Is the AV MAX overpowered? - Page 5

The NC AV MAX is not OP... unless OP stands for "obviously pointless."

The actual damage seems OK - but it isn't easy to aim... going AV makes you very UP to infantry... and it sure isn't easy to sneak up and get behind anyone to really make them pay.

I guess you could combo it up... but then how many situations are you in need of CQC infantry damage AND AV damage? And one of each doesn't feel very powerful...

I think in almost every situation NC is better off going with HA and busting out a rocker launcher.

I've tried the Scattermax + Falcon combo; pretty useless at either role IMO; Scattermax a bit lame used singly (I haven't bought the second Scat), and the Falcon especially so; no one salvo kill, and single use vehicle damage is pitiful; you can't outpace an engi repairing a Sunderer (can with dual Falcons). And using 2 weapons with different rates of fire and damage patterns simultaneously is a nightmare.
