Yes I agree with the bonuses but they will make armour tanks incredibly op just think of a fully specked pilot suit in a fully specked madruger with 2 heavy reps. Constant high armour regen. It will take at least 2-3 fully specked gunlogis to take it down . Proto av will smash it if theres more than 2 of tgem coordinating but tank v tank madrugers will be so op.

I can't wait till a good armor team uses multiple HAVs to rep one glass cannon. Everyone will cry op then when in fact it is by design. We haven't even started real armor ops yet, looking forward to the river of tears.

I win tool lolno

lol is that because it may take muliple proto AV users *gasp*

Poor AV users they cant 3 shot a tank anymore they need to use teamwork or VA nades and lolswarms as usual

Pilot suit prob get nerfed now, vehicle users end up with a suit that give 1% bonus to something useless while normal infantry dropsuits still give 5% bonus to something good

Having this suit with the current bonuses makes the basic vehicle a bit better since we have no advanced/proto vehicles and are always going against proto AV

I think you need to learn to read, i made it a bit easier for you as i see you struggle to understand (see bold and underlined)

I dont care if it makes it harder for AV'ers, If an AV'er see a tank on the field it shouldnt mean a free kill for them.

btw aren't vehicles meant to over power infantry? I mean they are 50 ton machines that take a long time to make and skill up in. there should be an advantage to skilling into vehicles over infantry, now we have the pilot suit, thank you

IMO it would be pretty balanced if it were:

Pilot Suit Bonus: -2% Module Cooldown per level
Gallente Pilot Suit bonus: +2% armor/shield extender efficacy per level
Minmatar Pilot Suit bonus: +2% turret damage per level

Nice bonus in a game where the different between scrub and proto equipment is 10%. Not too ridiculous.

The bonuses as they are now, especially with how pre-nerfed Commando is, is simply insulting.

Make it 10% for shield vehicles and 6% for armor.

Wouldn't even bother putting my SP into it.

It has to at least be 25% or higher for me to invest that much SP.

Shouldn't vehicles be OP?

I mean if they did not preform better then a guy on foot why would they exist at all?

Wasn't the best start to my day that's for sure.

You know I dont mind vehicles getting a boost but you cannot make them the single power house in the game. Nearly all the maps favor vehicular combat because they are wide open, they are just kept at bay by AV right now. If you overpower vehicles well then all infantry is completely worthless.

Give us some urban maps that make vehicles less advantageous to use and let there be maps where they have a distinct advantage. Im so tired of bowl maps with open desert and no cover im ready for some more variety. Where you're fighting should affect the best strategy to win, not just what you bring to the fight.

vehicles in the open are nothing but targets for anyone with a weapon that can hurt that vehicle
vehicles also have no business in urban environments since its just asking to get AV naded by multiple people

Vehicles in the open (within a certain range for tanks) are completely dominant unless you're a DShip, again they are just kept at bay by AV right now. Break that balance (AV has the clear advantage now) and noone will go out from cover.

But yes vehicles should not be very viable in urban environments, that's the point it's an infantry battle focus.

I said nothing of the sort . But, yes, 1.3 (which was super short to allow the team to get on track with the sped-up release cadence) is now locked. Pilot suits are not in it. Personally, I wouldn't want to put them in until we address other balance issues first.
