Virtual Riot Rebels New Republic INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 322	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:25:00 - [1] - Quote This is the math for a Caldari Ck.0 Sent with max proficiency skills and 4 complex damage mods using an Ishukone Assault Forge Gun, vs a Madrugar using 2 complex heavy armor reps and 1 enhanced armor rep because you can't fit 3 complex armor reps. Everything is using max skills, for a true end game comparison. TL;DR at bottom Forge Gun stats, prof 5, 4 pro dmg mods for Ishukone Assault Forge Gun 1500 base 1500 / (4 dmg mods).8572 = 1749.88 (1750) vs shield 1740 / (10% weakness to shield)1.1 = 1591 vs armor 1750 / (prof + 10% bonus to armor)0.75 = 2333.3 (2334) Versus tripple rep maddy 2 complex heavy reps 1 enhanced heavy rep = 512.5 (513) armor / s 1200 shield recharge delay 6s dep recharge delay 11.25s recharge rate 96 4000 armor 513 armor / s 1st shot 1200 / 1.1 = 1333.3 (1334) 1500 - 1334 = 166 left over 166 / 0.75 = 221.3 (222) 4000 - 222 = 3778 armor 0 shield, 3778 armor after first shot 2nd shot 2.25 IAFG charge time between shots 2.25 x 513(armor repair rate/s) = 1154.25 (1155) 3778 + 1155 = more than 4000 so he is back to full 4000 armor 4000 - 2334 = 1666 armor left over 3rd shot 1666 + 1155 = 2821 2821 - 2334 = 487 armor left over 4th shot 487 + 1155 = 1642 1642 - 2334 = -692 armor left over (dead) As we can see here, it takes 4 direct hits from the dedicated AV suit to kill this Madrugar. This is considering the AV player hits all his shots in the least amount of time. He must hit all his shots, if he misses one shot he has to repeat the whole process over agin. This gives the Madrugar player 6.75 second to retreat or find cover before being dead. Is it balanced? I just like putting the info out there and letting people take from it what they will. TL;DR 4 shots from an IAFG to kill a triple rep mady with max skills and max damage. (he is dead on the 4th shot)

Principus Shmoof Triariian Sardianii-Triarii Planetary Services Armed-n-Hammered 93	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:43:00 - [9] - Quote I see your point, but here's a better idea. Instead of trying to incite a discussion over whether it's OP or not, let's ask the Devs to give us the Minmatar AV weapon. That will deal explosive damage and be the direct counter to the Armor of a Madruger. Or a Minny Tank with an artillery cannon or autocannon that deal explosive damage. The game is incomplete, and there will be people who will demand that HAVs receive a nerf, when the counters to them are not fully implemented. An Amarr tank and Amarr AV weapon will bring the major EM damage dealers and be the counter to shield. The problem with AV and HAVs is that they just are incomplete, and don't mirror the design of EVE that the game is following well enough yet

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

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 1126	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:55:00 - [12] - Quote 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. Balanced? I don't like to get into regards of balance when it comes to AV-HAV since 1.7 because I have 15 million invested into HAV meaning I cannot in good faith say I am being impartial. I will state, however, is that fit was around back when hardeners were 40/60 and no one complained because their ire was being aimed at Staggered Hardener - Repairer. "People that quote themselves in signatures confuse me." -Joseph Ridgeson
Dovallis Martan JenusKoll Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 716	Posted - 2014.04.11 17:56:00 - [13] - Quote AV is meant to be possible by one player, yes, but it's meant to be harder than just destroy because you can see it... I typically end up doing about ~5200 damage to my target in under 3 seconds. Needless to say I love rep stackers as opposed to hardener users. If you can read this, it means you are reading. Unless you are skimming

I hate it when people make this argument since av has never been a matter of whole team coordination or even squad coordination. Heck, since proxies came out I have been able to easily solo any ground vehicle with very little personal risk (a risk reward strategy that closely mirrors that of tanks). really what we need is AV that is capable if solo kills but only for elite (read highly skilled and high sp) av players. For most people it should take a group effort, but soloing tanks should be something infantry can aspire to. Fun > Realism

Try hitting that with a Breach FG and see what happens. Didn't someone already disprove your assertion in another thread? I guess I'll just paste his quote: Nothing Certain wrote: 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. #LivingLikeLarry [s]Text[/s] <-------- That's how you make a strike-through -HAND

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

You could just ask for your heavy Minmatar AV weapon that will be specialized against armor, while the forge gun is a hybrid type which isn't specialized toward either shield or armor, since the damage difference isn't that great and the proficiency skill is just rather misleading, as it isn't supposed to be anti-armor specialized.

When you just log on and want to have fun solo, you're out of luck then I assume? Nonsense, if AV can't get the job done I'll just drop my Militia Sica fit with 2x damage mods and 3-shot your tank in a matter of seconds. You're assumption is wrong. AV should be just as effective against vehicles as vehicles are against infantry. There is nothing about a tank that makes you special and require multiple people to destroy.

You're eve statement is shortsighted. Ttk on vehicles needs to be high so that we don't return to previous 1.7 where any militia scrub could solo a tank. In order to then balance, tanks can not be so effective against infantry. This is the issue. Not exactly sure how to solve it yet though. The nerf to Swarms was definitely a step in the wrong direction. The only conclusion I can reach is to give tanks a much higher HP but a much lower regen. Steady impacts from AV should cause tanks to retreat for a larger length of time than how it currently sits. Damage to vehicle WP was a good step too and has helped immensely in increasing AV incentives.

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? Hey genius, what do you think the nerf/buffs do to achieve balance? Killing a cloaked scout is not an unrealistic expectation, as it can easily be done by using one of it's hard counters, the Mass Driver. Can you expect to reasonably kill an HAV with one if it's hard counters, the Swarm Launcher? Your comparing a game with no theoretical limit on how many units you can field to a game with a limit of 16 units. Also, yes soloing HAVs were a thing. It was a thing in Codex, a thing in Chromosome, and a thing in all of Uprising 1.0 - Uprising 1.6. The difficulty of soloing an HAV should be proportional to the difficulty of operating one. You've yet to supply a valid reason as to why HAVs and vehicles should not be soloed, which brings me back to my original point: Atiim wrote: 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. Care to actually refute as opposed to creating a wall of text this time? Principus Shmoof Triariian wrote: 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 Who said balancing the game was easy? The reason why balance hasn't been achieved is because in order to achieve it, you first have to look at many different aspects and game mechanics and see how they tie in with each other, otherwise you'll risk balancing one aspect, but creating an imbalance in another. No, it is not. CCP has already stated that there are multiple teams of developers who work on different aspects of the game. Balancing the game does not hinder content because the team responsible for balancing the game is not the same people who create game content. So basically your pondering on whether or not DUST needs to be balanced? Instant loss of credibility. Principus Shmoof Triariian wrote: H.T.F.U Less nerf/buff, more content please Hmm...

And yet again, the triple rep fit is good against infantry only with a minimal amount of hostile AV, which does not include a PRO forge gun. Minimal AV is 2 guys using the Anti-Armor Starter Fit, on their own, rather than working together to chase away the tank. My Wiyrkomi forge works wonders against BPO LAVs. You could bring in a Sica with one damage mod and one shield hardener, and very easily destroy that tank.

Meaning you have to sit in your fully protoed out Sental CK.0 before you can start using your forge gun. in it's current state the Forge Gun will not fire. Secondly, All the cry hards removed all the mass driver properties from the Forge Gun (They where shown preferred treatment by CCP). Your chance of staying alive in that suit is harsh cause your choices are fit no tank or some tank and not be able to move. The good tankers can blap your CK.0 suit before you fire your 2nd or 3rd shot. This being if Infantry hasn't spotted you already in which case you are as good as dead anyway and you can kiss 160,000 isk GOODBYE. Then if you happen to kill the tank, you are then stuck in a gimped suit and if you don't have access to a supply depot kiss your 160k away again. Honestly I rather see the Tanks and DS be a little stronger and have the Rate of Fire back on the Forge and a Micro bump to the splash damage. BONUS : The 1 Second recharge is also bugged.. I noticed if you taken into armor it will recharge after 1 second, unless you get shot from 2 sources .5 seconds later and you'll be back on the 4 second delay in armor .

This is considering the AV player hits all his shots in the least amount of time. He must hit all his shots, if he misses one shot he has to repeat the whole process over agin. This gives the Madrugar player 6.75 second to retreat or find cover before being dead. Is it balanced? I just like putting the info out there and letting people take from it what they will. TL;DR 4 shots from an IAFG to kill a triple rep mady with max skills and max damage.

You're eve statement is shortsighted. Ttk on vehicles needs to be high so that we don't return to previous 1.7 where any militia scrub could solo a tank. In order to then balance, tanks can not be so effective against infantry. This is the issue. Not exactly sure how to solve it yet though. The nerf to Swarms was definitely a step in the wrong direction. The only conclusion I can reach is to give tanks a much higher HP but a much lower regen. Steady impacts from AV should cause tanks to retreat for a larger length of time than how it currently sits. Damage to vehicle WP was a good step too and has helped immensely in increasing AV incentives. My EVE statement is shortsighted? How so? Most fights I get in EVE are often terribly unbalanced towards one side, and when it is an even fight in terms of numbers, those numbers are often in the range of 16 vs 16, though it can be more. Most likely, HAVs are fine how they are, and we are missing half of them. Furthermore, the Tank Destroyers have been removed (Enforcers), so there goes to anti HAV HAV, the Amarr and Minmatar weapons are not in the game either, so there isn't the EM and Explosive damage either (Yes swarms but Minmatar do explosive better). I can assure you if the Minny HAV with an Autocannon turret was in the game, or the Minny AV weapon, the Tri Rep Madrugar would have a devastating counter. Also, when AV could solo tanks, AV was overpowered. When they can't kill one with 5 people, AV is underpowered. Where is the balance? We're better off now than we were. So don't go asking for a nerf to tanks or a buff for AV, because then things get OP or UP, and nothing will be accomplished

One thing as a tanker that irritates me about the constant QQ from non-tankers (read as AV players or wannabes) is that missing one shot bit. That applies to tanks as well. Miss part of the missile volley, rail gun gets to reply while retreating or blasters tear the tank apart while attacking. Overheating is the bane of the other weapons. Now we all get to run out ammo as well so there is the reload, total ammo and overheat to deal with. That and the large weapons do less splash damage than the smaller versions (which cost exactly the same amount of SP). Multiple damage mods limits what a shield tanker can do, BTW. As I mostly run armor that is best left to others. Sica and Gunni tankers that run multiple damage mods are easy pickings for the opposition. If they miss one round or overheat if two tanks are in play against them they are dead and their expensive tank is as well. In all aspects of Dust if you screw up the attack you will need to start over. Get a clue, share it with your friends. And so it goes.

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 survivability is "relative" not absolute scrub. AV is the ANTI to the Tank. Thus the bane of its existance, show me a game where a counter is supposed to take more effort/skill/teamwork then the think it fights against? in any RTS you would just throw more of those tanks at the enemy knowing that the counter is weak.
