The design direction for the Research Facility was more infantry friendly, and vehicles to be at a disadvantage. There is a sweet spot for tanks if you can find it and hold it. You would need "team work" though to ensure keeping it. And you could potentially secure two hack points from incursions on the roads if you are skilled.

lol because its a shaped charge that you throw and always have land in the right direction

traditionally tanks use their gun to take the urban out of warfare

you like it. f ag

i really hope no tanker attempts to exsist in this map. youl loose it, enemys work together to kill your tank but blu dots do not work to keep you alive. with it being so indoors you cant support them very well to keep them alive. if you cant support your team you cant hide behind them. lost hope to try

The only maps havs would be good at is a flat desert. All it takes is one building and a militia dropship.

i wouldnt even mind the towers if they simply put a ladder or some ****.

i guess making them visible would be a start, havent had a chance to see if rendering is fixed, but i WAS hit by invisiswarms already

Tanks in urban warfare? Yeah, about that...

"The end results of the New Year's Eve battle were devastating for the Russian side, which lost an estimated 105 of 120 tanks sent into the city"

Nothing wrong with it being a bad tank map, tho i was hoping we could get a decent tank map for once in uprising. Steer clear tanks, you will get destroyed in seconds from all angels and theres nothing you can do about it

Nice! I hate you tankers!

yeah, forget the part the Chechen soldiers were wearing russian uniforms and assaulted tanks from all sides with like 10 freaking rpgs all at the same time.

wanna see what happens to a tank with only 3 forges or swarms? scratch that, ONE guy with lai dais and a forge?

Maybe I should get a proto Forge

The Russians made all sorts of screw-ups really, but there were practical matters like the main gun not being able to elevate high enough to hit people in buildings and the tanks not being fully staffed.

In that sense, there's some equivalence, because tankers in Dust often go off with no infantry support (and no gunners). Elevated positions in Dust are frequently fatal to vehicles as well, as they are in real life.

I'd agree that there's something of a power balance issue between AV and vehicles (perhaps a lack of proto vehicles is part of that), but tanks are often disadvantaged in an urban environment. Or, you can also look at them as infantry support vehicles (as armor can be in real life), in which case a tank would normally have a full crew and a squad in support.

I guess I'm suggesting that the map isn't necessarily the problem; it's just AV and vehicles still need their balance work.

doesent matta, theres plenty of proto AV to kill our standard tanks and maps to give favor to AV. the same AV that gets buffed every new patch. so its whatevs, were boned the more we get into uprising, cant wait to see what buffs the AV gets in 1.5. 8 missiles per swarm this time? maby you should get a swarm launcher instead

But what if tank were OP, and tankers hate heavies the first guy to go

defffinetely rail friendly..blasters have to be careful.

tankers can not see heavys, your flashlight is gone! run into a herd of bluberrys and the tank will not be able to find you, youl be a black ant in a mound of more black ants. Also, tanks will not be OP, the dev blog explaining the changes in 1.5 has been out for awhile. Armor tanks are getting worse and shield tanks slightly better. Tanks are going to be garbage as awhole and its getting worse for tankers as we get closer to 1.5. srly. every patch sence the end of chromosome has been a beat down on tanks. all of them, so will 1.5

That map rocks!
