Hey look, another AV thread.
I run tanks and dropships. And if you're a decent pilot you can avoid most of the AV and really be an asset to your team. If you run into someone throwing Packed Lai Dai(overpowered as it is), and lose your tank, usually it's your fault. Don't get out of the way of that pesky CBR7? Usually your fault( unless you're in a logi dropship).
That being said, I believe AV needs tweaking. Keep in mind that we are running STANDARD vehicles against PROTO AV weapons. And as if its not already difficult enough piloting around people who spam CBR7/Wyrikomis, the swarms seem to be invisible about 45-50% of the time. Proto AV+Standard Tank+ Invisible swarms= bad day for tanks.
How about some warning system for tanks and dropships that have a lock on them from swarms? Maybe a Chaff system? A turret or module dedicated to anti-AV? To be so far in the future, anti-AV measures sure are primitive. Or even just fix the invisible swarms. Maybe it's a rendering problem... Maybe it's a server problem. It's not my net(30MB/s).
Hopefully in 1.4 AV might have a hard time taking down our 2-4 million ISK vehicles. |

I agree that invisible swarms are a big problem, given that without directly sighting an Anti-armor fit, defense against them is made much harder. Since tanks have warning systems for proximity mines and A/V grenades on the ground, why not use the same warning system when swarm missiles acquire a lock?
Maybe in a few months we will get some countermeasures. I understand that pulling this game together and putting all of the mechanics into play for so many people is a daunting task, especially when a lot of people really don't spend any money in-game to contribute to the devs. The invisible swarms are my biggest complaint. It really wasn't a problem until the last update. |

I think you are mistaken. No matter how well you are fit, rendering issues that make players invisible at a certain distance who can lock onto your vehicle and shoot soundless, invisible swarms are a pilot's number one demise. You fit a tank and tell me if you can take 3-4 people shooting you with CBR7 invisible swarms.
I think you honestly missed the point of this post. It wasn't a complaint, just feedback on a valid issue. |
