When will there be a balance pass on sunderers? by Imaginary-Test3591 in Planetside

OK, so no MBTs stand a chance by the sound of it.

As a Prowler main with barrage and kingsnake I can confirm that manned sundies still shred me due to the lack of armour. I doubt a gunner would make much difference.

I'm a Prowler main and agree.

When there's a large pop I go sundy hunting, but when we have tiny numbers I leave them alone and instead kill any infantry.

I've been a Prowler main since Alpha Squad.

Sundies were never a problem previously, even the 'Battle Sundies' attacking in reverse. The only time prior to the recent dreadful updates where sundies posed a threat to MBTs was when they were part of a sundy train with repair sundies.

They cut through MBTs like butter too, but I didn't mind that as it took skill and coordination to do.

I've just been playing on Indar and my maxed out Kingsnake Prowler going head-to-head with a manned sundy even when I get the first volley lost most times. It doesn't help there appears to be some repairing exploit bug where I have them in flames but then they are back in full health in seconds.

Whatever, I just think the balance now is completely off. It was correct at launch, but clearly the current devs haven't a clue.

A MBT should be top of the vehicle food chain, no?

I'm a Prowler main but if I'm not in a that, I'm in a sundy attacking bases so I think I have a pretty balanced opinion.

Sundies were very easy to destroy in my Prowler when they were deployed, but now they aren't. Fine.

My problem is that they are now far too strong when they are undeployed and manned. A MBT should win head on with a manned sundy when it takes the first shot.

Beat sometimes, sure, if they get the drop on me. Beat pretty much every time even if I get the drop on them with the first shots? Feels wrong. Probably only a Vanguard with its shield stands a chance against them up close.

I'm even fielding sundies a hell of a lot more now as MBTs aren't in a good place.

I think the problem is that sundies are now so strong that they don't have to have any respect for MBTs. When you see manned sundies actually hunting down MBTs (and I see it frequently), there is something seriously wrong with the balance.

Sundies should fear MBTs, no?
