A ramjet is designed around massive damage to armor, but I also agree that flying a unit into the field in walls flying shouldn't last 2 seconds.
How about this:
1. Make it possible to snipe the pilot (Difficult at best, and therefore self limiting in balance )
2. Making parts of the vehicle more susceptible to severe damage by ramjet than others. IE if a sniper can take out the VTOL fans the veh is toast, but if it passes through the tail there would be no real difference other than a minor armor degradation. (This too, would be self limiting, considering most Ramjet Monkeys can't shoot worth a damn, let alone hit a jigging highly maneuverable vehicle moving in three dimensions.)
This is what allowed the P-50 Mustang Tank killer to take hundreds of AA rounds and still make it home during WW2, and Vietnam. I believe a feature like this would bring folks like TrueADM, and others back to Renegade.

The damage done by the Ramjet rifle to light vehicles should be reduced, but it should still be able to do some damage to vehicles, you did pay $1000 for the thing afterwords. If they completly lose the abiity to damage vehicles, then they should get some other trade off, such as more ammo, faster rate of fire, or more armour.
Or, if the viewing distance is incressed, it should have a longer range.
But paying double the amount, for a little bit more health, will make these two characters absolutly useless.

i think that snipers should remain the same if not do more damage than they do now. Your suggestion are great. I like them. The sniping critcal ares part, the pilot sniping part, etc.... The only part i dont like is the part about doing less damage. If i were attaked, i would like to defend myself. Everyone else who thinks otherwise is a horrible pilot. You should press these ideas.

Yeah...this is probably the wrong topic to be posting that in.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
