After running this and a couple of alts on vehicles, I've come to the conclusion that AV has been buffed to the point where to rival HAVs they screw over LAVs and dropships.
Considering even the "Best" dropships can be locked down out of their job by a single militia AV guy, and LAVs aren't even worth mentioning, something needs to change. 700k ISK for a flying paperweight, or 300k for a Ford Pinto. Not very appealing, is it?
But at the same time, AV needs to challenge HAVs or we're all in for a bad time.
I think it's time for a discussion! |

You've never had AV on you're back in a dropship by the sounds of it. It's either run away for the rest of the match, or lose the dropship. |

and dropships take 2 hits from a lvl 4 rail HAV and live thats crazy
HAV can be godly with the right fit
AV is ez to spec into and youse so if you dont know what your doing or how to spec an HAV LAV Dropship most likely you will lose it
I doubt his LAV took 4 proto swarms. I can max stack a saga and only take 3 regular swarms, and that's dying on the third.
Dropship is more believable, but argument is moot because that's not AV, it's a turret. |

I'm not talking about buffing HAVs
Also, I killed a 5k gunnlogi today with a militia forge gun. Your point is invalid. |

Skihids wrote:I've posted threads on the problem of balancing AV, HAVs, and DSs before. It comes down to either tanking the DS like a HAV or giving it counter measures. I favor the latter with a healthy dose of skill based evasion ability to keep piloting a distinct profession rather than a simple flying LAV that anyone and his brother can do well in with no practice.
My personal opinion: Swarms don't take "skill" to lock a target, so why should breaking the lock require it? |

That happened three times in the same match before he hit me with a second before I could get away and repair, so I know it was no double hit. You obviously weren't the one shooting or you would know what HAVs can do. How many hp does your fit have? I know I have, several times, been removed of 6000 hp in one shot.
Sounds like a glass cannon gunnlogi |
