It's that simple. One infantryman shouldn't be able to take out one medium-heavy vehicle. At minimum it should be two-three players working together to take out the mechanical threat. Maybe one very very persistant / good anti-vehicle player against a dullard pilot / driver... but if the direct damage gets reduced, it becomes a two to five man job, then, vehicles can live again! The skies have been empty for too long pilots, we need to take to the air again.

i agree, but by following a different line of reasoning. Why should a 300 k rail turret powered by a tank do less damage than a 15 k infantry cannon? We'll see how 1.7 changes in the forge vs vehicles debate, but the way i think about, power output of weapons should be relative to the power input. I know its fictional, but if i were a weapons designer in New Eden, why would i put a rail turret on my tank instead of several much cheaper, way more powerful, much lighter, forge cannon?


I'd stick at least five of em on it. maybe six. Imagine that.A giant 6 barrel rotating HMG type cannon shooting forge rounds at 750 RPM

IRL a Tank generally has a crew of 4

IRL Infantry AV weapons can take out a tank with one round.

You've got it back to front, a tank shouldn't be able to solo infantry.

You want a team effort to take out a tank? it should be a team effort to operate one. Fair balance would require the same numbers for the vehicle team and the anti-vehicle team.
