Bah gotta love people who want tanks to be killing machines without any form of balance, just rolling death boxes of metal. Heres the thing, I want tanks to be powerful, more powerful than they were in chromesome, but there needs to be a trade off. And the trade off is just like in planetside 1 you have a driver and a gunner. The driver drives the tank the gunner is in charge of assessing threats and taking out targets. More guns (since our tanks have 3) = more gunners. so 1 driver and 3 gunners. No matter how much you tankers want to say that the tank is your suit, its not its an extra layer of armor,shielding, and even makes you move faster than a regular infantry soldier. If one tank piloted by one person is able to wipe out the enitre other team, unless that entire team pulls out AV equipment, that is highly unbalanced in favor of the tank. Considering a RPG, which is just a grenade on the end of a rocket, is able to take out an M1 abrams, the most advanced tank in the world, just by hitting it in the treads your idea that a tank should have no worry from lone infantry is totally invalid. Give a tank a minimum of 2 to be effective 1 driver and 1 gunner and you can have the tanks that are monsters on the battlefield. But get this idea out of your head that just because you decided to skill into tanks you should get 4 times more armor, 3 times more sheild, the ability to self repair at a much higher rate, and much higher dps that can damage both structure and infantry. Tanks have to be balanced against both their complexity and their cost, right now yes they are very weak but at the same time they are still slightly stronger than even 1 infantry in proto gear without AV, and if they have AV they are ****** against infantry.

You don't tank.

You have no idea what it's like to see a third of your armor melt away from one volley of PRO swarms. You don't know what it's like to see a third of your armor melt away from one packed Lai Dai.

Wait, so I have to redline snipe? You've gotten inline with Luki.

You F*CKING KIDDING? TRY F*CKING flyinga dropship and just see what happens when the same weapon hits your ship once. You die. immediately... stfu

I don't need your opinion or pity for my witty and sarcastic comments thank you.

I"m a gunner in a derpship often enough to know how screwed they are. But, I did specifically mention tanks, not vehicles. No need to be angry with me.

LOL no broski.

I've seen good tankers , like in manus peak near A Null cannon move around in circles between A and C,assoon as thy feel endangered they just retreat to the red line to repair/recall thei vehicle.THIS has NO COUNTER, there by, its your safe oasis.

BTW , so many tankers here i have a question on my sucky tanking:
Is putting a light shield regenerator too scrubby on an armored based tank?

the recall system is TANKERS counter to you AV.

Its a good lesson...DS are truly UP and i dont see as many posts about them as tankers.....

OP- At the moment there is nothing OP IN MY OPINION.
Powerful -FG's,Swarms,ARs , Grenades
Good-Scrambler rifles,TAnks,LaVs,etc...
LAcking-HMG , FLaylocks,Plasma cannons,scouts,heavies...
UP.Commandos and Derpships.

Know the difference.

So when tanks get buffed you are saying you are ok with removing this feature? you know, for balance sake?...

I know your answer,i just want to hear it from your lips.....

1: You swerved my response. First off, good pilots don't recall unless they're changing fits. Second off, recalling after fighting infantry in the redline is not what I said; I said fighting VEHICLES.
I've seen tankers change tanks up to 6 times in a single match.Just because.....

2: Dipshit, I'm not your brother.
Its just internet slang. DOnt need to get riled up. I would be ashamed to have a douche as a brother.

3: That's a horrible idea. For one, those things are ****, and second, it won't help you like a scanner, nitro, heat sink, or DCU will.
Well told you i was a sucky tanker. ty for the info

4: There's no other kind of armor based HAV other than Gallente atm, so call it Gallente. It'll make you look smarter, and you really need the help, as you are looking pretty ******* stupid.
You seem ok with looking stupid so......
ok.Gallante it is then...

Nope. Changing it so where until the modules cool off, and it will come in with the same health (maybe slightly repped, say 50-100 HP/s for both tanks) as it had when it lefted the ground.

I have been fighting like crazy for the DS, with many suggestions, and feedback threads. some of my ideas included medium turrets for ADS, and one medium power grid slot for an anti forge/swarm launcher ability at a sacrifice. check it if you support the DS cause :D

You write all your posts with bold stuck on. :/
You don't really have the right to accuse others of being an attention grabber.
Even your name is written in caps lock, and not to mention excessively boastful?

no, because you infantry can still switch out your dropsuits in battle.

If make right, it will have the same or more HP than a CRU. Good luck with that.
