Am i the only one that feels like all T1 vehicles are a little underpowered atm? Right now calling down a gunnlogi or maraugar is just throwing away 100 k. It seems to be even worse for LAVS (does anyone even use these) and dropships are only ever militia by the looks of it.
CCP needs to take a serious look at the effectiveness of vehicles throughout the skill tree, as only marauders seem to have even a vague chance of surviving a battle and making their driver a profit. |

Cautious tank drivers with well-fitted tanks can do a lot without dying.
The problem is that the (deliberate) vehicle imbalance has now been countered by the metagame shifting into everyone having AV gear, and THAT means the easily-accessible vehicles are being slaughtered by easily-accessible anti-vehicle weaponry. |

I can do decently well with a madrugar with a cru fitted onto it (cause no one on foot I meet actually wants to gun....) but if I see another tank mine instantly explodes (though it can handle a few av shots) |

Fit? I run a madrugar when I'm just messing around. |

The LAV's are fine and cheap. Well you can put a Xt-1 rocket turret on it and drive around and spotting people for the gunner. And the myron can be a brutal beast if fitted right. |

I love the T1 LAV. We do exactly the above in it, roll around and troll people with rockets and get an assload of kills and run away from tanks. Killed several tanks with it too as it is far more maneuverable. I haven't had as much fun as driving for a gunner like that since Halo1. 10/10 would drive again. |

I spent a match yesterday just driving around tanks with my LAV and a gunner. Constant missile spam on the tank.
Was so much fun! |

Do you have 5 in the basic missile skill and 1 in the advanced? It works fine for me. |

You know, if you press triangle on an item in the market and then R2 a few times you'll get to the Required Skills tab of that item. That way you know what skills you need for it. |

I don't exactly agree that the T1 vehicles are Under-Powered. I used them to great success and rarely died before I had the SP to get Marauders and proper modules. All it takes is checking the mini-map often to avoid other HAVs (Or ambush them properly) and smart river, and a bit of caution.
Also, memorize where all the easy ridges are and which direction they slant, so you can quickly roll on one to angle yourself to shoot a harassing dropship. |

At the start of the new update with this map I remember calling down a standard militia tank and doing some serious in-discretionary fire...It did alot until people started leveling. |

I do alot with tier 1 dropships and if the other team gets a bit too stupid I can dominate the map rather effectively. |

Gunnilogi is fine. I like it quite a lot, if you put in the T1 shield modules you end up with 4.6kish shield, 1k armor and nice resistances (almost 20%) total cost maybe 150k a drop. If I dont get surprised by other vehicles of same or better class, I usually survive a whole game. Just run from proto forge guns, they kill you in like 6 shots...
Cant wait for marauders to test out... |
