When we eventually get all of the racial HAV's (and vehicles in general), the Amarr variant will mostly be an armor variant, at least if CCP follows suit with their combat philosophy and none of that dual-tanking garbage. Now the Minmatar variant will be mostly shield tanked.
Laser weaponry = very effective against shields
Projectile weaponry = very effective against armor
So they are optimized to pwn each other.
I'm guessing it then boils down to modules, suprise, support, etc.
I just have a silly cenario playing out in my head where an Amarr tank and a Minmatar tank meet each other face-to-face, blast each other, and both of them blow up.
Welp.

Minmatar might also be artillery.
Anyone know why they switched the combat philosophies around, anyway? In EVE, at least, the Amarr are almost pure armor tankers, whereas the Gallente are armor-centered, complimented with more shielding than the Amarr use. But for DUST, it was flipped... |

CCP FIRST PRIORITY should be to release all four racial variants of basic light, medium, and heavy dropsuit frames and vehicles. When they have a complete foundation they can worry about making meaningful progress towards resolving balance issues.
"Funny thought about Amarr vs Minmatar tanks... They don't exist."
I didn't say that it was a priority. Treating a post as "TL;DR" just because you find it irrelevant is just silly.
I agree with you on the dropsuits, believe me. And racial weapons, and technical issues, and balancing, etc.. |
