It's been a very long while now but ever since the last build, my Gunnlogi melts like butter underneath orbitals. Even with 60% resists and 6700 shield, I always hit less than 500 shields during every orbital. If I've had any damage before the orbital, I'm good as dead. Before this build, I'd lose no more than 2000 shields.
Back then I didn't need to worry about having a lot of shield, so I had 5000 shield plus shield booster so I can get back into action. Now I need to have 6700 shields and no booster. Now with every orbital I have to retreat and hide at my main spawn point for minutes. Precious time that I could be helping out the team instead.
Bottom line: shield HAVs need a buff. |

Wait. Orbitals slightly annoy you and make you be out of action for like a minute without too much danger because of silly redline mechanics meaning AV cant take advantage of your damaged state...
and you need a buff?
OOOOOOK. |

Weren't shield stacking/hardener penalties messed up for a while? Maybe they fixed that. And sorry if an orbital can't take out or severly weaken a tank, then something is wrong with that scenario. |

It's a massive airstrike. It should do a lot of damage. perhaps you need to spec into a better tank, i don't know i'm not a tanker. But i do know that tanks are fine the way they are Av could use a slight nerf but other then that everything is pretty great vehicle wise. (except the dropship) |

Lol say that again when I'm on your team and I'm hiding at base for four and a half minutes before I can do anything useful again.
My point here is that armor HAVs will eat orbitals for breakfast in addition to taking infantry AV damage. Orbitals are a lot more damaging to shield HAVs than armor HAVs, in addition to the fact that AV is more damaging to shields than armor. |

Again, my point here is that armor will eat AV for breakfast while shield will have to run away screaming like a little girl, yelling for her blueberries to kill the forge gunner that's too far underneath the firing angle of the main turret. |

If my team has any sort of HAV superiority on the ground, first off, chances are the enemy isnt getting an orbital. Secondly, even if they do, you just saved my butt being the target instead of me. Third, you being out of commission for 4 minutes is ok, youve probably provided a massive distraction for the rest of the match to let me just shoot a lot of faces uncontested.
This game feels like easy mode when any sort of HAV is on my team. |

The purpose of an OB is to reward a team by giving them a way to effectively counter the enemy tactics. The fact that it does not out and out destroy is is enough to say that you have a good vehicle set up; many tanks die, and this is the way it should be. HAV is not desgined to be a win button. |

Yeah but the simple thing is that I used to be able to eat orbitals for breakfast and now I have to run while holding my pants up. That's my main question: have orbitals changed? |

1. HAV's were instant win buttons and went through a rebalancing
2. If you were in a corp battle, it is possible/likely that you experienced an OB from an Eve pilot, and not from the warbarge. |
