because they were shield tanks, armor tanks would have been toast.
For me the risk/reward seems off when a 47K infantry weapon does 126.5 damage less then a 900K railgun before damage mods. That's the only rail turret that actually out damages it. Add on the railgun has a 2.2 fire interval with a .3 charge up time and the forgegun has the same ROF. |

It's like it had the shield resistance of a Charybdis. Tanks should not be this strong.
Well unless you your chucking flux nades at him he would get a bonus to resists. |

Increase the costs of dropsuits 10 fold.
Proto suits at 1mil isk
Adv suits at 500k
Standard at 250k
And let's scale weapons proportionately.
Look I don't mind getting my tank pushed back in battle but in no way do I think we are OP. That is insane. Yeah you see a tank go 30 and 0, best game the dude has probably had all night. AND there probably isn't going to be another for him. With the amount of Av and power there is just no way.
Not to mention my couple of PC games. Tanks were rendered useless by 2 guys with forge guns and 2 swarmers. Not even a full squad to make 3 tanks useless.
I think a lot of this comes from people seeing a tank not die. Yeah that is 4 to 5 matches I have to play without making a loss to pay for that thing. Sorry but yeah, my **** costs way more and to even operate it, I have to play it safe.
Clearly you don't pay attention when the tank goes 10-0 or 3-0. That omg it wont die tank, yeah proto swarms and one proto forge gunner. Melts tanks into gooo.
No, I don't have to be invincible, but I would like it if my tank was able to simply survive the whole match because some matches, I'm rendered completely useless and just sit up in the hill rail sniping. Come play at tanks with us tankers, lose 10 or so tanks and tell me it isn't expensive, or it requires no skill to go 20 -0. I dare you...
People would look at the tank in the game I just played that went 17-0 and call it OP. They had all sorts of AV out, lots of swarms forgeguns everything. The tank just mowed em all down. Why? Because they were all firing at my dropship, which time and time again I just ran away once I took heavy damage. Had they focused on the tank they would have at least pushed him off their redline in not killed him. But nope they went after the 0-0 dropship every time.

Which is why I don't hesitate to run from lone foot solder. Particularly as even in mid field I tend to run rails as my man targets are other tanks. |

Sure i've seen a few threads here and there spouting such crap, and for my part i've voiced my opinion that such logic is so full of fail that it doesnt bear much discussion.
And yet every time i come to the forums, there will be a new thread harping on about "all these tankers whining about how they should be invincible because they paid 1 mil for their crutch".
please enlighten me, where are all these tanker threads claiming such preposterous things?
It was about a week ago, all the tankers were whining about being so weak and feeble and that if somebody breathed on them their tank would wilt up and die. They wanted buffs and/or AV nerfs. Tanks are already far too powerful, anytime they want a buff is because they want to be harder to kill then they already are, thus they are trying to reach the ultimate invincible status (quite a few are already near invincible).
Links or it didn't happen. |
