Wait, was this proposed just because I made a video of me killing madrugars with STD remotes?

lol
My feedback:
Most of the tankers in my video were noobs, and I was using a proto plasma cannon and proto AV grenades to weaken the tank beforehand.
YES remotes are awesome, but the amount of skill it takes to pull of a remote kill without the tank running away from you, killing you, or doing anything before you can land a direct hit with a plasma cannon and drop two AV grenades is astoundign unless the tanker is a complete noob.
Some of the tanks in my montage I chased down the ENTIRE match with a proto fit that I died in maybe 5 or 6 times before finally destroying them.
I agree that there needs to be progression, but I shouldn't have to use 3 types of proto AV on a proto scout in combination to have a 33% chance of killing a Madrugar (about 1/3 of the tanks I encountered I was able to kill with that fit). Not to mention how often you have to restock at a supply depot if you fail to destroy the tank.
I cannot make that same type of fitting on an adv scout because I run out of fitting space. Increasing the fitting cost would just make it impossible for anyone aside from logistics to run a remote AV fit...and even then they would have a hard time keeping up with the speed of the tanks (My scout suit had two complex sprint mods in order to run at 10 m/s JUST so that I could at least have a chance of catching the tanks, especially once they start moving after I plant the first remote). Trying to get 3 remotes on a smart tank is impossible. Two is extremely lucky unless you put on on at a time. Even then, getting their hp down low to pop them with just two on a madrugar with an armor plate requires 2 proto AV grenades and a shot with a proto PLC.
If anything, I think the best way to balance remotes would be to decrease the amount available to be deployed while also increasing damage for proto and decreasing for standard but a small amount. STD should be 1 or 2, ADV should be 2 or 3, and proto 3 or 4. Damage values something like 1200 for standard, 1500 for adv, and 1800 for proto.
