1.) Tanks aren't OP.
2.) No-one is using swarm/SMG combo. This should be the basic loadout everyone has. Militia EVERYTHING.
3.) AV nades + hive = smoking wreck.
4.) Switch every sniper on your team for the loadout I mentioned. Now the game works.
Tanks aren't op. snipers are just complete idiots.
Agree with that for the most part. You're lucky if your team field 2 swarm/smg fits whilst combatting a tank laden team. Most seek refuge in the hills which is why I feel we're seeing so many snipers atm. Its fortunate that sniping is so tricky as it could be so much worse in that respect. |

Has anyone invested into AV as heavily as your average tank driver yet ? Its rare enough to see more than 2 AV guys once a tank enters the fray, rarer still advanced/proto launchers - Very interested in the higher tier launchers and how they compare to my scrub launcher. |

The only thing worthy that gave you a chance Forge ( now nerfed )
What's left, hmm, oh yeah get yourself a tank too. Gameplay ( super nerfed )
Not what I wanted to hear regarding swarms, and I'd rather stay away from skilling towards tanks right now. IMO a swarm launcher vs a tank should go like a stealth bomber vs battleship in EVE however in that scenario its fairly easy to get under their turrets. Maybe making tank turrets move slower, like a large railgun say, that might encourage more toward skilling swarm as a viable mobile AV option. |

I say this cause i just beasted with my soma on skirmish. Wiped whole squads from objectives while watching out to not getting to close to infantry (av grenades are dangerous). Well the result: militia AV weapons do a bit of damage but not enough to make me sweat. Otherwise i wouldnt be aible to go 34-0. And i think orbital strikes are a joke they have way to little damage radious. As soon i saw 2 enemy strikes incoming (yes you can see and hear them before they hit the ground) i simply drived back and evaded it without a scratch on my tank.
If more people started with swarm (And why not, smg is awesome), or change fits as soon as they see a tank, rather than respond after multiple deaths to them, then that would do for me personally. I love the challenge of taking a vehicle down or forcing it to gtfo. |

It was starting to happen in the last build where lots of ppl were training their av skills and/or vehicle skills to counter the tanks. The tanks became the greatest thing to have then ppl found their counter to it. Although now with all of the new blood, its like starting over. It will again take tanks to openly win games inorder to get ppl to invest sp into a counter. They don't know yet that without some ppl trying to counter it, a tank can clear a battlefield. I'm also hoping for some dropship pilots to come out and play because they were a nice help and could sometimes take a tank out on their own. I may end up playing around with a ds since I keep getting them as salvage. I have 40 or so of them now. since our death traps are now more expensive I believe we are taking the time to up our skills so that if we manage to stay upright we will last more then a couple militia swarm hits you shall see us soon...... 
And you sir, will see 6 of my finest missiles fly erratically towards you promptly.
Not saying they'll reach you due to derp flight path but hey, here's trying |
