If I can 3 hit your non-militia tank with Proto Swarms then you have a crap fit tank. |

Oh? Cause I have seen many good tankers able to absorb up to 5-6 rounds and live to tell the tale. This is with me as the only AV user firing at it (no forge or other swarms). And I know for a fact that these are not EHP monsters who just stacked plates with no mods. |

First, let me say that I am not of the TANKS R OP crowd. I have said that they are UP since Uprising hit.
This is from actual face to face combat with tanks and not camping in a hill somewhere. I have personally run into a couple tanks that have survived up to 5-6 rounds at very close range before going down.

I have personally run into a couple tanks that have survived up to 5-6 rounds at very close range before going down. 1: they are not scrub tankers 2: they are using resistance mods or armor hardeners or shield resistance place 3: they are getting help from another vehicle and or logi infantry
Example - Agreed though I think it was more of the resistance mods than logi help. At least in the one case I remember.
Typically I only take out swarms to deal with LLAV spamming these days (and dont agree with the swarm buff in 1.4)
Demon - Yes, most standard tanks go down in 4 or 5 volleys
Speaker - lvl 5 prof with 3 damage mods will get you around 2500 damage per proto volley. And yes, I know that I can solo tanks as it is right now and, no, I dont agree with being able to do that. |

BTW - If you dont mind searching for it, I would recommend Charlotte's thread about buffing tanks but diversifying maps as a counter.
the tl;dr of it was that it made tanks the kings of open ground where AV weapons were more used to support a friendly tanker but gave maps infantry only areas around certain (not all) objectives so that tanks would not make infantry pointless. |

What if forges did say 20-30% less dmg im totally fine with this
What if swarms only fired 1 missile ( doing full volley ) and they didnt lockon - aka RPG
We'd see people who ACTUALLY have skill at killing armor, and all the people who depend on lockon missiles that can twist and turn everywhere stop, climb ladders, open doors and then kill a tank throw AVs from 100m and just let the nade home - they will be **** - and AV would be balanced
Anyone disagree with this?
Only if you nerfed LAVs to compensate. Again, I have no issue with tanks and the reason most people skilled into proto AV to begin with is because of the stupid LAV spam.
This was the post I had put together a bit ago on Tanks: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1146686#post1146686 |
