The point of infantry av, when working solo, is to damage the vehicle enough to force it to retreat so infantry can continue on their way. When you have teamwork you take down vehicles quickly. This can be a combination of swarms forges plasma cannons or other vehicles. Put some av in a lav with a rail gun and you have a good vehicle hunter team.

3 AV players in a LAV chasing tanks amounts to nothing mor than 190wp for the first railtank that sees you.

That is why you use three vehicles instead of one. A rail tank can only shoot one target at a time. Too bad everyone cried about LLAV's we all miss them now.

So if one get's through, the tank still gets 180wp, then the one AV guy who gets there can try to solo the tank and either die to infantry in the attempt or net the tank an additional 90wp, bringing his total to 270wp. Also giving the tank 3 RDV's to shoot at, worth 150 a piece.

Great idea, but I think I'll pass.

The point is to apply pressure to tankers. Not just let them steamroll you. I see you chose the worse case scenario, no confidence? Going forward you will also get war points for damage. Getting your squad closer to an orbital, and inflicting damage to ensure the orbital is successful.

They way I see it you can fight back or come the forums and whine.

I only used Mlt Swarms so i wasn't expecting much, but seeing that Dropship take missiles until i had 0/0 without so much as losing 1/5 of it's shield... Man, that was an eye opener. Before, i used to think that HAV/DS were annoying, but not brokenly so. My apologies AV guys. You can watch them regenerating faster than you can shoot them with MLT swarms. Theoretically with the damage points in 1.8 you can farm points by just shooting one tank the entire match, you'll never even get him into armor. Because, that's why.

Make that two Forge Gunners and they'll be able to take on almost any tank together. Four Forge Gunners will annihilate the enemy's vehicles altogether. Yet I see game after game after game dominated by tanks, why is that? I mean I personally may just suck at forge gunning but what is it about AV that makes nearly everyone who plays it incompetent and stupid and everyone who tanks so much more intelligent and skilled? Because, that's why.
