If you'll remember this is one of the few things that CCP Rouge commented on shortly after his introduction. I'll try to dig up the post. If I remember was essentially an acknowledgement that the combat potential of vehicles wass greatly increased in relation to the infantry ability to counter and he liked the idea of rewarding you for keeping vehicles at bay but not necessarily being able to kill them.
Yeah, most of the AV experience in 1.7 is an issue because it feels unrewarding.
Damage WP will greatly help with that.
Now they just need to do something about the militia swarmer blueprint. It's the most misleading fit for new players.
Replace that thing with a heavy with an FG. Those can actually get through tanks, even at militia level, in contrast to swarmers. Militia swarmers literally do no damage against vehicles. For some racial flavor, you could give Minmatar an RE speed build instead.
Seriously, try it. The tank can just stand there and take an endless amount of hits. |

Damage mods from 10 % to 5 % Forge gun and Swarm launcher proficiency going from flat 3% damage per level to 3% to armor per level. AV grenades going from 3 to 2 These do not amount to even a minor buff, let alone a MASSIVE buff. Giving WP for nerfed weapons a buff does not make
Two things:
Cloaked scouts with REs.
Minmatar Commandos with PLC + Swarmer + RE/Cloak/Nanohive (Whatever suits you best) + Damage mod.
You get:
- Instant stripping of shields with PLC, with increased re-fire rate due to Commando reload bonus
- 10% + 5% damage bonus to swarmer (Damage mod + Commando bonus to explosives) for destroying the armor
- Either add melee REs for kill potential or Cloak to stay hidden
So yes, there's a buff. But only in two specific loadouts. |

Probably there's no way the cloak will fit in a Commando suit.

See for yourself. It's even got two complex damage mods.
A Commando doesn't need a proto cloak.
With some tinkering, you might even squeeze a useful module into one of the two low slots. |

The assault rifle is actually the plasma rifle.
You are a player who doesn't have encyclopedic knowledge of the lore. CCP doesn't like people like you.
Damage types:
Plasma Rifle - Hybrid Blaster
Rail Rifle - Hybrid Railgun
Scrambler Rifle - Laser
Combat Rifle - Projectile |
