I often use swarm launchers against tanks, but often find my clone is quickly shot down by infantry. Swarm launcher clones are vulnerable and have slow movement.
Movement is not affected by having a Swarm Launcher fitted.....& you can simply get a Sidearm for Infantry Survivability. Supply Depot = Infinite Ammo/HP if used "Correctly", & you can always swap out to Infantry Fit @ said Supply Depot. There is no way for a Vehicle to swap out Turrets/Modules freely......& the Modules & Base Stat Increases between Vehicle Tiers are not scaled well to the AV DPS Increases. Currently DPS is greater than Survivability on all fronts.
Advanced AV can Solo a Tank. Prototype Swarms melt Tanks w/ Hardeners & Reppers......including Shield Tanks which are supposed to be Heavily Resistant to Explosive Damage. AV Grenades @ Advanced & Proto Levels do as much Damage as Standard & Advanced Forge Guns.....to a Shield Tank (Refer to Explosive Damage), at 3x the Speed/Spamability, with no actual Skill necessary as you can simply hide above or behind cover & watch "Homing Forges" hit your Vehicle from obscene distances w/ no real Risk. Essentially you can have an entire Team have AV Nades & still be Infantry Efficient..... Forge Guns OHKO Infantry, so yeah........
Currently Armor Tanks are.....for lack of a better term.......OP/Broken. Once this Imbalance gets sorted you'll notice the Vast Majority of Tankers who flocked to the OP FOTM drop like paper tissue to AV Grenades & Swarms......then the AV Imbalance will become even more prevalent. Damage Mods broken Stacking Penalty being Fixed will somewhat alleviate the AV Issue.....but will further bring to light the obvious OP that is AV Grenades, as they are more efficient Forge Guns/Swarm Launchers w/o the loss of Infantry Efficiency.....without the ability/need of a Module Buff........jus sayin'. |
