Now imagine those mobile death fortresses NOT topping the battle report. Assisted kills don't get you any glory, after all. No one will know how many kills those tanks and drop ships got except for the pilots themselves, and as long as they aren't ****-ing stupid enough to take screen caps and brag about it, no one will be bothered by them.

But that's the thing though, Cody. You might not care if vehicles top the charts, but you're probably good at this game. I am certain that the vast majority of complainers are obsessed with the chart. Performance and results. No matter how hard a tanker had to work in order to earn his kills, they'll still believe that it was the vehicle doing all the work and use that justify their support for under-performing vehicles. All that matters to these guys is the battle report.

So chromosome era vehicles may not be the best example to go by if they really were as unbalanced as you believe. Okay, well vehicles are getting a re-work, with mods getting gradually reintroduced. The devs will know straightaway how strong is too strong with their current approach. In the meanwhile, assist kills for pilots will silence a lot of the anger.

Tankers and Pilots just want to have fun same as everyone else. Vehicles can't be balanced for damage, but changing the nature of how they're perceived will do a lot of good. Support machines, not solo machines should be that perception. If all they're getting is assist kills, then Infantry will view themselves as doing the majority of the work, and all will be well.

It's called another tank. Duh

Are you implying that tanks should be useless against each other?

There should be something else to chase them away.

Why should the game be balanced for meaningless pub matches, instead of faction warfare and planetary conquest, the two modes which actually affect EVE in some small way?

The counter to a tank should be either another tank or a coordinated AV strike.

The idea of having a single infantry unit having the same firepower as another tank (as it is right now with proto AV) is ridiculous. To bring down a tank should either take another tank with similar skill, or a coordinated attack from several AV infantry units.

What, you can't solo a tank? Well then the tank is perfectly fine and is working as it should. Try using teamwork next time before crying OP. (This is not aimed at anyone, just a general statement of what's going on with most infantry and their cries for nerfs)

wtf ur joking right in chromosome tanks were still up ur av clearly sucked...in chromosome in order for me to solo a tank it involved a actual fight with chasing and running. athough not equal as it should have taken 3 of me to kill 1 tank with 3 users not 1.

i order to insta pop said tank it required coordination and teamwork.

proto tanks ..with 3 proto pilots should require at least 2 proto dedicated avers to kill..i would even say 3 if they're skill in av amounts only to the gear they run.

I dream of a time when it would take 3 proto AV to kill me... My point was simply that it's too easy to solo tanks now, something which should be near impossible to do unless if the tanker is bad or the fit is bad (or both).

I apologize for misreading you in any way. And I'm not asking for tanks to be unkillable either.

Then everything PRO shouldn't be allowed in pubs.

Sounds like you were still doing it wrong.

technically every time we bring up teamwork on your side of the argument, you always cry OP and un-killable which is because you don't have enough intelligence or are too lazy to work with a few others to get something done, but you do it just fine when hacking an objective.
