well back in the day infantry av could handle tanks, and thus oms was the only ambush game mode capable of handling tanks.
now that infantry av can't handle tanks they should of removed them from oms as well. |

I don't understand the issue here? I single-handedly take out Rail-Sicas (the most prevalent, imo) with one of two options, REs or Forge guns. Me. One Person. You mean to tell me 2 AV people can't kill tanks? I call shenanigans
sicas heh....
anyway legit tanks are a lot harder to kill, that said it seems all large turrets are meh at killing infantry now, blasters are frustratingly in-accurate, 12 missiles from a missile turret has about a 20% chance of landing a kill, and rails over heat like crazy.
end of the day i'm a little torn if tanks are a factor anymore, ADS sure are, but infantry av can drive those off easy enough. |

Gaming the system is an exploitation of the rules to gain an advantage, How about you explain how you think I am exploiting the queue system and what advantage I gain over others using the queue system. Also how is playing a game mode I do not currently want to play enhancing my enjoyment? That statement makes no sense at all. Also you subscribed to too mutually exclusive statements. Which is it? a) The only intended result should be the enjoyment of the player at the time of play. or b) So just freaking play it.
I do believe, he thinks you are avoiding harder fights in favor of easy ones you can win, this is a form of stat padding, win padding.
it's similar in nature to that of milking academy games as experienced players, and takes many forms.
the main gain from using such tactics is isk, you will lose less isk, and will gain much more by farming inexperienced unsquadded blueberries unable to deal with your drop ship or what ever tactic you wish to use, as opposed to fighting those who are indeed capable of it.
In this instance you wish to favor ambush over OMS so it obvious has little to do with you wanting to use vehicles, or the type of opponent you wish to fight and more wanting to not deal with vehicles, but the same principles apply, IMO
take it as you wish but I do believe this what was meant by his comment.
as for the two statements it's quite possible for a person to enjoy games more by playing all games, if the person derives their enjoyment from over coming the challenge of all games and over coming everything that is thrown at them, I for one am a person of this type, some like yourself probably only draw enjoyment from a small subset of match types, thus you pick and choose. |

but to be honest I think the main problem is that if people want to attack vehicles they become vulnerable to infantry and vice versa, not everybody went with minmando for av reasons.
I have to admit that coming up against tank and infantry squads is not fun, I had a rough experience yesterday where 2 shotty scouts and a rail rifle were being careful to kill anybody that tried to approach the tank or that were anywhere nearby.
not fun.. that said, all that comes down to is a good tactic to be an efficient squad and not something to try changing the game for
heh what choices do you get about anything else?
I don't want to face shotgun scouts or RE's, or heavies, where's my new mode? |
