[Suggestion] Sledgehammer the Tankbuster Please

What is this Vektor you speak of? All I see is a basilisk.

Well then we most definitely will have to remedy that!

Since my Emerald TR mostly just flies Banshee + AB fuel it's unlikely. I give any enemy air a wide berth and just piss all over your unprotected ground troops

Yep, I'm the most dickhole type of pilot

The TB is fine, you need to learn to play. You can hear Lib's as they enter your render range now, its ridiculous. If you tunnel visioned and get rekt, that's your own fault not anyone else's. Your suggestions are terrible.

Banshee farming is amazing. Have a nice cold drink, turn Recursion on, go find some helpless ground peasants, slaughter them until they wise up and move on. It's quite relaxing hearing Wambo Combo! over and over again.

I invariably crash to end my run... particularly on Hossin lol... but yeah, it's a ton of fun.

So much better than LPPA or AH... both of which require much more exposure to enemy fire, though LPPA you can do from further away, you spend more time exposed... AH you have to get into dumbfire range, which is fun, but not nearly as effective. No idea wtf they were thinking with that range nerf on it. Change aircraft resistance values or something if you have to, but the bloody thing should be an AI weapon.

I agree that the tankbuster is too good compared to the other noseguns, and is what almost everyone runs with as soon as they have it. I'm not certain how to balance it out. Buffing the other noseguns up to its level would make all of them extremely destructive, nerfing the tankbuster might make it not worth it anymore. I think SOE needs to slowly tweak it until it hits a good spot. The fact that a liberator can solo vehicles without a problem using the nosegun is indeed a bit rediculous though.

only to be reverted just like slower Dalton velocity b/c libfarmers QQ'd.

A large number of their Microtransaction Whales are obviously lib farmers. ...Very Poor judgment on SOE's part and another reason that daily logins will drop significantly this Fall after people start to feel the resource pinch

You don't get "tweaking" nerfs here. You choose between a sock filled with oranges or a sledge hammer for your nerfs. You are beaten with the sock for 30 minutes and the sledgehammer for 3 minutes. Thats the choice you get when it comes to the severity of a nerf.

I'll take the sledgehammer please. My ZOE already got beaten by a sock filled with melons (It was a big sock ok...) for a few hours, and look where it ended up.

Lib farmers are not whales.. lib farmers make tons of certs and don't have to buy anything..
If you are making 150 certs an hour, you really don't need to spend money on stuff now do ya?

The tank buster is completely ridiculous, if it was ever nerfed in the past, the previous version must have made you lose all certs in your vehicle in addition to melting your tank is less than 2 seconds.

TB requires a certain level of exposure that the other 2 don't.

Vortek has great range and accuracy, Spur fires on a freelook pintel which is great for ESF defense.

The other noseguns ARE viable. To "nerf" the TB's damage you'd have to seriously increase velocity, reduce spread, and reduce drop at the same time to give it some range.

At that point, what's the difference between it and the Vortek?

Not to mention the TB itself is one of the cheapest weapon systems in the game clocking in at only 250 certs.

Meanwhile the Dalton... the pricy 1000cert commonly SC purchased weapon and thus "Whale's choice", has been nerfed into oblivion.

The one thing I find silly about Liberators ( though it may just be a me problem ) is that it's really hard to hear them, I can hear, locate and identify which ESF is flying and which direction it's traveling to from hundreds of meters away but I'm rarely able to hear a Liberator flying straight over my tank .

membership (ok technically not whales b/c your own post is such a double edged blade)

It was nerfed, you used to be able to 1 clip AA turrets.

That's hardly a nerf considering the way SoE handles balancing.

I've always thought it wrong that Tankbuster is the end-all best nosegun. It should be good at busting ground vehicles. The default should be good at anti-air and the Spur should be anti-infantry.

Nobody ever uses anything other than the tank buster because it's the most OP thing attached to the liberator and the other options are plain crap.

Not so helpless, must have killed at least 20 banshee mossies with decimator today...
