Now have 4 totally broken FOTM builds.
1. Heavy with proto RR - The only thing with a longer range is the SR, the only thing with slightly better CQC ability is the CR because lolAR, Mass drivers are **** again.
2. Logi brick tanked with damage mods stacked (I still despise the fact that Logi suits can even use damage mods, let alone stack them, and I'm a logi. Leave that **** to the assaults.) and either a RR, CR, or SCR (IMO the CR and SCR are fairly balanced (The CR needs a reduction to its effectiveness against armor. Currently al weapons are on a 200% scale. Ex. AR does 110% to shields, 90% to armor. SCR does 120% to shields, 80% to armor. CR being Minmatar is supposed to do almost equal to both, but it currently does 95% to shields like its supposed to, but a whopping 115% to armor. Thats a 210% scale. 10% higher than everything else. it should be 95% to shields, 105% to armor))
3. Tanks: I'm all for having tanks on the field, they change the dynamic of play and should force players to rethink their approach. They should also require some level of team work for infantry to overcome.
What we have right now due to the lackluster performance of the AV weaponry is its now requiring 4-5 infantry to take out a single MLT tank that costs less than some of my ADV suits, and any of my proto suits. Sure you can still pop them quite quickly if they are an inexperienced tanker, but it doesn't take that long to get used to tanking since they are so cheap and you can simply spawn another one and go again for another 15 kills. Gunlogi and Maddys SHOULD require 4-5 infantry to tackle (Currently, since they took away the adv/proto tanks, and the glass cannon tanks)
4. Scanners - Before we had scanners, we had team view. There was no real point to stealth/speed tank because if one person had LOS on you, you could be seen by everyone. Now we have scanners that you can do a full 360 scan (I'm guilty of this as well, because with everyone able to see you, there are some things that you just have to do) with in 2 sec, wait 16 sec for the mini map dots to disappear, repeat every 20-30 sec. Its scanner assisted team view. The element of surprise is basically gone unless you are running a dampened scout (You guys still scare the **** out of me)
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?
THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!
