Um...skill into better vehicles?

I know for a fact that I can take down any militia LAV with one shot of a swarm launcher. I can also take down any militia tank with a militia swarm. I also know that it's very hard to even try taking down a standard tank or well fit LAV with militia swarms.

Most players have not skilled into better swarm launchers, but a few players have skilled into AV fittings. This means that 95% of the players you're playing against will not be able to take you down if you're in a well fit standard vehicle vs a militia one.

One can only buff a dropship so far, about 5k eHP for a Myron.

Given the fact that a dropship is visible from just about anywhere on the map because it's hanging in the sky it can be targeted by numerous SL users spread all over the map. It's next to impossible to avoid them and most of the maps provide little to no cover to a dropship unless it decides to hide and be useless.

Missile ECM is a part of every military technology. DUST requires it and the devs have promised it (SOON TM).

CODE Breaker93 Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 11	Posted - 2013.02.04 17:37:00 - [1] - Quote My only issues with vehicles in Dust514 (and this may just be me) is that vehicles have no defense against swarm laughers and its almost a certainty when you see this swarm missiles in the air the you're dead or your vehicle is at least. And no matter how good a driver and pilot you are, you will get hit. My suggestion is adding a flare module or an EMP burst to fit the futuristic them of Dust514.

You would have you have some good gunners on hand to shoot them down. And they should add weapons for the pilot too use and a pilot POV possibly

I failed to consider how weak the militia stuff is. But further into the future, after the game is out, mercs might begin to build strong AV suits and be more dangerous.

Now I did have like 3 new berries firing at me at once and that's a bit much, though survived by playing smart till I hit a lamp pole.
Coleman Gray Coalition Of Goverments 47	Posted - 2013.02.04 22:28:00 - [13] - Quote It would make swarm launchers pretty useless tho, they can't hit infantry, if you hit a tank you may remove it's shields if your lucky. Drop ships tho I agree with since they are a troop transport thats made to go into combat zones, why would it not have an anti missile defense? But for buggy's and tanks? no way surely that'd be unfair?
Knarf Black Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 397	Posted - 2013.02.04 22:51:00 - [14] - Quote Swarm countermeasures are a great idea. (I say this as a swarm user, btw.) Stipulations: -Not for HAV -Has finite uses (ammo) -Relatively low CPU/PG usage They could even have different kinds: automatic, limited use types and more effective versions that must be manually deployed.

I would actually feel safer in my LAV than most HAVs because HAVs take much longer to retreat.
