I find they are more vulnerable now actually.
Played you guys earlier. Very fun match. And thank you for someone being slightly refreshing. Tanks arent impossible to kill, they are just what they are supposed to be. Hulking mobile armored death machines that for some reason people try and solo left and right.

Tanks arent impossible to kill, they are just what they are supposed to be. Hulking mobile armored death machines that for some reason people try and solo left and right. because they can be soloed and they should be. I will find the way. One player should be countered by one player. Not one player requires half the damn team to take out
A tank really shouldnt be able to be soloed, unless their militia. A properly fit tank, should honestly take an entire squad to take down. If you think about it, a person specced solely into tanks will now spend anywhere from 200k and up on their vehicle. If you kill them once then there goes their profit. This was a good thing on ccp to make them cheaper.
Then if they lose another in the match, thats cutting into next games profits. If they keep losing tanks it is their fault but once their tank is gone a dedicated tanker usually doesn't have anything but starter classes to fall back on. Dedicated tanks should be scary, and I for one love this about them now.

Dedicated tanks should be scary, and I for one love this about them now. It can and will be soloed if the hardeners are down and if the av player is using the right weapons. Plasma/flux for shields. Swarms/Av nades for armor. Forge for both
Of course. I was speaking on the tank playing to its strengths. If their under av fire and their defenses are down, then they should be able to be taken down through sustained fire.

Just played a match on my tanker alt. I applaud the person for trying but a single militia swarm launcher firing repeatedly froom a roof where my rail couldn't reach him just got ignored. This actually brings up a good point. Turret elevation is limited...so why not use that to your advantage as well. All complaining swarm users get on the rooftops of the smaller buildings and I just cant aim up enough to hit you without getting some range. If he had some backup when the person was up there with his swarms, maybe It might have eventually pushed me back. I did have to retreat vs 3 forges that pushed me back a little bit but they stopped gunning for me and I just rolled back in. Props to that little caldari for trying though. Also sniped a thale with my railgun! Made me smile.
