Have you heard? Large missile turrets won't fire in bursts anymore. Full auto for twelve shots, and then a reload period of ten seconds. Other large turrets are eight. |

Other large turrets are eight. first off no. tht would be OP but yes i did see ful auto. but 12 missiles no. all armor tanks would die. and some shield tanks. You know how it just fires off a salvo? Well, instead, it'll fire them off one at a time, but it's full auto. How fast, clip size actually seems a bit low. Hell a blaster has 200 some odd bullets in a clip. Missiles only 12 before reload. See, feels too much like another infantry role rather than a vehicle role.

So, missiles are going to be the bomb huh. missiles can now do 4675 dps
Heh. Best get ready to stack some damage mods, because you are /not/ taking down a tank with those numbers. The base armor of armor tanks is now 4000 and at some point during this theoretical fight, both tanks should have activated their 60% resistance modules, right?
Of course, the 30% bonus against armor is nothing to laugh about, either. So yeah! What's .4 * 4675? 1875. If an armor tank is prepared, they'll only take 1875 damage from the theoretical armor tank, giving them a decent amount of time to escape.
I'm not an optimist, but I'm not quite so sure that this is the doom of all tanks ever or armor tanks specifically (I'm normally a gallente tanker anyway, BTW).
What I am worried about is the fact that hardeners are going to be more of a requirement than ever. Hardeners, reppers, and maybe a good light plate. Maybe a heavy one if we can afford it. |
