In playing a lot Ive noticed one thing. Its quite easy for the regular footsoldier to either get blown up by a tank or runover by an LAV. Right now the way it is, a swarm launcher counts as a main weapon and a forge gun is only for heavies. The forge gun is a great short range gun and the launcher is a great long range lock on weapon.
There needs to be something in between. There needs to be something that gives the regular guy a chance at taking out an LAV or make a tank think twice before smashing through a group of guys with out going so far as going full AV.
So i propose this. Something like a rocket launcher. It would count as a side arm allowing for an assault or scout to have some punch against vehicles.
Its not lock on. Its a point and shoot one missile gun. To make sure its balanced you only get maybe 2 to 3 rounds and it does much less damage than a forge or swarm launcher. Maybe the damage of one or two swarm missiles. It will be a sidearm after all and its not a true AV weapon. Its just something to give guys a chance when there arent any AV specialists around.
Now to avoid what happened with the swarm launcher with the first build. The thing would have a smallish AoE.
Thoughts? Yay or Nay |

You know you can use AV grenades, right? They'll one-shot the militia fit LAVs and seriously hurt HAVs. And Forge guns are anything but short range. |

I use AV grenades on my sniper. Very useful against LAVs...the drivers usually don't know what hit them...one very useful property of AV grenades is, that you can also use them like homing mines. When you throw them not at a vehicle, they don't explode and stay lying on the ground (not sure for how long). When a LAV gets near, they home in and explode. Dead LAV, dead driver, at least 90WP... |

Like everyone said, use AV grenades.
I heard that the upcoming flaylock pistol will fire explosive charges though. |

as said before, AV grenades are there already.
Thought of a rocket stick scares me a bit. |

You can try proximity explosives too, more or less they're AV mines. They take a bit more finesse than the AV nades though. Put em down in a row or angle across a path, and then lure a vehicle across them. But you're right, we need more AV weapons, and weapons in general.
I did that just earlier, dude came right at me, so I dropped 3 mines down and back up, dude ran right over em and blew up. I was like GOOOOOAAAAAALLL!!! |
