"If there were 6 of him"... Made me laugh way too much.
But seriously, shield vehicles... They are the easiest to take out, flux grenades make them useless... The only arguement can be against Pythons and they're not only squishy as hell, but also need to be close enough to see you when you're not being scanned, which with the new scanner changes will mean almost never being able to see you form a distance!
It's the armour vehicles you have to worry about, armour rep, still a 0 skill, sit and take the damage while you exterminate everything strategy. |

While I personally hate fully passive armor reps and think we need to go back to activated repairs, at least AV weapons do damage to armor. You couldn't even break passive regen on a Python with bugged swarms before, now?

Large Blasters are still a threat to tanks and LAVs though are generally a non factor to dropships unless they're being stupid or are caught by surprise.
By other things I can only assume you mean Railguns and random **** that kills dropships like RDVs and null cannon missiles, which I omit from this because they aren't actual player wielded AV (though the case could be made for RDVs)
Shield vehicles, Pythons in particular, are buffed by 1.8 AV changes.

Swarms are currently a novelty, not a form of AV... That will remain until CCP finds a way to balance damage with never missing the target... Personally I'd suggest making the lock on only effect a small directional change rather than auto homing in on things, this way people will have to aim at least a little bit and the damage/range could be increased.
As far as forge guns go, damage mods are not even needed, so the nerf doesn't make a damn bit of difference to people who didn't need them. Also once again I'll say Flux grenades destroy shields easily. |

Assuming you're telling the truth then he was badly fit, sitting still, or you're just such a baller you hit his weak spot twice in a row as he was flying by.
It doesn't somehow change the fact that AV is being nerfed against shields. I provide numbers, you provide conjecture.

One time Spark messaged me to gloat about how he and his buddies had tank spammed and stomped my team of randoms. I told him I didn't even notice he was there, and he proceeded to rage further. He also starts petty fights in local with noobs and doesn't even explain himself politely, just random rage that a new player could not even begin to understand.

Honestly the only tankers you'll get with this are noob sica's .. you'll never take a Gunnloggi out with SP invested into it
Okay so use brain before attacking and adjust strategy... First up, shield hardener isn't on all the time (even if they have 2) make them waste it or get as many hits as you can before they can raise it...
If tank is still, easy throw 2 grenades (they make no noise and are hard to spot) as soon as you throw the second, get that forge charging, by the time the tank knows what's going on he's taken 2 fluxes and a forge blast, now he's gonna run, know the most likely route and get those 1-3 hits.
If tank is moving, you can either time the 1 grenade and then start firing or you can try to lodge a pair of grenades on the front of the tank (It can be done.)
You may not kill the tank if they don't get stuck or do something stupid, but if the tank does everything right then why should it be destroyed just because I pointed a gun at it?
No Flux is not AV... It's anti-shield, which is what this thread is about.
Also on a side note, if you're losing damage due to the damage mod nerf, it isn't the weapon that's losing damage, it's your 0 skill solution getting balanced... Next up large turrets and vehicle modules (hopefully.) |

But seriously, shield vehicles... They are the easiest to take out, flux grenades make them useless... The only arguement can be against Pythons and they're not only squishy as hell, but also need to be close enough to see you when you're not being scanned, which with the new scanner changes will mean almost never being able to see you form a distance!
It's the armour vehicles you have to worry about, armour rep, still a 0 skill, sit and take the damage while you exterminate everything strategy. Fluxs aren't AV They don't explode on contact and even if you hit with the first you need to wait for another 5 seconds for the 2nd to hit so basically you need to be within 10m of a shield Tank and hope he doesn't move at all .. even after losing half his shields ... and you need him to be unharderned and to not use a shield booster ... Honestly the only tankers you'll get with this are noob sica's .. you'll never take a Gunnloggi out with SP invested into it Okay so use brain before attacking and adjust strategy... First up, shield hardener isn't on all the time (even if they have 2) make them waste it or get as many hits as you can before they can raise it... If tank is still, easy throw 2 grenades (they make no noise and are hard to spot) as soon as you throw the second, get that forge charging, by the time the tank knows what's going on he's taken 2 fluxes and a forge blast, now he's gonna run, know the most likely route and get those 1-3 hits. If tank is moving, you can either time the 1 grenade and then start firing or you can try to lodge a pair of grenades on the front of the tank (It can be done.) You may not kill the tank if they don't get stuck or do something stupid, but if the tank does everything right then why should it be destroyed just because I pointed a gun at it? No Flux is not AV... It's anti-shield, which is what this thread is about. Also on a side note, if you're losing damage due to the damage mod nerf, it isn't the weapon that's losing damage, it's your 0 skill solution getting balanced... Next up large turrets and vehicle modules (hopefully.)
RE Scout .. I've lost track of the amount of tankers i've killed with REs and AV grenades
Why waste my time with AV Forges n swarms |

That's how most people try to solo a tank. That's how most people try to destroy a tank, period, with the Starter Fit, nevermind an ISK suit with at least Darkside CBR7s.
Then you add trying to solo a tank, when the tanker knows where they are, with modules ready, and cover available, with a preferred angle of fire, and almost a year of experience to back them up.
It's no wonder so many still cry about tanks.
I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

You do realize that shield hardeners resist 60% of damaged received? So there's no way you 3 shotted him through 2 hardeners, let alone one; unless of course your last shot caused him to ping pong on the environment. Also earlier you said you 2 shotted him, just pointing out that you need to keep your story straight if you're going to lie.

It's the armour vehicles you have to worry about, armour rep, still a 0 skill, sit and take the damage while you exterminate everything strategy. All AV is losing 15% damage to shields from proficiency, and 5-10% damage from damage mods, regardless of fit. While I personally hate fully passive armor reps and think we need to go back to activated repairs, at least AV weapons do damage to armor. You couldn't even break passive regen on a Python with bugged swarms before, now? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH actually no not all AV is as the plasma cannon is getting a boost to shields and from what I have seen a plasma cannon does good dmg to a shield tank especially when his hardner is off just think how it will be in 1.8 when it gets a boost to shield dmg and those who can aim and fights tanks with a plasma cannon will have fun in 1.8 |

Thank you, I've been looking for the footage of a Swarm squad all day.
You put my mind at ease good sir.
In all seriousness I really hope they plan to release anti shield AV with the fanfest build

Pretty accurate in the number of wasted clones AND relative damage to the target. 10/10, Would Logi.

Put some REs on that guys forehead. Then sprint with forehead into HAV.
Best AV.
Even better if you have a BPO LAV to put REs on.

Erm, I see you infantry guys throwing flux grenades at me all the time. You barely scratch the "paintwork" on my shields when I have my hardenerss up (and I can perma-harden). |
