Prowler AP buff....

    One point blank prowler AP shell still won't kill a infantry. Only AP round not to do so.
    It takes 3 AP shells to kill a max.

    So an AP prowler is at a disadvantage to even a lightening if you go AP currently vrs soft targets.

    That's a strange distinction, my AP lightening one hits infantry (Its probably the most satisfying kill ever :p)

    Check the Vehicle forum...apparently projectile speed in anchored mode got a huge "stealth buff" (but most people think it's a bug). Perhaps it's working as intended?

    Stealth buff?

    It was an announced change long before the patch went live.

    I know that, but it looks FAR faster than it should be. And if Compass (who is pretty much the Prowler guru) is saying it has to be a mistake, I'm inclined to believe him. He was saying it was more like a magnitude of 10 improvement. Just waiting to login and test for myself

    its bugged, will be hotfixed

    speed buff was supposed to be +20%, its now 200%

    One AP prowler shell used to one-hit infantry (direct hit) so i'm assuming still does. On the other hand i noticed that is relatively easy to double hit kill ESFs now with prowler assuming they stay still enough. I did two kills like this today, i was absolutly amazed i had never achieved anything like this before this patch. :)

    Really? Aww that's a shame, I actually really liked the change in speed when anchored, should have known it was far to much of a dramatic change to be true!

    me too, but im not a power hungry magrider driver. i believe in fairness and balance, and playing with honor.

    i dont want the prowler to be OP, its not fun for me.

    Explains why I was able to hold my own vrs mags, shame the prowler felt almost useful anchored. Still missed the second shot normally though.
