However the forge needs its charge times reduced to 1.6 levels.
Swarms were always for scrubs, so they can stay that way.
So since AV does what it was designed to do, maybe most of you infantry need to learn your role properly.
Sure lets limit the teams to one tank, but then remove swarms and the PLC and limit teams to one heavy at a time to counter the single tank.
Then why in most games do tankers not get killed repeatedly? Both AV is drawing from the same pool of players, one is not more intelligent or competent than the other, yet I do not see tanks getting soloed by anything other than tanks and I see tanks, especially a pair or more, dominating match after match. It is illogical to think this is because tankers are smart and AV'ers are stupid and incompetent, especially when in 1.6 the arguments went the other way. |

My opinion though is that there is not a massive imbalance, mostly it is just little incentive to pursue AV, I get 100 points for hacking an unmanned objective but only get 150 for capping a tank and since it usually takes more than one, I probably won't even get that. Once damage dealt is rewarded then I think we are going to see tanks taken out much more and the balance will have to be looked at again. Proximities and swarms need some changes, but I'm ok with the rest. Railgun balance against other vehicles seems to be a problem, but I don't have an informed opinion about it. |

Ironically, I've yet to see him call for nerfs to the Nova Knives and Shotgun, as apparently only heavies should be killing theoretical "heavies"  You simpleton, don't misrepresent my opinions. I believe that the heavy suit should be the PRIMARY AV suit. That does not mean that medium frame AV options should not exist, but that they should be supplemental to the heavy suit. Stop crying because you can't AV. Why should the heavy be the primary av suit? Why should i have to skill into different suit and different weapon to be allowed to kill a tank? I've been using the swarm launcher since i had enough sp to get it. It was one of the first things i went into cos tanks were a problem back then. I dont see why i have to change my playstyle because a load of bad tankers cant run from swarms.
I find it really funny how tankers now use the "adapt or die" and "get gud" argument but then point out that in 1.6 killing tanks was too easy, it wasn't a case of them needing to adapt or get good. Of course, I am sure that they are repeating the arguments they heard from AVer's, that was before my time on the forums. |
