Lol I'm AV. I have a railgun tank. You seems to not understand. Now missiles are worthless along with scout suits and breach AR. The point of this thread, CCP doesn't know how to nerf something unless they make it worthless. On a side note thanks for making tanks and dropships worthless and easier for me to farm by removing the splash damage CCP. Cater to the scrubs more and make the game easier. Cool

gizmo reading over the changes i disagree u actually seem to get more AoE than reduced.
hear me out

missiles shot pretty straight before with large splash and damage with adding "dispersion" aka spread ur missiles wont actually be that straight anymore but more spread out so u actually are gaining more AoE.
they would have to reduce the splash damage a bit since the missiles are now shooting over a wider area because now u run the risk of splash damage from each missile overlapping thus making a wider killzone since before missiles all were somewhat straight the overall splash zone would not be large

that said if u think nerfing missiles is catering to scrubs idk wtf game ur playing considering the only thing u see are missiles which take no skill to aim unlike blasters or rails and would OHK anything with splash alone.......

Reducing damaging, range and rate of fire should be enough. Limiting the AoE is taking away from there purpose. In any MMO that you play AoE hits a wide area for low damage, it is also a form of crowed control Sorry for any miss spelling and so on using a iPhone and dust forums on he iPhone isn't user friendly.

Dumb nerfs like this is what is gonna cause dust to flop. CCP it is nice that you're listening to players but learn to slow down. Learn from other MMO games and stop listening to scrubs.

This would make it much more difficult to hit ranged targets with them and would act as an effective maximum range. Skiliing into a missile turret speed skill would increase the missiles travel speed and thus their range (it would also reduce their arc). No damage or AoE nerf needed. Damage does needa nerf and damage mods also need to be fixed since you can add as many as you want without them having any backlash. AoE needs to stay the same though with reduced range and rate of fire.

Had my breach forge out and was facing Ted this morning. The range his splash damage was hitig was less than normal. Secondly got off 2 breach volleys before I lost half my armor since the splash is now littler.

The enemy player was no more that 10 meters from me too. Finally just jumped out and forge him. Also my railgun tank has more spread than a missile it seems. CCP, as an av player, I can tell you that you just didn't hurt those using missiles, you hurt av players. Already now, I have 3 tanks since the update went live and 1 Drepship. Us that play full depend on those vehicle players so we can make bank on them. Now with no one playing vehicle to what little good are we?

An easy way to test out nerfs and buffs would have been to just apply a little nerf or buff at a time till it feels about right. That away it is not overly buffed or overly nerfed. CCP hat to say but your skill of trying to balance out anything is very poor. Take things slow and add little changes not big changes like this. Look what has happened in the last major changes, the breach at is worthless and no one never uses it now. Scout suit is almost as worthless and not worth using. Now missiles are worthless.
