Tanks were slow in WWI. Tanks are fast, now. A MBT, now, is a combination of a King Tiger and a Hellcat. Compared to what tanks are IRL, tanks are gimped. If you want to nerf tank speed bc they move slightly slower, IRL, then I want a coaxial MG that will OHK every dropsuit in the game, and aturret that can level an entire complex by itself.

Is this your alt? Who are you? All tanker worth a damn know eachother and nobody knows who you are, apparently. Please reveal yourself.

Huh. In so many other threads you were whining about how IRL should have no effect on tanks in Dust, and yet here you are.

Admittedly the three current tenets of Tank Design IRL are Fire Power, Armour, and Mobility.....

MOBILITY is not something tanks in this game have a great deal of excluding forwards. Current tanks if im not mistaken can move as fast backwards as they can forwards, turn rapidly, etc.

This is true. RL tanks are probably the single best vehicle to be in if you are traveling on land without highways. The tanks in Dust would likely not pass our militaries standards if we had technology like the people of new eden have.
Also the tanks in World of Tanks had 200-300 Hoorsepower. Ours have a lot more, they are powered by fusion after all..

We can only assume so. I would rather tanks come in say 3 forms.

Black Ops- Mobility primary, Armour Secondary

Marauders Armour Primary, Fire Power Secondard

Enforcers Firepower Primary, Mobility Secondary

This way HAV are more role specific at mon MLT and STD levels.

These three principles go right along with the HAV ideas in this.
