First and foremost, people who play with a keyboard are given an unfair advantage in speed. If your going to try to bridge the gap between PC games and PS3 then don't give an advantage to keyboard and mouse.

Now, Shield vs Armor.... which one should be faster? That's a no brainer CCP... Shields of course... Which one should be slightly stronger? Armor of course... another no brainer...

Now, how about making the AV more specific to each class of tank... Swarms and AV to kill armor and make a Homing Flux and Forge to kill shields... That way the noobs learn the difference and have to make a choice of what to spec into and use when a tank appears on the field.

Fix the hit detection.

The active time on hardners for shields last half as long... Why is that? How about 10 points per missile for shooting down swarm missiles if you could actually see them that is. 6 missiles about equal to 1 kill. Last I checked the armor tank turret aimed almost straight down and shield turret clearly did not.

You guys at CCP have nerfed the shield tank so bad it's near useless between hit detection, speed, turret limitations and swarm effectiveness, and traction I challenge anyone of you DEVs to use a shield tank with a controller and make it last 1 match using a blaster.

This should probably be in a post all it's own but the unmanned psychotic installations are out of control and completely OP...mainly the rail guns but the blasters too!!! The missile installations have further range than my tank as well it seems.

Tank lock and gunner kick so that a tank can be recalled...and if the noob won't vacate we can drive into the red zone and boot them....lol troll. All are welcome to give your opinions unless your a tank hater like ccp...hahaha but try to number and list the the issues you have found with tanking. Thanks!


"Likes" are as good as a petition signing here....

Wall o' text fixed

they normally have bad drivers.

I feel like the majority of this post is made irrelevant by the changes happening in 1.7

Speed :
Both Tanks will have the same speed without any modules fitted to it, because Madrugars are obviously going to have additional plates fitted they'll end up being slower unless they have a booster.

Shield v. Armor Hardeners Stats :
Complex Armor Hardener - 36 second duration / 50 second cooldown ok i guess
Complex Shield Hardener - 24 second duration / 60 second cooldown worst module ever, it should be 40-45 sec cooldown, i hate hit and hide for long time ****

These stats seem fair given what we know about the nature of AV (They all pretty much do more to armor) and the way the new reppers will work (Heavy Boosters give an instant injection of 1900 HP)

Wolfman has said that vehicle locks are coming, we won't know if they made 1.7 until more information is released about the patch.

read the quote, shield hardeners blow

Tonight, one of my teammates took out two Caldari Enforcers with one swarm launcher. One volley into one, another into the next.

The Tankers were very stupid though. I don't know if they were messing around or what, but Enforcers are a little to expensive to be trolling around with. The big thing was, after the first Enforcer went up in flames, the second made a get away. I actually just shot rounds into with my SCR, Standing right in the open. Sure enough, the HAV stopped and the turret started to turn my way. But before he knew it, he was up in flames too.

The Tanker knew he had to get away, but he couldn't pass up an opportunity to get a kill with it, so he put his 2 million ISK HAV at risk for one kill. So, you have to blame the driver.


However, if I wanted to, I could have switched to my AV setup too, and we would have taken them both out without a hiccup. But, I just let my buddy do it, because when I see a Shield HAV, I don't even consider it a threat in the slightest.
