Care to explain why it should take a team effort to take down any HAV ? ... maybe when a HAV takes a team effort to operate.
No matter how much it costs or requires in sp investment, nothing should allow one player to dominate an entire team without risk of loss. AV should be a viable counter to vehicles and same level gear should be repatively balanced ... that means a militia swarm or forge should be able to solo a militia HAV, even a well fitted one so long as the AV fit is damage modded (I'm not saying one hit kill, it should be difficult but possible ... which it is) ... scaling up, a basic swarm/forge should manage a basic HAV ... an advanced AV for an advanced HAV and proto AV for proto HAVs ... the problem is proto HAVs have only ever been in DUST very briefly, so you people seem to be under the impression the Surya and Sagaris are the proto level ... they're not ... that would be the Black Ops HAVs.
That being said ... as the meta level increases the difficulty to solo should diminish, such that a Sagaris or Surya should be pretty difficult to solo with its respective AV (swarms for armor etc.) ... which they almost always have been ... and a proto HAV should be near impossible to solo, which it will be with its cloak, it will require someone with active scanner n webs etc.
Long story short ... other than the (I agree) unnecessary removal of the pg bonus skill, and the unnecessarily heavy nerf missiles previously saw (but they had been so op for so long) ... HAVs have been working very well and balanced all things considered.
If you think you've got something to complain about ... take a look at dropships and then think again.
Also you all state how sp intensive and costly it is to drive a HAV ... well take a look at entry level logistics and compare it to your entry level HAVs.
My opinon as a previous Surya driver (E3) ... previous AV specialist (until Uprising) ... and current logibro ... yes I like a challenge ! |
