It's the turret. More specifically, it's the blaster turret that makes people complain about tanks.
A tank with no large turret is not a threat. Make tanks stronger. Make turrets more skill intensive and make the blaster large turret have slower tracking and lower RoF. A machine gun that big? Come on! The large blaster doesn't need to have a RoF similar to a 50 cal. (Size of a small turret).
As for small turrets; with the changes ppl won't have to mount them and probably won't. But, the small turret slots could be reduced to one and the small turret skills not apply. Reduce their tracking also.
There, problem solved. Tankers get to enjoy tanks. Infantry really doesn't need to worry about them dominating anymore. |

And that too. Helps even better. Now if they'd do these other changes they wouldn't have to worry about trying to make tanks "temporarily powerful" and just make them not too good against infantry unless you get someone to man the small turret. Of course the small turret really isn't a concern if you are at a distance with a swarm/FG. Only grenadiers would have to worry. |

Rails are cool, but track far too slowly for my tastes.
Honestly I'm wondering why thr tanks don't look like Eldar tanks. Why are we still using tracks in a sci-fi world like this?
Come on CCP GÇö hover tanks! |

Yes,mI tank and mention it often on the forums too. Therefore, this makes perfect sense. |
