It's not a balance issue. I've managed to make a sagaris hide underneath the building I was on, when I was equipped with a swarm launcher. Alone. I died a few times trying to get him, but I managed to make him stay in one place for most of the game. I even blew him up once, but he spawned another. |

@Ackie.
Re the war in Afghanistan. Look up the Challenger 2 tank. Only two losses have been recorded. One was friendly fire, and I can't remember what the other one was. Alrighty, now let's get onto the good part.
One Challenger 2 tank took 50 recorded RPG, recoil-less rifle and other anti-tank weapon hits, and survived with cosmetic damage. OP much?
I carry around a proto swarm launcher, and regularly take out suryas, dropships, LAV's, AND make sagaris's hide from me. That's solo, not even with someone else helping. |

Ackie, you brought up Iraq :)
No, there were 120 in the initial invasion. Only one loss has been recorded, from friendly fire, and only one has been seriously damaged. The "seriously damaged" one was from a shaped IED, and it blew three of the driver's toes off and caused minor injuries to another crew member.
This was in Iraq, where it was ******'s elite guard who were trying to blow up the tank, not the taliban. There are plenty of real world examples where adaptive, ceramic armor is trumping a lot of anti-tank weapons.
It's not all about destroying them. It's about area denial, which is what a lot of explosives are used for in warfare. It's not just about killing people. RE's are meant to be for area denial, missile launchers (on vehicles) are used for area denial, forcing infantry to run for cover... Similarly, AV is used for area denial on vehicles. Sure, it can kill, but you can easily drive something away from where they want to be, towards where you want them to be. If you keep one still for ten minutes, that's half the match that the tank has done nothing.
Edit: har, his name's been bleeped out. Didn't know that it would do that. |
