Anti-Vehicle is a skill, that requires practice and proper skills, just like AR, and Vehicles.

Anti-Vehicle is a ROLE that nobody seems to get. You can't just toss in a Swarm Launcher or Forge Gun and call it good. They need to be dedicated at their role.

Is it just me or do you seem to get more money for killing the Delivery Ships?
Delivery Ships being the ships that come in and drop the tanks, and dropships.
I know they are worth 75 points everytime I blow one up..plus it damages or destroys whatever it's dropping.
But I seem to make way more money when doing that than I do killing troops, other vehicles, or installations.

I put some of the blame for this is the current build's lack of good communication and Corporation fuctionality; after groups start forming and roles start to become defined I think that soild Anti-Amour will become a better focus. Maybe even varients such as Anti-Air (for dropships and taking out the delivery ships for LAV/HAV), heavy anti-armour for shielded up and high HP HAVs, and even lighter anti-armour roles for taking out multiple LAVs or weaker HAVs quickly. It is going to be a matter of team work, time training, and demand for such roles in order to make them a true reality.

what people dont seem to realize is that being an AV is a ROLE.....

I have dedicated over 15 million Sp into AV, and all those Tank FANBOYs who say, " I just need to be a more dedicated" is a complete idiot. My job and sole purpose is to kill tanks, yet it will take me 7-8 shots to kill a GOD Tank.... THAT IS MORE THEN A ENTIRE FORGE CLIP. So tell me oh GREAT Tank drivers, why I have so much trouble killing you when I am a pure counter and everything I run with is anti Tank

BTW I use PROTO FORGE GUN, maxed out efficiency, and Three 10% damage mods

Bad aim?

no sir, do not get wrong I can still kill a TANK, but the amount of trouble it is is not worth the time or the SP

Need glasses?

It's probably because you hit hard and then they flee, and you're slow. You deny them an area they wanted to be in, which is a partial win.

It often takes me 3 clips of Proto swarm launcher missiles to kill a Sagaris, but I have a nanohive. If they run, and you're out of ammo and can't easily chase, that's a problem. But you guys are way stronger than Swarm Launchers are.

I'm sure there are some FG AV guys who can talk about that as well.

Why does my Forge Gun have longer latency then a TANKS rail Gun?

Why does my Forge Gun have limited amount, yet a Tanks ammo is unlimited?

These are just a few of the many questions I ask

Because FG does 900 more damage than a railgun.

you cant just swap to an AV fit and do some quick damage control to get back into your AR ways, it just doesnt work that way. you have to stay AV and take care of your ****. Stop the vehicles from coming into play in the first place. If you wait until the tank is staring you in the face to go, "Oh, ima go switch to my swarms!" then your doing it wrong and in the time it takes you to get your fitting swapped the vehicles are gonna do work.

AV guys need to actually play their role and be on the lookout for vehicles. Some people might find out they can actually handle vehicles better, although some people might be offended that i told them to not use an AR.

props to rhadiem for the good quote.

dude, your showing yourself to be an immature poster here....here's a few thoughts based on my own, very successful AV efforts.

#1 - dont waste time shooting at a tank that is repping.
#2 - you are fighting a tank that has three people. Common sense dictates you should need more than yourself.
#3 - Im sorry, but after doing this myself from day one, if your taking more than 4-5 shots to down a marauder, your doing it wrong. somehow.
#4 - catch tanks in choke points.
#5 - use proto ASSAULT forge guns.

because i cant think of any reason your so unsuccessful with that fitting if you have adequate teamwork and strategy other than this, ill throw this in there......

#6 - Don't miss.

Hybrid A/V / Infantry

I A/V with an assault suit, Proto SL, Proto SMG and a hive. This gives me flexibility to A/V camp or get in the mix of things. It's pretty boring sitting the whole game camped out in your good A/V spots. So, I like to jump in and help the team cap with my SMG and hive. Once all skills are maxed, the SMG is a killer. Plus, if a dropship or tank rolls in, I can A/V it out of there. It's a hybrid roll I like a lot. Plus, it gives me the ability to also back up a forger with a hive, SMG and added A/V support. I try to find a forger and work together. It's a good build, check it out.

Are people really so stupid as to not realise grouping means full blown spider tanking? Tanks repairing tanks? I haven't looked at the exact stats, but a resist high tank being repped will be nearly untouchable. If you think grouping will help AV more than HAV you're going to get a shock.
I agree massed AV will be a help, but the speed marauders kill AV dudes and everything else is crazy.
