You said it.

I apologize for not having more intimate knowledge of what people use to run 8000 HP, super repped scrub loadouts.

It's not super reps even more.

Can't defend ourselves against proper AV anymore. We can't even fight back, you think that's fair? How about we give heavies the EHP of a medium suit and can only use Nova Knives. You can't fight back effectively nor can you defend yourself effectively.

I actually think either blasters need to be un-nerfed or heavy reps need to be un-nerfed. We either need to be able to attack back or defend ourselves from AV. Currently I have to run with my tail between my legs because I can't do either.

Was the blaster nerf that bad? I didn't think itwas all that bad!
I can still hit people provided I don't just spray and pray like an overpayed action hero.

You have plenty of EHP
You have plenty of Damage from your large turret
You have 2 light turret slots for greater accuracy if you need it

And you have massive passive scan radius that picks up the LAV's for you!

Really sounds like a sentinel with nova knives.

More like a commando with a scanner and nova kinves!

Yesterday, the scrubiest player I came across suicided his LAV into my militia fit Neutron Blaster Madrugar (and killed me, though I shouldn't need to mention). Then later he came in with his Ion Cannon Madrugar. LOL just WOW. Later a blue missile tank ganked the sh*t out of him (I was about 5 seconds too late to do so with mine, so I saw it happen instead). But seriously now CCP, remove the ability to stick remotes to blue vehicles. "By His light, and His will"- The Scriptures, 12:32 -- "Scouts should fart repeatedly while cloaked"- TechMechMeds

Instead let's stop tanks ramming all their teammates and their vehicles like spoilt little brats first eh? Bring a rifle? How's that going to help? My missile turret will do a better job. But that's if I spot them. But usually I only hear them within 10 meters and they're already up my ass and exploded by the time I can react. And yes they do occur frequently. I lost multiple tanks yesterday in different battles to suicide LAVs. Many other battles where I saw the usage of a suicide LAV so to reduce the risk of going ISK-negative (which is easy to do now, it's almost like we're back to 1.6) I switch to my Python so I can't get suicide LAV'ed.

Now that they have no credible threat after large blasters were nerfed, they can go blasting at tanks and dropships. I might even say proto AV is a bit OP because there's no way to go up against them, but I'll stay out of that for now. Hell, a few days ago I finally got standard swarms on my infantry alt. First game, I took out two, or three Sicas. Same pilot though, but still shows it's doable. Shot two volleys at him as he approached me, threw my 2 AV grenades at him, then finished him with a final volley. Sure you might not call him the smartest pilot, but who says that everything needs to be balanced by the top players? I think there should be a small minority of players that make whatever they're using seem OP because they got skill. Stop complaining that you want to be able to kill the most experienced. Balance shouldn't be around them. I already see enough tanks destroyed in the killfeed by AV.

I hate these "I don't like to be killed this way" threads.... who cares if you think its scrubby! it's an innovative tactic, especially for people who either don't have AV skilled, or want to send a message to the other team that tanks will not be permitted here. personally when I pull out av they just call another tank. but when I jihad them, they get the message and stay off my battlefield. Level 1 swarms. Level 1 AV grenades. True, I can't kill any tank, but I have a big shot against other tanks with similar investment. Completely doable, I killed two or three Sicas the first game after I got standard swarms a couple days ago. Also who says that anyone must be able to kill everyone? If a tanker is among the top, why should he be kill able? Balance shouldn't go around the top 1%.

Really sounds like a sentinel with nova knives. More like a commando with a scanner and nova kinves! Scan radius is only 10 meters! Blasters can only kill non-fat suits within 30 meters! Fat suits within 20 meters! 10 meters or under if you don't want to have to fire in three round bursts before dispersion gets too big! No effective way of dealing with proto AV because they can apply their damage long before you can start applying yours. Plenty of EHP? Yeah right. An Ishy Forge Gun can wipe out my 5300 unhardened shields in one clip as I'm trying to flee for cover so I don't waste my hardener. On a Madrugar it's worse. No hardener because it's crap and bonus damage to armor for forge guns. It is just like a heavy with Nova Knives. Can be lethal up close, but beyond that you're safe to apply damage.

Some situations, the forge is better, others RE's and I'm not even talking about the jeep What's the difference if I use a jeep or I run up behind you (cloaked or not, doesn't matter) jump on your hood, toss out 4 REs and then run away laughing in anticipation of your pending earth shattering kaboom? Nothing, except in my situation, my clone is likely still alive and you're dead. With the Jeep, at least we're both dead. I fly ADS, I drive tanks, I proto forge vehicles, I toss out proxies and REs and kill indiscriminately. I proto logi. There is no tactic beneath me in order to win the battle in any way necessary. You would rather kill differences because you don't like something. Why should your opinions effect other peoples play style? It should be about skill level. If someone's not skilled enough to use AV to take me out, why should they have such a cheap tactic that grants an insta-kill?

Also, did you really complain that a forge gun can deplete you shields with 4 shots? not kill you, DEPLETE YOUR SHIELDS? Good God man, grow a pair. I'm good as dead if my shields are depleted.

BLAV takes skill to navigate the battlefield that is currently infested with tanks and ADS while focusing on one target while taking ones life for others to live is the greatest sacrifice. Tanks can no longer "run over infantry" since blasters were nerfed. AV is more than capable of destroying tanks now and LOL @ skill. Yeah, pushing the left stick around and crashing into a tank sure takes a lot of skill.
