I miss Chrome tanks

5000 DPS? Easy

Snipe someone from 600m away? Child's play

Infantry RAN from a Surya or a Madrugar- not to a supply depot to find a swarm launcher

The armor tank's only fear was a glass cannon Caldari tank...because not even they could take 15,000 DMG in about 5 seconds.

Any less than 30:0 in a pub match made you a bad tanker

Only the best profited; there were about 20 of us back then and everyone knew who we were. People would spawn with swarm launchers ready. it was glorious

I still remember seeing gunlogis with 7500 HP AND a shield booster of madrugars with well over 15000 EHP while reppers were on. yup. Tanks were tanks. Then the ARs nerfed us.

1.7- we will be making a return. 15000 EHP is coming back. Madrugars will be able to take 12 shots from swarm launchers. with hardeners on. Gunlogis, about 8. Glass cannons won't be hitting with 5000dmg, but a little less than 3000, so not terrible at all. Once again, nothing will hit harder than a tank turret :D Not even a yolo nade ;)

Battle hardening or overly enraging for no reason? You missed out on being able to get 30 kills easily. The best tankers were in extremely high demand and if you were good, corps would pay out the ass to have you fight for them. I wasn't recognizable until the end of chrome, so I didn't start getting paid much until Uprising to fight for corps, and ive stoppped tanking for the last couple months, but come 1.7 im gonna make a come back as the most feared railgun caldari tanker in the game since Slap and Hotch. 3000 DPS, anyone? :D Gùñ-é-º+¼+ò+¦GÖÑ+ú+ú+¡ GÖÑ'Ðe+ü+üGùÑ Gùú -ä>-üð+++Ç++§<-¡<-¡ Gùó Speaker of the Mangrove / King of QQ / Co-Founder of the Learning Coalition

Now that tanks are UP instead of OP you flail about for a bit then explode in a fireball. Actual good players can make UP stuff work, they dont need it to be OP to be efficient.

Wrong It was because tryhards with AR didnt have any AV, infact the majority of DUST back then ran AR and barely anyone ran FG or swarms apart from the free anit vehicle suit If anyone did run AV it was a solo person generally, rarely saw any teamwork from AV ppl back then but those that did were able to destroy a tank with coordinated fire and planning that is if they didnt have basic AV and actually skilled up Simply put a tank was used to kill a tank and AV was support but get enough AV and you could kill that tank without needing a tank Now its going the way of needing more than one AV person to kill a tank, only the smartest will be able to solo tanks so thats a small number of ppl about now Pilots may quit the vehicle tree if they are infantry at heart, swarms will drop off and so will AV nades after the changes, maybe FG will stay around because of infantry kills

Then again I also thought the change to the HMG skill was going to improve accuracy making it better and wasn't a pointless nerf. and you are wrong...the reason this happened is because almost everyone wasa slayer back then with very few specializing as av masters...but for those of us that were av masters we did not want nor did we feel that tanks needed a nerf..soon come the days where the real av can be proud for destroying a tanker...where soloing a tank actually means something..i may actually go back to using my real av post 1.7 it is not slayers place to deal with havs it is ours the guardians soon av tanking teams will be valid and everything will change. soon guardians and marauders will be back in full force and all the ar scrubs and continue their whine about how they cant destroy everything in dust with they're slayer fit. meanwhile those of us that has proto av and never get to use it because whats the point really will finally have meaning and SKILL brought back to our spec... the role of guardian/sentinel has become to easy..where it used to require skill it now just requires skill points...i am really looking forward to balance being brought back to av/vehicles..soon the depth of dust will become even more...blue dots dont even understand how much depth to battles in dust has been lost due to underpowered vehicles.

Sigh I wonder how many tanks will be on the field now. I expect a "team-quota has been reached" every match. But thanks for proving my point.
