I've noticed that the vehicle kill assist points is +35 for individual soldiers, +30 for vehicle and +25 for installations. It seems odd to me that something which nets +100 when you destroy it by yourself only gets you +25 for vehicle assist. Was this intentional? |

I shot a few round at a LAV a second before some heavy suit guy blew it up. I'd say those 25-35 pints I got was pretty easy money. |

I was wondering why so little for installations, I just listed the others for comparison.
I'm talking about vehicle kill assist (kill assist gained while in a vehicle), not vehicle destruction assist (helping to destroy a vehicle while on foot).

I'd say the real question is why do you even get vehicle assist points if you don't shoot your gun at all? I can sit in a tank as the gunner in ambush and rack up +35s en masse, while doing nothing but chilling out and watching my driver going on a rampage. That's bull crap.
I think turret installations shouldn't give +100 for destruction, because they are too easy to kill. They are two shotted with a decent rail gun, I guess a well fitted LAV would survive longer. The amount of assist points still seems low, I'm pretty sure we will see changed numbers at release.

This is due to the terrible decision CCP made to make the HAV a solo pwn mobile. Our other vehicles require a driver and gunner, gunner gets kill and driver gets assist. |

I think it is a little odd that I can get more points in a tank by shooting but not killing people. +25 for winging somebody and +35 for another gunner finishing him off vs. 50 for killing him outright.
I think we need the vehicle assist points reduced or eliminated for people with guns and increased for people who can only drive. (IDK what to do with the passenger slots, but I haven't noticed anyone trying to farm points by sitting in a good dropship all day.) |

And rightly so. No reason for a gunner to receive assist points for the kill of another gunner though, let alone the tank drive who has the biggest gun of all.

I'm with you, remove vehicle assists for everyone with a decent gun, especially for tank drivers. Dropship pilots and LAV drivers really should be the only ones receiving vehicle assists. I mean, nobody expects to get kill assists points just because he happened to stand next to a team mate shooting someone. We don't even get assist points if the squad mates we're running with kill someone (except for the squad leader of course). |
