What: Advancement in NS power generation has improved the speed of all vehicles by 10% through the innovation of Thermal Glowplates. Glowing weakspots on all vehicles. Partially Vulnerable to infantry. Why: Vehicles offer a hard counter to infantry gameplay, Infantry simply doesn't have engaging counterplay vs air or ground vehicles. How: Weakspots are immune to Flak and Explosive but vulnerable to small arms, they will only bring a vehicle to "on fire" and the vehicle will take it's normal Damage over time. Should be balanced so a full SMG clip is required to break it, allowing counterplay even 1v1 for all classes. Module will be automatically repaired along with normal repairs, basically this can force the driver to relocate on fire or get out and repair becoming vulnerable to infantry gameplay. Not just a Nerf: This buffs mobile gameplay and sitting around will get you killed as intended, also 10% more speed means more PlanetSide moments. Love me or hate me, Your secret admirer. Also: If they happen to be placed on a walkable surface you should melt anyone silly enough to walk on it.
"How to say you want to remove all vehicle gameplay from the game without saying you want to remove all vehicle gameplay from the game."
Being completely immune to damage is not engaging gameplay. All this does is allow gameplay to occur between all players instead of certain players being above gameplay Edit: we could also change the game towards consistency with existing content and make MAX that have anti-vehicle weapons immune to small arms, consistent with current meta
oooooor we could give existing AV content to more infantry classes, buff said existing AV content slightly and make I-V-A balance more consistent THAT way .. examples: AV grenades to ALL classes, maybe except LA Rockletlauncher as primary option to both Infils and Medics maybe even give medics access to AMRs .. BUFF underbarrel grenadelaunchers and extent its ammo with ammunitonspouch ... ASP AV mines for some classes as medics, HA and LA ... ASP rocketlauncher as toolslotoption to engineer ASP rockletlauncher as toolslot, primary or secondary for engineer ...
