Zekain Kade BetaMax. 931	Posted - 2012.12.03 02:32:00 - [1] - Quote One of the main reasons armor vehicles have such a hard time in this game is because of how readily available militia swarms are to players. As opposed to the forge guns where you have to skill up to use the cheapest one. The damage bonus may contribute to the problem, but the main problem is actually how common swarms are compared to forge guns. If forge guns had a militia variant again, then it would force shield tanks off of the battle field just like how swarms repel armor vehicles. However, because of how much a militia forge gun could be abused to take on both infantry, and vehicles. It was removed. Swarms should suffer the same fate. Swarms should only be available to a player if he reached LV 5 on their overall weapon skill, and LV1 in their swarm launcher operation skill, just like how it is for the forge gun. "But Zekain, that'll give militia tanks dominance over the battle field!" Not if militia vehicles need skills to be driven. Having Militia LAV's are good enough when it comes to having skilless vehicles on the map. We do not need to have skilless tanks, and drop ships as well. Militia vehicles shouldn't be removed, no. But they should require some form of skill specing to be used. A way to maybe balance the use of vehicles could go along the lines of this. Militia HAV skill requirement Vehicle command LV 5, HAV skill LV 1 = Militia tank Vehicle command LV 5, HAV skill LV 3 = Standard tank Vehicle command LV 5, HAV skill LV 5 = Marauder tank Vehicle command LV 5, HAV skill LV 5, Marauder Skill LV 2(or 3) = Covert ops tank A similar skill tree could be added to drop ships. Piloting skill LV 5 drop ship skill LV 1 = militia drop-ship Piloting skill LV 5 drop ship skill LV 3 = standard drop-ship Piloting skill LV 5 drop ship skill LV 5 = Logi drop-ship This is just a balance theory of mine that could be used to cull the spamming of Militia vehicles, and to stop the overuse of swarms so that armor vehicles have a some what better chance in a battle. We all really shouldn't be able to drop in tanks so early on without some form of dedication into specing towards them.
