Last game I watched as a tank turn on his armor hardeners and then take hits from 2 swarms and a blaster installation while his armor did not move from 100% until his hardener turned off and he ran away. |

A double-hardened armor tank is all but invincible while the hardeners are active; once down, however, it's going to be paper-thin. This is actually what Rattati was proposing way back with the wave of opportunity--a tank should briefly be able to come in and dominate things before having to withdraw to safety.

That makes for very ****** game play. Because you spawn in as AV and shoot at the tank hopelessly doing nothing. Then the tank runs to the other side of the map and you're stuck there again doing nothing cause there's now nothing to shoot at. |

So its safe to say that the whole entirety of the tankers in the game are now hit and run sissies?

easy to kill if you stalk them.
Also shoving a FG round or D-modded Rail Round up their bum goes a long way, does a hefty amount of damage before they get a chance to activate those hardeners.
Also note that a FG round gets more bonus damage then normal against the weak point of an HAV, over 170% even against shields, about double against armor, a single IAFG round to the engine block will absolutely trash a double-hardened HAV if you catch them by surprise, or even OHK if using a D-modded Breach.
It's also a good idea to start littering proximity REs around if you see people running dual-hardeners. Easy to kill with those.
When HAVing I always before hand suit up in my logi suit, packs a D-modded swarm, AV nades, and three groups of proxies (one of each kind). I kid you not I net an HAV and 3-4 LAVs every match this way just from the proxies I place in key locations.
Also to the HAVers out there, a single proxie will take out any and every JLAV due to triggering their REs with the splash. You can easily create "safe zones" this way as you can spread them hella thin if just warding against JLAVers. Insanely useful.

Lying.
Your HP does drop but a repper will bring it back up so while it takes no damage it is repping.

Sadly its cuz you AV guys have cried for so long to get tanks nerfed.. Too bad you don't get a free 150 WP anymore you actually have to work for it. Imagine that, actually having to use teamwork for once.

The point is 3 ppl shooting at the tank became worthless. Then the tank ran to the red line and the AV ppl sat around with fingers up thier bum, again worthless. Until the tank returned, but his hardners where back up now, again the 3 ppl shot hopelessly till they ran out of ammo. That's stupid game play. |

Not lying, just not exactly whats happening.
As you said, he's dealing damage, but not enough to even matter to regen. He might as well NOT be taking damage at that point.
I'm personally fine with it. If a tank pops hardeners and tries to sit on a point, I just drop a Nanohive and start spamming Lai Dais.
The tank is going to move.

Doing some quick math, if running dual hardeners and dual complex reppers on a maddie, you are effectively regaining a bit more then 460 EHP/sec armor wise.

Though they need magnetic seeking BS taken out because if you can't hit a HAV you need to uninstall.

I run with 2 gunners in my HAV.
It should take 3 people to try and combat me.
So he pops out with the hardeners back on, that is smart piloting, do you really expect pilots to dual AV which can pop a basic HAV with no hardener on in about a clip?
AV has had its fun in the sun for about 2.5 years and still does where DS are concerned, AV is not the be all and end all button that it currently is.

AV is hard to hit with a gimped blaster, so OP while they get weapons which do all the aiming for them.
I agree AV should not be invincible.

They can though if using the right gear, either nail him while his hardeners are on cooldown, sucker punch him with only a handful of proxies, or use three HAVs which will certainly break his tank, or set yourself up while he's shooting up the town to nail him when he disengages (going back to the first method), or see how well his tank holds up against three IAFGs from three people who don't suck at aiming.
Alternatively, ram a JLAV up his bum, using a few REs if you can get him without hardeners, or "go nuts" with REs if he is running hardeners. Nothing can survive a "stacked" JLAV.
This is assuming he's running a pair of hardeners, if he's running just one then a couple of AV (or one really tricked out one) can certainly force him to leave.

Everything Dies wrote:A double-hardened armor tank is all but invincible while the hardeners are active; once down, however, it's going to be paper-thin. This is actually what Rattati was proposing way back with the wave of opportunity--a tank should briefly be able to come in and dominate things before having to withdraw to safety. And yet with 2 armor hardeners on and one enhanced 120 plate and complex heavy rep just one swarmer can destroy my tank before the hardeners get on cooldown if I don't kill that swarmer, what fit that swarmer is using however I do not know.
2 hardeners active and proxies can still hit for 14k damage, done by a single player. And remotes on a jihad can hit for 11k.
2 hardeners active and 2 swarmers will kill you if you are using the fit I mentioned earlier and you don't manage to kill them first.
2 hardeners active and even forges hit for way over 2k if they hit the weakspot, for how much over 2k and with what type of forges I cannot say, what I can say is that I had 2.1k armor left and 2 hardeners on and a single Gastun's forge hit killed me.
So double hardened tanks are still more than possible to kill, even solo. It's just that AV players want all vehicles popping instantly as they just look at them.
EDIT: If you guys don't believe me I will just go out there and record how things are and make a montage out of it. Maybe.

Well, why did he nerf triple shield hardened vehicles? That's the real question Because you can rotate 3 shield hardeners to keep them on constantly, you can do the same with 2 armor hardeners, but armor harderners never had 60% damage resistance from a single hardener.

Just because you're in a tank doesn't mean you're invincible to infantry, in fact infantry is the greatest threat to tanks. Why? Because they can pop out from anywhere and 1-2 shot your ass and there's not a damn thing you can do about it if you don't have your own infantry support.

He isn't disputing that though, he is saying that naturally he's only going to engage with hardeners on, and that no one sane would do it with them off because AVers will pop you. He wasn't disputing how many "clips or shots" it shoudl take to kill an HAV with hardeners off, he was acknowledging that they ARE a threat.
It seems you're bringing in baggage from other "Us VS Them" threads into here, cut that crap out.

I guess it would have something do with balance. Tanks are huge targets out there unable to hide very well and have most of the relevant areas in maps denied from them. Infantry are small and can easily place themselves in positions where tanks cannot possibly hurt them but they then can easily combat those tanks regardless.
And there's no such thing as aim assist for tanks so hit detection is horrible and tanks cannot usually strafe and stuff to avoid infantry from hitting those huge hitboxes. Not to mention those fire and forget swarms that do the aiming for you, as if you really needed any more help to hit those huge hitboxes.
I mean, if infantry and tanks were remotely alike then yeah, I guess multiple AV kills per AV weapon clip would be balanced, but as your chance to miss is so low unless you just suck at this game, I don't see why you would need to 1 shot tanks with AV weapons so you can have your multiple AV kills per clip.
Anyway, what do I know? I'm stupid.
