Lai Dai's are a problem but I think AV is pretty balanced, unless you don't use hardeners or stay in one place you will very likely not die to any singular player. |

Are you saying that when you are not doing good at tanking...
A. Tanks should cost less
B. AV should nerf itself when you get stuck
C. When you stop a forge unity loses its bonus
D. Not search the forums for cheap effective tank fits that people share
E. You are unable to ask for the help many people would offer because testosterone?
Ask, don't blast.

As a tanker (both maddy and Gunny) and AV-er (PC and lai-Dais), I have to disagree.
Tanks and AV imho are close to balanced. The biggest problem is double hardened tanks. And those are mostly maddys. Tanks aren't to hard to destroy really. I've lost multiple proto tanks to well fitted tanks and AV-ers working as a team.
1 hardener is enough to deal with 1-2 AV ers. Anything more and the tank is basically meant to be destroyed. If the tank survives, it's usually a double hardened maddy and is op. And that's where the problem arises.

AV is fine other than swarms vs ADS..one hit and you lose control..hold l1 and press r1 and it follows you what 400-500m? Yeah that takes no skill and is the most effective against my ads..think that needs fixed or ads missile splash radius increased, no more floppy |

1. Don't stay in one spot long enough for someone with Lai Dai's to run up on you.
2. Don't drive your tank around in areas that leave you vulnerable. |

balanced my ass....
should not need hardeners in the first place.
what should a tank do.. keep infantry running scared and pinned down. vehicles should be making waves on the battle.
an essential tool to push enemies back. defend and reinforce points.
aswell as provide mobile cover for attacking and defending infantry.
if av can easily eliminate vehicles from a completely safe area. such as a roof top spammed with uplinks. then it should take alot to take said vehicles down.
force av out to actually risk themselves if they want to blow vehicles up quickly they need to get next to it and hit it in the weak points.
for that to even be risky large blaster needs some of its old accuracy back
and missiles and rails need a better blast radius. as it is the only time they can inflict any form of harm is when well..they are completely ignored and nothing done to deal with them.
great potential is always there..
it just has yet to be realized

Someone misses the demi-god tanks we had from 1.7 to hotfix alpha. But yeah, tanks should have non-AV infantry running scared just as AV-infantry should have non-hardened vehicles running scared just as non-AV infantry should have AV infantry running scared. By the way, good drivers/pilots still make waves and there's quite a few matches where a team will get redlined because of the enemies vehicles making such big waves that most of the team switches to AV to deal with them and then get mopped up by the enemy infantry.
We seen what happens when vehicles don't fear AV. Even someone horrible at tanking like myself could sit in a sica/soma with just one militia hardener on it right out in the open, mowing down infantry with the only thing to fear being multiple proto assault forge guns, jihad jeeps, and better tankers. Slap on another hardener, cycle them or run them at the same time, pfft only better tankers and big horn unicorns were a threat. Sh!t, a triple hardened gunny could take two double damage modded rail sicas hitting it at the same time without taking damage. One day I felt like being an ******* and jumped into the academy with a sica, went almost 47-49/0 (it was the high 40's I remember that much) and the random gunner that jumped in at the start of the match had over 20 kills before he jumped out we probably could have gotten a hell of a lot more if I hadn't of redlined them (and I do mean my sica alone redlined them) before half the match was over. Spent half the match spinning around in circles in front of the enemy redline letting them hit me with swarms and LAV's and only had to activate the hardener & booster every now and then and that was only because of the LAV's ramming into me. The swarms, bah-ha-ha, which of course they were militia, but still I had at least 5 or 6 of them shooting me and yet they still weren't a threat. Hell it probably would have taken that many proto swarms (at this point proto swarms had been nerfed into doing as much damage as militia had been doing before it was nerfed as well) to have been a threat when my modules were on cool down.
The only people that liked that were people that needed a crutch, even real tankers didn't like it that much because of the influx of FOTM seekers because vehicles took as much skill as pissing on the ground does. The balance ain't perfect but it's as close to perfect as Dust's AV vs Vehicles has ever been.
Most of what I see around here is just a bag of dicks in need of some kicks.

If you're using a Gunnlogi or Gladius and you have your skills maxed, try using a Regulator, 2x Hardeners, and a Booster.
The twin Hardeners will reduce incoming damage significantly, and the Booster only regenerates base HP, meaning that while AV has to do a lot more damage to you, you can get most of your HP back with the press of a button. The Regulator will let you start recharging faster between fights.
Corporal Axton always used a setup like that back before we got the slot buff to HAVs, and it was pretty deadly. Obviously we didn't have regulators back then, but even in fights against rep-stacking Madrugars he could manage to come out on top.

I cannot believe that people say AV is too powerful.
It is not rare to see a double hardened maddy sit in the middle of the battlefield not even moving and ignoring damage.

Blasters- as of right now are complete trash. I've literally seen SOOOO many redberry's just stand in front of my blaster without taking so much as 1hp worth of damage, meanwhile I'm overheating trying to kill just one of the 5 standing in front of me (that's holding down the trigger, not tapping, single fire actually gives a million times better hit detection) it seriously needs a boost to either overheat or accuracy or range....something, its just not competitive anymore.
Missiles- cant really say much, seem about as useful and useless as ever, I do find it absolutely hilarious that a mass driver has a splash radius of a bajillion meters but a giant missile being shot out of a turret has 1/10th the blast radius, but whatever. They are useful versus armor tanks
Rail- OP as **** against infantry if youre a worth a **** shot, OP against any other tank turret. I've popped proto tank after proto tank with a sica militia rail so many times it's a blasphemy.
Gunnlogi- Currently the plasma cannon is RAPING! gunny's. But at least they have to actually aim!!!!!! (swarms are for scrubs anyway) Swarms are still far too effective against shield vehicles.
Madrugar- The better of the two....thats just fact. I like the gunny but the maddy survives so much better (armor hardeners last almost twice as long as shield hardeners {for whatever reason}) and the rep rate of the maddy beats shield regen any day of the week, but it does have one downside, no shields to boost, oh wait! maddy with a shield boost and a heat sink and two hardeners can survive anything unless youre just a scrub tanker, the shield boost on the maddy is sooooooo OP. By the time you cut through the shields again theyre repped all the way back up
LAI DAI- OVERPOWERED! And I wish I could hate myself for saying it, but they are, 2 lai dais wreck anything not hardened, 3 and a plasma wrecks the damn enemy MCC FFS! I used to not worry about them as much but now all I ever see AV players doing is running at me with a LAI DAI in hand, it's the go-to AV weapon and ANYONE (except commandos) can use them. They've completely replaced RE's and Proxies, ****...just throw down a lai dai and wait for a tank to roll by, they stay on the ground for forever.

I don't know about that, I use a quafe forge on a regular basis and the only things it has a chance to kill in terms of vehicles are crappy LAVs and poorly piloted and ill-fit craptanks.
Any time there is anything reasonable out there on the battlefield I almost feel that a protoforge is mandatory. Sometimes I feel only the Alldins and Gastuns forges offer me the firepower I need to take on GOOD tanks and derps. (Anecdotal of course) |

Edit.
First off. If its a caldari tank then yeah. Av tears it apart.
Madrugars, totally different story.
Retreating is a valid tactic seeing a fully fit proto tanks cost more than one million isk,so why take chances?
Lia dai av grenades still need to be thrown correctly because of smaller seek range.
Swarms were also nerfed recently. Shorter lock on range and something about the missile guidance.
Forge guns are meant to be used versus tanks.
And there is such a thing as a weak spot.
And as far as I can glean from your babble,you can't avoid the swarms,av grenades and forge guns,and you want them nerfed.
And continuing even more. It seems like you are just being double teamed. Its called pick your engagements.
Put more skill points into tanks and ask for tips in the locker room part of the forums.
What the hell planet are you living on. The Caldari HAV is almost invulnerable to all forms of AV excepting the Plasma Cannon and makes for the best Heavy Support or Anti Infantry Tank due to sheer resistance power against kinetic and explosive AV forms which of course are by far the most common.
Might not be as great in Tank vs Tank due to the Madrugar's broken heavy repair modules but damn if a dual hardened Gunlogi with a pair of gunners won't **** on literally everything in the game.

A few points throw my hat in for the "it's just fine" side of the argument.
Keep it simple fellas
A dropsuit turns a meatsack infantryman into a 2-legged cyborg-like half-tank. Infantry in dust are effing dangerous critters, and much more durable in relation to a tank than is a modern infantryman. I would guess that a non-dropsuit fit infantryman would not even be able to carry or operate equivalent weaponry.
Tankers who dedicate time, money and tremendous become SKILLED into their tanks should be able to make a very dangerous, force multiplying vehicle fit that has both serious durability - and an Achille's heel. Both shield and armor tanks can be fit this way.
It only takes coordination of SKILLED AV infantry to take down any tank. But they must coordinate. It's perfect.
Same is true of dropships. An ADS is a strike platform. A regular DS is a deployment platform. They each do their job very well, and can be fit and flown appropriately. A SKILLED pilot who knows his ship and his enemy can make very good use of the tanky deployment dropships and the dogfighting or infantry sweeping ADS fits.

I honestly think AV is in a near-perfect place at the STD/ADV level, but PRO is still a touch too strong; swarms now have a palpable "bubble" of effective range which means you can only chase off a DS when it's in your immediate vicinity, and against tanks you'll need a good fifteen seconds of clean line of sight to have a chance of taking them out, which leaves the AVer quite vulnerable. Which makes PLC's an interesting choice. because they can pop in and out of cover and cause tanks serious issues.
Things still to address:
Swarms rendering properly for pilots.
PLC still missfires occassionaly.
Breach Mass driver is still terrible against vehicles. Needs to be reworked.
Amarr AV. PLEASE.
Breach and assault variants of PLC would be kind.

AV should be effective, but a SINGLE proto swarm user with Hives on a roof and fire support renders any vehicles USELESS! If you're not running proto mods or stacking armor proto swarms on average will destroy tanks, DS and ADS in under 2 volleys. I've had SEVERAL repeated experiences being shot down while my hardner is up in 2 rounds of a proto swarms, I've got multiple screen shots of 2 rounds doing 5000+ damage and following me in excess of 800 meters... They are sitting pretty right now.
I started using militia swarms and even though I dont destroy vehicles as fast, I'm as effective at keeping them far away from our blueberries.
Anyone who denies the power of swarms hasn't consistently piloted vehicles outside of proto tanks. |

If tanks are limited to 1 hardener in the future, and they should for truly balanced AV to tank, tank prices should drop a bit. 1.3m for a whole proto tank is too much compared to 50k and 15k for proto plasma and lai dais. balanced my ass.... should not need hardeners in the first place. what should a tank do.. keep infantry running scared and pinned down. vehicles should be making waves on the battle. an essential tool to push enemies back. defend and reinforce points. aswell as provide mobile cover for attacking and defending infantry. if av can easily eliminate vehicles from a completely safe area. such as a roof top spammed with uplinks. then it should take alot to take said vehicles down. force av out to actually risk themselves if they want to blow vehicles up quickly they need to get next to it and hit it in the weak points. for that to even be risky large blaster needs some of its old accuracy back and missiles and rails need a better blast radius. as it is the only time they can inflict any form of harm is when well..they are completely ignored and nothing done to deal with them. Someone misses the demi-god tanks we had from 1.7 to hotfix alpha.
damn right i miss 1.7 tanks.
i didnt run those hardener fits though. i ran a 512.5 hps triple reps maddy as it was more fun. and a glass cannon gunny and sica at times when other people started spamming them.
there were a lot more viable tank fits in 1.7.
which meant even the newberries could hop in and actually help the team rather than pad some1 elses kdr.
though due to the rep speed my tank fit could be considered almost immune to most solo av.
which was just some guy throwing a few av nades at me. or a lone swarm launcher.
2 forgers and you could kiss my tank good bye though.
it could stand up to par with a lot of other fits as well. as i faced a proto hardened blaster maddy during that time period as well.
and ill say that was the longest tank brawl in dust history.
it only ended when the other guy screwed up with modules or had a bug of some sort and started running for the hills as i pursued and finally killed him.
id say that was the only time my tank did run out of ammo. course i also had a terrain advantage and could back up to hide from his turret which melted my armor down to about 500 hp left before he over heated or had to stop to cool down.
though it was hard countered by missile tanks. or orbitals. or 2 persistent dedicated av players. which almost no1 bothered to pull out during that time period. through my experience.
great potential is always there..
it just has yet to be realized

The core issue at the heart of AV balance is that nobody knows whether it should work when it's operating solo within a team or whether it needs to be used in small coherent groups that rely on teamwork and communication as much as they rely on base stats and raw effectiveness. Clearly, the latter option sounds more intertesting and dynamic, and therefore fun, but as a dedicated solo player I feel as though a PLC, used properly, *should* be a match for enemy armour, and I should be rewarded for using it skillfully. Rewarded....with *explosions.*

Blegh.... a Rep-Tanked HAV based off of passive modules that requires no acitvation or skill to employ.
1.7 was the end of enjoyable vehicles.
