Someone will always have a bigger... tank

But someone will never have bigger forge gun Sad

There are many who just might be willing to shell out that 500k or more for a weapon that can bring tanks to their knees. Something on the lines of artillery bombardment, airstrike or portable nuke. And no, a tank can't really handle that kind of damage it's just too much. But there's a pretty good reason why these are considered as power ups in most games and usually awarded for serious killing sprees. They just might break the game, but that's not too different from what tanks are doing now.

Needing more than 4-5 shots with prototype forge gun just isn't worth it. Time is almost without exception better spend capturing objectives elsewhere or just by surviving and killing enemy infantry and leave the tanks to.. well tanks.. But the low damage they do just might help the allied tank to win with encounters against other tanks.

AV's should just spec on tanks, and build tanks that are meant for taking out vehicles since that seems to be the only sensible option. if things look bad and your tank will be destroyed you can still bail out and try taking out the tank with AV-nades and forge gun.

In WW2 infantry came up with all sorts of ways to immobilize tanks and make them ineffective. Blowing the tracks off of them is my favorite example of this through the use of sticky bombs. Perhaps some of this could be happening here too. I like the idea of AT mine or AV grenades that are specifically armor piercing. The AV grenades home already, suppose they drilled into the armor and detonated after a short time causing damage rather than having a splash effect. There could be specialized AV grenades for each vehicle type. Splash damage for the LAVs and the aforementioned type of damage for tanks. Blowing the tracks off a tank could be a fun way to immobilize a tank through the use of Anti-Tank Mines they could still fire and be repaired but immobile. Shooting the tires off an LAV could be fun too and allow people kills on the mechanic coming to change a tire. These ideas are just that, ideas please use them as you see fit.

I have fun taking out vehicles all day. There is one particular vehicle fitted that I had encountered today, it has turbo repairs. It repairs both armor and shield at the same time. But, it went down as soon the other guy in our team has a swarm launcher. Have you maxed out the skill for weaponry skill? It does add more damage to all handheld weapons.

Nothing should be balanced around cost. At all. Also keep in mind that any pricing metric goes out the window once this game hits TQ.

What do you think an anti-tank weapon is? Quick hint: Not something a tank can withstand four to eight times.
