You could say that cost would be a good reason to use an av fit over a tank. This is untrue for 2 reasons- 1. Obviously a proto av weapon, the only ones worth a single damn, are more expensive than tanks... 2. And more importantly since 1. Is likely to change, cost does not matter for us. Even if everyone had 10 mil isk we still wouldn't care about cost if we wanted to kill something. We'd just use the best option avaiable like always.
THIS. Is the reason av is completely broken. Because every AVer is sitting in a tank. Because you can't be selfish and say"well it should take 3 people to take me out! Because I spent 500k isk on this!" Because when you do that, there's no reason those 3 people won't do the exact same thing you're doing. If you can't deal with the fact that there is role SPECIFICALLY MADE to beat ONLY your role, and think it should take 3 or more of these guys WHOSE ONLY ROLE is to kill YOU, then perhaps you shouldn't be playing online games. You're probably better off playing a single player game, where entire campaigns of enemies can't kill you.
Now then, since av is broken, back to sitting in my tank. Exploiting the idiocy of the forums influence on CCP 1 unlucky merc in front of a blaster at a time. AV is perfectly fine once my passive's regain themselves and my Forge shoots on time. The myth of 3 AV's to take out 1 tank is so wrong. I am one AV specialist and I usually take out more than a dozen vehicles in one game.. Patience is key.
I call BS. 6 vehicles a game...lol. A LAV abandoned at the letter does not count. The math is simple...1 AV..."sits,waits,hunt,traps" a tank. While doing this the tank kills 10 to 15 players. AV finally gets him. Team tank is winning 15 to 1. Every AV'er is one less red dot that shoots back...unless a skilled commando. The price or risk to run the tank needs to increase. |
