Ork anti-armor is lackluster compared to other factions, for multiple reasons.

1) Melta is currently the king of AA, and orks don't have any meltas. Unless you count our "melta bombs" which fall off and don't actually stick to anything, including vehicles.

2) The devs have stated multiple times that they want the powerklaw to be ork's main anti-vehicle weapon, which is meh. The REAL issue is that A. it takes several hits to kill anything when smacking the front, about 20-30 seconds. B, you have to be in melee range to the vehicle to actually hit it. And C, When the vehicle blows up you die, unless you want to poke it adding 10-20 seconds to the kill time of the vehicle.

Let's compare that to the melta shall we?



Wow, that's quite the difference isn't it? The (functional) melta bomb and melta gun are simply laughably silly!

Thoughts?

I abandoned the claw in favour of a truk and our tankbusta equilivent bomb, (the 120p one)

drive up the truck, drop bomb, restock from your own truk, drop bomb on rear again. explodo.
if our bombs were perhaps a little more ...sticky. then it would not be an issue.
I do agree though that klawing something is silly when you die at the end, however if you add one melta to your klaw loadout you can throw that on at the end to survive if you dont feel like nudging its hp down.

I think our AV is ok the only one lacking really fucking hard is the Rokkit launcher.

I suggested this in another place but I'll do it here as well. The launcher needs to have it's charge time reduced by 30% and its reload reduced by 20%. I think that alone would make it a much better AV option for the orks it still wouldn't be on current melta levels but we all know the melta is op as hell and is going to be nerffed down some anyway. The reload time I think should just be baseline reduced by 20% while the charge to fire I think should be a mod that we can put on for 50LP.

If you reduce the melta effectiveness and buff the rokkits in that way it would put them on par with one another.

I'd totally be OK with buffing the rokkit launcha. It's a joke weapon right now used only for gimmick builds or people testing out the weapon.

Remember the time when melta/fusion incinerated players after 1 sec and then had a cooldown?
It took 4 bursts and cooldowns back then to down vehicle, which was almost 3x as much time needed to kill vehicle compared to today.

The av deficiency of the Orks is a major factor in us not performing as well as some of the othe factions, quickly dealing with an enemy transport is key to be successful in the game. Whilst our options are slow or high risk we are at a real disadvantage
