I don't believe tanks are op anymore, now, it's just the blaster turrets efficiency against infantry.

I'd argue that it's the blaster turret's AV efficiency that's the problem.

You just can't have a weapon that's both effective at AI and AV. Since missiles already have the CQC AV role, blasters should be solely purposed for AI.

Also don't forget the OP railgun.

Haha, feckin class one with the paints and pie. It turns statistics into alot more fun to both learn and use

Yeh, I'm totally in agreement that there is something wrong if balance changes are being made to players gear first, rather than the mechanic that they are abusing. Push that redline well back with new ground/MCC spawns. I really dig the combined arms warfare aspect of the game, but they really need to implement vehicles better.

the hardener nerf was something im not a huge fan of but i guess thats one of removing the ability to tank through an orbital and just about everything else. though the main issue that should have been addressed was hardener cycling. remove the ability to cycle hardeners. by making one hardener activate the rest of the same type would have been better over all. and to add some extra in there have hardeners slow the vehicle down whilst active..

but with the nerf to hardener mods in any case. means we may need to scale down the damage mods to an equivalent level. preferably from 30% to 20%.

so that nerf wont actually gimp glass cannons in general. but it will make it easier for hardeners to defend against by a relatively small amount.

blaster is relatively the weakest av turret. since its rapid fire and relatively decent clip size make it viable for suppressing ground troops. but not down right slaughtering them.

in my own honest opinion. id rather by infantry going up against "tank spammers" over a proto stomper scrub team.

the reasons. u get now where with a full team of proto stompers. but at least u arent 100% knocked out of the fight with several tanks rolling about as they arent impossible to avoid. and easier to counter also.

(proto scrubs. yes it does take a freaking tank to kill them head on. im kinda tired of the fact that ppl are saying that u can kill proto ppl by shooting them from behind. sure its possible to kill them that way but since most of them roam in large groups its next to impossible as well. game will never be balanced until we tone down those gaps to where higher tiers will no longer have a massive advantage over lower tiers in nearly every aspect. thats whats ruining this game in the 1st place. in fact im sure it would add some diversity to gameplay if such a thing was added. as then we may no longer by seeing entire teams using the same suit/proto weapon every match.) as of right now the only part of the game thats balanced is the area when all the mlt new berries are fighting eachother.

1: missiles and rails are OP

2: missiles aren't for CQ; they're for medium-long range. right now they're more like rockets or torpedos (sort range).

3: it's a large turret; it should be able to still fight vehicles well. Otherwise, the point of a Gallente HAV is kinda silly if it's an all Gallente hull. blasters needs more alpha, less DPS (so damage buff, and ROF nerf).

Well I'm at it again, with my take on judge rhadamanthusesesesesssss latest video on swarm launcher buffing, but what is that I hear you say... "Bamm how can you disagree with the Judge Almighty" ?, well then you'll have to watch the video to find out .

if a wykomi swarm launcher cant kill an afk armor tank due to 3x passive reppers... its OP

1: missiles and rails are OP

Those are some hot opinions there.

Get this, a rail sica with a single hardener will defeat even the most upgraded missile turret, a blaster sica with two hardeners will do the same

In fact, a rail sica can kill literally anything in the game with ease, while the missile turret is relegated to killing armour tanks and bad shield tankers. Only when you are decent with missiles can you use it as an anti air/anti infantry turret (memorize how to lead targets).

Therefore, missiles are the most deep and skill intensive large turrets while also being the most balanced. Stay mad scummy armour tanker!

I'm not sure how changing the red line does not have knock on effects but changing in the railgun does. They both will in my view. I also had some trouble with the talk about how the community needs to work to make the game better and the problems with a win at all cost mentality while watching a video of a maxed out proto HMG, on a Q - synced proto team obliterating a team of hapless newberries.
. It is like you are talking about X while demonstrating the real cancer that eats at Dust.

Your argument is that since that a explosive weapon can't kill a shield HAV easily (unless it's using the OP damage mods, in which case most things is sol), it's fine. However, that same turret will smash any armor HAV into the ground.

Additionally, these aren't even missiles. They're more like rockets.

It's absolutely rewarding when I'm able to score direct hits on infantry. I've had a fair amount of instances where I'd just shoot one missile at a moving target and score a direct hit on them, killing them instantly. It's SOO rewarding when I get to do that.
