They do if you work as a team. Like I said, judging form the changes it's pretty clear CCP looks as stuff like tanks as a TEAM weapon that requires back up instead of being a solo-pwn mobile. So if you get into a tank that's able to stomp tons of average foot soldiers, it's not too much to ask to get organised and have 1-2 other dedicated players as back-up. Otherwise the game wouldn't be a team game but rather TANKS 514. The main problem I have with all the tank whining is this: Most seem to expect that if they get into a tank, it should require most of the enemy team to take them down...leaving the rest of their own team free to do whatever they want. That would be totally unbalanced and turn the game into an tank arms race.
If this was the case, why does every tank out there understand this is jacked up? Its because your idea does not work.
Also, you say all tanks are whiners and should be ignored for stating their concerns on something they specced into. Should we also ignore anything you say, because we decide its whining? Not that it matters if you run the fit every day and know the advantages and disadvantages of it. No, instead we should pass judgement on your stuff, whatever it is, without ever trying it out.
Let me visit another point. Right now, there are no proto vehicles. There are no advanced vehicles. Enforcer/logi/assault variants of vehicles are all at standard level, the same as if you specced a dropsuit into the assault frame but only had access to standard level. You also only get standard/advanced equipment. Lets throw you, a standard assault frame, into a fight with some guy toting a proto suit, be it heavy or otherwise, with a proto gun. Lets call that a duvolle. Will you win? Probably not. If you think you will win, then good on you. I suppose you also want matchmaking to stay how it is too. But thats besides the point. The analogy of pubstomps I just used is exactly what happens to vehicles. The only problem is their fits cost close to 1 mil every time and they have no way to level up and get on even ground with the proto team, no matter how hard they try.
And for the record, you talk about all this team play and whatnot for anti vehicle guys. One assault/logi/scout/heavy... Pretty much anything that isn't a commando can spec proto AV nades and solo a tank in less than 2 seconds. They have another option of using flux/mass driver to solo shield tanks, too. Fun, right? |
