sure they may have reduced the damage but now i keep getting sniped by swarm launchers. i cant hit snipers so my best bet is to cower behind an objective. and also infantry can't get snipers either. although i like what they did with AV grenades: now no one is spaming them(probly because they're too far away though) |

Yes AV nades, Swarms and froge guns all need looking at . Far to OP against tanks thats for sure yo.
Or we could just buff tanks thats prob alot less coding anyway.

It was sarcasm; considering HAVs live forever now and swarms only really mess up your aim, your post seemed rather farcical in itself. |

Rofl "sniped by swarm launchers" in my experience it more like "Whats this earthquake all about? Oh A Kill!" +50 free points
If anyone shoots a swarm launcher its like a shooting up flares to any sniper on the ground.
Yes HAV drivers now cry for their victims, they pwn that hard. |

also swarm launcher doesn't mess up a tanks aim, when spammed on top of mt. kitten(which tends to show up multiple times per map) it can be very annoying, dealing about 15% per swarm |

K so by my math I can get off 4 swarms before most HAV are out of range so thats what? 45% of HAV armor/shield by your math and then their rep/booster are going hard.
So cower until your at full and AV is dead if you die by an AV assault in this build its honestly your fault.
I have had the same Sagaris since precursor came out, her name is "Shelia" and in this build she never ever dies. Shes been Swarmed, Forged, OBed and the worst I ever had was going down to base armor from an off target pair OBs; even then I wasnt too scared, I was out running the blasts and Boosters were going.
Shelia sits in the station now because Shelia kills everything and nothing can kill her; As was stated earlier HAVs driver weep when they rampage.

& this guy is serious? Or at least acting serious...
AV sucks enough in this build, well fit tanks and good drivers can keep them alive easily while getting 20+ kills and not dying a single time. Actually I'm almost wanting to say that's just DECENT drivers, I think good ones can get over that many no problem unless the enemy team is good at hiding from it. |

Your a simple fellow I can see and is going to try and argue semantics as opposed to following an argument intelligently.
I will explain, the out of range I refer to is any where(and I mean anywhere) that has something between you and a swarm launcher.
It may be a rock, out cropping or building but it is now your aegis if your low on shields/armor if no blow that Av douche into a new clone.
I know for a fact you can run down any AV fit right now and kill him before he can do anything near significant damage. DOnt assume when you post, Know.

You got hit by the rare and elusive effective Av push on HAVs, congratulations for seeing a rare phenomenon.
Whats a Farcist?
I used the word farcical if thats what your refering to, it means to make light of a situation.
And No big words do not make an intelligent argument, an intelligent argument is one that has a clear and well defined purpose, thats is reinforced by evidence and reason. It should be able to hold up well(see I used a small word there) against scrutiny and counter arguments. Finally you should be able to conclude that your argument is either valid or not valid.
Seeing as you have just raged and did very little of any of those, I dont see intelligence or an argument from your side.

If it took two adv. HAVS working you and then another super long range Av fit to kill you, I would consider you the winner of that fight despite the loss of your HAV.
You held up at least 3 to 5 + players(enemy gunners?);
Held up two Adv HAVs which can rampage your whole team or get a kill every 5 secs on average(1 kill for every second engaged to those HAVs multiply by the number of HAV held up and subtract one HAV to account for your HAV being held up, thats how many deaths you saved your team from);
Forced 2- 3+ infantry from anti Infantry fits to AV fits;
Id say you have a nice tactical victory there and a death in battle that most Vikings would cream their pants to have. |

Its plain to everyone else, you are full of crap, this is a fail post. AV needs no nerf at all, in fact a major buff. If you are still arguining you have the intelligence of a brick or are a really persistent troll. |

tone it down a bit.
your the one not seeing things in the bigger picture here. the implementation of ewar will change things significantly.
in addition, vehicles are not meant to be on equal terms with infantry....infantry is the most base level of player that a corp can have on the field ingame and a tank is, well, a tank. if the corp is funded enough, and it is worth winning the battle, they increase their risk and throw some more of their weight around by bringing more expensive, powerful assets onto the field like aerial and ground armor and installations.
For those eve players, its similar to calling a capitol ship op because you cant easily destroy it with your small destroyer...
the scales there are much different but the comparison is the same. in a battle, yes av squads can pop armor and make them retreat, but if the enemy team has a tank squad on the field, dont sit there complaining about tanks being op, you need to get your own team's armor on the field!
if the us army was fighting a russian tank battalion, do you think we would try and destroy them with a platoon of infantry with rocket launchers? no, we would roll in our own armor. again, like i said the capitol ship isnt op, its just a capitol ship. you have to engage it accordingly. av guys will be able to approach their roles much differently when they can throw webifiers.
this doesnt work like BF where you can spawn as an engineer and take out a tank by yourself with 2 shots. this is total war.
edit: you can see how CCP is thinking along these lines since they are trying to get more people to engage tanks with tanks instead of everyone trying to use militia swarms. as far as the world of tanks argument goes, there are things that need to be done to win that tanks cant do and in serious battles, corporations will run out of tanks to use (as long as they dont have unlimited funding, but thats up to the eve corps) and that is part of beating the other team. out of all the tanks i see being used, almost all are shield tanks and of all the av i see, almost all are swarms.....its like trying to beat scissors with paper. use the right av weapon for the job.
Dust isnt just about infantry. the american military forces have a navy and air force in addition to the army for a reason. |

The biggest problem with AV, is that it's rare for ANYbody to use it.
I had a tanked Sica, that I was using (1 SBooster, 1 Extender, 1 DC, Rails, PG Boosters) and it went over 24 matches before someone finally killed it.
Killed by what? A guy with a Prototype Swarmlauncher. Close enough that the puke in one of my turrets could have gotten out and shot him (he was too busy creaming his drawers about being in a Rail Tank to shoot at him).
It was an objective map. I got out of the tank and called in another. This guy was SERIOUS about dealing with my tanks. He just kept coming back for me.
So it's not the AV that's the issue. It's the people not wanting to PLAY AV, unless they have to, that is. |

I don't know how true this is its from my own personal experience. I seem to notice whlie using my shield tank that forge guns and av grenades and other certain weapons do more damage to my shied. Like swarmps and other weapons seem to do more damage to armor tanks. Example I am going to use should teach you guys that your militia swarm will not kill my tank. I gauged the damage i recieved from a militia swarm launcher today. A full volley of 4 missisles did only 300 damage to me out of a possible 1000. I think my numbers are correct. I have around 70% to 80% resists on my tank. As I ddn't exactly see the number its hard to focus on that whlie in battle. So stop complaining and get something that is actually making me go oh crap. I can tell when I get hit with something that I can park in front of you and laugh. As well I know when something hits me that I can't sit there and take a bunch of those. Can we end this thread its pointless. |

tone it down a bit. your the one not seeing things in the bigger picture here. the implementation of ewar will change things significantly. in addition, vehicles are not meant to be on equal terms with infantry....infantry is the most base level of player that a corp can have on the field ingame and a tank is, well, a tank. if the corp is funded enough, and it is worth winning the battle, they increase their risk and throw some more of their weight around by bringing more expensive, powerful assets onto the field like aerial and ground armor and installations. For those eve players, its similar to calling a capitol ship op because you cant easily destroy it with your small destroyer... the scales there are much different but the comparison is the same. in a battle, yes av squads can pop armor and make them retreat, but if the enemy team has a tank squad on the field, dont sit there complaining about tanks being op, you need to get your own team's armor on the field! if the us army was fighting a russian tank battalion, do you think we would try and destroy them with a platoon of infantry with rocket launchers? no, we would roll in our own armor. again, like i said the capitol ship isnt op, its just a capitol ship. you have to engage it accordingly. av guys will be able to approach their roles much differently when they can throw webifiers. this doesnt work like BF where you can spawn as an engineer and take out a tank by yourself with 2 shots. this is total war. edit: you can see how CCP is thinking along these lines since they are trying to get more people to engage tanks with tanks instead of everyone trying to use militia swarms. as far as the world of tanks argument goes, there are things that need to be done to win that tanks cant do and in serious battles, corporations will run out of tanks to use (as long as they dont have unlimited funding, but thats up to the eve corps) and that is part of beating the other team. out of all the tanks i see being used, almost all are shield tanks and of all the av i see, almost all are swarms.....its like trying to beat scissors with paper. use the right av weapon for the job. Dust isnt just about infantry. the american military forces have a navy and air force in addition to the army for a reason.
Your right. The game about super human clones should actually just revolve around who brings the best tanks. Can't have those "base level infantry" having a chance vs a HAV. Stick webifiers bro. They'll be near enough worthless thanks to the suits Nerf.
Clones are a bit of a pointless piece of tech already replaced with HAVs piloted by monkeys. |

fair enough, i just wish people would realize they are not as gimped as they think and the only av guys i see trying to get me are the ones with militia swarms coming one at a time....very rarely do i get a squad of guys working together with real av gear. its a nightmare when it happens tho. in my opinion, lots of QQ with a lack of any effort. |

No-one will equip a 300k ISK loadout to hunt your tank. You can 1 shot their 300k ISK investment. Would you take a tank if every rifleman could 1 shot you? From the other side of the map? No, you wouldn't.
Honestly lurch, the new changes will simply make it tank wars, with a member jumping outta the tank to lay stasis mines. They don't actually help infantr, because even in fully Proto, we'll be 1 shot. 2 for heavy.

on the flip side, every time i roll out my tank i put 2 mil on the line, and i dont have a single point in anything else so i have to use it if i wanna take advantage of my points. that and everyone on the map hates me and wants me dead where an ar guy will only have to deal with the guys in front of him.
if av guys are scared to deal with me, awesome. no skin off my back.
the only times i have ever lost tanks with the exception of a few tank battles are to real av squads who work together and get av nades on me while shooting swarms from MULTIPLE directions, a very effective tactic that still eludes most av squads. av guys should realize that they shouldnt have to be scared of losing their fittings if they actually assault tanks in the right way and dont run straight into an enemy ar user.
i love when 3-4 av guys are shooting swarms at me in one direction...my gun just so happens ot aim in one direction and even has splash. if you get me from multiple directions, not so easy and i might have to retreat. but wait, what ever will i do when you can webbify me?! we'll just have to see at that point in time my frustrated friend... |

Realism argument in a video game... Uhm, if tanks > AV every single time, than AV is pointless and should not even be in game.
AV has been ridiculously nerfed and HAVs are OP right now, not sure how you can't see that. EWAR when it comes it comes, but we are dealing with it right now and its really obvious. |

Saw a group of Militia AV guys take out a proto tank. Was funniest thing in the world.
Course, he was busy hiding his overtanked butt behind a structure from some idiot in a Milita Sica (oh, that was me), when they hammered him from the opposite direction.
Remember, AV can take out tanks, even solo if you spend the isk/sp for it. The tankers know this, which is why some start hiding when they see swarms heading their way.
The best AV is on the skirmish maps. Use those bloody turrets. Their free, and some can give tankers a serious issue with them. (Large Rail Turrets anyone?) |

And I thought the complainers of of OP tanks were bad......
Look, if you got sniped by swarm launchers, news flash kiddy, you just got outmaneuvered, and your killer used his mobile advantage (an asset you surrendered in exchange for heavy armor) to kill you effectively. Swarm launcher weilders can still be killed by well placed shots by vehicle mounted weaponry (happens all the time), so don't be complaining if you foe was faster than your aim. |

Right there, you isolated the main issue here: Tanks, like snipers, are easily identified. Its a psychological thing. I was killed by those troops, that's a fact of life. I was sniped/tank killed, and it feels more personal. To make a real life comparison, troops are more likely to gun down enemy snipers just because of the 'solely responsible for XX fellow's death', which Tank users kinda touch on in this digital realm.
Also, although admirable that we are looking forward to the EWAR, I'd like to break formality to say KITTEN IT. We will not be able to balance AV to Vehicles to EWAR without all three. |

i already said quite a while ago that me posting this thread was entirely tank loss rage. hopefully a GM will come and lock thish thread and return AV weapons to how they were so people will shut up about this AV idea of ewar. in my opinion ewar should involve team work and be useable on all parts of the game not be focused on only a single part that only some people are complaining about |

No Joe. Down with Tanks! Aside from which, as CCP Nothin said, no post will be lost on this subject. @Zero It's easy enough to tell good troops from bad. Bad tanks are like bad infantry. Easily defeated. Good infantry I remember their names. Same with most good tanks.
I don't care about the weak / bad fit tanks so much, but I've seen tanks which are nearly indestructible. nOObs WILL learn to fit properly. I'm yet to find any infantry player who feels invincible. There are quite a few who are better than me. But I'll have a decent chance even. As for tanks and the AV Nerf? Well... I think Alti has some explaining to the community. He's creative director, and loves marauders. I believe I found the reason for my discontent. |
