Gives a little bit too much versatility to the AV guys. A Minmatar Commando with Swarms and Combat Rifle is already pretty versatile. I cannot imagine how ridiculous it would be to have a Scout with a Rail Rifle/Combat Rifle/Shotgun, Cloak, and a Swarm Launcher.

Same goes for any suit really. Be able to fight off AV without really losing a slot that hurts. It is the reason why AV grenades got hit by the nerf fairy.

Nope, then they would be too powerful and be nerfed and therefore useless.
Just give back dumbfire, add an engagement range (to circumvent suiciders), make the projectile travel slow, make

I'm just coming from a battlefield state of mind, where it takes like 7-10 solid hits to take a tank down, but it's not so bad because people aren't completely giving up their ability to defend themselves.

I wouldn't really think it to be comparable to be honest. One weapon is only usable against a specific playstyle, the other can kill everything except that specific playstyle.
But hey, I never said it was a good idea.

Then the Assault Swarm Launcher would be a worthless piece of equipment instead of a worthless weapon.

Personally, I thin Spademan is sort of on to something. The thing is, it's accurate to say that the actual swarm launcher would be somewhat broken if it went into an equipment slot- suddenly cloaky scouts are able to kill everything on the field. Not exactly too far off from where we are now, but too close to broken for my liking.
That said, a single-shot, reduced damage swarm launcher is, IMO, a great idea for a new equipment item.

I'd have to say this is a bad idea. With the current change to swarms I have to run if there is even one, if there are two its pretty much guaranteed !y dropship is going down, everyone running around with swarms in addition to their primaries would only further the neutering of dropships.

AV should never have that level of versatility, omnipresence, and utility. Vehicles should not be an afterthought, if you are being killed by them you might want to pull out *actual* anti-vehicle measures or take some real preparation against them.

Query: Is the problem specifically with the swarms in an equipment slot or any kind of propelled av in the equipment slot?

If it's "propelled AV as equipment", then quite frankly I'd point out REs.
If it's the former, however... well, I'll be posting something up shortly about that.

As for Av equipment.....MORE PPL NEED TO USE PROXY MINES
Also nanohives and Av nades
But if u wanna talk some kind of holdout Av...LAW-66
A disposable AV Rocket (Minmatar)- 50-75m range, +15%/-15%, no blast radius
You only carry one
You can't get them from nanohives
Id say 1500 dmg basic....
Boundless Breach AV Rocket-2200 dmg
But, u get too many in one place...tank rolls up
The proto min mando has one....The gal logi has four...The two cloaked scouts have one each.....extreme I know
There's some words
Be Well

Well, it would help if proxies weren't completely terrible. As far as the AV nade/hive combo... I'm certain I don't have to explain why nanos are a critical part of any non-Forge AV fit, and why AV nades are a short-ranged weapon.
Also, the only thing I can say about your proposed "AV Rocket" idea is that it would be hideously overpowered. That kind of damage should only be attainable by an RE... because you do have to actually run up right next to a tank to blow it up.
But again, I'll be posting something up shortly, and then I'll link it in this thread.

It is the versatility. Imagine this:
You have an Assault guy running about the map with an X Rifle, mowing down infantry. An enemy tank comes in so he swaps to his equipment Swarm Launcher or 'propelled AV' and pushes it off the field or flat out kills it. He continues to go back to fighting other infantry and being a slayer. He nullifies vehicles without giving up the ability to nullify infantry.

Whether or not it's junk depends on the intended purpose of the weapon, from a game design perspective.

I'd argue that AV nades are powerful enough this is already the case. Moreover, this just goes back to my above reply to Middas- it depends on the intended purpose of the weapon.
As an example, say the swarm launcher fired only one shot per clip, and only fired 3 missiles instead of four, and kept the current damage model. It wouldn't be a very deadly or dangerous weapon- really it's the sort of thing that a vehicle pilot would perk up a little and think, "hmm, this is annoying, do I want to try and kill this guy anyways and risk being caught by his buddies if they are similarly equipped, or do I want to find something easier/more interesting to shoot at".
It's something of a risk-reward thing; such a weapon would be relatively low-risk, and so it should consequently be low-reward.

That would turn everyone into AV on the side and really bring out some QQ (which would actually be warranted for a change)
This did give me an idea for a new piece of equipment tho. Think 2 missile swarm launcher that is planted in the ground and will auto lock / fire on the first enemy vehicle that comes into a certain range, like 25m or less. Making the range short enough that it would not operate on towers would be very important. This would bring out some serious rage when a tanker running from the battle at the last minute trips over one as he enters his redline. |
