He isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Right now if you put two guys with swarms on a tank, the tank will probably get away.

If you replaced one of those swarms with a PLC that had a snare, then the AV tag team would win. If you give the PLC big damage instead, the tank would probably get away again unless the buff was so ridiculously outrageous that no one need ever run any other form of AV ever again.

The plasma cannon, im sorry to tell you, isn't that difficult to hit a vehicle. So drop that argument. It's hard to KILL a vehicle with. But then, its the same way for swarms and forges right now. It's difficult for any solo AV to do this job right.

What I'm telling you is that if you give it a snare, it buffs AV duos or incredibly good commandos to the point it is much easier to take down HAV's.

If you can put a snaring plasma cannon in the city, why in their right mind is going to want to rush into the city with a tank? That's a risky proposition. He's close, you're a big target, he has cover, you can't get away, the entire enemy team is surrounding you... nasty stuff.

Now it sounds like you just want a solo AV weapon that can wreck everything, to which I say no. That is not the way vehicles versus infantry has been balanced and it shouldn't be balanced that way.

To me it sounds like you want webifiers.

I don't want my only AV weapon to be a ******* web, I want to behave like a Gallente weapon would - Devastating at close range.

And if they will go the route of your suggestion they better double the ammo capacity on that thing because I will be sitting there pounding tanks for 10 minutes before they finally give up and get out to kill me. (Exaggeration but still)

Well guess what? You would be doing exactly what every other form of AV is currently doing against tanks when they operate solo. Infantry deter HAV's solo, they do not kill solo. Not against good tanks.

And you're not going to do more damage than a heavy weapon. Especially not when you can hold two of the damn things. Get those delusions out of your head good sir. If you were to get any form of damage increase it would be on the plasma MORTAR, the Gallente heavy weapon. Not the Plasma cannon, a light weapon that any tard can run around with.
