AV is never supposed to be a one person thing, you need support of a good squad & team

AV is never supposed to be a one person thing, you need support of a good squad & team

That assertion is a fallacy.

Then so should vehicles.
Vehicles should be pretty **** without team work, just like AV

Not entirely. HAVs are designed to be able to work alone, due to their survive-ability.

But here's the thing, an HAV alone with no sort of direction isn't as good, but an HAV with a good squad commander who's giving the pilot orders can be a force to be reckoned with, as team work always will amplify somethings effectiveness. Just because there isn't another HAV, doesn't mean it's alone, it has a team to work with.

Basically, teamwork is needed to get more out of your HAV, and more out of your AV

But HAV solo and AV solo, most of the time the HAV will win.

Triple Repairer Madrugar is an infantry and blaster eater. Both of those do very sustained damage which is where it wins; it's the Drake of DUST. It won't win against anything with front loaded damage such as a Railgun or a Missile tank. For infantry, they are kind of forced into having two guys with Forge weapons or Remote Explosives. I don't use the fit often because I prefer a different fit that I feel is more rounded.

You're putting a giant weapon on treads against a person, of course it will win if the pilot isn't an idiot. Remember the days when anyone with a swarm launcher and AV Grenades melted all tanks? Do you wanna go back to that? Oh boy, another nerf, and then a few patches later, another buff. what would we accomplish doing that? Nothing. I'd rather have how it is stay and be able to interact with EVE more than more nerf, buffs, nerfs, buffs.

I swear to cheese some of you people don't know that tanks have a weak spot. Try hitting that with a Breach FG and see what happens.

Let's look at the numbers instead of the claims.
A militia Sica from the store comes with 4150 HP
A Soma, 5200
A Wirkomi BFG does 2100 damage. If you have Lev.5 Prof 5 w/ Complex Heavy Damage Modifier and you hit the fuel cells and get the 168% damage bonus you get 4260 damage. So, you can take out a Sica in one shot, given these conditions. You can't take out a Soma or any other tank. IIf the Sica has any shield extenders or armor plate you can't one shot it. If you only have prof. 4, you can't one shot it. If you miss the fuel cells, you don't even come close. I'd file this claim as possible, but implausible.

That statement is fallacious.

In a game, one person should be able to win against one other person if they use something designed to be their hard counter; and they should be able to do it with reasonable expectations. Otherwise, that unit becomes better than every other unit in said game, and there becomes no point in running anything else other than that item.

That serves to remove all diversity from the game, which supposed to be one of this game's 'selling' points.

Balancing the game wouldn't hinder the time it would take to strengthen the EVE/DUST link, as they are being worked on by different teams of developers; and I'm pretty sure the majority of the playerbase would much rather have a balanced game where everyone's role is equally fun and viable, as opposed to strengthening the link to a game who's playerbase would love nothing more than for CCP to shut this game down.

The main problem with this, is the fact that the fact that a weapon who's profile has the strongest Armor bias in the game cannot effectively destroy it.

That's about as balanced as a Scrambler Rifle not being able to kill a Minmatar Frame.

Although it is possible he has watched Pyrex's videos I fail to see what has to do with this

Old Pyrex:
Ran infantry. Had a p*ss stats but good perspectives.

New Pyrex:
Has run Vehicles in a game without decent AV since early 1.7.
Perspectives presently reflect that he's lost touch with reality.

Balance would be nice, too bad that isn't what the nerfs/buffs do. they nerf, and they buff, they don't balance. If it was balanced, why would you want to nerf it? If it was balanced, why would you want to buff it? Just because you can't kill the scout that is cloaked doesn't mean it is OP, because you might be pursuing unrealistic goals if what you're using can't actually kill cloaky scouts, so you go to the forums and whine until the end of time. If it's broken, fix it, if it isn't and you're just bad, HTFU yah scrub. AV isn't a solo thing for HAVs, it never has been. And it shouldn't be easy to do. A single swarm launcher shouldn't be able to take out an HAV.... but 3 or 4 should have the ability to kill it. In EVE, an assault frigate would be hard pressed to kill a battleship... but 5 Assault Frigates?

And if balancing the game was so freaking easy, why isn't it balanced? Why isn't there more of a link to EVE? Simple. Dev time is focused on nerfing and buffing the whiney players who can't deal with something killing them. If it needs to be balanced then by all means do so, but if it really doesn't... then boo hoo you died. You want the game to be better? I have the answer, and there is even a song done by CCP

H.T.F.U

Less nerf/buff, more content please
