AV weapons

[MYcrimsonTEARS]

man i hate to fight vechs witht he lancer... i can hit them and all but it just seems like im doing nothing but crach paint... how goes the other empiers AV weapons

i wish they would make a new catagory call "anti-max" and put all the AV weapons we have now in there and make brand new AV weapons that are not that avective at fighting max... just a thought.

[Chaaos]

They do have an anit-max. It's the almighty one-shot-kill vs max decimator.

[Tavin]

Decimator-- /shudder

I took 5 of those the other night... my poor Comet MAX!

[Neon Apocalypse]

comets are good

Can't speak for other empire AV weapons, not used them enough but, the much maligned Striker is a sweet weapon IMO. Sat on a base wall the other night with about 5 other striker users and we just flat owned anything that got even near the base (Mags, Threshers, Reavers, Skeeters, MAX's, etc.). Indoors, ya, the Deci is a better choice, in the field, a Striker owns a Deci. I cannot think a better weapon for a grunt to be packing while in the field. I would venture to say 30% of my kills are Striker kills. With the BP the TTK is down a bit but a pack of grunts packing Strikers in the field is something to be feared. I really wish more TR would cert this weapon.


It is also an excellent weapon for the AMS/ANT Driver to carry. That pesky Skeeter bugging you? Stop, jump out paint his ass and drop him out of the sky. It works well for bailingpilots too. I sucked at flying but, wound up winning a lot of my 1-1 engagments because I could bail and drop that wounded enemy with my striker.

yea AV weapons are suppose o be used in groups and thats why they nerfed the striker because one person could own any vehicle.

Doesnt it take 2 shots from a decimator? Each missle is 400 damage and the max has only 800 armor so it takes 2 shots.

Decimator is two shots to kill a MAX.

I hate decimators
*is a MAX specialist*

[ViperGTS]

400 damage? So that would take me out in rexo in one shot?

[Chaaos]

I was just kidding about the one shot kill. Takes 2 to own a max.

[Rayder]

Decimators are devestating against armor, they don't do jack shit against infantry (except MAXs). And MAXs have 650 armor....

[GreyFlcn]

Sure would be nice if they doubled the Lancer projectile speed, and made it so that it took 15 VS energy ammo per shot

Wouldn't do much for it's firepower or storage, but it would make it a fun versitile weapon to carry again

[Rbstr]

Just up the AV damage a good amount on all of them, but leave the AI, Anti-Max and AA damages alone, and we have problem solved.

i agree with rbstr
