You know guys I've been following this whole AV vs Vehicle debate for quite for some time now and the more threads I read on the topic, the more it reminds me of the republicans vs democrats discussions! And let me tell you something guys, that is NOT a compliment! Now people who know me, know that I'm all about straight talk and I don't dumb myself down for the slowest dude on the forums. So let me lay it down for you guys, cause I don't give a ****!

So what I believe is going on is something all too common in online games. I'm talking about unrealistic expectations, boys and girls. And let me make it crystal clear for you, guys: I don't give a **** whether you're pro AV or pro life, you're all suffering from unrealistic expectations! I mean my God, guys, some people think swarms should one shot a tank, and others tell me how shocked they are when half a team destroy their dropship! Settle the **** down! Let's all calm down, wait and see where CCP is going with this, let's understand their vision and THEN we can start to talk about balance, you **** heads.

This would mean a competent pilot would require a significant AV presence to drop but the scrubs would burn. Also if they did that they would need to nerf forge gun damage to DS with a buff to knock back. (basically you should be more likely to cause a DS to crash then out right kill it with a forge) just my two cents.

Let's all calm down, wait and see where CCP is going with this, let's understand their vision and THEN we can start to talk about balance, you ** heads. well said if more inflammatory then helpful, but the DS/ AV mechanic does need some work, tho not in the standard buff/nerf sense, although frankly I would be ok with a massive HP buff to them, and swarm to have to be dodged instead of out run. Tanks as well need a revisiting, I would really like to see tanks get a massive HP buff, but then we would need to get webbers, or something to keep tanks from running from a coordinated AV attack, and OBs would need a damage buff. all of this is needed more on the high end then the low. I would say they are too effective against ground troops but I never really die to them(unless im being stupid) but rather their fellow ground support which is more a lack of team support problem. LAVs are fine their single greatest weakness was the fact that you might pay an entire matchs isk for one worth a damn and then have to baby sit it in the red line when they were no longer practical, being able to recall vehicles fixes this, although lavs could use a PG CPU buff.
