100% damage to vehicles .. from a weapon that deals over 500 HP's of damage with 18 rounds , 5% damage increase from the warbarge , 10% from the commando bonus and another 15% against armor from the weapon it's self and that doesn't sound OP against vehicles ?

Breach MD becomes Minnie light AV option.

Swarm launcher has its damage profile changed to hybrid/rail, and becomes Caldari light AV option.

Laser rifle gains breach variant: same dps, but 100% efficiency against vehicles, but heats up faster. Amarr AV option.

Gallente keep the PLC, obviously.

Racial parity for AV achieved. Yay.

In EvE missiles can deal any of the four types of damage (EM, thermal, kinetic, explosive) and the Caldari have a particular affinity with kinetic-type warheads, so changing the swarm profile to hybrid-rail would be perfectly in keeping with the lore of the game.

hehehe

try again grasshopper.

The Breach would need a 140% (total damage) versus vehicles to even begin being considered a plausible threat if you gang up.

We'd be better off completely building a minmatar AV weapon from scratch.

A Laser Rifle AV weapon would work great if the heat buildup was on the target rather than on the weapon. Then CCP would just have to set it so that you had to keep the beam on the target for 2 seconds before it built to AV level damage. (With a longer time before overhead of the weapon.)

- Any weapon would kill Infantry in 2 seconds on target anyway, so not OP against Infantry.
- It is easier to keep a beam on a large target such as a HAV or Dropship (or parked/stuck LAV) so still effective against vehicles.
- Would have to have heat dissipate slowly, so that slipping off target for a fraction of a second does not reset heat.

Unfortunately this is probably not easy to implement, as it requires a debuff on the target. Its a shame though. I think if this mechanic could be made to work a lot could be done with it.
