Missiles were never meant to be great vs everything like they were. If you want to wipe out infantry, fit your tank with a large blaster. If you want to take down other tanks, fit it with a large railgun.

I agree here. I havent played yet but from what people have been saying I agree with this. If the dmg done in the splash was nerfed then I dont think the radius also needs to be nerfed. The range nerf was also a good idea i just think it was taken too far.

Now Snake just want to note that RPG that are designed to take out vehicles (IE tanks or other armored vehicle) actually has a shaped explosive. What this means is that the actual blast radius of an RPG with an anti material warhead is actually very small. All of its power is put into taking out the vehicle (many of them use the blast to actually melt and then force mercury (or similar material) through the armor in an attempt to penetrate into the interior or at least damage electronics. So an arguement could be made that the splash radius should be smaller because they are supposed to be anti material warheads and not anti infantry.

Now that being said I go back to what I originally stated. Range nerf and splash dmg nerfs are good but also including a splash radius nerf was probably too far. My main problem with the missiles before is that it didnt even need a close hit to severly dmg or kill me. Heck i had missiles from the main turret miss me so badly they landed on the wall that was 4-5 ish meters behind me and the splash has so much dmg that is insta killed my ADV type A suit that has more than 450 total HP. This is the problem I had with missiles before. Hopefull after testing this for a bit they will find a happier medium but you are blind if you think missles were balanced before.

75% of the lolmissile tankers did
they played careless, no thought process, charged right in and blew evryone up because they know they can kill a grp of ppl alot quicker than they can get him down

emotional post

With missiles changes it should have had a reload time similar to railguns charge i think

Range wise got nerfed hard, i have forge gunners hitting me but i cant hit them back unless i have the railgun as my main turret

Radius should be back to normal for large at least and up the damage i think

Skill books i wouldnt have prof or even the normal skill to give out damage bonuses tbh, leave the damage bonuses to the turret skillbook and the damage mods and instead give the skillbooks bonuses to the the weapon instead, like -5% cooldown time or heat build up for hybrids, missiles could be ROF or range

All damage mods should really be the same

Random missile spread lolworthy

I disagree with only 1 damage mod tbh, they have stacking penalties as it is and its not like a DCU either, if you can fit em let em


As for turrets, railgun still needs its turn speed increased at least to the missile turn speed and also i think it builds up heat way too fast, after 2 cont shots you overheat and need a 15sec cooldown even tho its was around 5sec to fire 2 shots i think it should at least be 3 tbh

Missiles NEEDED a nerf of some sort. I dont know if this the right way to go about it, but it is an improvement. Another solution migt be to keep the original dmg stats, but severely cut the ROF. This would keep missiles as more of an AV weapon, with some infantry use as well (because of old splash dmg)

Post fix, the situation is better. Not perfect but way better.

Yeah ? I like to think that seeing blasters and railgun instead of just missile is better. You have Anti-Infantry HAV and Anti-vehicle HAV wich seems more logical.

Now, Blasters HAVs are too fragile due to the stupidity of EZmod SL, the range boost from last fix to FG and the painfull reduction in Resistance modules for vehicles.

I dont think we're that far from getting a nice balance between vehicles and infantry. Anyway I guess we're all just talking for nothing until next build lands.

Scout smallest sig radius may take 20 seconds to lock (base no skills/modules factored into either side)
heavy largest infantry sig radius make take 15 seconds
Lav 10 seconds
Drop ship 7 sec
HAV 4 seconds

You cannot split the turrets up for missiles

Even if 2 types of missile launchers come out you are shafting the drivers anyways because sods law you bring out the lock on turret for vehicles and no vehicles turn up on the enemys side plus its a dumb idea and why? because the blasters and railguns can do anti vehicle and infantry to an extent while with the missile idea you can only do one or the other which make it even more ******* useless

lol @ this wtf aswell tbh you have like 1 AV guy to begin with who is out of milita/basic AV stuff and none of you drive anything
