I'm really confused, dropships are so incredibly easy to down now and tanks can be easily destroyed with two people. So why are there even more jihadists? Is av still to hard?
AV is still too crappy to reliably kill a moderately well driven vehicle. Jihad vehicles are a symptom of ineffective AV.
I think its hilarious that people get mad at jihad jeeps when its obvious that the only reason you're upset is that its the only thing that poses any kind of threat. There's one thing that can kill you, so it must be an exploit!
"Tanks can be easily destoryed with two people"
Tell that to the forgers in PCs who have to deal with 6k hp hardened gunlogis that take 8+ forge shots to down.
Its not the av that's bad, its the player. Av is really good right now, solo you can force vehicles away and if they are "moderately well driven" they leave, because if they stay they die. No jihad vehicles are a symptom of ineffective av players.
If av wasn't a threat to vehicles then why do vehicles run when being hit by av? Were they bored? If I don't leave the second an invisible swarm hits me in my complex fit python I'm a dead man. So av thinks "man I just need to instant kill him, swarms are taking too long" so they call in a dropship and ram me. If he had a buddy with him, even a mlt swarm my dropship is dead, its that easy. If I get rammed I usually send them a message saying thanks for the complement. I had a reply from one guy saying,
"Oh I have a proto minmando, I just didn't want to switch and a suicide dropship let me stay scout" proto vehicles are an afterthought while you can instant kill them for a fraction of the isk.
I think its equally hilarious that av thinks it should always win solo simply because they have av, and that a OHK on a complex fit vehicle is right in their mind.
So your telling me that in PC the side trying to deal with the tank doesn't call out for another swarm/forge to help kill it? Or call in their own tank to kill it? I mean that's one of, if not THE primary role of armor.... I thought PC was about teamwork and organization? Oh well I know its a joke but wow.
