tank is a tank, it builded to distroy troops, not shot a fight
like this 'in real like a helicopter can distroy a tank with one single missile but tank have never shot down a helicopter'

Think about this one...

1. LOOK AT THIS PICTURE The purple is where an ADS can be where a tank can't shoot it. It's actually more than the picture shows, because the ADS can also be above and behind the tank.

2. ADS pilots complain that they can't engage a tank that's in the red line. Which is isn't true, as missiles travel 200m. Now before you complain that its almost impossible to hit anything at 200m, how about you just HTFU and git gud, okay?

3. Ambush doesn't have a redline.

4. When a tank is sitting in the redline, an ADS can't hover over the tank long enough to kill it. But when a tank is out of the redline, a tank can't get reach an ADS because the ADS has free space. An ADS can float 1m above a tank and the tank can't do anything about it.

So, ADSes complaining they can't engage tanks in the redline have it turned completely in their favor when the tank is out of the redline. Thus balance. And before any ADS pilots come in here and complain about something they are delusional about, remember a few things: a) you didn't read and think about the very post you're at the end of. b) You don't tank, so don't assume that ADSes can be shot down as easy as we make it look c) Go back and look at that picture, and tell me how it's fair that you have that much safe zone (and more) and think that's balanced when the only AV in the game that's practical for an ADS is Railgun. d) you're just as, if not more, OP than tanks. ADS spam is much worse than tank spam. Thank god we don't have Militia ADSes.

The problem wasn't range, it was elevation. If they had kept the range and lowered elevation, then things would have been more balanced.

Also, try seeing anything higher than 100m in an ADS, let alone hitting it.

where do you get your source saying that a tank has never shot down a chopper

Try seeing anything and hitting anything at 100m with a rail gun, especially if its moving. You're missiles have splash, if we miss you in the air, the shot keeps going and you take 0 damage.

hah! dirty grass, or as we say in my culture, dog.

ADS players are the worst players in dust 514
they cry over everything that can hurt them .
where there's a counter for ADS you see them no stop cry on and on over it !
if the game was there way it would be world of drop ships or go home .

i think the best way to fix this mess is to let rail guns hit up to 450 or 500 and remove the stacking skill of fire rate and ammo on ADS.

what mess? seriously rail tanks pwn ADS, you just can't do it from the redline (on most maps) anymore.

And I seriously doubt that furry, I've said nothing that is worthy of a ban, not compared to your comments on a certain subject in the locker room, got a new word for ya bub, hypocrite I'll be surprised if you don't need to look that one up.

So completly screw over ADS pilots, got it.
I guess we should also lower the flight ceiling to 20m

I noticed your diagram provides no indication of how small a portion of that "huge safe zone" is actually within the range of the weapons it carries.

Yes, there's a massive space where the ADS can be safe, but there's ALSO an almost-as-massive space where the HAV is just as safe from the ADS.

I love how you say Pilots just whine about everything when cry baby tankers crying about how OP AV was, made AV as crappy as it is right now all because tankers complain how 1 person should not be able to take out a tank. Makes sense.....

The math in your picture is wrong for a 300 unit hypotenuse, This does not validate or invalidate any of your points but is something you may wish to address as it has distorted your diagram throwing the scale off. The result is your area of engagement cross section is not scaled correctly. This means that the purple area as you display is wrong by a quite significant percentage and the above quote is erroneous.

You engagement cross section is about 36% too Small. This is a significant error.

I'm not disputing or agreeing with the points in your OP, just the diagram as it is presented.

your forgetting a ADS can fly in to them and still kill more so with gunners that can get up to 100% fire rate !

Also, FGs are not a counter to ADSes, as they are 100% situational and still take 2 or more to bring down an ADS before it can just fly away.

And ADS pilots have the option to bail on their dead ship when their HP reaches 0, or even make it to their destination via crash landing. How lucky is that?
