Just like ANTI-VEHICLE weapons were created to be greater than vehicles. If they were not, they wouldn't exist.
Funny how that works both ways, isn't it?

Anti means effective against. It does not mean instant kill. That would be angsty 13 year old entitlement complex. There are levels of effectiveness, and how much of something needs to be applied before it is lethal. You can apply your entire teams focused firepower of assault rifles on a Madrugar, but his shields will not go down. It doesn't matter how much ammo you throw at it. Simply because those are not anti-vehicle weapons, and they are not effective against it. And swarms are effective against vehicles. If they were not, they wouldn't run away from them. Good try, but the logic doesn't fit there at all. The stupidity of this community, as always, disappoints me.
Actually, in this case, "anti" refers to the fact that it is specifically designed to counter and combat vehicles.
Why anyone would design a direct counter with less than maximum effectiveness against the very thing that it is specifically designed to counter?
THAT, my friend, would be stupid. |

Ever heard of poison? Poison was designed to kill things. A small amount of poison might not kill something, but a larger amount would. Behold, a world where 1 does not have an opposite reaction of 1000. Dumbass.
Key word: "KILL" not "scare away".
And insults? Really? That's the best you can come up with to support your position?
Resorting to personal attacks is usually a clear sign of a weak arguement. If you can't sufficiently defend your claims with facts and logic, might as well just resort to name-calling, right?
Classy.

Lol, if you say so.
I think I'm done here anyway. Let me know when you're ready to have a mature discussion about this, without the petty name-calling, and maybe I'll be back.
Until then, I've got better things to do then get dragged into your childish schoolyard b.s. |

AV stops vehicles from doing their job. That is their purpose and that is what they do.
You are not entitled to anything else, nor will you receive anything else.
I think I'll leave that for CCP to decide, thank you very much. |

Lol @ thinking anyone who plays this game is in any way "relevant"! |

The truth is a single AV player should be enough to threaten and/or disrupt vehicles, but actually killing them should be difficult, but not impossible, depending on the situation, each player's skill, and a multitude of other variables.
If a single AV player could easily kill a vehicle, then vehicles would be worthless once 2-3 players used AV.
It's a balancing game, and vehicles should have a slight edge, but that's not to mean that they should be an "I win" button. Any AVer should be a thorn in the side of a pilot unless dealt with immediately, either by fleeing or engaging. This is like saying that an assault shouldn't be able to solo a heavy, but be a thorn in his side, unless 2-3 people are attacking the heavy. That's exactly what it means. Now you understand the concept of a bigger opponent being innately superior to a smaller opponent. Good job.
So players who use vehicles should be "superior" to everyone else? Who's acting "entitled" now?
Do you honestly believe that, in a BALANCED game, any single player should be superior than another, just because of the equipment he uses?
Usually, superiority is determined by the player's skill, not by the crutches he uses.
I'm beginning to understand why you're so scared of your advantage being taken away! Lol! |
