I am thinking something for non-heavy players that wamt to Take a av course something akin to the spartan laser in hslo but better mabey shoulder launched or just an oversized ar type weapon , mabey something that fires a.solid lasrr like mech warrior lasers not just a short burst bit after a sustained shot ot would have a lengthy cooldawn? Any thoughts? I just dont think you should have to be a heavy to be av

Use a Swarm Launcher. The drawback for using a weapon devestating to vehicles is wearing a Heavy suit. Plenty of options for other though, theres the AV grenades, Remote Explosives, and Swarms. |

How does that make sense?
Also, Laser Rifles are coming. They're going to be anti-shield weapons more than anti-armour, and we don't know many details yet, but they're coming. No word on what size they'll be either, as far as I can see.
But as already mentioned, light AV means Swarm Launcher. |

It makes sense in the fact that assault "works"every other class already so why not give them a anti-vehicle laser too.Why not?

Hmmm, a heavy AV laser that can cause constant damage. Now the big problem I see is how would you balance it so it's not op, besides the fact that it is restricted to heavies only. |

and people using it on infantry.....and the crying about that.
YA no thanks this would be a bad idea.Sorry but like I said heavies already carry one(Forge Gun) and ask anyone who has been hit by one(infantry) and ask them if they survived.The Forge is balanced because of camera shake,its reload time,charge time,and the fact that the slowest unit in the game carries it. Assault does not need an AV laser.

it would help. i usually kill marauders with my RE's because they're so freaking annoying (especially on towers), but i've noticed that, at least for me, the RE's don't attach to tanks. this is a feature that must be implemented to satisfy the trolls. |

I'd be ok with an AV laser that's either a heavy or light weapon that is manually aimed and has a clear laser beam back to the person firing it.
I'm very much against a sidearm AV weapon though. |

You replied to someone asking for a NON-Heavy weapon that does AV, and you suggested the only current AV weapon that DOESN'T fit that definition. That's what I was questioning, and it's not something your "answer" is at all relevant to. |

Nothing like the Spartan laser please. It would be horrendous to be against for infantry, especially if it fired for a little while.
I'm hoping the laser rifles will be more like the blasters from Star Wars. |

Wouldn't an AV laser be kind of useless against tanks? Most of them seem to have negligible shielding and heavy armor plating. What about some kind of web laser that dramatically reduces the vehicle's mobility for as long as the shooter can keep the beam on it, leaving it vulnerable to swarms and forge guns?

i thought the AR's we already have were more like those kind of weapons. they're supposed to be highly charged plasma in a magnetic bubble, which, while not a laser, has a lot the same effect, i'm thinking. they just look like simple projectile weapons, i think, for the sake of simplicity. now if there's a difference between the plasma weapons that i believe the AR's are and blasters, that's due to ignorance on my part. i know lasers and plasma weapons are different beasts altogether, though.
EDIT: and if i'm splitting hairs over semantics, i apologize, that was not my intent. |

Tractor Beam! Mount it on the MCC and draw dropships towards it like the Millenium Falcon towards the Death star! |
