Spkr, I'll address you once you actually read my post. When did I say anything about disadvantages for Pilot suits?

You're sounding like everybody else on here, treating me like a child and second class citizen.

I read the post, and responded how I saw best.

I never said you said anything about disadvantages with pilot suits, you mentioned Pokey's thread with the Google doc, and in it, he put disadvantages while using the pilot suit.

That is literally the worst idea I've ever seen for vehicles in any game with vehicles I've played.

That means that a) nobody will skill into the pilot suit, and b) nobody will skill into the pilot suit.

I hate to say it Spkr, but stop acting like a child and people will stop treating you like one.

I'm not the one that acts like a child. I don't yell out "it shot me nerf it" on here like infantry does for months straight when it comes to vehicles. I can destroy anybody in the game, yet they all have trouble with terrible fit tanks with terrible pilots. It's not "damn, this guy here is so difficult to take out, it makes me angry."

If they're having trouble using PRO AV against academy grads in Somas and Sicas, then the problem isn't with the vehicle.

Problem is, they're not going against Academy grads with PRO AV and failing. They're going against cowards who've been playing the game for months (if not years at this point) who are simply using the HAV as a Slayer suit exoskeleton for their Starter Fit.

Academy grads are so unskilled with vehicles that they are a non-issue (except possibly those who know what they are doing and are tanking on a smurf account).

Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

If a LAV is released with a primary combat roll, it should gain a forward facing, driver controlled gun. Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

Academy grads are so unskilled with vehicles that they are a non-issue (except possibly those who know what they are doing and are tanking on a smurf account). Not all Tank Operators accused of using Tanks as Slayer suits are trying to use them as such...the primary purposes I use HAVs for are Anti-Vehicle, Battle-Bus, Mobile Wall, Suppression, and as a Distraction Carnifex. Sometimes when I'm working on the suppression roll though, people don't get the concept of not running directly at the tank through its line of fire (I don't know why) and this allows me (and my small gunners) to rack up an impressive K/D (not to mention the WP). There have also been times where proto AVers decide to charge me head on. I know when I run my footsloggin AV suits I stay out of site until there is no way my prey will escape (unless that prey is a maddy, no reason to hide from most maddy's) My point is (anecdotal or not) the only times I've gotten any sort of "Fan Mail" for my tanking against footsloggers is when I've been shooting at pretty much the same place for the better part of a minute, and people still try to charge out through there... Also, there is nothing wrong with using a starter fit to operate a vehicle...(just as there's nothing wrong with putting a Wiyrkomi Swarm launcher on a Starter AV suit...or any BPO suit for that matter) Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper. I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.
