Just add a 25-40% explosive resistance to heavies...

Then add that same explosive resistance to assault suits.....its bad enough, assaults has to throw grenades at a heavy to be able to stand a chance.

Putting it like that....scouts, logis, assaults need our grenades against heavies. If anything, ccp can add a skill with Operation & Proficiency levels & modules (you can purchase) to boost resistance to explosives (or exclusively blasters only...ccp can choose that). But that needs to be across the board and not solely for heavies.

I admire the fact your trying to help the AV vs vehicles issue, but do you honestly think that forge's are useless and the heavies need a buff?.

Currently everyone has a forge gun, it's the only effective AV out there since swarms are broken. With this buff heavies with no brains will be able to run rampant against all vehicles with only infantry to stop them.

Any smart heavy AV user out there will be using cover and they don't get one shot, not by large missiles anyway unless they're dumb. Saying this will help them against railguns, well, the only sure fire way to get a heavy in cover is snipe them with a rail and currently the railgun is crap and broken due to whines last build. Your better off having some guy sit on your tank with a forge, it's ridiculous how the forge is better than the railgun in everyway.

The problem is with the small missile turrets and them being placed on dropships and the fact that swarms are useless against this. As I keep saying, the entire balance of AV, vehicles and turrets is totally way off.

All this suggestion does is make heavies nigh on un-killable against tanks. I think this idea needs some work before it's not OP tbh. Kudos for trying though Sleepy.

lolno

OP want to buff swarms even more lolno

They already got put back to normal levels then an extra 20% added on, the ability to fly around stuff, the ability to lock on behind cover, they are already free as it is

With that heavy mod can i have that for my tank since its made of paper so i build resistances which are much more needed

lol chill I made came up with this as an alternative to the tank nerf and swarm buff. I want to see tanks buffed but I was hoping this could give infantry more of a fighting chance.

This reminds me...

Could suit specializations offers skills to heavies such as explosive resistance? o_0

But why heavies exclusively then? Are you a heavy?

Since heavies suck against missile turrets or railguns unless they have the high ground here is a possible solution other than buffing swarms to a ridiculous damage output

This idea is inspired by the immortals in starcraft 2. An immortal has normal shielding in most situations but when they get hit with something that has a high enough damage output (like a tank) it instantly builds large amounts of resistance against the damage taken. Adding this effect in a module to effect shields or armor would be a good way for a heavy to compensate for low maneuverability when taking on a tank or when hit with an RE. It also keeps infantry battles with heavies the same so there will be no unfair advantage in infantry battles.

Also may promote more use in blasters for anti infantry since missiles wont be as effective against this module but blasters should be able to take it out with the same ease as before.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned or exists in EVE (discuss)

I was talking about a module like this that exists in game in EVE and whether or not it was already planned for Dust.

again sorry for not being more clear I hope this helps

I think it's a pretty decent idea.

Maybe instead of a higher resistance to things bigger than it though, an invoulnerability to splash damage from missiles?
Since missiles are really where the problem lies that means the heavy can stand against a tank unless he receives a direct hit, also means he can take the time it takes to miss a few times against the drop ships spamming missiles everywhere

I like the idea but it shouldnt be a damage modifier. I would rather make it a energy reuser as a feature for every suit like shield repairing. It uses a part of the energy of the projectile to overload the system.
The different damage types could have a different usage aswell. From EM damage you get most energy, then thermal, explosive and kinetic.
It would have the most usage for heavies due to their insane armor.

The tanks already got nerfed once guys so STFU and stop the QQ about it its the Large missile turrets and CCP loving caldari vehicles so whilist they are OP Gallentean ones are broken some tanks cost +2mil isk btw I don't think a sh!*tty Noob should be able to complain about this.
Balance tanks don't nerf them ples CCP
