nova, you are a gentleman and a scholar. most of the av guys that come up against me arent bad gamers or some other such thing, they are just stupid. they dont use their heads, then they die and the whiners are the loudest on the forums. problem is, when your stupid, you dont realize it and you fail to entertain the possibility that you f'ed up and make post after post about tanks being broken. it also doesnt help that they try to balance tanks to the current build, when next build with ewar is what matters. CCP backs this and some good av people i know believe this.
problem is, not everyone plays to a high enough level that is required in dust and they just want to pull out the rpg and pop a tank. i dont think ccp should dumb the game down, but i also feel the heavies should have a leg to stand on. if your a scout using a swarm launcher, i dont care about your feelings, but i do think heavies should be able to withstand more punishment from tank fire, not infantry fire. a resist buff against vehicles would be nice for heavies and would really solidify their use.
CCP i implore you to not listen to the whiners and that you go about this in the intelligent way i think i see you already going.
a squad of heavies hunting tanks should make me **** myself as a tank driver.
increasing heavy suit capabilities for av roles would be smart i think. maybe consider implementing a heavy swarm launcher that goes in the heavy slot or even a type of artillery/flak cannon for anti air would be nice for heavies. (think i made some heavies real happy with that idea :)) |

The entire point of what I'm saying is that heavies are walking bricks because they are built to take punishment but when it comes down to it... They're terrible at that. They are in a decent place against infantry right now, but their slow speed makes them nothing more than fodder for a decent HAV driver or dropship pilot. So, giving them back their bricklike qualities by making them more resilient against vehicles would just put them where it feels like they should be. Actually able to stand toe to toe with enemy vehicles like they are supposed to.
i think splash resist mods would be an excellent way to go about this. if a heavy gets shot between the eyes with a railgun, he shouldnt be standing, but if its just splash, soak that up all day! |

as much as i agree with you on helping the heavy's survivability, an arbitrary resist to vehicles wont cut it now that i think about it and i dont think ccp does these things that way. i think some kind of simple resist mod is what will end up happening, and itll probably be able to be used by anyone. splash mods are easy to implement after all.
a heavy should absolutely not be able to get up after a railgun to the face. its less about the heavy being gimped and more about the tank driver having a nice shot. i do ask for a decrease in the splash radius for large railguns tho. probably take it down from 5 to 3 meters. any less would be too much of a gimp for the tank's main defenses and 5 meters is a helluva lot of splash. |

so you gonna nerf sniper rifles too? same problem.
railgun splash radius should be taken from 5 meters to 3. if i can hit you with my slow tracking large railgun tho, you die. no two ways around it, you got shot in the face by a tank. heavies are slow, you knew that going into things. you cant arbitrarily change things cause you dont like getting one shotted by a tank when he hits you with a dome shot.
its not that easy actually hitting a dropsuit square on with a railgun turret and decreasing the splash would change things for the better.
