The mass driver should have full damage efficacy against vehicles. The weapon is very underused right now, and increasing its effectiveness on vehicles would really expand its niche; would make it more useful, and more used. Furthermore it is classified as a launcher along with the plasma cannon and the swarm launcher according to CCP, so it would make sense.
EDIT: Flaylock should also do full damage.

I would also like to see the HMG do more damage against vehicles; not full damage, but a percentage comparable to a small vehicle turret. 35% against shields, 50% against armor: basically 40% efficacy with the shield/armor efficacy of projectiles applied. The forge gun is anti-vehicle, yet effective against infantry, so I think the HMG being moderately effective against vehicles would be fair; the low range and the fact that it only has half the efficacy also balances it as an AV option.

We need more variety of AV options anyway

EDIT:
Tested the HMG against vehicles
LAV: 38% on shields, 44% on armor
Dropship: 38% on shields, 44% on armor
HAV: 9% against shields, 11% on armor

I don't see why HAVs get extra resistance against HMGs, they don't need it. Just make the HMG efficacy on tanks same as other vehicles.

Why? You are firing small calibre bullets at 120mm of armour plating or massive kinetic shield....

Because its a heavy weapon on par with small vehicle turrets. The individual shots themselves may not do much, but collectively they should have a noticeable effect when shooting at 15000 rounds per minute.
I'm not asking for full damage, just the same damage it already does to dropships and LAVs. The fact that the HAVs have tougher defenses is already factored in the HP, extra resistances aren't required.

You have no idea how Minmatar small turrets are going to work..... you cannot justify firing small calibre weaponry at heavy armour and simply saying that it........ works...... that doesn't make sense...... I agree that I don't think HAV should have better
resistances to light weapons....that also doesnt make sense given we already have higher armour and shield values.

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 1236	Posted - 2014.02.17 01:17:00 - [36] - Quote Would be cool if the flaylock was a sidearm option for AV aswell... Having a Flaylock that does 50% less damage to infantry but 200% to Vehicles would be neat.. There is a travel distance to rounds so it would be used as a defensive means that a tank could counter with situational awareness and approach. But a general 50% damage increase would be agreeable even.

Thrillhouse Van Houten DIOS EX. General Tso's Alliance 83	Posted - 2014.02.17 07:33:00 - [38] - Quote Laser rifles should at least eat vehicle shields. It might bring them back into vogue, too, as capable AI (at the right ranges) and mentionable AV. +1 on the MDs for sure. +1 on the HMG, too, but a little more leery. Blaster tanks are almost fearless in tight quarters maps (especially if you can't get a FGer up on something with a DS). Tanks used to fear the tighter spaces and they bloody should. HMGs doing at least some more damage, if not the same as to other vehicles, is pretty justifiable. Maybe with the conciliation of SLIGHTLY less damage to infantry (they **** everything that isn't at RR/ScR range).

Mahal Daj Mahal Tactical Enterprises 21	Posted - 2014.02.23 15:58:00 - [41] - Quote I agree in general with the manipulation of damage resists against vehicles. It would be great if a 6-squad could at least cause concern to MLT tanks with anti-infantry weapons, while the quality (resists) of basic+ gear wouldn't suffer from the same issue and require more dedicated AV. I think this would alleviate some MLT tank spam and give infantry a "chasing off the T-Rex" experience that would be very rewarding for Anti-Infantry specialists.

Beeeees KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 374	Posted - 2014.02.23 16:34:00 - [42] - Quote I agree, changing the MD would give medium and light infantry some more room concerning multi-purpose weaponry. So far mediums have no options for that save for the PC, which is only good for trickshots if you ask me. The HMG dealing more damage to tanks seems fitting, too. Considering its effective range, there is really not a single reason not to.

I was not making a specific comparison between Minmatar turrets and the HMG, but a general comparison of heavy weapons and small turrets. Consider that a small blaster is actually pretty much a light weapon attached to a tank, they are basically ARs, while the HMG outputs far more damage per second. It doesn't make sense why a small blaster would really be more damaging to a tank than an HMG. Gû¦Gû+Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+
