Well-built tanks aren't underpowered.
Militia tanks and bad fits are underpowered. I've gone up against two differently-built Madrugars in one match with my Militia Swarm Launcher.
I soloed one, and got steamrolled by the other. Why? Because one was badly built.
Also, a lot of people insist that Missiles are the only weapons you should equip on vehicles in the current build, but a good Railgun tank is one of the best AV weapons you can field. You just need your gunners to know not to waste their shots on infantry when they have a tank or LAV to aim for.
EDIT: And in most cases Swarms only avoid obstacles when the user knows how to curve their shots. It's not just point-and-shot and everything hits. |

They apparently come out of nowhere (they can be fired through a rather narrow peek-hold apparently), track you forever and dodge obstacles when you try and run. They also seem to two-shot my surya.
If you're being two-shotted, there are AT LEAST two people firing simultaneous salvoes (so you're being hit by FOUR waves of missiles, not just two), and if you're being hit through pinholes, then the people using them are firing over/around obstacles (which can be done by good Swarm users) by curving the shots. Also, if you're dying that fast, you're staying too close to the shooters without finding and killing them.
Good AV guys are MEANT to be a threat, and as a good AV guy, I'm glad we can achieve that. |

I'm apparently the ultimate DUST hipster then.
When everyone was crying nerf about vehicles, I was already running AV, and I had barely touched any vehicles at all for myself. I was backing up the tank drivers and Dropship pilots against claims of OP-ness and saying they're not that bad, while giving advice (from experience) on how to deal with them as infantry.
Now that everyone's crying about them being underpowered, I've started using them, and I'm poking holes in those arguments too.
Vehicles aren't perfectly balanced this build, a few things need tweaking, but there isn't a significant imbalance EITHER way. |
