Anyone else feel that the Harasser is overkill?

Just shoot the damn things. Are you stupid?

They're large, and fast. It makes it hard to land rockets at a distance. But at a distance, they're effectively harmless. I killed several trying to splatter me. Failing the rockets, I just shot the damn things. They have light armor, which means you can kill it with a pistol.

I dueled a particularly stupid one with my rebel, because I had a shotgun and he kept leaving my range, and I was winning. It didn't end until he charged me and I detonated some C4 I'd mislaid trying to slap a stick on his side earlier. Was a good moment feeling.

You're VS, and you complain about the harasser? You can either:
- Pull a MBT and roflstomp it
- Pull a Lightning and roflstomp it
- Use a lockon and roflstomp it, unless it's the 1 / 10 000 that uses IR smoke.
- Use a lancer and not suck
- Use an ESF and laugh all the way home
- Use a liberator and giggle to yourself as it dies
- Shoot it with guns
- And if you're really good, use the default RL/decimator, and then laugh.
- MAX av guns(even if the vortex is a bit iffy at times, and the TR pounder a bit meh).

The harasser may have the same HP as a lightning(not sure though), but it has 0 tank armour. So it's squishy.

So how is it OP? I really don't see it. It's fast, fragile(!), and costs 200 tank resources.

Bingo. That's the problem. The Lightning should be a lot more durable, as it was around launch. The dune buggy should be roughly the same toughness as a Flash.

I havn't yet been killed by a Harasser D:

I've killed a few myself though.

You do realize you can damage them with small arms? They are basically ESFs on the ground and they die just as quickly....only they move half as fast and only in two dimensions.

It should get destroyed by 2 rockets.. atm it just keeps on coming even trough tank line.. what's kinda ridiculous.

Get tanks. If they are running you over that means they are right up in the middle of your forces. They seem quite UP as a combat vehicle, their only strong point is their mobility.

It has the same health value as a Lightning. But it does not have the same armor, resistance value as Lightning. Which means its more vulnerable to... everything.

Absolutely not, I think the Harrasser is actually the best example of what Planetside vehicles SHOULD be.

The harasser is fine. It has the same armor characteristics as ESFs, and it injects a healthy dose of "fun" into the game. If you're VS, just get your dual cosmos MAX (notice I didn't say Vortex) and start popping off shots at them.

Yes I do. After getting 1 shot about 10 times from Harassers yesterday trying to defend my base, it seems a bit OP for the vehicle it is supposed to represent; a fast mobile buggy frame with light armor on it.

Last night being a busy Friday, there were more Harassers about than tanks. Players know what I know; it has the power of a tank, the faster mobility and traction, and with a Halberd (which i purchased for only 250C), can be quite devastating even with default.

As a dumbfire user and anti-tank specialist, I also am sad-faced that it takes so many damn rockets to kill the thing, and because equipped with Proximity/Scout, the damn drivers always know where I'm at when I try to flank them and it, to destroy it. I'm paranoid of any vehicle nowadays, and make it a priority before even trying to kill the guys on point. If they can see where I'm coming from, than no tactic I use is going to work, so I try to blow this stuff up first.

I guess my only beef really is that it is too strong armored for its class, at least for now until they adjust my dumbfire rocket damage to compensate a bit. Right now, they're ****** the countryside and 1-shotting infantry like they're tanks... whats with SOE and 1-shot weapons, even on Flashes...

The Harassers Health needs lowering, that's about it IMO

They are strong but down't they have 3 people in them???

They are also NEW, there are going to be used alot while people try a them out

The harasser is fine. It's a ton of fun, and there is no need to nerf it.

Seriously, fun, do you remember this alien notion? It's that silly crap that people keep trying to distill the game, by griping for nerfs every time something gets remotely better than horrible.

Nerf bullets. They can still hurt people.

No it's not. It's a dune buggy. You are intimidated by a dune buggy.

Thats why it should only take 2 rockets of damage. Its only a dune buggy with light plate armor.

No.

People continually whine and complain about nerfing everything. That is why ESFs are currently a pile of crap. That is why tanks have slightly more impact than bunny farts. That is why they nerfed Magriders. That is why they tried to nerf NC maxes. Why on earth do people want to further alienate people for their own opinions, because this isn't someone perfectly justified in their complaints, because believe it or not other people may find these kinds of things Fun. The Harasser is just FUN. Enjoyable.

These words, and this idea seems to be totally alien to 90% of people in this game.

If you are so offended that the Harasser is "Difficult" then go play something that actually put you at a disadvantage for 5 minutes.

I laughed pretty hard to this! It goes for most things that are being hit by the nerf bat. Can I use this in other forums?

And to the others that can't hit it with a rocket, remember you have an LMG... it will hurt it. Now some one will get the kill but that's called teamwork

MINES WERE CRAP BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO BIG. Like this sentence.

They aren't too big at 110 kph in fact they are pretty effective if your target is doing lightspeed.
