I'm sure its already been stated in this thread, but Melta is an Anti Vehicle weapon. Its meant to kill vehicles and when coupled with a melta bomb should destroy a vehicle. In TT rhinos and predators have cardboard armor on the rear, hence why we shoot them there. Especially when they are sitting still. Eldar vehicles almost never stop moving and recently Ork trukks have been doing the Arkhona 500 in games. But when they stop trukks die just as quickly. Eldar tanks are problematic because they hover and its a bitch to land a melta bomb.

My $.02

I think it's at least a little funny that the only people defending Meltas right now, play the 3 races who HAVE a Melta.

Just sayin....

Orks don't have a melta gun in 40k. I'm pretty sure thats why they get rokkit launchers in EC.

*Bump*

Another patch and still no nerf to melta weapons.

Maybe devs believe/want you to ....erhm...drive/protect your vehicles?Instead of abandoning them so that u may join the zerg?perhaps?

Alright, you can drive the vehicle for 10 minutes every match then.

So, I can play the shooting/fighting/objective part of the game.

Oooooo, wait a second. You aren't going to do it, because it's a chore.

I have a better idea...ill drive during this match and you will drive the next etc etc.You know take one for the team .

Ah, good you agree it is a chore.

It does not enhance or add fun to your experience of the game to have to drive for 10 minutes in circles.

This is something you are simply required to do to ensure the rest of your team gets to enjoy/win the match.

I rest my case.

I never said it wasnt a chore ...or that it wasnt a position that didnt reward you for your contribution.But that doesnt mean it isnt a vital role/position for a teams victory.

Not really...especially if it is against Eldar...those tears are so delicious!Ill take driving for 10-14 minutes with those rhinos for a chance to those tears everyday and 6times at sundays!
