Armor Tanks are weaker against infantry because swarm launcher will fit any suit and is better against armor whereas the forge will only fit heavy class and is stronger against shield, so armor tank being better against tanks makes sense as shield tanks stand more of a chance against infantry. Seems like a decent balance to me. |

Im on about the disadvantage that shield has against armor because shield cannot rep its armor
Well if you want tank wars ... find another game cos this won't be it !
My point is that tanks vs each other vs infantry is about balanced by this mechanic because your armor tank has an advantage against the shield tank but a disadvantage against infantry ... whereas the shield tank has an advantage against infantry but a disadvantage against the armor tank.
End of discussion. |

So he can jump out and rep after a close call. That's a situation too though, so nvm... With grouping broke as it is i still roam solo and randoms are potaotes
What's 'broke' about grouping ? There's nothing wrong with it. |

But that's got nothing to do with grouping, everyone is getting kicked out of matches and invalid fittings, trying to get more people into the same battle is bound to increase the chances of one of you getting one of the bugs. Grouping isn't broken it just causes more possibility of problems cos there's more people.
In my experience in groups I can continue playing when other members of the group have had invalid or been kicked, so it's not a grouping bug.
Edited : Anyway we're going off topic ... I still think the armor depletion is a means to split the armor and shield tank roles as I've described. |

Fact of the matter is this ...
The Sagaris dominated everything last build so it has been nerfed. Armor degradation by fire was a simple way to to disadvantage it.
There's nothing stopping you fitting a small LAV size armour rep to it, that won't cost you barely any resources and should be enough to rep you back out of fire damage.
Other than that all I can suggest ... if you don't like it, try training infantry instead. |

Yes advanced HAVs were both an issue and still are since most AV is ineffective at best this build. But the Sagaris for the most part dominated the Surya, they were just too fast and could run when they hit armor, now that won't help them. I think it's about right to balance the 2 of them against each other without specifically weakening damage or hit points.
If they get the AV somewhere closer to what it was the formula works ...
Sagaris > Infantry > Surya > Sagaris. |
