Also for those people who run dedicated AV i have a quesiton... what kind of isk reward do you get for Running AV? If you kill the tank most of the isk goes to the guy at the top of the leaderboard whereas the person who spent the game avoiding red dots and trying to get a half decent shot on the tank go 1-4 with 200 WP's and 100k isk for your effors which isn't enough to even pay for the AV suites.
This post right here is very true. In many cases when I have to go into heavy-av mode I realize that my WP and by extension my SP reward will be limited, despite being able to snipe people with my forge cannon, and that my isk balance for the game could easily be negative as I'm dropping 70-80k isk a suit and the total match reward will be between 150k and 300k. Although I enjoy the feeling of costing someone 1-2Mil isk and don't really mind it if it cost me isk for the game to pop their, I do acknowledge it will only be a matter of time before I decide I would rather quit an obvious tank roll. The one things that matters is my SP total at the end, and often when I find myself chasing a tank all game ill finish with around 500-800 SP instead of the 1500 I would get going non-av. The games I don't go AV won't make up for the lost time of the games that I do AV simply because of the sp cap.
I can't count the number of times I have dropped 3 Ex-0 AVs and 3 assault forge shots into a tank to watch a tank get popped by someone else's militia swarm launcher, or worse a locus or some side-arm, and not received any points because the assist points went to someone with an AR that was just tagging it. Just as annoying is when you put them to the point where they are on fire and burn to death while you are still shooting them.
As far as the orbital strikes go. Unless they do double damage to shields and no damage to armor, I would have to say they are strong enough as they are. If you don't pop a tank with your OB then you either called it in the wrong spot, or they got lucky and were shielded/missed by the beams. I have both survived a dead-on OB strike and been popped by the blast AE while full health under a building. |
