Same as infantry has to adapt to each situation, so does a tanker.
If the map does not benefit you:
a) Recall your tank, be useful for your team in any other way you can.
b)Use your tank with hit and run tactics

DO NOT do what scrubs do a lot. The peek into a city, get 3-5 kills, instead of leaving and approaching from another entrance,they just get confident and keep pushing through the same opening, were AVs will throw 3-6 packed ndes at him,and then, the swarm fest. No you wont and SHOULDNT be able to escape that....

@ Op.I see you point, But you say yyou just loose 10 tanks a month. Doesnt seem too UP to be quite honest.
I loose 10 suits every 2-4 matches and they all cost 100k +, so i think i loose more money that you do...

small problem with solution A, stupid blue dots who wont leave you and your tank alone even when you have been sitting in the back of your base doing nothing for 10 minutes waiting for them to wise up (if i get away form said blues i always shoot them showing them my tank recalling)

Tanks are not supposed to be useful in every map, same goes for snipers and scouts.

3 tanks is nothing, so yeah.Stop QQ over nothing.

I understand what you are saying but it's not the maps. All of my blasters/missiles are hit and run, so I usually can be of use to my team, not to mention I do have points into being a logi so I can make myself useful when my tank is not.

My problem is the one swarmer on his own pushing me back. Damn right I don't lose my tank like you do suits, if I did I wouldn't be able to run them. Plus 2 to 3 games a night on the weekdays is my limit, and a few more on the weekends. Gotta work for a living!

That's one tank a match, nearly 3 mil!

10 tanks a month, that is a terrible number! 10 tanks a week sounds more like it. Sorry man lol.

We will see what they do with tanks in 1.5 to 1.6. Currently, shield tanks are supposed to be hit and run, yet they are nothing of the sort. Though the nitro buff did make a difference, our shield hardeners are still very much lacking.

I face palmed so hard I got a migraine... I'll chalk this up to a typo: I believe you meant to say "tanks are not supposed to be useful in all areas of maps, same goes for snipers and scouts."

in the case that you did mean exactly what you said, avoiding personal attacks and other verbal abuse for your clearly absurd opinion: all classes and roles need to be profitable and the game is not designed such that people can have a vehicle and an infantry role at the on the same toon. the idea that entire maps would be slanted against tankers or DS pilots is simply not acceptable, having areas protected or unsuitable for a specific role is fine but entire maps? no.

imagine it like this for a second, an entire map of flat grass lands with nothing but a few trees and some shrubs where the tankers and DS pilots ran rampant and the explanation was simply "this map is not suitable for assault, logis, and heavys" yet it still came up in the queue and you still had to play it. and every time you did you got your **** pushed in by tankers. would that be fair? would that be okay? no. it wouldn't a balanced map suitable for all playstyles is needed.



Signed Ko6, Scout and Tanker

Ah, bluedots. I really hate them sometimes.

Sometimes they get in my tank and do good. Then they get bored and do nothing. Then on the scoreboard they nearly match me in WP.

Recall my tank, psh, ******* blue dots won't let me.

My tank, my money, and a blue dot can sit there and prevent me from recalling.

What am I supposed to do? Give my million isk tank to a random blue dot to lose?

I swear man, everytime I need to call in my tank, a blue dot is there screwing me with that turret. Then when I don't need to, I don't have a single dot in my tank.

What is up with that????

To KING CHECKMATE:

Eh?

Never asked for a nerf. Buffing other areas of tanks is a more viable option than nerfing AV.
As it is , tanks are pretty strong. They CAN avoid being killed by a single Proto AV infantry,and that makes them more than strong enough. Say, today earlier i was fighting vs Dark souls dude, Knight Solaire (or at least soemehting along those lines)The Bro took 5 of My Proto Swarms to the face and still got out of the city alive. I mean, what more do you want?....
I can live with Firepower buffs for tanks.It is true,the fact a tanks shoots me and i get time to shoot 2 swarms and throw 3 AV nades is a little stupid, but EHP,speed and resistance wise tanks are beast.


No price is right.
If you say so.

You think tanks are bad now, what happens when everyone is running one. You want this to become Tanks 514?
WHat? Why would i want that?

Let's see what they do in 1.5. You may be QQing yourself (Or us tankers may QQ even louder lol)
