Tac Com Sanguis Defense Syndicate 82	Posted - 2013.12.11 23:27:00 - [23] - Quote Having a good look at the tank changes and with respect to the AV balance, it's not 100% where it needs to be but it's mighty close. For dealing with tanks, it isn't really the alpha damage that's a major issue, it's getting those follow-up shots. You hit a tank before with a swarm and unless that tank was already moving in a clear path of escape, chances are you'll get another hit in. Same goes for any AV weapon really. Now though the tanks have enough power output to get up to speed really quickly and with a very high top speed too. But keeping with the follow up shots theme, I think the best fix is not to make big changes with the tank's new speed, but to have a very minor speed reduction but a slightly more impactful reduction to acceleration. This would still allow tanks to get to new theatres of battle like CCP intends, but if a tank is at a stand-still or trying to do a full reverse as it walks into an AV trap, it should take a fair bit longer then it does now to escape. That said, I do think it's not too bad where it sits. It's not so easy to kill a good tank but that's not just from the AV perspective, that's also from the HAV perspective too. The speed makes it difficult to get follow-up shots and if you don't ambush them or catch them in a dis-advantageous position, then you'll need more then 1 person to take them out. That said, one of the ways our group has overcome this in HAV vs HAV fights is having a small railgun fitted on a missile or blaster tank. These tanks typically work best at closer ranges so the medium range small railgun works well and the new fire-rate allows for rather respectable DPS. This has allowed us to turn a "scare them off" into a kill. This is also the case for AV. 1 guy can't reliably kill an HAV but can do enough damage to get them to back off. This will now be more of an area denial role and preventing the tank from getting in the fight and being useful. But catch the tank in an ambush or have multiple AV/HAV members, and you're much more sure to get that tank kill.

You guys can't read I guess: I wish CCP would of ignored them as in not made effing changes. 30% splash nerf 20% charge time (except nerf) 10% damage nerf (breach got 25%) All variants lost splash radius, and 33% damage DPS nerf, please clarify to me how this is not significant?
Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Renegade Alliance 445	Posted - 2013.12.11 23:52:00 - [25] - Quote Their nitrous module is broken and no different between basic to proto. Makes their speed noticeably OP for some. which is true. Remotes need less penalties in FW so they are viable for AV in FW. When we start seeng 15/16 mercenaries with AV grenades like Chromosome was then tank's and vehicles will have something to think about more and more. Not many people have adapted to tank's actually not being infantry solo-able anymore.

Fair enough but they go a little too fast Tanks could dodge PLC shots before. It's ridiculous trying to hit them with anything but a nerved forge gun now. I've given up on RE but I'll give the PLC another few tries before I give up on AV completely.
Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 368	Posted - 2013.12.12 00:16:00 - [27] - Quote Ammo restrictions are meaningless right now. Just recall and call your tank back...no depot needed. I think it's time we can get rid of instant recall. Time for an RDV to come pick it up, risking the loss. Plus should have a cooldown before calling in a new tank that way ammo actually plays a role.
