Two critiques:

Assault HMG: let's just bite the bullet and make it 100% AV. take away the aim down sight and aim assist so it can be balanced to fight vehicles without becoming an infantry devouring god-monster. As I have said elsewhere I have a proposal for autocannon firing mechanics and stats if you are interested.

Plasma cannon: there is no problem the PLC has that can't be fixed by sharply reducing the reload and charge speeds. That alone will cure most ills.

Details in my sig.

reload will affect infantry effectiveness where as more damage won't, as it already OHK almost everyone

Only speaking on the PLC comment, I am very happy to see that you understand the Plamsa Cannon. As someone that thoroughly loves the cannon <3 I can agree with this.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a charge / reload speed increase for the base weapon..... Blink

but that might be a tad op. Only a tad though because "who uses the PLC" amirite? Roll

I love it when I get my entire squad to use a PLC. The funniest situation was where we were at a DOM, and a tank rolled up to the point, all of our squad mates were relatively close, I told them to all fire on the tank at once, and I got the funniest hatemail I've received in a while.

I'll let him argue that though. As for the vehicle names - they're not the final revised versions were supposed to be getting right? Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

Scrambler buff... Ok so no one in thier right mind runs shield fits as Armor>Shields... so lets buff the anti shield gun that no one is using since no one runs shields... Instead of 3 people running shields on the server there will be around 1... the problem is using the scrambler sucks against armor and EVERYONE IS RUNNING ARMOR... balance shields first then look at the scrambler rifle. Yo Rattati armor hardeners needed some love but going from 50% worse than shield hardeners to 50% better is swaying the pendulum pretty far in the direction of armor tanks. Infantry is already dominated by armor.. we want tanks doing the same thing? That duration is going to make running Incubus and armor HAVS the only option... 30% makes far more sense given how long they last. Shield tanks have like 900 armor that spells death to any weapon while armor tanks have like 1200 shields that is used as a buffer... while the regulators are a good start, without shield boosters being viable there are going to be A LOT of armor tanks. Myofibrils + RE spam is going to get old fast Dropsuit Shield and Armor tanking are currently at pretty good parity. Not quite. On 'high hp' fits and when there's any suit that has more than moderate shield delays, armor is king because armor reps never stop and can be augmented by repair tools. There are no shield reps and shield recharge is stopped by any and all damage, it doesn't matter how little. Commandos are in some dire need of shield rebalancing, and all shields need some sort of 'inhibition' value. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Nobody is listening to this particular rhetoric at CCP. It's not rhetoric if it's true Rattati, it's called arguing the point. Many of us find swarms so frustrating because they are mathematically guaranteed to hit. Its 'consistency' has often been a very frustrating point of balance, I remember 1.6 gameplay where I was shot down by swarm fire from the *other side of the map* by someone who went 'oh noes there's a dropship out time to grab a swarm and aggressively hold r1 at this thing that offends me while standing on a nanohive for forever!' The balance pendulum has swung many times on the swarm where it's gone from overpowered (pre 1.7) to useless (1.7 triple rep maddies) to powerful (hey it could kill tanks again!) to useless (dropships need only hit an afterburner to zoom away!) to powerful again (get too close to a swarm launcher and you are dead - user skill is irrelevant). Maybe it's time to re-think the weapon from the ground up as it's clear that its current form is fundamentally flawed from a balance standpoint. I'd love to see a swarm launcher that can be boiled down to a wordsoup of 'plasma cannon + av grenade lockon'. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.

Factually infantry lose more suits, Factually their suits cost considerably less than a vehicle, Factually they earn more WP and make more isk. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

Neither are a topic of Hotfix Echo. My apologies, I merely noticed a post and responded to the line of discussion it was following. Would you consider looking at something like this thread for the next patch/hotfix? On an unrelated note. I recently went through battle academy on an alt... Would you ever consider making 'frontline' suits heavies? One of the things I notice frequently with new players is that they tend to die before they ever realise what's shooting at them, or if they do realise what's shooting at them and from where, they die before they get to return fire.

That way a ADS actually could aim preciely and not do the "camera slingshot" where you tilt your thumbstick down and need to guess when to fire your turret.

Every race in eve makes their own missiles. Caldari make kinetic warheads, Minmatar explosive, Gallente Thermal and Amarr EM. Caldari are the most missile oriented, minmatar come second, amarr third (and they have some truly nasty missile ships) and gallente have almost none. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.
