Agreed but not these ridiculous brawler Blaster Tanks....I hate how they ruin HAV combat.

Remove the Damn Large Blaster and just give turrets larger AoE which requires skill to aim and hit your targets but is possible for anti infantry gameplay.

Why remove the blaster? If you're using the 1.7 missile against infantry, it's one, maybe 2 dead, then 12 seconds until you can engage one infantryman again. That's not at all worth it.

The blaster has just ruined vehicle combat, IMO for what its worth, I don't like the idea of a tank carrying a 50 Cal or the equivalent as its primary weapon, I like the idea of massive ordinance over what should be a lower DPS medium turret weapon.

I would rather see us all firing main battle cannons with AoE at medium ranges to get our kills than be within 20 M just brawling like we do now. And for the most part that is all tanking in this game is since we seem to have a massive abundance of Blaster HAV.

It's the best combination of anti vehicle and anti infantry. Missile is laughable most times, and you have to be really, really good to use a rail as anti infantry. Also no small feat to use a rail in a CQC situation against another tank (like I did a little while ago twice).

I know... I would however like to see difference in how they operate though. The Blaster is the AR of tanks. Cant it just be made and Anti Infantry weapon, leaving the Rail and Missiles and the primary Anti vehicle weapons?

Or make the rail more capable of Anti Infantry combat so atleast we start to see more variance. I like the rail but there is no reason to pick it over a blaster unless I want to hide in the redline which is cowardly at best.

You realize that all you have to do is stay back, find me, start firing, and make sure that I don't get close to you, right? 'lights cigar' fuck with me, and I'll melt your face off. Gallente forever!

I let him fire away, I was firing away with my coolant going, then when he sees I'm not going down, he backs off. Big, big mistake against a rail tank. It was easy to just follow him and finish him off. .... SO why were you complaining? because smart blaster pilots like myself knows to keep on charging at you, while dodging?
