Ok, I think it's time someone pointed this out since a couple people
have made reference to it, there is a MASSIVE difference between a Anti
Vehicular Weapon and a regular weapon firing AV rounds, if you shoot an
AVW at a Vehicle it does regular damage, (HMG's ARE AVW's, MMG's are
questionable, everything lighter is not) if you load AV rounds into any
weapon it halves the vehicle's armor and does not reduce (I.E. AK-97 @
8M remains 8M and halves the vehicular armor rating) EVEN IF this
brings it down to a regular level a steel lynx with an armor or 12 (if
that's what it is) is STILL going to have a pretty good time staging it
down, even if it can't, it's STILL ONLY MODERATE, when you need to worry
about it is with larger weapons, lets take this to the SPAS-22 with AV
rounds and that becomes a 10S shotgun that people have no chance of
resisting cause it ignores armor and is now a drone killer in two shots
whereas before it would have done absolutely nothing.
