Ehh.. can't afford committing a platoon worth of infantry just for Lancer duty on every fight, we're constantly outnumbered as it is...

About Chewys wall of text; for each his own i guess, i'll stick to the Nemesis. I bought the Lancer when it came, tried it few times and gave up, haven't used it since. I don't have the LAsher and probably never will, as i can't see any use for it.

If by that you mean about a squad's worth (8-10). Of course that's for instakilling MBTs (not from the rear), half as many would be able to seriously damage MBTs.

This isn't rocket science.

There have been some serious imbalance issues for way, waaaaaay too many months.

Quick changes that would bring the game into a better balance CAN BE MADE... without impacting whatever longer term specs some gameplay/balance theorist has.

ex. Remove the speed boost from ZOE. Is that the perfect move? I don't know. Is ZOE still OP? Is ZOE now a little UP? Whatever it is... I can guarantee it's a lot closer to balance than we have now.

^A few "clicks of the mouse" is probably all that would take.

No, i ment platoon worth. Anyways, point is why bother when with any other weapon 3-4 guys will have the same effect..?

Meh.. let's agree to disagree and not derail the thread, ok?
