Charlotte O'Dell Sooper Speshul Ponee Fors Dropsuit Samurai 2183	Posted - 2014.03.18 19:19:00 - [1] - Quote AV weapons may not kill tanks, but they sure can move them. If a few mines OHK a tanker who isn't paying attention, then he deserves to die no matter how many hardeners he is running. Also add Flux Mines for shield tanks.

If they drive over them carelessly they deserve to be blown up. I shall show you a world, a world which you cant imagine, a world full off butthurt n00bs at the other end of my gun
OliX PRZESMIEWCA Bezimienni... 56	Posted - 2014.03.18 19:33:00 - [4] - Quote Too much damage. You know that you can mix proximity with remotes so if proximity blow up it will trigger remotes. You can place those remotes wich You will not stick on JLAV Flux mine? You got flux granade. You can easly get +75 WP for throwing flux granade on tank. Shield or armor tank it doesn't matter. Shield one will be destroyed almost instantly, armor one most of the time start to drive away. One day I got 150wp only for throwing fluxes on 2 tanks with 14k dragonfly fit. Yes we f...... can !

However, they need to be scannable (or at least fix the scanning on them, as I scanned towards some one time, and didn't pick them up; I saw them, and was confused, as I didn't pcik them up on my scanner, and them fluxed them.)

DAMIOS82 ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 88	Posted - 2014.03.18 21:06:00 - [20] - Quote Perhaps a slight buff, but not that much damage. Normally when i hear the beebing sound of mines, i stop my hav to have a look around and it stops me dead in my tracks. So in my oppinion its a good tactic, especially in denying me access to surtain area's without taking risk. hell i even had berry's placing mines around me and allthough it doesn't save them, i does keep me in one spot. So yeah i like mine tactics. But not instakill mines. That's just laziness, atleast work for your isk by taking risks.

Prox are meant to be used against HAVs that have insane amounts of HP, yet they only like half damage of remotes. Dat sh!t aint logical! TOLD514

Nirwanda Vaughns Death Firm. 449	Posted - 2014.03.18 21:41:00 - [28] - Quote in all honesty the damage isn't really the issue. its the detection lag thats the main issue. if you get mines in the right place you can drop a tank very easily. the issue is that the detection and activation ranges could perhaps be based on vehicles scan profile? smaller faster vehicles can whizz through and are taken down by swarms wheres larger vehicles are detected easier and mines could work liek AV nades and have a certain seek range?

It's a trap it SHOULD kill you. You don't like dying to traps I don't like dying to OP as **** tanks. The 750 damage is an absolute joke. Mixing in remotes is not possible in pubs. Proxies are supposed to get a damage bonus to the bottom of the tank but do not. I say make them ignore hardeners (say the hardener doesn't cover the bottom of the vehicle). Then they are not OP but serve as a barrier to tanks and need help getting them destroyed. No more fearing nothing because I turned on hardeners.

Your spamming buff AV threads are getting old, While I agree AV needs tweaking the ideas you've thrown out about MAV's, AV flat damage buff and Proxy damage buffs are dumb ideas. There are more fun an interesting ways to create balance without using "buff / nerf culture" Atleast come up with some good ideas to buff them. Where are you even coming up with your numbers from? Maybe a damage increase for proxy mines would be appropriate but I doubt you can come up with a logical reason for the numbers you've provided. If you did, please share.

You also want them to be easily destroyed. So by being cheap and easily destroyed you nullify the risk vs reward which CCP is well known for. Throw away tanks aren't DUST, there battlefield 4.
Alaika Arbosa Matari Combat Research and Manufacture Inc. Interstellar Murder of Crows 1850	Posted - 2014.03.18 22:48:00 - [40] - Quote If not increase the damage, then make the undercarriage of all Vehicles have a 375% damage modifier. Changes that I view as being good as far as mines are concerned. 1) Increase damage, leave beep, add both Flux and Web mines 2) Leave damage as is, remove beep, add both Flux and Web mines TBH, I've been asking for Flux Prox for a long long time. I was in a match last night where several teammates were concentrating enough small arms and AP grenades that we made a blaster gunnlogi flee at top speed. He was deep in armor by the time he got away. FYI, this was approximately two squads spamming damage at him. Arzadu Akbar Motherfuckers!!!! Closed Beta Bittervet Bomber

Meant to be a booby trap basically. Yes that could cause just people spamming mines all over, but that could easily be fixed by a total mine limit allowed to be placed during a battle by a team, just like there's a team cap on vehicles in a match.

But also take 1 to kill a MLT tank... 2-3 to kill a good tanker... And limit players to carrying 2(@ proto) at a time replenishable by nanohives... Proxy's are balanced game play... They could potentially drop a tank and the tank could tactically watch their movements and what they run over and destroy them before running them over... They allow infantry to setup vehicle traps in well defended areas... Places where they can setup defenses so tanks can't roll in with impunity... And the tank can counter it by battlefield awareness... More emphasis on Proxy's being the main AV aspect of the game would drastically change vehicle tactics and infantry defense base tactics.

They're fricken MINES. Meant to be a booby trap basically. Yes that could cause just people spamming mines all over, but that could easily be fixed by a total mine limit allowed to be placed during a battle by a team, just like there's a team cap on vehicles in a match. Well you are only using explosives and I do have a hyper advanced state of the art tank with basic scanning potential..... but you make a fair point. See, I guess here's what I could see as sensible. Mines wouldn't even have to be "insta kill" for tanks even like the proto ones are right now. I'd be all for a damage reduction to them if they couldn't be detectible by vehicles. That way, tankers would have to rely on infantry members to check things like access points to complexes or cities. They could be an "indirect/passive deterrent". They could be an AV function that greatly weakens tanks, but still requires other AV to finish them off. Like they'll blow through a great deal of their shields and/or armor through the hardeners even, but still require guys with a forge gun or other AV to blow them up. They also need the "triggering" on them fixed, needs to be instant. I can't tell you how many matches I've been in where I've watched HAVs and LAVs constantly just roll right over the top of them without them going off. It's a trap! In this patch we can't repel firepower of that magnitude! - Admiral Ackbar would say in ambush w Nyain San

However if we cannot hear them with a proximity warning then they will have to be bigger in size. I mean when I tank honestly my greatest sense that I make use of is sound, which is really cool, stopping to sound out enemy tankers, proxies, determining what is firing at me,etc. " ..- -.- --.
