New C4 damage to tanks + Video

And before long, we will (likely) no longer be able to shoot our own AV mines to detonate them.

Tanks one hit with direct hits only, I can drop a shell 6 inches from your feet and you wont die.

If it only takes 10 seconds for a MBT to burn out, I could accept that. Force the engineer to bail from the tank. Lightnings should still pop, IMO.

stop using AP rounds then?

Doesn't matter, HE and HEAT do not one shot unless it is direct hit.

So don't shoot at my feet.

C4 is just now less of a cheap kill. If you're fighting with an outfit, this changes very little.

I'm 100% okay with this change. It should never have been easier to kill a MBT with C4 than a Sunderer.

Cheap kill? is sitting on a hill farming infantry with heat rounds the highest achievement of humankind?

What does this have to do with C4 vs tank balance?

EDIT: Let me go ahead and answer that for you: nothing

Maybe ... maybe ... maybe you shouldn't camp next to trees. Or set stationary.

Which is different how?

Radar? Not even. How about "just don't sit stationary" ... except that's the best way camp. And the kiddies love to camp.

There's like 3 whiny little ***** that whined harder than anybody else ... and now, the only reliable way to beat campers is being nerfed. ******* awesome.

They could have kept the damage and just given it deploy time. (not activation delay as now)

So is this reduced damage for C4 or increased C4 resistance for tanks?

They've all been nerfed. You better have a sniper in your tank. Which also helped create the complaints with C4. You can't just get close to the Jihadi anymore, you need to nail them. Enforcer must hit twice.

This blows. No pun intended.
SOE, please stop, you're killing the LA class. Please stop already.

So basically if you risk your life going behind enemy lines to remove a threat from the battlefield. Avoiding being spotted, avoid radar, avoid smart players who have actual situational awareness.

You lay c-4 somehow live to detonate it, but you get killed, because now everyone sees you. In your deaths screen you see engineers repairing the vehicle back to full in a few seconds. You wasted 200 resource and good amount of time and some derp engineer spends nothing and repairs it.

You are the only one who can make non sequitur?

SOE...

...It wasn't OP to start with. It's expensive, it does crap against semi certed MAXes and even infantry with flak armor. Not to mention that you just ruined the Light Assault class by a huge margin.

Well, to be fair, no one's risking their life, but they're using their time to try and disrupt armored support rather than you know, repelling boarders.

That's your problem. Your using a vanguard, the worst AI tank in the game.
