what about tank snipers hiding in their red zone up on the mountains?

cant go there , lucky if you get close , OS cant kill tanks , if they get hit even once they retread behind hill to repair and they rinse and repeat

more forge tears. Don't mind me while I collect.

Funny how sniping isn't an opt- oh right, you guys get to hide behind terrible draw distance...

Real life has better model rendering...

Oh, so the OP pretends vehicle users can't benefit from orbitals....and obviously never thought about counter sniping.

I suggest he takes his own advice and leaves the game...this game doesn't need more people who aren't clever enough to come up with counter tactics.

Unfortunately most gamers have eye sight that only registers objects in the 1-3 meter range.

You whining about tanks not being able to kill certain foot soldiers is like me whining about bot being able to kill tanks with a scrambler pistol scout

Forge guns are a COUNTER to tanks...just like tanks are a COUNTER to non-AV foot soldiers.

You expect to simply stomp EVERYONE in a tank unopposed...which is beyond clownish.

You aren't giving a way to avoid forge snipers, you're simply here to whine and demand an unjustified nerf. If a forge sniper can hit you, other players in your team can hit him too.

OR

Accept that snipers are a valuable part of the game.

OR

Befriend the forge gunner. Get him to tell you his home address. Go find him in RL and kick his butt.

THEN

Leave the game... But satisfied.

lol'd range is only 300, even less if you take into account they are 100 meters in the air, most times.

Just a bitter tank driver, I tell ya

Rail tankers never (hardly) ever did go into battle. A large majority of people who redline rail tanked a year ago are gone or nowhere near as active but the red line cowardice never did go away.

Although it was a little bit harder back then since the maps required you to move a little bit out of your safety area to get a view of the map.

I do agree that tanks have been nerfed too much but people are always going to hide in the redline and be pansys until there is a consequence for it.


Further more, A Railgun tanks shouldn't charge directly within battle, that's pretty stupid in my opinion. They should keep a distance (however redlining is over the top). The fighting style of the shield tank is more tactical than the armor tank and people fail to realise that.

You can't use a Caldari shield tank as a brawler all out combat tank because they weren't built for that.
The Caldari prefer to take a tactical approach and attack from range. (Take note of the Rail Turret and Missile turret)

Believe it or not, Caldari Missile launcher tanks can easily kill a Gallente armor tank as long as people actually think about engagements and not charge straight into a hornets nest.

LOL stop it or prove it!

You know, I hear about all of this "rendering sucks" and all this other crap everyone says on the forums. It doesn't stop snipers from tagging me in every single match I play from every possible location one could fathom and well out of FG range I might add.

I have had redline rail tanks snipe me as I was trying to take out a DS.

I have been hit by snipers from deep in enemy redline while I am on the other side of the map. **** I get on a tower and get sniped with damn Duvalle AR's from half the map away!

There is nothing "easy" about getting in the largest, slowest suit in the game, and using a gun that takes as long or longer to charge as it does for a standard AR to take me out!

There is nothing "easy" about hitting a target from 100m with a gun that can not even ADS!

There is nothing "easy" about scoring direct hits with with the Assault Forge Gun. Unless, of course, the enemy is a 'tard and just stands perfectly still for the 2.5 seconds it takes to charge. In which case thank you scrub.

EDIT: I have never not even once got a FG kill using splash damage! Every single infantry kill I have gotten was a direct hit! I use the Assault FG and I do not sit in a tower like a coward!

Then why do I get taken out by snipers all the time? Get a kaalakiota or some other tactical sniper rifle and see how fast you drop the biggest, slowest dropsuit in the game-especially if said fatty is on an open rooftop!

Step 1 go to adjacent rooftop!

Step 2 fire 2 - 3 consecutive rounds into fatty's head!

Step 3 resume normal gameplay!

You aren't avoiding me, because I don't get on rooftops. I will say though that if you are standing still you will die from a FG. If you keep moving you will not.

FG has 16 rounds total at advanced level. If I can't one shot you, I'm going to find another target. I'm not going to sit there and waste all my ammo trying-and failing to kill you with LOL FG splash damage.

You made it to that cover though didn't you! Would you have if you were being spammed with Mass Driver splash damage? NO!

It takes skill to get direct hits with a FG from that far away.



Wasn't really complaining about it, but now that you mention it, there is no counter for redline shield tanks is there?

Takes one sniper to ruin the Roof top Forge guns fun. Don't headshots have a 5x multiplier? How hard is it to hit a heavies head? Not hard cause I've been doing it all day.

Not impossible, but give that guy credit especially if he was using an assault FG! Those autofire when fully charged just like the turrets. You cannot ADS with a FG. Trust me it takes a hell of a lot of skill to hit a moving target with an assault FG at any range!

You must be doing it wrong. I have rarely kill any halfway decent tank with an orbital strike. They always hit reppers and irk out. I stopped wasting orbitals on tanks months ago.
