I would say no.
When a tank wants to, turrets disappear quite quickly.

They're supposed to be a roadblock.

1. A roadblock is supposed to stop a vehicle from using a road, installations do not hence they are not a roadblock

2. Installations have 12000 HP yet no one uses them or defends them, they are WP hacking points at best and at worst useless and pointless

3. Installations are destroyed 1st by pilots because they are not defended by blues, are a WP hub for enemy players who will hack and in the case of the blaster will auto shoot you

4. HAV of today cannot handle an installation shooting at them while AV and or another vehicle shoots at them, Chrome HAV could take on 2 other HAV and a FG at the same time and win because of a more indepth a useful skill tree, better skill bonuses, better slot layouts, more PG/CPU, more variety of useful modules - None of this exists in todays game hence why they need to removed automatically

1. Roadblock doesn't necessarily literally mean a block on a rode, it's an expression.

2. I use/defend installations when the battle calls for it. You can't expect me to guard a random turret 24/7.

3. Ditto

4. That's quite stupid. It really is. The difference between STD and PRO infantry isn't that large, and with vehicles it should be no different. I'm glad that they got rid of tiering anyway.

1. Expression - Like a needle in a haystack

2. You should or the enemy will get it, if not why bother in the 1st place?

3. Same, use it or lose it

4. Yes it is, more PG/CPU/Slots but currently you are sat in your PROTO suit with PROTO weapon and PROTO modules while im in my BASIC suit since pilot suits do not exist with a BASIC hull and PROTO modules if i can fit all proto which sometimes i cannot and PROTO turret if it can be fitted - You really should say 'im happy they got rid of tiering for vehicles because i like COD in space' since obv tiering for infantry still exists since you can get PROTO and fit all PROTO on it

2. The enemy team too won't randomly get it until they have a use for it, in which case I have a reason to defend it

3. Ditto

4. Your "basic" hulls are balanced against proto weapons. Saying they're "basic" doesn't mean crap. Also, I am one of the earliest supporters of infantry tiercide.

I would say no.

Quickly? What quickly? An installation falls to a tank with XT-201 missiles on them in two volleys. Problem with the missile? 50m less range than the railgun.

It takes 7 rounds from particle cannon to destroy an installation, and that's without any interruption. After resuming, could be from 8 to 10 rounds to finish it.

No, they don't disappear quickly.

That's rather quick.

So, scratching my head about trying to figure out a place for vehicles on the battlefield without making them super dropsuits that massacre infantry without a care in the world, I thought of something.
Vehicles need a role, a reason to exist on the field, and so I thought: "What would make vehicles extremely valuable to infantry without having them be extreme killing machines?"

And then I realized: "Support vehicles"

If tanks are to hunt tanks, those original tanks need a reason to exist in the first place.
That was originally wrecking infantry, but as evidence shows, that's only fun for the pilots.
So we are in a position where vehicles don't really do much but "exist", and nobody bothers to bring their own vehicles to hunt them down since they're either not worth bothering with, or dispatched quickly with AV.

Imagine if Logi vehicles were highly tanky, to the point where infantry AV would require a long time and a lot of concentrated fire to take down.
Now imagine if said Logi vehicles provided powerful bonuses in an AOE to infantry: 100hp/s armor and shield regen, damage amplification, ammo resupply, mobile CRU, mobile supply depot, scanning, etc'.

You would want a way to get rid of them - You would WANT killer vehicles, vehicles designed to hunt other vehicles.
You would WANT to have armored control on the battlefield, so you could bring support vehicles with impunity.


This gives vehicles a reason to exist initially, and provides a target that infantry can't easily dispatch of.
This gives vehicles a reason to hunt down other vehicles.
This gives people a reason to want armored control of the field.
