solo to HAVs running solo is like kittens to adult male tigers, it is a ridiculous comparison that has absolutely no merit since, 1:1 the potential of the HAV >>>>>>> the potential of Infantry. If your HAV only had the same fitting stats and EHP as a dropsuit; or the Infantry had the same fitting stats and EHP as an HAV, then it would be a reasonable comparison.
The two do not equate in the slightest, not from a perspective of cost or stats.
So the only reason you'd deny this as a balancing factor is that you like driving and gunning and don't want to have to choose one or the other?
I never said that it should require 2+ 30m+ SP players work, just that it should take more than 1 player to be truly living up to its full potential. You assumed that I meant it should take both you and Spkr, I only said Spkr since I know that if both of you are on Dust, you're both in the same squad.
While I will not deny that there is a large portion of stupid infantry in Dust, I can't believe that you are so blind to the disparity between Vehicles (specifically HAVs) and Infantry. Seriously, I find that to be mindboggling to such an extent that you must either be trolling or that you view Dust as WoT with infantry ants for you to squish.
Personally, as far as AV is concerned, I feel that had vehicles been buffed to where they are now and AV left untouched, we would not have this disparity we currently have.
Believe it or not, I do want HAVs to be a factor in Dust, though not to the extent that, were it not for Objectives that required infantry to be hacked, Infantry would be an nonfactor.
English, are you purposely being obtuse about this? I mean, how can you think that there isn't anything wrong with the current state of Vehicles in Dust? I remember playing MAG with you and utilizing APCs as a part of the whole, not as the whole itself. We used teamwork with vehicles to compliment both styles of play, yeah we bitched when some stupid bluedot got in the Turret and gave away our position but the point is that we didn't solely rely on vehicles to the exclusion of infantry gameplay.
Do you really care so little about this game that you'd rather the vehicle playstyle either becomes the only reasonable choice or the playerbase burns out on vehicle spam and moves on to other greener infantry pastures (thus killing the game)?
Either way, if that is really how little you care about any playstyle other than the Vehicle playstyle why are you even here? AFAIK, there is better vehicle gameplay
here,
here or (coming soon)
here. Any of which are also free and would give you the OMA vehicle FFA gameplay that you so obviously desire.
