You read it correctly.
Hector Carson wrote:.......I think Nova Knives being able to do damage to a tank is unrealistic and shouldn't be even possible, it's like taking a combat knife to an Abrams tank......broke the knife on the armor. Now doing damage to the shields is believable.
If you make Nova Knives capable to destroy tanks I am going to rate this game as a joke
NKs have been able to destroy vehicles for some time now. HF FoxFour will simply enhance that aspect.
Also, NKs are not run-of-the-mill knives. You should read the item description in-game. A good paraphrase was also provided by a poster ITT:
Maitue Mae wrote:Lore-wise, the Nova Knife collects plasma along the edge of the "blade". You don't stab people with the knife itself, you use the equivalent of a plasma torch to pierce through their armour, which is why you have to charge it up to get more damage, because you are acquiring more plasma. So, it is explained that it can do the exact same thing to a tank.
chill penguin wrote:The Nova Knife is a Mordu innovation. Mordu's Legion took the Caldari ceremony knife and imbued it with Gallente Plasma Tech that the freed Intaki brought with them. While Intaki are considered Gallente, the Gallente have been known to be harsh and slave drivers towards Intaki. So, when Mordu's Legion came along, the Intaki that left renounced their Gallente titles. Therefore, raven is right, a nova knife can rekt a tank. Not relevant, but i wanted to give a little history lesson.
Citation on NK history? I'm aware of how NKs are described to work, lore-wise, but I've never seen any background information on how they came about show up.

Knives would be most beneficial as an openning charge strike before switching to an MD and myo jumping away while blasting the weak spot to prevent being caught in the explosion.
Otherwise you will most likely be blown up.
However, if I could ever manage to raptor jump a DS, it would be worth it.
Yes, the AHMG and the MD family are getting full efficiency versus vehicles as well.
Also, it's been established that standing atop the turret of a tank will allow you to avoid the explosion damage from melee'ing or knifing the tank. So, you can in fact stab a tank to death without dying to the deathsplosion of the tank.
