DUST Search - Little talk about AV vs vehicle

In particular, AV grenades are fine. standard are pretty useless.

They are not causing OP problems on the field.

Also, Swarms are pretty broke - but presuming this is because shield tanking beats armour and swarms work best on armour. And Forge seems balanced to me. Wanted to go swarm with SMG but Swarms and SMG have been rubbish since the E3 build.
It was skiling into Forge when i realised swarms were pointless.

In response to OP's convo with a corp mate before the reset: I skilled into forge last build up to lvl 4 proficiency. I didnt use the proto because it was too expensive and I preferred breach. But against a properly fit tank and capable driver I needed to be part of an AV team to have a chance to take out a decent tank. This would be a mix of players with proto grenades and speced up foge gunners

Overall, we have hardly skilled in to anything due to the reset and you are calling for nerfs. There aren't any decent fit tanks on the field yet...

I am going to leave it here because this is just another nerf thread.

I am going to leave it here because this is just another nerf thread. exactly... its VERY early on.. militia and low level tanks are going to be easier to kill early on vs later and even now there are few who can solo a tank.. sure a militia tank is as suceptible as any, but there are zero proto tanks on the field atm, and few advanced, and even fewer that have a decent setup. Here's an idea.... why don't we wait a few weeks and let things play out before crying for nerfs and changes. The current status of the battlefield is VERY difficult to gain insight on long term effects of any changes to weapons/vehicles etc. Now I DO agree with a more structured reward system for taking out vehicles, but even that is cause im a money wh0re lol. EVERYONE should have an AV fitting.. and with many people I play with, the second someone brings out a vehicle, we all switch to AV and go hunting. my advice? stop wasting your money on low level tanks.. bide your time and skill up then bring it out... or just roll the dice you get into a room of clueless blueberries (plenty of them around) where your militia tank can yield 20+ kills and not even be blown up lol
