I wish there was a way I could start a crusade in which EVERYONE runs AV grenades 24/7. Could you imagine how peaceful the Dust world would be once all vehicle operators have a constant fear of not being able to call in their vehicles due to constant AV pressure at all times. Make them run the red line and play the outskirts of the maps with fear of joining the front lines due to constant AV pressure...... It may seem like a dream, but we can make this a reality

Already onboard used to have 3 of each fit with different nades now it's just 1 av nades all the time. Proto is too expensive to get caught in the open having to lav dance and hope reds don't show.
Yellow murder murder taxis are still a pain though. Wish they had a soft spot like dropships and tanks.
Are you noticing a difference between proto nades vs ex11 packeds? Even with all drop suit fitting skills to v and v nano, light, sidearm, and explosives I just can't find the CPU left without giving up something substantial for them. |

So.... your dream is to want HAVs to constantly Redline Snipe?
AV Nades should be removed or seriously nerfed, like almost all other AV weapons they require no skill, but except these can be carried around by a Cal Logi packing a Duvolle. |

Im not putting AV grenades on my fatty just cuz theres no sense of physics in this game. I just camp in hard to reach places and stay the **** away from anything resembling a road without calling in my own LOLV and snagging a few kills on the ride there. |

It's great, it's like the opposition gift wrapped wp you. KA-BOOM! Here ya go Logi, sorry for all those times I smeared you all over the battlefield.

Like red line sniping takes this "skill" you speak of? Because it requires aim to kill you in two shots with splash damage. Doesn't take aim when the game takes care of tracking the AV grenade towards the target for you. |

The problem is more that the swarm is hilariously bad. The rocket spread usually means that other than completely open terrain that at least on rocket will find a crate to run into instead, you're stuck in Los of the tAnk to kill you and you're totally worthless against any shield tank.
While av grenades are mostly pointless against non militia shield tanking vehicles, you can at least toss them from cover and use them quicker. Though you're mostly useless against ds unless they get a little too aggressive in ground hunting.
The current confusion in tankers is that while armor beats shields, nearly all infantry av is anti armor. So they turn to the forums when they get over run with av shooting them in their weak spot. Introducing some form of shield av for infantry might actually help since itll thin down the armor av and as a plus thin out the logi lav spam.

av grenades honestly hurt the way the game is to be played. allows people to do it all. Not to mention the homing abilities on them create a fire and forget weapon.
just greatly reduce the distance they can be thrown and everything will be okay. Leave the damage so they are still viable |

Always have a AV build of every suit. Even proto AV nades have a tough go on some of the better skilled tanks and drivers. Every logi build gets prox mines so I can at least give LAV drivers the fear of death when I run AP nades. Core locus nades are nasty buggers when used right. |

Remove av grenades ok....create a game mode with no vehicles...ty.
And on the "skill" issue... not much requires player skill on Dust...yet SP.
SP can allow scrubs like me to look like good players.......this game requires little skill,but requires alot of teamwork. |

Have you ever driven a HAV?
You do know that HAV Pilots have to deal with, Invisible Swarms and Missiles taking 90 Degree turns, the Swarm Launcher is far from useless on any HAV, get a Wiyrkomi, CBR7, or even the Basic SL, throw some Complex Damage Mods on and you can destroy both Shield and Armour HAVs.
AV Nades dish out the damage of Forge Guns (Near it anyway), can be insta-supplied by good Nanohives, and as you said can be thrown over cover, and dont require aiming at all. |

No, we complain that the two forms of AV that are most effective, are auto targeting, and get a damage bonus against armor. We complain because they're so stupidly damn effective. |

Until it only takes hlaf as many av grenades to destroy a vehicle.... it is not hard to hit a vehicle without auto tracking, as long as they contact explode vs glitching. |

There should be an increase in tracking capability concurrent with the meta level. Militia grade, very little/stupid tracking. ADV, decent tracking but ditches about 35% of the time with little tracked-player input. PRO level, good tracking, tracked player needs to actively evade. Also, auto explosion needs to remain. |

While I can enjoy the compromise, this is ultimately still just a lav buff. It's incredibly hard to not hit the hav, a hav pilot mightlike to ***** about the tracking but the nades rarely land far from the things.
So hav pilots will still be back to complain, meanwhile all you really accomplish is buffing lavs and giving another, un needed incentive to have even more lavs out on the field.
I still feel that ultimately the problem is that the current hav mentality is to ram all the things because they feel the isk tag price should entitle them to invincible solo pwn mobile, and their deaths tend to be around mostly ramming the red dot line and beingnsurprised when half a dozen av nades land on them.
If anything maybe a Beefier tank class role might be healthier one that gives up extra turrets for more hp so they don't feel as squishy as the enforcer glass cannon frame but have more blind spots from not having the extra two turrets. |

Remove tracking all together, make them explode on contact with a vehicle, damage remains the same.
Done. |
