I just ran a 17/0 match doing nothing but running fools over in my Methana while lagging like you wouldn't BELIEVE. It got to the point that most of the other team was hopping on installations and pulling out swarms and AV grenades to try to drop me. Is AV REALLY THAT BAD now?
If it helps, I am running a very basic Methana build. Nanofiber 60mm plate, militia BPO PG extender (not the power diagnostic unit), IGL Polarized armor repair, militia DCU and a ST-1 Cycled missile launcher. (spent all my points into my character build so had very little for LAVs) |

yep AV is horrible... its in dire need of a buff 
just cause 3 Lai Dai packed AV nades can take out a well equipped Madrugar shouldnt be a deterrant, or 2 shotting gunnlogis with a forge.
framerate is what needs a buff... vehicles from everyone but those inside its' viewpoint skips everywhere across the map, affecting the ability to ever hit the damn things |

Cubs I don't see how you having 2 levels of proficiency higher than me on the ishukone makes so much of a difference. The only tanks I 2 shot are the milita tanks when they have no rechargers left. A half decent gunloggi will not get 2 shot as any of these half decent dropships can take 4 hits w/o popping.
My brother and I are still able to pop tanks, but it has become a lot more difficult. Tanks are faster which probably relates to that framerate deal you are talking about. The framerate might also explain why my forge gun has shot through vehicles for no damage.
It is not a well equiped madrugar either if 3 lai dai can pop it. We put 6-9 into them before they pop. |

Well unlike the vehicle I am hunting, I happen to have limited ammo...now with ammo hive only having enough nanite clusters to give me back 3 grenades and 100 rounds of ammo IF I am lucky enough and it doesn't hit a pebble and disappear before it finishes sliding on the ground.
Add in the fact that nanite clusters generally DO NOT increase (yeah, they just about double from 36 at standard level & 72 at advanced & proto, when you get to the advanced & proto level BUT they still just disappear before landing 1/3 of the time) when you shell out the 3X SP for the Nanocircuitry but for the most part the nano-hives are for personal use only.
And then once you throw the nano-hive down, that is it, it is down for good..... while the tank or LAV is on the other side of the map.
The fact that CCP removed the gauged nano-hive means that you have to be absolutely sure you want to throw down the ones you got. Now they did leave the Proto gauged.... but you need a ton of CPU to fit that beast....and the Stones to roll with a nano-hive & a suit that can use it; which usually costs more than the suit and the gun that killed you combined-- spice it up with the fact that you still have to hunt the vehicle half the time and that throwing it down in front of it and having it speed over is not doing much, and if it just taps you at any speed it kills you 1/2 the time.
But wait there is more... You just about destroyed the vehicle, did 95% of the damage to it.... died 5 times to it's 3 turrets, and don't have another nano-hive to throw down because 4 idiot blueberries have taken a break from lining up in front of the enemy for slaughter and further decided that they didn't want to carry nano-hive themselves, some player with militia AV gets the kill and you get no assist points even..... or better yet the vehicle then explodes due to being on fire and only giving out an assist to you -- if nobody else shoots it or it doesn't hit the wall trying to run away. |

AV nades like to bounce off of fast moving objects AND lost some tracking capability.
swarms are still dummer then an RDV (that's BAD)
and not enough people use FG's |
