Not at all. Have it be a shaped charge grenade.

Basically, have it do massive damage on contact, but it only detonates on contact with vehicles, and its splash is nonexistent.

If people didn't use Proto Turrets against STD Drop Suits, there wouldn't be a problem.


Jokes aside. In the real world, a single AV shot can destroy a tank. Because this is a game, it would be incredibly un-balanced if you could one shot tank. So it take multiple hits from AV to pop a tank. The biggest factor that makes tanks crap is that there are too many crap pilots who don't understand the strengths and weaknesses of their own tank. I have seen far too many tanks destroyed because they tried to "tank" AV fire. Even after CCP gave tanks a major buff in HP, crap pilots still flock to the forms to ***** that their tank doesn't have enough HP or that AV is too powerful. This speaks volumes about how much Dust tank pilots suck. Community, I call on you to buff to tanks with better pilots so that forums aren't drowning in crappy pilot tears. CCP can't do it, only you can.

This is actually antiquated, if we are talking about cutting-edge technology:

There are also other forms of Aggressive Defensive Systems, as well as internal defenses that make it significantly harder to destroy modern Main Battle Tanks. Even turret jamming is not as common as it once was, though still an appreciable problem. Irregardless, disabling a modern MBT is much more difficult then it was in the cold war era. This area is what I spend my life/job/freetime around. Modern warfair is significantly more complicated then it was a mere decade or two ago. Take for example the new acoustic systems that have been deployed for a while that can triangulate an identify a shooter along with his weapon type and range and location in actual combat time.

As my last note: This universe that we play in has magical shields that negate 100% of all damage until the shield buffer is destroyed... Realism be damned.

Gameplay >> Realism

I always find it funny when someone tries to claim that one of the "trade offs" for forge guns is that they are weak against infantry.

They are OHK against any infantry unit in the game, how is that possibly "weak against infantry?" They are one of the better anti-infantry weapons in the game. especially in the average mid-range encounter. Let's not even talk about how easy it is to "forge gun snipe" infantry from above. It's easier than using a regular sniper rifle.

+1 so I could -1

If people didn't use PROTO AV (which is dirt cheap) against STD HAV's, there wouldn't be a problem.

The lack of a vehicle lock means that someone is able to steal your vehicle and turn it against you. I see no problem with this.

So are you saying that random blueberries stealing your vehicles is ok, or that you think anyone who doesn't play PC doesn't get a say?
