Terrible idea coming from a terrible player in a terrible corporation. Seriously, you guys seem to bring up any small and irrelevant issue that interferes with your play-style.

Maybe that's why the alliance is called Negative Feedback?

On the other hand, you could at least provide insight as to why you don't like the idea instead of simply flaming them ... makes you look like more of an idiot.

Well I dont use tanks and I use AV nades almost exclusively for AV builds and I still think the AV nades lock on is too large of a radius. You can miss horribly and still hit a vehicle due to this lock on. I am not even saying to get rid of it but make it so that you have to at least throw in the general direction for it to lock on and hit the vehicle. This change would actually only hurt me because I dont use any vehicles in the game and right now its pretty lolsy to chuck an AV in the general direction of a vehicle and watch it blow up. It would be nice to make it a tad bit more necessary to throw accurately. But thats my 2 cents. I know this community will go crazy if they took out the homing feature entirely.

BS you are in the OPs corp and probably run with him.

You don't just throw AV grenades and 'watch it blow up'. Maybe with scrap LAVs, but everyone in them knows that's their risk. You have to:

1) Get the grenades on you, which requires having an AV fit and either starting with it (making you more vulnerable), getting to a supply depot, or dieing. None of which maximizes your lethality while you are attempting to...

2) Get within throwing distance (30-40m) of the tank in question. This is a difficult task in itself. The tank moves, and has turrets that shoot at you, and often other people around it shooting at you.

3) Aim 'towards' the vehicle and throw. I don't know about you, but it doesn't work for me if I hit a wall with my grenade or throw it in the other direction. You generally have to throw it towards the tank.

The burden of proof is on you right now that it is 'easy' to kill a smart gunlogi or madruger driver. It takes as much coordination to take one out as it does for one of them to kill 20-30 people (which is next to none since they take practically no coordination). And that trade itself is not exactly 'fair' as you can trade a tank for a 30 players and you (tank team) will probably win a match. When districts are worth a few billion in income a week and the battles for them are a fraction of that, the isk loss will hurt much less than the strategic superiority that they temporarily give a team.

Because there's no justification for it at all. If you're trying to run someone down with an LAV and you take an AV Grenade to the face, you can't be angry and want to nerf the AV Grenades. They do their job and there's a lot of flaws in using them - namely having to get in remarkably close to the target in order to effectively use them.

That, and if the vehicle had proper infantry support (or just stuck near infantry to begin with) they wouldn't be a problem at all as the source would be eliminated.

I honestly don't know why this is such an issue that it needs it's own thread - the only time that you're ever going to face AV Grenades is when it's own fault: I.E rushing infantry head on with no support or simply trying to be brave and thinking you can kill the person before they kill you with the AV Grenades.

There really is no justification for it other than your own personal user error, something YOU DID to put yourself in that position. Don't bash something that's effective and doing what it's supposed to do because you can't counter it.

And for the record, I'm a dropship pilot and I know that if I get too close to the ground that there's a chance I'll take an AV grenade or two. Does it stop me from extracting my team from a hostile situation? Absolutely not. It's a risk that has to be taken.

Edit: Further more, I'd like to bring up that the only HAVs that -can- be killed by the standard 3 AV Grenades are militia variant. A properly fit tank will laugh at an AV Grenade user and if worse comes to worse the driver can always jump out; the source of the AV Grenades has to use terrain to their advantage.

A good tank driver doesnt spearhead into the whole infantry team and expect to live. Most of the time you all do that you will have 4-5 players throwing av's at the same time. Av's are fine, it's your lack of skill as in abilities as well as sp placed into the right skills that make you weak. Ever since tanks were made, infantry have found easy ways to kill them when the drivers get to close, and you expect the future to be no different. Stop qqing, learn to use your cooldowns, and learn to stay at a range from infantry, you know, what they are designed for. Stop crying wolf players.

This is about more than tanks- LAVs that try actually shooting people don't stand a chance.
Even well-tanked ones can't survive getting hit multiple times within a couple seconds.

I have a lav, the shield type, with the long blaster. I simply park in a defendable position and mow down players, jump back into the driver seat and drive away once infantry are within their range. AV's don't pop me, nor flux, if I use my equipment wisely.

Exacly you have a saga... try doing something similar in a Methana (Armor LAV). Even well armored Methanas (fitting costs 200k+) are two shotted by packed av nades. So if you do anything other than run people over at high speeds your probly going to get melted before you can turn on any modules or put enough range between you and an AV nade to not get hit by the second lob.
