Only way to refill ammo is at supply depots which need moving also 1 in each redline because with teams being bad we are ******

Also if i recieve like 30rounds for a railgun frankly i wont be happy if i have to resupply all the ******* time, TOG II tank held 144 rounds

If its not implemented right we ****** again

Tanks WILL have limited ammo, but each round will be packing a bugger punch. Meaning that if you manage your ammo and modules properly, you will be doing far BETTER than you are now, not worse as you seem to be trying to claim. You'll actually have to micro manage your vehicle much more carefully, but you'll be getting more out of it in the process, especially since your damage mods are getting a massive buff with the only hitch being you have to micro manage them since they become active modules. Tanks will actually be a much more involved class to spec into.

Or, to put it into forum speak: Join the club, every other class in the game has to deal with the same thing for over a year while you've had infinite ammo the entire time. And some have to deal with both ammo limitations AND overheat.

i just cant wait to see the first blueberry who thinks roadkilling is now extinct........and then skips merrily across open terrain on his way to an objective.......vrooom.......

the TOG II was also a land whale

So are the current tanks and with me taking off small turrets in 1.5 it means more space for ammo

I would love to have a TOG II in DUST

It could be a special amarr tank since its long and CCP could make it look like a ***** like they do with amarr EVE ships, give it gold camo and its done

There is no need to add finite ammo to tanks, if the same 80GJ blaster, rail, and missile installations have infinite ammo, then so should tanks. there was not ONE suggestion or complaint about ammo for tanks. whats interesting is back in chromosome me and my tanker buddies were joking around saying "hey how much would it suck if tanks had ammo!".
this change would be THEEE most unnecessary thing done to dust in its history. sure its great to throw around ideas, however, this should be just that, an idea, not a plan.
VET TANKERS AGREE?

simply yes

The ammo changes are being done around a whole verc redo so this thread is misinformed and pointless

Since the finite ammo is only being changed for the turrets, not the main cannon (according to the wording of the post) i feel safe to assume they are paving the road for an actual tank crew to be rolling around.

I speculate they will add a nano hive that can refill turret ammo, or give logistics SOME way of refilling ammo. Perhaps even an LAV that can resupply ammo to come to the call of a tank hiding behind cover, for instance.

From the current notes on 1.5, seems you'll still be able to easily take off all turrets and redline snipe if you choose, but with more bravado. Hope they do something about that.

But yea, stronger turrets for people who actually want a team as they tank around the battlefield? + 1

Finite ammo to add to the possibility of more strategized teamwork play? +1

From the current point of view, 1.5 is looking like a great start to balancing vehicles. Lets hope it actually becomes thus.

Turrets will now have finite ammunition. Vehicle vs. vehicle combat generally boils down to two vehicles parked opposite one another firing until someone pops. This is not fun. Finite ammunition allows us to make turrets more powerful while preventing them from being a constant threat; spam a target and eventually you will run out of ammo.

misinformed and pointless? like the threads about everything else that we dont have yet? this is GD. we are discussing.
Hell, the discussing in this thread is a lot more constructive than most of the other threads ive been on tonight.

The main cannon is called a "large turret", and CCP has always made a distinction between large and small turrets in the past when talking about them separately. So you are incorrect in thinking that the main cannon will not be affected.



That second sentence describes 100% of all current tank combat and perhaps 2% of DS/LAV combat. This paragraph is blatantly directed towards tanks, so don't assume the large turrets are gonna still have infinite ammo.
