Going to ask this here before I make a bug report or start searching the bug section.

Well my question is thus I have a vehicle using alt when driving in a LAV all my modules work fine, however when driving a HAV armour rep's sometimes dont activate well they do I bring the wheel up select the rep it highlights and starts the cycling however it doesn't actually do anything to repair my armour just cycles then enters cool down. Is this a known issue?

I noticed recently that when hit by a forge gun or a rail turret that the dropship hit indicator often indicates the hit from the wrong direction. To save you a read I put it into a video with gameplay, examples, freeze frames. Sit back and see the bug.

It matters because its hard in a dropship. We donGÇÖt need our equipment to lie to us.

Forged Forge

Odd idea your isk reward is influenced by what u bring into the battle. So u deploy a tank you get at least half the cost back. The other half of your isk payout is based as normall. No idea what affect this would have but it would isk payouts in matches

English, i've specced into Proto swarms just to see what it's like. It's scary. Specially if you are Armor tanking. I shouldn't be able to stand on one place with two nanohives and take out 4 tanks. The map with the bridge on it, i held back 4 tanks on my own, from objective "D"... The tanks could barely reach objective "E". If they push up to the bridge somehow, they had to retreat or they were put down. The damned Logi Lav did better than Madrugars. lol

the point is, it shouldn't be that way

Just been messing around on my HAV alt, using a Madrugar with 1k shields 10% resists on them and 6.3k ish armour. Drove through a compound got 4 kills 3 assists, kept moving for fear of AV nades didn't take a hit though. Got out the other gate drove towards the furthest objective. Hears a swarm launch and activates active 20% hardener SL takes out all of shields and 1kish armour, I activate my repper as the second round lands second round takes me to just over 1k armour get behind a wall to rep last set of SL rounds does 90 degree turn and gets me behind the wall finishing me off.

What I learned from this 2mil SP into tanking is not enough 7k ish combined ehp is low. Proto SL can 3 shot a 7khp tank with 10% shield and 20% armour resists with armour repper going as well.

Might spec into proto swarms lol.

My opinion from another thread:

Dust suffers from the same problem as Planetside 2 with their Infantry vs Armour balance.

Because both are a class based game where you can flip to anti-armour during a match you have serious problems with scaleability, especially between disorganised matches and organised matches and between 1v1 vs 4v4 vs 16v16.

In a disorganised pub-match you already have HAVs that are functionally unkillable by 2 guys with advanced launchers requiring these guys to upgrade all the way to proto to kill him. However, take that same tank into an organised match and he gets vaporised instantly due to concentrated fire from 4 guys with proto launchers. In fact that set of 4 guys can permanently deny the entire battlefield to any vehicle because all they need is a nanohive or supply depot. The Commando suit has actually exacerbated this problem by allowing people that 2-way AI & AV bet.

So now what do you do? Do you give him an insane proto tank capable of surviving in that environment? If so, he's going to be completely unkillable in a pub-match, he just deploys his Proto-God-HAV and goes 50-0. There will simply never be enough AV on the field to kill him. The two guys who go AV will eventually get sick of dying and just let him farm and stay out of his way.

You also can't solve this problem with ISK pricing because that doesn't help.

The only way to really get to the basis of this problem is to revisit the entire AV ammo vs Vehicle HP/ repair mechanic.

Vehicles repair too quickly and have too high a resistance for 1 opponents but don't have enough HP to survive lots of opponents. AV is too weak with 1 person but then scales too readily with numbers.

How do you fix this? Not easy. You could try moving the vehicle dynamic to give them a lot more HP but a lot less regen and resistance so it becomes more about attrition. A tanker will simultaneously become more aggressive yet a lot more cautious if he knows he can survive a brief encounter easily but needs to stretch his HP over the match because its difficult to repair him.

Then you adjust the AV dynamic by making missile (or forge) ammo more complicated to come by for large numbers of people. Remove missiles from supply depots, missile only nanohives with long cooldowns to force choices and stop AV units being resupplied by respawning infantry, etc etc etc.

No, A heavy machine gun should not destroy gallente assault rifle at all ranges

the regular heavy machine gun already out damages duvolles in terms of stats

if it werent for the hmgs accuracy and range and speed it would be top gun by a longshot

Because the game consists of multiple modes and you can balance for both modes at once. If you over-balance for one mode and ignore the other then half your game falls apart.

You may not care what happens outside PC matches but fortunately the developers do.

Lastly, you clearly don't understand my point because I am also saying that a tank needs to be able to survive in the shitstorm of a PC match.

Also, where the **** is CCP BLAM!?

As for vehicles, we'll be saying something about them in the next day or two.

Gone.

By you comparing them you're basically saying it's op. just saying

But look at the draw backs from a forge gun. Slow moving duck, Way less health than any vehicle. It's a gun that requires charge time. The assault forge gun has no charge hold. So it's load and fire not load hold wait for it fire.
So what's the problem? Seriously, lost to many tanks? Don't sit still when a forge hits you. People really got to stop complaining, the only risk you have using a tank is the cost. Using a forge gun you have way more risk. Vs infantry vs vehicle. The weapon it self. So why cry?
