I know there is a ton of threads about this but I ask for a balance , -They are cheap -They frigging home in on vehicles -Anti ARMOR again why do you love shields so much CCP? -Spam spam spam you can get 18 nades with one nanohive -Doesn't take a lot of CPU PG or a important slot
Please CCP don't just read this with a blind eye.
Thank you. |

Only problem is their homing radius, they should require you to throw somewhere around said vehicle to home in, other than that they're fine |

Thank you. Flux are way more devistating to shields. They pass by resist and everything. Ya sorry but they are not kinder to shields. Just peoples av of choice is av nades because of there ease of use. |

Basic ones hardly do any damage against well armored vehicles, so it's not that bad. Plus they do take up an important slot, the grenade slot. If you have an AV grenade, you don't have a locus grenade if you need a quick infantry kill in a tight situation. If you have an AV grenade, you don't have flux grenades if you need to wipe out shields.
Which brings up another point, shields only seem so good because of the lack of people using flux grenades. These things have a huge blast radius and can wipe out your shields seemingly regardless of how high you have them. I've run across a few heavies which apparently went all shield tanking instead of armor tanking, a quick flux grenade in their general vicinity and shields are gun, then just a few shots and they drop pretty fast. Works well against HAV's as well. |

Problem is with user. Try building tanks and vercs to the reality of game and not how feel the game should be. Secondly if ur close enough to get by A/V nades and don't have inf support u have made a mistake. A/V nades provide an effective counter to verc spam and are easily countered with smart thinking |

Yeah. Packed AVs do nothing to buffed STD tanks. I'm thinking about skilling up grenadier, but damn, crying for AV nades nerf is stupid.
Hell! To get my STD LAV out you need two Packed AVs at once, otherwise I will rep. This is just silly. What do you want to nerf, they're already MLT-only counter.
Also prox explosives are pointless currently. Buff needed here. |

It's not that they're homing grenades- it's that they're HOMING IMPACT GRENADES |

I don't have over 3 million SP already like all you IMPs so I'm still using the basic AV grenades, but the proto ones do about 1.5 times the damage if I recall? Haven't checked in awhile so please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways I've ran across some tanks where my AV grenades barely nudged them. Not sure that extra bit of damage would of really mattered.
So quite frankly, I have no idea what you're (correct usage) talkin about bro "lol"

They are really only good for taking out cars. Taking out a tank with them is a pain, unless you are using militia. |

I just started using AV nades the other day on my assault suit, and boy do I love them! No longer am I at the mercy of those annoying gnats known as LAV's, in fact I get all giddy when I am running my AV nade suit and somebody pulls out a LAV on the enemy team
I absolutely love luring them in by taking a couple shots at their car to get their attention, then as they approach thinking they are getting a easy run-over kill or heavy pop-out routine, BOOM! Even if a heavy jumps out, the explosion hurts them big time, which puts them on almost equal ground for a close-range 1v1 against my Gek.
AV nades are a great way for regular infantry to still have a gun-game but get decent AV capability without giving up their light weapon slot for a swarm (nothings worse than getting stuck with swarms, no vehicles, and no way to change out suits). But they also sacrifice the ability to use regular nades, which for me is hard to get used to since I really love a properly cooked nade at the foot of a heavy.
LAV's are really the only ones super vulnerable to AV nades, and perhaps cowardly tank drivers who bring one in a ambush match (for which they deserve to be massacred by AV nades). Sadly tankers can mostly get away unscathed in this situation, that is until players start making a habit of creating an alt suit that has AV nades over their infantry-killing preference. AV vs tank in skirmish is a lot less useful, and seems to be better at getting a tank to back off to let the real AV players take care of them. |

You are required to throw them around the vehicle...they have a seeking radius. And the more powerful the grenade, the lower the seek radius.
AV grenades are perfectly fine. I'm tired of hearing guys complain about an anti-vehicle weapon that is effective against vehicles. If you get solo'ed by AV grenades then it is your own fault for standing their and taking it like Jenna Jameson |

Tanks dont move that fast bro,
you got kids running their LAVs to your tank from the side or behind jumping out after letting the LAV ram you first, then chucking as many AV nades as the full LAV could.
Same problem with swarms as AV nades, it doesnt take any skill whatsoever, you just lock and shoot from 500m away or you just chuck and seek.
Wheres my auto tank weapons that auto seek AV users? |

Lol too easy to use?? They're grenades...all you have to do is throw them. Are they supposed to have a scope on them or a camera sight :D?
AV grenades are our only defense against guys driving LAVs all around you. On the occasion, I don't have AVs, I'll have a LAV literally backing up and maneuvering to hit me until he does. |

You're joking about requiring skill, right? They work as intended....they were never weapons that required to use skill.
You know where the skill is?? Staying alive while you're using them to destroy tanks |

Why must everything require skill? Are you really that desperate to prove you are the best internet space mercenary?
Having weapon that are more about being in the right place at the right time are just as viable an option as weapons that require manual aiming. Sure you can equip a swarm launcher and AV grenades to a suit, but it's not going to do jack squat if you just stand around and straight up charging will get you killed every time. |

you know how many helpless swarm launchers that I'll smoke? Swarm launchers has to worry about infantry killing them so easily. And getting close enough to a tank with AV grenades is not easy. A nub tank driver....sure, you can get to him easy. But tankers like Sir Meode, etc.....it isn't easy to run up on them, especially when they have gunners.
And like I've said before....any tank driver that allows one guy to chuck 6 grenades at him deserves to get his tank delivered |

In order for your smg to be effective...you'd have to be close and you'll lose a 1v1 to a GOOD heavy more times than you'll win. And the same with an AR as they'll shoot you from a distance..especially if you're trying to use the swarm |

It makes sense that they don't because maybe the antivehicle grenades are built with high power magnets or heat seek or something. That's why they're duds against infantry |
