But seriously now CCP, remove the ability to stick remotes to blue vehicles.

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%.

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.

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.

I know this is going to sound weird, but I have been working on thought: Large Turrets - Rails and Missiles ONLY Small Turrets - Blasters and Lasers ONLY Every HAV could run AV and anti-Infantry, provided that they had gunners. If you're solo in a HAV, you're relegated to AV. It would then require the assistance of a gunner(s) to tackle Infantry in CQC. (*Gotta go to work, will revisit later.)

Balance shouldn't go around the top 1%. what ridiculous biased drivel.... balance is simply having a counter to every tactic... and we have that. you pull out a tank, I pull out a jihad jeep. you or anyone on your team shoot one remote on my lav I blow up and die and need to spend another minute or 2 spawning in reloading the jeep with remotes and driving to your location to possibly just blow up again before I get my target or successfully kill you...either way I die and cost my team a clone.... you tankers all think the only thing that should kill you is another tank and I've always countered with "then infantry should only be able to kill infantry" which is just how ridiculous you tankers sound... the fact is good tankers have always been good tankers. they top the boards at least 90% of the time and have some of the highest k/d win/loss and wp in the game. if you don't like getting killed by jihad jeeps then practice battle awareness... you can see them on radar, you can hear them, you can see them driving near you, and if you are squaded your team can also help provide you with battle field intel... just to humor you though I challenge you to tell me why jihad jeeps kills are less valid than other types of av kills.

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.
