Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1365	Posted - 2014.03.18 03:57:00 - [1] - Quote there can be 1-5 tanks on the field, and at most the infantry will bring out 1 maybe 2 AV fits in responce. but a single assault dropship will cause the enamy team to bring out multiple tanks, 1-3 forge guns and 2-5 swarms in responce? if you guys did that against the tank spam they wouldnt be able to walk all over you... and dont give me the "vulnerable to infantry" excuse because aparently your not vulnerable enough to stop you from dedicating half a team to kill off a single dropship.

I personaly will put way more effort into killing ADS because they annoy the **** out of me, tanks are easy to kill, i toss a few REs out and they are done.

KGB Sleep 875	Posted - 2014.03.18 05:07:00 - [15] - Quote ADS are a bigger threat than tanks imo. As to why everyone targets them I can only guess because they know that the DS will be in line of sight again soon. That and they are hilarious to hit. If a FG could send a tank skidding into a building I bet ppl would shoot a lot more tanks. Because beer, that's why.

Only difference between militia and proto mods is how long it takes to recharge. If CCP fixed that so the only hard to kill tanks were adv or proto modded than we would see tank spamming drop quite a bit.

But there is a lot of frustration to be had... Especially at the hands of the supersized 1.6 ARs that masquerade around as HAVs. Countering dropships approaches an area that may be called "fun." Compared to countering HAVs, there is the equivalent of zero frustration to be had. This is a game. I don't play to be frustrated. If I wanted frustration, I'd pay attention to politics or watch the news.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 2542	Posted - 2014.03.18 05:52:00 - [20] - Quote It's because a tank can take out 3 of those AV players before they are able to become a serious threat, and you only ever see 0-2 AV players remaining that can do something about the tank. Also, the more you kill with an ADS the more will switch to AV on their next spawn because they know they can easily take it out. Also, dropships are more annoying...like mass drivers. Tanks don't always make people switch to AV though. Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!

If killing HAVs were easy I wouldn't have skilled into AV. If it easy it would be boring. The superior man makes the difficulty to be overcome his first interest; success only comes later. Confucius A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Winston Churchill The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. Abraham Lincoln Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it. Niels Bohr Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character. Tony Robbins The difficulty we have in accepting responsibility for our behavior lies in the desire to avoid the pain of the consequences of that behavior. M. Scott Peck The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. Epictetus The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

As for why people pull out more AV for ADS then Tanks is because if we kill an ADS there is a 90% chance the pilot won't bring it out again; MLT Tanks however can be killed and pulled out almost endlessly and all the time your spending as AV to hold off 1-2 Tanks their 15 other players are killing, hacking, and winning the match.

From personal experience, one ADS on the field is far more trouble than one tank on the field. It can run away instantly, it can get uplinks to the most unreachable (and irritating) of places, it can do fly-by's and take out 3 guys in one sweep and be gone in under 2 seconds, and it's ability to fly around far above your head forces you to have to look away from your natural FoV to make sure it isn't targeting you. So one ADS is more irritating than one tank in most cases. And on the flip side, an ADS also flies around in the air which is one huge open shooting gallery on most maps, which makes AVing them seem easier than trying to chase down tanks on foot. MAG ~ Raven

Not what I said, so no, you don't "got it." Further, killing dropships is only "easy" if they suck, are unlucky, or you are using a rail tank. A better, more accurate word is in order. Given your two opition, I choose neither. Frankly, I quit the match when my choices are between being frustrated and being frustrated. The Robot Devil wrote: Wrong, the harder it is to do then then better it is when you do it. If killing HAVs were easy I wouldn't have skilled into AV. If it easy it would be boring. Random quotes Oh, looky. A bunch of quotes from random significant people from history... They sure showed me that I am wrong, despite me only conveying my frustration caused by the lacklustre quality of vehicle/AV balance (which is a well documented issue). If I wanted difficulty, I'd play Dark Souls or something. At least that game has top notch mechanics and the difficulty is NOT caused by underpowered/overpowed issues like DUST. Anyway, I recall making a post awhile back about the diminishing middle ground. This thread reminded me of it. Because apparently there is only "hard" and "easy," black and white. Meanwhile, I was thinking that there was a middle ground. Silly me.

Tanks included. Stupid tankers without teamwork aren't hard to kill if YOU use teamwork. I can tell the same story but the other way round where even multiple AV weren't able to stop HAV spam...
Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 765	Posted - 2014.03.18 09:23:00 - [42] - Quote I've wondered the same, my drop ship always brings AV out but my tanks never do. I'd guess because you can see the ADS from just about anywhere where as they'd have to chase down the tank. CCP you better nail 1.8, as it stands 1.7 is a total disaster.

Because a couple of swarm volleys can scare off a DS. Do that to a Soma & you'll be lucky if it gets down to armour. Do it to a Gunnlogi and you will literally not do any damage. and solo thats true.... but the amount of damage 3 swarmers puts out cannot be ignored... add in some forge action and BOOM. for some reason people seem SPAM av at a dropship, but arnt willing to do the same against tanks? methinks the only reason they try to spam is BECAUSE its easy, against anything that would require spam to kill nobody wants to even try. tanks were balanced around the spam potential and in repose everyone refused to spam AV against tanks. but they will still do it against dropships becuase they still percieve it as easy. basically if people put half as much effort into AVing tanks as they do dropships then tanks wouldnt be stomping around unmolested right now. No, three swarmers is when the tank drives around the corner and is fine. No.

As for why people pull out more AV for ADS then Tanks is because if we kill an ADS there is a 90% chance the pilot won't bring it out again; MLT Tanks however can be killed and pulled out almost endlessly and all the time your spending as AV to hold off 1-2 Tanks their 15 other players are killing, hacking, and winning the match. so the fun is in denying someone their favorite playstyle... you derive fun from denying someone else fun? Ghost, you and I are buddies, are we not? So I can say this: Denying someone else their favorite playstyle, in other words, what they're good at, is the whole point of tactics. As a dropship pilot, you know this, as you are forcing as many people to go AV as possible. Most would rather shoot infantry all day (I know I would) and yo deny them that luxury. Yes we are ,different corps but same game send an invite whenever 07 AMARR PROTO DONUT PROFICIENCY 5 I MAKE DUST VIDEOS CLICK HERE FOR DONUTS :)

I WAS talking to Ghosts Chance. We agree on quite a bit, and have played together (on a different character), so.... And ANNIHILATOR, yeah, we do need to sqd, we have yet to do so.

Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 999	Posted - 2014.03.18 22:53:00 - [49] - Quote I can't speak for everyone else but I am more likely to pull out the only AV I have against an ADS because I feel like I may actually drive it off. I know I'm not going to kill it but I can atleast annoy the guy. Against a tank I know he is just laughing at my vain attempt to deter him from raping me and my entire team. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
