DUST Search - The vapid hatred and phobia of tanks.

I don't understand why so many on here dislike tanks to the point of calling them a cancer on the game, along with doing and saying everything they possibly can to make vehicles near entirely useless, save for a very brave few actually saying they want vehicles removed from the game.

Is it because you don't understand the dynamics?

Is it because it's more difficult than using an AR?

Is it because it requires more SP to make it viable?

Is it because it's so expensive to run a vehicle that can survive?

When 1.7 drops, we're going to see who has a better mind.

When 1.7 drops, you will have run out of excuses for why tanks are OP, because CCP is rebuilding them from the ground up, the way they want them to be.

When 1.7 drops, you're going to have to consider elements aside from poor rendering; superior positioning, and the use of ambushing.

When 1.7 drops, there are no more excuses. You won't have any more crutches. Swarms won't own an entire map due to a locking range outside of rendering range for tankers.

When 1.7 drops, I declare open season on infantry. I call for another tank truce. If you see someone from here on the other team, and they're in a tank, shield them from your own team's AV so they have a chance to escape and rep their HP. We will show infantry the error of their ways by helping each other even when we're on the other team.

When 1.7 drops, a red tank is not the enemy. Red infantry is my only enemy, and I intend to make him pay for the months of being treated like garbage.

Vehicles as a whole require less situational awereness, this has been the case in any game that has them. Most of the vehicle Players, gravitate to things with more EHP so they can survive encounters, but there are ofcourse people who just enjoy a vehicle. I am Awesome at racing games or driving a vehicle as a getaway car in APB R. But ive never been into tanks, i have more in common with Rambo then i do with some tank commander in the background.

Thats 3-4 people not keeping 3-4 people from your side in check. Its a Tank, how hard can it be to be invulnerable to 90% of the damage on the field, no worry about snipers or 12 out of 16 infantry if those 4 are comming for you. Ive seen you handle an AR, its a good thing it has instructions on how to hold it and what needs to be pointed towards the enemy Ive got 32m sp and i am still not completely viable to do everything i need to do as an infantry specialist Your tank costs 500k isk equiped, my suit costs 230k equiped, your tank gun takes my suit out in 2-3 shots...from across the map like its a sniper rifle on speed. Next time you see me, if you can kill me 1 single time, don't need send me a mail about it as i do not care about my deaths, cost of deaths or KDR. But man, you got lots of though words again for someone who sits in a tank, in the redline, ontop of buildings, as far away as possible from the action and inside that tank, theres another phatsuit worth 1400 ehp. While we solo players have to wing it with 550-650 ehp. Winner of the EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!" "Accuracy"
