They're not. I just stated several ways how they can be avoided, and that's not even ALL the ways.

iv also known abut dust since 2004 so yeah stick with it noob

Dust didn't exist in 2004. I call bullshit.

railguns are broken, there is no reason to field one idiot. i have a valid reason to complain about them, ur whining about something killig you because your situational awareness is at a noob level, learn to pay attention before you cry about kamikaze cars insta poping ur tank, its no worse than a detroyer sucide ganking a t2 mining barge, if the barge pilot pays attntion he wont get ganked. quit being a noob

i got a magazine with a promo add back when the first came up with the concept.

Get some situational awareness, and sorry (not sorry) that Dust isn't pay to win.

"Railguns are broken"

reads in english to: "I can't 3 shot a guy, so now I can't kill anything, because I suck"

Anyways, let me tell you all that's wrong with that:

Your situational awareness requires you to be looking for targets, correct? Well, then, there's two things wrong with that:

1: Can't look for JLAV's while being shot at

2: Can't rapidly look around a vehicle 24/7 like infantry can, as turret speed is locked

Also add in the fact that due to the nature of blasters, you have to be close to the enemy to actually hit them, therefore being in their area of control a lot, you're prone to being insta ganked by a JLAV.

And no, I know they are coming, I can't do anything about it 99% of the time.

leave jihad jeeps alone.. if they wish to waste like.. think its 40k to 100k on a jeep to kill a tank let them..

Fun for you, 500k out per ramming for me, and that's not fun. It must be fun for both parties, and it should be fair for both parties.

It's super easy to do, you seem so suffer from being a bluedot if you think it's hard.

insults only weaken your position... is it easier than slaughtering infantry with no av on the field?

oh and btw if you are pulling out a 500 k tank in a pub you have no room to call out others for being scrubs... just saying...

Should such a limit be impossible to add in, I would remove it completely and have re only stick to non friendly surfaces like walls and hostile vehicles.

lol, sounds like u suk if u get killed by kamikaze cars 99% of the time, they are free points to me i kill 7/9 idiots who try to kamikaze me, the railguns are made to kill tanks and other vehicles and if i cant kill a standard tank with my adv railgun in under 5 shots its broken, tell me how am i supposed to kill a tripple rep tank with in 250m without missing a shot and if i do miss just one shot he reps all the damage i just did, and keepin mind they target gets a 100% speed boost to increase my chances of missing casing me to overheat?? it would be different if we had more than 2 useful modules to fit to a tank

JLAV =/= AV JLAV = broken tactic that for some reason infantry won't let go that should have never existed. And no, I enjoy actual AV, as they give myself a challenge. JLAV's does no such thing; only brings rage.

By the way, where else am I supposed to pull a 500k (my only HAV fit) out then?

It takes much longer to get iSK up for my HAV, invalid, and no, it isn't; stop using scrubby Cal vehicles.

Also I noticed the word alt, as it's not your main thing, you do it for shitz and giggles......... kk, Not taking you serious.

EDIT: ramming **** has nothing to do with New Eden wonders.

It's unavoidable, and it instantly kills you, no matter how much tank you got.

It also can be absolutely free, and if not free, real damn cheap.

It's ******* broken, and you know it. This isn't the "Spirit of New Eden", this is just broken ****.

No i want Jihaad jeeps to stay. Why? because its an effective AV tactic. Before you say use forge guns and Swarms. those are good but tankers just run away and spam their hardeners and that crap but if you use Jihaad Jeeps they can catch up and finish you off which is good

Same argument as ramship vs ADS, groundwise . The tools are there, except countering such tactics is tough and require complete attention on the task. Most of the time , vehicle users have infantry kill farming as priority over vehicle countering.

So what you're saying is you're bad at AV.

Right.

Get good and then we can talk.

This is silly. A prof 5 proto assault forge on a fully bpo'd out skinweave heavy can 3 shot a fully fitted, fully specced, massively expensive ADS out of the sky for under 80k, a MLT scout can chuck a basic RE into a room full of proto suits and drop WAY more ISK value than your tank, a fully MLT forge gunner can camp a roof and pick off proto suits all day..... and you guys are pissy that a 30k car loaded up with RE's by a guy who specced into them for that purpose and who can navigate close enough to you to RAM you without you noticing is blowing up your tank?

Um... situational awareness much?

Teamwork?

Isn't that the drivel AV players have been hearing for the last 6-8 months? "Use Teamwork!" Well, have your squad let you know when there's a LAV in your vicinity. You're not with your squad? Well, you're not using teamwork. Sad day.

Player ingenuity. It's a beautiful thing. Rail tankers could (and on some maps, do) camp the redline all match. They thought it up as an effective tactic. The only issue I have with it is that there's no effective way to counter it since OB's can't really drop decent tanks anymore. jLAV's ARE easy to counter. You can have teammates set up proxy's which will detonate the RE's on the LAV when they go off. You can have a teammate with a swarm on standby to hit the LAV's and either scare them off, kill them or tag their RE's with missiles, detonating them (along with the driver). Or you can have teammates spot LAV's for you. Or you can have situational awareness since you can hear LAV's from a long ways off. OR you can combine some of these ideas and do pretty well avoiding/killing 99% of them.

Happy tanking, jLAV's are the least of your worries. ;)

And I ask why. Quite literally why. Why are they still in the game? They are no way in hell a legit kill, and it's no way in hell a fair kill. AV is much better than before (actually usable by noobs, which is why most of you wanted to keep it), so I ask, why in the hell is it still here?

Yes I'm mad, deal with it.

BLUB

that's unfair... good tankers do just this. they harden up and back off... you cant shoot them through cover, forgers are stationary lest they have an lav ( and only if they are on the ground) swarms dumbfire into rocks and buildings, and by the time you catch up you have to start over...

also good tankers run with squads who back them up... so the swarmer is being owned by a scout, the forger is either being sniped, railed, or OB'ed and the only thing left to hope and even the score is a jihad jeep.

and seriously before remotes were sticky I was taking out lots of tanks running up on them or setting traps... so what? now I can stick them on my lav and suddenly I'm bad? a scrub? I need to git gud?


I say in all fairness any tanker who is getting obliterated match after match by such a "scrubby" tactic needs to get good...seriously if you are getting blown up that much that its an issue and like an insane person you keep doing the exact same crap that got you killed a dozen times before, take a look at your own skill level before you degrade others....

So what you're saying is you're bad at AV.

Right.

Get good and then we can talk.
