Leovarian L Lavitz This We'll Defend 1141	Posted - 2014.08.24 06:10:00 - [1] - Quote I don't consider infantry VRS vehicles very fun right now-that said vehicles vrs infantry is glorious Any ideas how to bring infantry more fun when engaging vehicles? I think the nova knives buff verses vehicles is a start, it's risky, its nuts, but it is fun imo. Jihad jeeping was another fun thing - for the driver, but tankers didn't appear to like it. I say - Let infantry shoot from vehicles with their infantry weapons - including heavy weapons, however heavy weapons kick as hard as they would on impact, so a heavy shooting a forge from a dropship would knock the dropship all over the place. (When players could ride vehicles, shooting from them was never easy, hand-held weapons get the same inertia and twist as turrets) So, that's a 'buff' for vehicles, but it also gets infantry in on the action - they can have fun, drop down and have fun, just have a blast. AV players become more important because vehicles become more prominent on the battlefield - specifically LAVs and Dropships. The mix of vehicles improves with lavs, dropships and tanks taking the field while infantry hold points. However, you can only shoot with Side-arms out of the LAV passenger seat. Omni-Soldier Few are my equal in these specialties, none compare in all of them

This is the exact reason why we can't gun from the lav passenger seat. Try it, it is tough as heck to land hits from a moving dropship onto a moving vehicle with a heavy weapon, I tested it out before vehicle surfing was nerfed. Additionally, forge guns blow back the dropship just like a forge hit against the dropship. Omni-Soldier Few are my equal in these specialties, none compare in all of them

Only sidearms from the passenger seat in LAVs Light weapons or sidearms, barring Nova Knives obviously. That way, everyone can get in on the action, and heavies would have to make a tradeoff for their HP in a car. Heavies would use SMGs(most likely I've never seen a heavy with anything but an SMG) Commandos would use whatever they please. They would be the best passengers, most likely. Assaults would be able to use their light or sidearm. Logis would use their light. Scouts would be able to use the light or sidearm. This would allow for some very interesting AV as well. Imagine fire swarms at another vehi le while chasing it down in a LAV. yup, it would be intense Omni-Soldier Few are my equal in these specialties, none compare in all of them

Everyone would be zipping around in LAVs/ dropships and tanks. Blow it up? they come back in, AV has fun, vehicles have fun, everyone has fun except the fatty guarding alpha :( Omni-Soldier Few are my equal in these specialties, none compare in all of them
