[Vehicle] When are the promised infantry AV nerfs coming?

They kill infantry instantly with a direct hit, how much more punch do you need??

The vehicles rn are lacking in alot of categories, while some of us make up for the shortcomings on the vehicles, there are major improvements to the overall balance that needs to be had.

Like what?? There is almost no one who does better as infantry then as a MBT or Lighting.

But they still need more fire power and armor??

"Almost no one"

Either you haven't played with good players, or you don't really use vehicles in the right situations.


Also are you talking about score,XP,kills? What exactly are you focusing on?

Well, if tanks won't get their promised Infantry AV lethality reduced... and tanks won't get their promised HP increase..

Maybe it's not too much to at least increase tank shell velocities, and splash.. by a minor amount?
Instead of AP rounds with a minuscule 500 splash.. increase is to 650
Increase HEAT to 850
give HE 1250 maybe?

Give tank shells a velocity increase of 10%, across the board, across all factions.

It's not even close to where they were before the big tank nerf.. It's not a 'revert the nerf'', its just a minor adjustment.
Surely, nobody would complain about that, would they?

Oh plz, If your try to say a group of people playing infantry can't pull some veichles are start laying a beating with the ability to take many hits and repair and one shot them. I don't know what to say

Atm armor runs away from all infantry save infils. Armor, is not something anyone in this game fears, they run towards it c4 in hand. Im not saying buff HE or nerf AV, Im saying armor needs more variability because atm there is no reason to pull anything other than NAR/Stealth AP/AP.

People see a lib overhead and run for cover. People see a tank and run towards it...

Half the abilities available to MBTs rn are completely useless. FS/IR smoke/prox radar/mineguard even the armor categories can be detrimental and are less effective than say having stealth.

This however is the same on all the vehicles save the sunderer which has been buffed to the point where it can take on MBTs in close range and win reliably...

There is no harm in wanting something, but wanting something doesnt mean it would be a wise choice to get it...

Im just as guilty and we all think what we want would be best for the game .. But most of us are wrong ..

That is because there is MORE infantry, That is never going to change. That is a nature of mass scale combat. If 20 people start shooting at you.....You are going to need to run and nothing can change that

1 tank doesn't run from 1 infantry. You could just repair until he runs out of bullets

You can't out repair c4 and Im not talking about a platoon which I literally just had chasing my tank today, Im talking small guys newbs-pros chase your tank, they're not feared and are generally viewed as cert pinatas. You know who actually does fear tanks? other tanks and thats about it.

You shouldn't get C4ed, It only takes one person to look up.

Infantry hate tanks, They are running towards you because they want to destroy you so you can't blow them to pieces

20 riflemen should do nothing against tanks. No matter how many rifle rounds you throw at that thing, you're screwed.

It's like... I dunno. Company of Heroes or Men of War. If you happen to have a happy little rifle squad running around and then it meets a light tank with 20mm cannon... unless you managed to get close enough with AT grenades that light tank will probably down over half your squad with a single burst.

That's how most tank-infantry engagements ought to be. Sure with enough infantry you might have 1-2 guys who are actually carrying heavy AT weapons... but they should be relatively rare. Unless a tank meets a specialist AT team, then tanks should run roughshod over infantry. That's just how it works.

And it's not that type of game, Sorry, OMG in RL need not apply this is not ARMA

MBTs cant look up. Also should've specified more. To stay motionless in a tank for an extended period of time is to die, not just to c4 but rockets/aircraft and much much more.

There are alot of things that need to be changed with the MBTs right now.

Maybe we should also be asking why can I reliably chase down MBTs as a Heavy with an S1, its like hunting deer right now.

More to follow of course as Im sure you'd like to voice an opposing opinion.

But that's the game this should be. This should be a war game and feel like a war game. There should be cooperation between the infantry, armor, air, artillery, and anti-air elements.

In Planetside, infantry should only have the following main roles:
Scouts- infantry are good at staying hidden because they can fit in small places and don't have a large profile
Guards- infantry are a good choice to leave behind and guard a sector when your more important assets are deployed elsewhere
Mechanized- infantry are a good choice to move with armored elements to keep them safe and to have their firepower be augmented by armed transports

Most good strategy games have this balance to them and it works. PS2 could use a very healthy dose of strategy instead of being a mindless run-and-gun game that it currently is.

But you not alone, There is problem 20 to 40 people with you. One of those people needs to look up. It only takes one person to see you and it's GG

No that is the game you WANT it to be. It an action game first not a simulator or a strategy game.

Having 1 single tank blow 20 infantry away in a single shot doesn't make this game better. Please explain how this game would be better off like that??


Do planes get to instantly shred everything on the ground and rule as OP monsters all day long because that is how it works in RL.

That psychology thing you just tried isn't going to work.

All vehicles need to be improved on there roles.

No they don't. WHY, How does it make the game better.

And I want to kill more infantry is not an answer. They already do that
