2) Just imagine how p*ssed all those people will be when AV becomes viable again, it'll be hilarious, the forums will be a flood with tears and cries for respecs. You were using a rail tank. Should be reasonable for AV to kill you a lot easier than a blaster tank since blasters are anti-infantry
Hard to say actually. Rail Gun Tanks generally don't sit and brawl with Infantry like Blaster Tanks do. Sitting there and brawling gives the enemy the opportunity to all swap over to them nice Forge Guns and start shooting you to oblivion. Since Rail Guns are generally not as good at killing Infantry, they are likely to do what I like to call teabag and just sit there in surrounded by 'water.'
AV is really interesting at this point. Swarms are pretty lame. Because they do decent damage over multiple missiles, it is actually possible for a Swarm Launcher to be unable to stop a shield from regenerating. I have witnessed this with my Madrugar against an enemy with a Swarm Launcher, probably Militia. Missiles hit one by one and my shield has already regenerated 70% of the damage before the next salvo is launched. That is a problem.
* AV grenades are pretty scary when it is several people throwing them at the same time. Say everyone respawns in an area with AV grenades, the damage can be very startling and can easily push a Tank away. Solo, they are generally not that dangerous. Considering they don't take up as essential of a slot as a Swarm or Forge Gun, I think they are more or less right.
* Forge Guns have been very devastating. The Assault Forge Gun hits like a truck quite quickly and is something that will either force me to leave a location or it will kill me. Ran into a Prototype Breach Forge gun a couple of times last night. That thing was particularly dangerous and did kill me as I was attempting to escape.
* Proximity and Remote Explosives are, along with Forge Gunners on a good elevated position, the scariest thing I see on the field that isn't another vehicle. Good use of these will kill a tank no problem but require a lot of planning or massive guts as you run up to the tank to put satchels on them. Strategy and planning instantly killed me? I say good job.
* I really have not seen the Plasma Cannon more than three or four times but maybe the fact it is so rare can attest to something. |
