I see many other problems with tanks but not this one, to be honest.

Max speed is pretty good yes, but acceleration is really disappointing. If anything, I would trade some speed for some acceleration.

I don't know what other tankers think about this, though.

That's not what I mean they could even keep the current speed the same. But off road should be 20% slower. It's fun how in *other games with tanks* there are about 7 ground types all of which effect speed differently. Uphill and downhill. Making raids downhill exciting and fun, and catching a tank moving uphill is fun because you catch it in a weaker position. It only adds more positional strategy.

Places roads connect become more obvious tank routes, LAVs gain more of a role by being off road vehicles...

It makes roads more than just a texture o the map... It makes them the place tanks are king. Catching a tank moving up a hill gives an advantage. Using a hill to escape in a tank become a fun tactic

Tanks do slow down climbing.

Most of us have nitrous now to get away from OP swarms, and scrub AV naders who try to pack a LAV and zerg rush us.

I'm going to give you some advice, since you appear to be new here.

Don't get to dreaming. This game is already in a form of development hell, and asking for them to do things that are way beyond their capabilities is going to lead to nothing but disappointment.

We don't even have moving tracks, and you want them to redo the maps to add terrain softness, which would be a huge task, and add additional stress to an already overworked engine.

Given the already massive problems with the way in which the engine is handling the data it needs to sort, trying to add terrain values would only create a massive mess.

new here I've been playing beta since skirmish 1.0...

ah then maybe all I'm asking for is roads to become important by being where tanks can move fastest.

I don't want to nerf tanks CCP does I'm offering an alternative path than just making them suck everywhere... making them suck off road... Unless you fit mods to go offroad

I've been tanking for over a year it's just on the new map there are places where tanks move too fast it's bad game design it hurts the game. It overpowers tanks to have them able to move so quickly when not evena single tnk in WoT goes as fast as a tank in this game. It's dumb.

Tanks are slow, they are tanks.

After burners should make a real difference

Terrian needs to be taken into account so the game is more dynamic and has more combat awareness.

What tracks are for tho correct?

still move faster on road in real life

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.

Your comparing a nuclear turbine to a combustion engine FYI. O.0 of course these tanks are going to be faster.

Speaking of faster... Tanks have horrendous turning speed ingame. Considering that the treads can turn independently, these tanks only turn at 40% the expected rate.
I used to have a toy RC car that had two sticks one for left wheels one for right. It was moderately fast as toys back then went, but when I pushed the sticks on opposing directions, that little car spun like a top. The reason being is that when it was spinning like that it didn't have to move its center of gravity thus allowing faster turning than acceleration.
Dust tanks have this same separation due to the treads but somehow they loose power when turning.
