I do understand that 1+mil isk is alot to be throwing away so I have an idea, keep tanks the way they are but make them only cost 200k. Done. A 1/3 price reduction would make the price match the performance i think.a MLT 175000 ISK tank? now it costs 116.000 A 1 Mil tank? now it costs 660.000 And so on. That's a great idea! I'm not fully against it. I'd like to see more vehicles being used. And if it'd shut the whiners up, at least a little bit, then everyone wins.
Well , me having a 10 million sp tanker account plus my main, King Checkmate with Full AV weaponry i really think this is the best way to balance this situation.
I admit, i dont think tanks are as UP as tankers say, there are games where i can be shooting the whole 15 minutes at a tank and never destroy it. And i use FG and Swarms.... And i play with a friend who plays as F-gunner too....
BUT i do understand that simple mistake being punished by a HUGE loss of money is a little unfair to the tankers AS it is (considering how common AV weapons are now, tahnks to LLAVs), tanks are very potent (this is my opinion) and powerful, but infantry DOES have the means to fight back. The only real issue is the cost of 1 vs the other. One using a 80k weapon on a 150000 dropsuit loadout, and the other on a 1 million tank.
So yea, i say an OVERALL price reduction of 1/3 for everything vehicle related ( Except LLAVs , i hate them) so that the price fully matches the tank's performance. (Even if they have SIMILAR firepower the Tank should cost at least 660k , because it has AT LEAST 6x times the EHP of a heavy...see where im going with this?)

I do understand that 1+mil isk is alot to be throwing away so I have an idea, keep tanks the way they are but make them only cost 200k. Done. 200k/tank is way too cheap. Proto drop suits cost that much and can't inflict anywhere near the same amount of damage. Instead, tankers need to stop being cry babies about AV. Especially the nades and swarms. IDK man when my proto railgun cost 900K and your forge doesn't tip 50K Isk. And your doing more damage theres something wrong with this.
You still have a LOT more HP and MOBILITY than his Forge gunner (you are in a tank).
And proto forge guns are around 80k >..>
160k isk approx a full proto Forgegunner
So there is nothing wrong |
