I understand the use of AV nades, my thinking is that the time and effort spent skilling into each is disproportional for their effect.
AV grenades are a LITTLE too powerful, but not OP. The mere concept of getting CLOSE to a tank to throw something at it is ridiculous.
Forge guns and swarm launchers can damage a tank at great distances and grenades can't. Without AV grenades there wouldnt be a way to kill / scare away tanks at Close range making tanks even more OP.
Dont want AV grenades? keep your distance. |

In other games , tanks take their distance because Close quarter explosives do more damage than long ranges AV weapons.
In other games C-4 is the most dreaded anti tank weapon. Just be grateful that Remote explosives dont stick to surfaces... XD
So yeah playing tanker is not a invincible game style, and at the moment your weakness are AV grenades?
Dont get too close to spawn points or supply depos, cuz they will grenade the sh** out of you.
Thats that.

Pretty much.
I mean AV grenades are the only thing stopping tanks to get into CQC where there is no other weapon suited to take them out.
Grenades: Damage High / Range close
Swarm launchers: Damage Mid / Range Mid-Mid long - Not very useful in CQ situations
Forge gun: Damage High / Range Long - Not very useful in CQ situations
Thats pretty much it....You want to nerf the only viable option at CQ to take care of a tank?

This is not a thread about eliminating AV nades. I believe they have a place and should remain in game. But "...making tanks even more op" makes me think that you're missing the point. Tanks aren't currently functioning in the roll they are/were designed for. I'm saying that, as it currently is, AV does a disproportional amount of damage for their cost in both SP and ISK compared to that of the tank. No where did I say I didn't want AV nades. I'm having a discussion about the balance between tanks and their counters. Taking any of these things out of the game would not even address the issue at all. Even the Anti-Armor starter suit is devastating to vehicles of all kinds. There is no sp or isk investment in that at all.
Th problem is, people think that because vehicles are so expensive they'll get some magic advantage since they spent SO MUCH SP. TRUE AV grenades should not do THAT much damage unless they are proto, but Tank players are not playing smart.
If you get killed by AV grenades, you weren't supposed to be there bro. |

Basically this thread is like someone wearing a PROTO suit complaining about why Regular Assault Rifles kill them..... So you want us back in the hills rail sniping?
i dont mind, do what you have to. i prefer you up there than in my face 5 mts away from an objective to be honest. |

I used tanks in chromosome.
I had bad games where everybody seemed to be using Forge guns..
And games where i would go in between objectives and go 42-0, or in Ambush lol....
I know that Forge guns and swarm launchers cant stop you if you are at CQ range..... |
