Kwik Draw Traitors Function 9	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:20:00 - [1] - Quote Is the mass driver able to take down tanks? How can I use it as an AV weapon? Should I pair it with AV grenades or is it good on its own? seems like i shoot a heck of a lot of nades into stuff and they dont blow up, could it just need an upgrade? scared ot upgrade because it seems so sissyish. Let me know guys, Thanks.

Polish Hammer Conspiratus Immortalis League of Infamy 405	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:22:00 - [4] - Quote MDs aren't traditionally used to take on any vehicles higher than LAVs (the cars). Some use them on dropships if they get too close, but i've rarely seen it. It's primarily a crowd control weapon.
ladwar Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 409	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:26:00 - [5] - Quote it is not for vehicles.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 2996	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:31:00 - [6] - Quote Mass Driver doesn't hit shields hard enough to threaten a vehicle, but Flux + MD is dangerous to Caldari LAVs, and can hurt Caldari tanks, but probably not kill unless you're running Proto MD against a Sica. EDIT: Mass Driver does more damage to armour than shields, but it doesn't hit hard enough to be a viable threat against an armour-tanked vehicle. Even an un-modded Starter Baloch is tough enough to take a bit of work to kill.

Tiel Syysch Imperfects Negative-Feedback 801	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:34:00 - [8] - Quote I forget the exact numbers, because I'm not using them anymore, but I think they were in the realm of 20-40ish% efficiency vs HAV and dropship, and 80-ish% vs LAV? Could hurt LAVs and definitely blow them up if you could empty a full clip into one, but anything else you're not really going to scratch unless it's already on fire. Dropship efficiency might have been in the realm of LAV, I forget, but I do know I killed one once with a friend dual mass drivering it, but I forget if we did 100% of the damage or if we only finished it off.
Xender17 Oblivion S.G.X 70	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:41:00 - [9] - Quote You know what I just realized... Why the hell are light weapons effective against HEAVY attack vehicles... Shouldn't they be heavy to be effective?

Flux allows you to be both AV and Anti-infantry rather then full blown AV. Flux + MD = terrifying for heavies.
Ryder Azorria Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 316	Posted - 2013.05.15 22:20:00 - [12] - Quote Flux grenades do MASSIVE damage to shields, but nothing to armour Locus grenades are your standard HE grenades, they do more damage to armour than shields though. AV grenades as you've already gathered murder vehicles, but are useless against infantry. Flux grenades + Mass Driver are a deadly anti infantry combination - so if you're speccing into MDs it's definitely worth your while to have a fit with them, and a fit with AV grenades for the times when you're against a bunch of vehicles. It might also be worth making a Flux + swarm launcher full AV fit, flux to take out the shields, swarms against the exposed armour.

If you throw one at someone, they'll panic. Other than that though they might chuckle and then shoot you in the face. Flux/MD combos are the way to go as most people have said. Also, if you're going to use AV grenades against vehicles, try to work on the LAV/HAV/Dropships shields first.
Ryder Azorria Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 318	Posted - 2013.05.15 22:42:00 - [18] - Quote AV grenades stick to vehicles and do massive amounts of damage to them, very good at taking out LAVs (cars), and a few can seriously hurt a tank - so they're far from useless, but not good for taking out infantry.
