I can put together a sniper tank that would require a silly amount of teamwork for the reds to get rid of.

Even if I concede that being able to perch up in a tank like that to prevent a horrible spawn trap, there needs to be a direct, 1 v 1 vehicle based solution to a tank anywhere on the map.

Not being able to flank a perched up vehicle is lazy map design.

Skim junction works because when someone perches up you can take a crew in a LLAV through the redline and climb the mountain. It prevents an immovable threat from being granted to the team that just happens to spawn on one side of a map.

Manus, Ashland, and Spine Crescent are the worst in this regard in that order.

Please redline tanking currently hurts other tanks atm how can I farm kills with my blaster when I have to deal with you. thanks
The Attorney General ZionTCD 764	Posted - 2013.08.25 18:20:00 - [2] - Quote Longer redline timers for vehicles. Give me 40 seconds and I can hit anywhere they like to hide. That way, if you want to tank from someplace really safe, you have the rendering distance handicapping your attempts to get points.

Effective vs your teams unmanned installations maybe, but you can kill installations pretty easy from anywhere. you can find good high ground to take out vehicles from inside the playable field.

The Attorney General ZionTCD 764	Posted - 2013.08.25 18:37:00 - [8] - Quote You get used to certain tankers who live their lines in the redline. They have a set of fits, you can see just by their numbers that their fit has no place out of the redline. They build their entire fit around not entering the field of play. Regardless of how you view anything else, redline tankers deserve to be mocked for this type of play. Having to try and co-ordinate 3 AV guys, or a mix of armor and breach forges to destroy someone who has basically built a million ISK sniper dropsuit with 7000 armor is too much effort given the perches that are available by sitting out outside the play area. Increasing how long far a tank can travel in the redline would enable us to reach those cowards, and since we are tanks, we are still soft enough to get pegged by AV if we are trying to spawn trap. Win - Win.

What he said, doesn't even matter if we lose the tank or suits to the redline timer, all that matters is that they lost a proto rail

I fly too, but come one man, there are just maps you DON'T fly specifically because AV and tanks will have an easy time shooting at you. Think man!

Void Echo Echo Galactic Industries 1058	Posted - 2013.08.25 20:15:00 - [20] - Quote if surviving causes me to me mocked and called a coward, so be it, I would rather be a coward who survives than be a dumbass who blindly runs into the battle field. if you really want to cut back on the redline railing, then make tanks actually able to survive in the middle of the battle field, why else do you think we hide up there, its because that's the only place we can survive. the only thing im hurting is the other team, Im not hurting anyone else other than them, and that's a good thing, because im doing my job rom there.

daishi mk03 Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 111	Posted - 2013.08.25 20:18:00 - [21] - Quote I lost two tanks over the last days invading into the redzone and attacking sniper tanks, both times 1-2 shots were missing to finish the job and my timer went of, before I could drive out. Tomorrow I will drive in again, if there is a tank hiding from our battle.

Only fail redline rail tanks use armor plating. (Assuming they are using Madrugars) so they are easy to pop with anything as they stack damage and stuff that actually makes them useful, not stuff that makes them unkillable when no one can reach them anyway. And these fail rail tanks start shooting at other rail tanks and when they realize they can't do enough damage to take out even the militia tanks with their proto rails they hide for the rest of the game without doing anything.

Think man! av has not forced people up there, and I don't use dropships if I see redline tanks or lots of av. I don't lose tanks to redliners, but on occasion a well fit sniper tank can present a problem. I have adapted to av play and can play with the rest of my team. think about it!!

Three rail tanks up on a hill evaporates things! I also like bringing in blaster tanks for cqc. Also its just plain STUPID to bring a rail to CQC@!!!! So you want us to handicap ourselves to make us easier to kill?
