don't care about K/D, I cant buy my fittings with K/D... iv tried... they only thing that is acceptable as income in the game is ISK so give me more of that.

Fair enough, but 5 proto assault deaths is equivalent to 1 decent tank death, in terms of isk, but tankers such as yourself surely do not lose much per match for your 30-40 kills.

the way we play is that when tanks aren't needed, we go as infantry until we can afford to get more tanks..

I don't lose much, maybe one every 5-10 rounds..

Your assumption is flawed in so many ways ...
- proto assaults can use miltia gear and still greatly benefit from their SP, tankers can't
- one cheap tank costs the ISK of 3 matches (skirmish), one expensive tank around 6 matches (skirmish), don't talk about enforcer where the hull alone is 6 matches ...
- people tend to go berserk against tanks, yesterday EoN scrubs wasted orbitals to kill me and other scrubs suicided into our redline to get me - won't happen vs dropsuits

Oh man the AR maffia are at it again?

If It's not the MD users ( or any other gun ) , it's the logies doing there job getting WP, now it's the tankers and the KDR? !

What's next? maybe we need to nerf the dropships sence they can put ppl where the AR maffia can t go them self!


Let's just remove everything but the caldari ASSULT and the AR from the game.

Hail ZERG

Would it make tankers happy if there'd be a paper thin but cheap tank which doesn't cost more than a dropsuit but isn't any more effective either?

The difficulty seems to be that it's very hard to balance tank survivability on skill, since they make such juicy giant targets.

Chill man, i'm not saying nerf anything just the high expense of tanks is directly related to the high KDR that it entails...

To increase cost for Tanks is a nerf if anything so you are must certainly barking up the nerf three bro.

I'm not saying increase cost, they are already very expensive. I am trying to say ( which i thought was quite clear ) is the high cost of tanks is in direct relation to the high KDR that tankers achieve.

I understand that you'r one of the better tankers void, but within those 5-10 matches where you lose only 1 tank you rack up a huge amount of kills without loss. What I'm trying to say in response to the many 'turrets and hulls cost to much threads' ,is mabe you guys are paying for that KDR.

so while alot of mercs go negative isk or break even you are in fact in your 5-10 matches probably making isk or at the very least getting great KDR. and you say tanks need buffs

Look at the leader boards and its not hav pilots with all the insain kdrs it snipers and proto stomping assaults yes tankers get lotsof kills when were tanking but to fund our efforts we run free ssuits and die allot thusly decreasing our kdr . Most serious tankers dont care about our kdr record wr acctually just want to have fun .

Same for tankers man, anyone can run in militia gear, does not tank related SP improve on a militia tank?

Void weve veen throug several nerfs as tankers and still we held out and carried on holding the flag. Yes our tanks need a buff and with tankers like you anf I arroun who are happy to help the new tankers then tanking in dust will never die out . It will just remain as difficult and possibly vecome more elietist than it is just now. (That is not a good thin) but on the other hand if they make it too easy then tanks will be spammed lime the llavs were and a nerf would shortly follow. Its a good thing tanking isnt easy but its a bad tging if its too hard.

Redline Railgun Soma is possible, want that?

You can go 30/1 in every match, but that 1 is the problem, to be a tanker you have not to die for at least 4/5 match in order to make profit.
The real problem is not KDR but Isk.

I'm not saying increase cost, they are already very expensive. I am trying to say ( which i thought was quite clear ) is the high cost of tanks is in direct relation to the high KDR that tankers achieve.

Maybe I did read your replies to other folks the wrong way. I did sure read it as just that.
But you are now saying you don't want tanks to be more expensive than they already are, then I apologise and are happy that we both c it the same way.

Regards

Just saying mabe u guys are just paying for your KDR..
