I lost more suits than I have ever lost in a night, and I didn't kill a single dropship, nor a tank. One time I swear the ADS wagged at me as I launched the 3 death swarm, turned around and blasted away and came back to kill me.
Admittedly, not the best AVer out there, but, it's not only about not being able to kill vehicles, it's all the times I am trying to chase a double hit dropship or HAV, and get shot by any other infantry. I died 50% from not being able to defend my self against infantry, and the rest by blaster tanks or missile turret ads's.
Militia swarms being a threat is class A bs. Good. A ridiculous free suit shouldn't be able to do anything to a million isk vehicle. There is a thing called value to consider. Now, had you friends helping out or god forbid a forge gun you would have killed all of your targets. And had you played commando you would've been able to fight off infantry threats and drive away vehicle threats. So don't use a free suit and expect value.
I suppose you didn't see the part where he said he was using proto, doesn't sound like a free suit to me.

I suppose you didn't see the part where he said he was using proto, doesn't sound like a free suit to me. It's true, I didn't. I'm so used to reading blather that I read the top line, then read the bottom line, and assume everything in the middle is stupidity. I like to give Rattati the benefit of the doubt where possible, but he did mention militia's so I assumed he was attempting to justify a buff across the board. That would be a mistake.
But the proto part is the top line.
