Vehicle oriented Swarm Launchers and Forge Guns would be an effective AV solution.
Toss one on an LAV to have a useful Tank / Dropship killer.
This will allow vehicles to be more durable while still being vulnerable.
It would also increase the mobility of AV threats, which is a major issue in AV duty.
Vehicles could also equip these to defend against other vehicles, at a cost vs anti-infantry.
IMHO, relying on Infantry to provide the core AV solution is not a realistic approach, and is does not represent the real world. Assuming this would change in the future is not logical. |

Doing this would remove the only effective turret for Dropships. There isn't a reason why we couldn't have both types of missiles, as they both have a purpose.
If railguns fired, charging up on cooldown, not pre-fire, they would be much more useful in dropships. |

Heh, put 2 small railguns on a dropship and watch the people jump in, then quickly jump out of the gunner seat.. never to return.
Glad everyone was able to jump in on my thread with their ideas. ;) |

I mean, and Anti Vehicle flying platform that can ALSO drop infantry anywhere on the field. I'm thinking DS could be OP.
They still die the same. I don't see how it would make the DS overpowered, but yes it would increase their usefulness. They have 2 turrets on them. But tanks could also have them, as well as LAV's. Every vehicle would be empowered in the Anti-Vehicle fight, and would also make them more susceptible to infantry AV since they can't shoot back. I can only see benefits to the metagame. |
