Long absence, AV question

[chavr]

I haven't played in a very long time. I thought I'd give it a spin because I had some pretty decent memories while I was deployed. I got to br5 yesterday and was trying out my good ol' striker again, but I must say I'm rather disappointed.

What do the dev's intend for an AV person to do?

I remember being able to kill mossies and reavers.. sometimes. I could kill harrasers and lightnings if I played it right. Max's used to be fair game and I could even put a dent in tanks somewhat. Last night and today though has just been a very long line of death after death while I watch rocket upon rocket fly into vehicles and nothing happen. I couldn't even kill a switchblade for goodness sakes.

It could be that I'm just really, really rusty and there are new tactics to using the striker that I don't know. Right now it just seems like the striker has been nerfed to the point it's nearly useless and that the game has gone from being infantry oriented to favoring vehicles. Any advice would be appreciated because I'm frustrated enough right now I doubt I will continue to play. What's the point of spending 7 certs to get AV (and reinforced for the ammo room) if I can't kill a 3 cert vehicle.
