Ive just seen that the damage efficency has beeing upped to 100%. So 3 proto AV nades and then mow down a tank with it? The av nades are required to get trough the 102HP shield recharge threshold. Im concerned that every heavy that uses a assault HMG will become a universal factor thats effective vs everything in the game. And yes the assault HMG has allmost compareable DPS like a large blaster.
Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

Its range will still be shorter, overall, than other AV weapons (AHMG 63; FG 300; Swarms 175 lock/400 travel; PLC 200) though it will likely apply better than the PLC due to projectile speed.
PLC needs work as an AV weapon, I don't think the issue will be the AHMG specifically.

Almost sounds like a heavy weapon.

The AHMG will be the equivalent of strapping a bufors cannon to a infantry during WWII. I don't mind that it can do some damage to HAV's.
Also, name one rifle that can seriously damage a HAV.

Hmm even at Optimal, 63m is pretty short range for an AV weapon. I think we'll see it being pretty effective in close quarters but struggling to do much out in the open.

I think we will be seeing speed tanked heavies with AHMG's everywhere.
Because, that's why.

It won't be useful against HAVs except as a deterrent - two or three AV-nade wielding AHMG users could do some serious damage, especially now that AV nades have been buffed - the grenades' short range isn't as much of an issue when you've the HMG to deal the finishing blow at a longer distance.
Guys, we need to stop calling MU a 'matchmaker' when it's actually a 'teambuilder'.
And I want to play FE:A now. Damn.

A longstanding issue that Dust kept flirting with is that if something is AV then it shouldn't be effective versus infantry. A lot of times this was to following the "disarm" mantra as a role of vehicle. By pulling out a vehicle and forcing infantry to switch to AV you diminish their power to deal with all other threats on the field.
I for one am glad to see us slowly move away from a hardline approach.

first off, this thing is worse vs infantry than the regular HMG and will probably overheat long before it does anything significant to vehicles
and to everyone QQing about rifles killing tanks... this isnt a rifle... its not even an HMG - its an Autocannon. |

I am also still laughing at the fact that he said small arms weapons do damage against vehicles....all 3% of it...
As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP
