I-Shayz-I I----------I 5552	Posted - 2015.05.09 06:55:00 - [1] - Quote This thing tears holes in tanks. You know how the Sentinel description says "can stand toe to toe with HAVs"? Yeah, I had tanks running away from ME today. Tank destruction count so far: 6 Got cocky and lost an archduke to a quafe shotgun while chasing after a tank...still fun as hell though! Need to spec into some proper AV grenades now 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

Need to spec into some proper AV grenades now sadly even half decent fits will just rep through your damage. i mean i destroyed some tanks with my AHMG but when it comes to actual tank fits, no chance at all :/

VAHZZ 1837	Posted - 2015.05.09 07:08:00 - [4] - Quote I actually have prof V in HMG and Amarr Sent, frequently bust out proto assault sentinel when I get pissed, always use an AHMG on that fit. I have yet to try it on tanks, I mean when dropships fly low trying to take my point, I rip through them because they are paper thin and all, but I have yet to try an AHMG on a tank. Next time I'm on, most likely monday, I will have to try and make an AHMG AV fit. "I bring nothing; I bless nothing, I save nothing, I just; erase. Completely. Shatter."

Though I did kill mostly shield tanks, and only when their hardeners were down...I still scared off a good handful of maddys. The shields on them drop in a split second, so they instantly pop their modules and run away. That in itself is worth it to me. I think the alpha from a proto AV grenade could definitely improve my chances of downing a Maddy though 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

But smart HAV fits content yourself with scaring them unless there is multiple AV There's never enough sh**posting going on, so let's add a few more teaspoons of the guy posting after me to the recipie!

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 22235	Posted - 2015.05.09 08:36:00 - [7] - Quote It's so much fun when they underestimate you and come out of hardening close by. Triple kill Maddie the other day, Lai Dais and AHMG. "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Kallas Hallytyr Skullbreakers 1522	Posted - 2015.05.09 08:50:00 - [8] - Quote I've been having strange issues with the efficacy ratings. Playing last night, my STD AHMG only read as single digit efficacy against various types of vehicle, including LAVs, at very short (0-20m) ranges, while my squadmate was reading in the 50's at 90m. I tried various tiers of AHMG, but I haven't noticed any distance. What kind of efficacies are they supposed to have, for reference? Alt of Halla Murr. Sentinel.

Himiko Kuronaga Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 5886	Posted - 2015.05.09 11:09:00 - [12] - Quote This weapon feels closest to the chromosome HMG. Actually has some range to it. Thats not a bad thing. Usually banned for being too awesome.
Sergeant Sazu Mantodea MC 448	Posted - 2015.05.09 11:32:00 - [13] - Quote I'm having fun taking down tanks with it too, but... Shouldn't it just have it's usual 85/115 efficiency and have proficiency apply? Having it at 100% all the time makes Gunnlogis even weaker, and Madrugars shrugging it off as usual. Either way, it's a solid weapon. Honestly I do better with it vs. infantry than the regular HMG.

Dead Cavino Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 65	Posted - 2015.05.09 11:36:00 - [14] - Quote Do you get damage points with the AHMG? Even if you don't get the finishing blow? I know you don't with small blasters I don't like two-legged things.

Either way, it's a solid weapon. Honestly I do better with it vs. infantry than the regular HMG. The profile is the way it is because if it wasn't, it couldn't stop shield regen. Simply increasing the damage further would make it ridiculous against infantry. This was a good compromise, and truthfully an AHMG still shouldnt be wrecking tanks all that much. It happens to bad tankers im sure but it requires all of half a second for a tank to back out of its effective range. Usually banned for being too awesome.

But it's really simple tito move out of range as optimal is only about 40m and the gun will overheat before it kills you unless you stick around while it cools or he puts every round between the HAVs buttcheeks for a lead enema. The ahmg is an excellent LAV killer. It can make an ADS panic and back off. But it is not a primaary AV weapon. But I can't complain about that because it's fking fun to use.

It happens to bad tankers im sure but it requires all of half a second for a tank to back out of its effective range. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I don't stop shield regen on a Gunnlogi, I just significantly outpace it. And my point with the 100% profile is that it widens the disparity between shield and armor tanks. And yes, I agree it shouldn't wreck tanks. A weapon that can kill everything should be mediocre at both tasks. (FG and PLC are skill-shot, so the same rule doesn't apply to the same degree.)

Need to spec into some proper AV grenades now Edit: Best way to **** off an ADS? Use an AHMG ;) Shayz killed myself and a friend of mine in a Madrugar yesterday. He had help, but he was still the one who got the kill credit. That gun is no joke. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

Triple kill Maddie the other day, Lai Dais and AHMG. So it's ok when infantry have a weapon that kills vehicles and infantry effectively, but not ok if there was a turret that could effectively kill just infantry. God's wrath upon HAVs if it could kill both infantry and vehicles effectively. "By His light, and His will"- The Scriptures, 12:32

Considering the fact that after a few kills half of the enemy team is coming at you with AV, and you're risking a hell of a lot more than anyone else on the field... well, yes.

I've been there, pissing off 5+ people and wondering why the team isn't pushing. I'm just not a fan of that cycle even when it works. It's very rage inducing and has made both sides hate eachother. As an AVer, I'm still having PTSD from 1.7. I dislike the idea of someone killing without consequence and getting away with it. And when I tank, I resent the the angry mobsters that follow me endlessly and somehow still hold all the points. I have a vision for V/AV balance, and it involves small blasters being awesome. I might make a thread. [56.0m SP, Next skill: Minmatar Sentinel 5] Veteran Assault - Expert Logibro - Aspiring Minja - Speedy Sentinel
