Just give vehicles equipment slots.

Naw they need to leave the logi LAV's in, as is. they are fun to drive, fun to kill.

I wouldn't want a tank with no turret, you can run a "logi tank" now, It just takes care, tonight I saved a falchion from absolute death, both his bars were gone, both my ghost buster guns were on him, Hp shot up, shield crept up, working as intended.
The sacrafice is already there, I have to give up 2k armor and a resistance plate. Which is the reason not many people do them, current AV power can pwn my lil spider tank, if I dont have 101% concentration, or if the compressed partical cannon decides he needs me dead 1st..QQ.

I also forgot to mention that the one turret slot, large, could only be filled by something no greater than an ADV turret.

The Chary is already a tank. I hit one twice with a rail cannon today and it just kept driving.

Sounds kinda dumb... all the special stuff CCP would have to implement just for one silly vehicle. Also, tanks aren't what people say are too hard to kill, stop being butthurt over nothing. People are rightly upset over the rediculous level of defense that a LLAV has, and it is a STANDARD level vehicle. As for having a Logi Tank, people have said you can already have one but I think the role is best saved for Dropships and the yet-to-be-released MAVs, as well as LAVs. Tanks are far too bulky to use in a Logistics role. And for the love of whatever god you vehicle lovers pray to, stop acting the persecuted party, take your nerfs like a man and wait for your Advanced and Proto levels before you cry foul.

If another tanker is hitting you with a compressed particle cannon, he'll have you dead whether you want to be or not.

You do realize a traditional tank is much easier to blow up than the Logi LAVs, right?

HAHAHAHAAHA wait your serious?


Vehicles are missing out on rig slots anyways, which are used to add an assortment of rigs which help make the tank better, or dish more damage or increase reppers or whatever without taking up a mod slot but it has increased penalties as a consequence

The LLAV is rarely used for repping anything, no WP for it anyways and its a straight buff from the LAV but it doesnt even have the PG/CPU to really use any remote reps unless they are small

The LDS will never rep anything because lolDS, its another straight upgrade from the DS except it has a MCRU already in it

Frankly we need MAV, and also medium mods like the 120plates are currently medium

Back to the Logi Tank, yes it would be yellow and it would be like the LLAV, with remote mods already installed on it, 1 light and 1 heavy in both the high and low slots so like the OP idea 2h/2l already filled so it can shield/armor rep and these mods will be shown in the fitting screen unlike on the LLAV so that you can replace them with better remote rep mods

The Logi tank bonus would have to be something to do with remote repping and also i would give it a resistance bonus to boot like the LLAV and its something the LDS should also have so it can be in the action supporting the infantry/vehicles and doesnt get lolpopped by AV because its an even easier target than the usual tank

Now they could give the LHAV superior defences and resistances but take away all turrets so it does rely on the other vehicle to do the killing to protect the LHAV, we wouldnt have to worry about a murder HAV because lol they push you around anyways, as for making it into a proper killing machine it could never happen because lolno turrets so yes on paper it may have the base 37.5% resistance and maybe over 50% if you add an extra mod but even if did have a bloody good tank it is purly support because no offensive capabilitys

The slot layout i would increase tbh

The basic tanks are 5/2 setup and reverse for armor, if 2/2 are already used then its 0/3 left, if the tank has no turrets which wouldnt be too bad for better defence and support capabilitys i would give it maybe a 6/3 layout

HAHAHAHAHAHA are you serious??!?!?!?
3 to zip

LOGI Tank

6 seats, 4 small turrets, and module space for all the wondrous spider tanking needs.

I like this Bojo guy.

I'd actually much prefer this to my regular tank; get one of these and a buddy in a Madrugar and profit.

Bump i want a yellow HAV

As it stands now, those that can't be bothered to take on vehicles in teams hate all vehicles as is, and call for every single little nerf they can think of, from dropsuits being pushed out of the way by a magic cushion of air, to LAV exploding upon impact with dropsuits.

I propose a Logi tank with some of the module slots already fitted with remote modules of all stripes, both infantry and vehicle shield transporters, and remote infantry and vehicle armor reppers. But wait, you all say, they'll just take those off to add tank like crazy. But wait I say, let me finish. Those modules could only be replaced by the same type, ie: Heavy Remote IG-R gets replaced by Heavy Remote Efficient, and Heavy Clarity Ward Shield Transporter gets replaced by Heavy Converse Shield Transporter. The details of it would be CCP deciding if those modules take up no PG and CPU and give us some PG and CPU to use, or they give the base hull a ton of CPU and PG, a bunch of which is used up by those already placed remote modules. Also, the remote infantry modules could be replaced by remote vehicle modules too, for incredible vehicle repair capability.

But wait, the entirety of the forum will cry, that would make vehicles overpowered, because then I won't be able to solo that Falchion with my EX-11 AV grenades.

I also forgot to mention that the one turret slot, large, could only be filled by something no greater than an ADV turret.

Back to the problem of everybody complaining.

You all already complain vehicles are too hard to kill. They're only too hard to kill because you make them too hard to kill, relying on being able to solo said tank. Something like this would necessitate teamwork in taking down the tank being repaired. Why? Because it's already pathetically easy to take out tanks, you're just complaining you can't do it with the cheapest AV gear. I fear CBR-7s more than I fear orbs. Why? Because I can drive away from orbs with ease; can't drive away from swarms easily. For those that don't believe me, I'd be happy to drop a tank for you so you could see just how difficult it is to keep a tank alive when facing ADV and PRO level AV.

So, for a theoretical armor Logi tank, it would have two slots taken up on the low end, one Heavy IG-R and one mass triage repair module; high slots, one Heavy Clarity Ward Shield Transporter and the infantry shield transporter. Turret would be a Neutron Blaster, and I'd fit out the remaining slots with the best plate and repper I could put on it. In case you didn't notice, that's 2 high and 4 low. I'd rather have 2 high and 5 low, but I'll already compromise because I'm sure half the first page will be complaints, the other half other pilots maybe agreeing, maybe disagreeing, so at most 3/4 complaints before page 2.

Since it would be a Gallente vehicle, I'll put its role bonus at -5% time to cooldown per level for all remote modules.

Discuss, or flame away. I should've been in bed already, so I won't see these until morning EST.

This could be me ,but i swore we had a logi tank before in closed beta.

it didn't have a large turret but a gaint rep instead (but it still looked like a large turret) and it couldnt fight back unless the small turrets were maned.

I think i have a vivid memory of one. I remember seeing three tanks at the biomass map (not sure what it is called now ,but i think it is the caldari production hub). 1 was a rail and 1 was a blaster and they were doing their thing and killing infantry, but the third tank was doing something strange and was behind the other two not shooting or watching their rear. It had a repper beam coming from its turret and was switching its beam from one tank to the next.

I just so happen to be AV and took a sboot a it. Thn something amazing happened. When my swarms hit it the blaster tank rolled up and parked itself right between me and the repper tank and when i tried to get around it to get a lck on to the repper tank the blaster tank would always park itself right between us. And as expected I died.

This was a very strange encounter for both the tank that didn't sboot and the tank that protected its other.

I remember a corp mate describing a very similar experience with these tanks. Saying the rail tank would kill other vehicles and snipe while the blaster tank handled infantry as the tank behind repped.

Their teamwork and selflessness were truly an unstoppable sight to see.
