So, I'm seeing a lot of responses from tankers replying to AV QQ, and it's mostly: It should always take team work to down a tank!
But, let's reverse that. It should also take teamwork to USE a tank.
It makes no sense for 1 player to be powerful enough that the other side needs to dedicate half a squad to deal with. Now, I'm not implying tanks should be solo'd, but the way they're used vs the way they're countered don't match up.
If it costs my team 3 AV'ers to push your tanks back - then it should cost the other side at least 2 players to use the tank properly.
So, my suggestion, is take away tanks ability to drive and shoot. They either pilot - or they shoot.
"If they implement this idea I'm quitting tanks!" Good, gtfo. Quitting tanks because you can't be a god on the field just proves you were only in it to be better then everyone else. Why are LAV and most DS limited to being the pilot or turret driver - but a tank, with more HP and power, doesn't?
"Assault dropships..." Still suck. Ever tried aiming with one? It's not as easy as it is a tank, so it's far more acceptable, not to mention how easy it is to push one off you or others, or just blow them up. 1v1, FG vs Assault DS - the FG still wins.

We all agree tanks shouldn't be solo'd, but it's too much that one player can be so dominating without a hard counter.

Sounds like a interesting idea although there will a lot of slap fights as people try to get to the gunner seat first instead of driving. |

On-topic: I don't like it, personally. Giving up more than 1 person to operate 1 tank....no thanks. But there have been instances where a tanker I know needed people to get in his small turrets in order to take down an enemy tank, sort of teamwork.

I've said this before buy HAV should have massively devastating and highly power main battle canon for anti tank combat, while small turrets are used by gunners to take down infantry.

Didn't have to read much of the OP. when you infantry start paying the price of three proto dropsuits to bring one clone to the battle then I will be ok with infantry soloing tanks. ISK is the balance factor here. Someone (one person out of they're own pocket) is paying to bring in the value of three protos for one death. Team work should be required.

I they are not effective vs infantry than who would bother bringing in another tank to counter it?

I've posted the same thing multiple times over the past year.
Math from a Tankers perspective (remember, most of them flunked kindergarten):
1. 3v1 is balance - it should require at least 3 AVers to take a solo tanker
2. 1 tank dominating an entire team for 5+ matches before dieing is balance.
3. Advance tank should always trump proto anti-vehicle
With this new crap update, I've spent more sp on my suit than a tanker, more isk on my lav+suit than a tank, and yet they will still argue that they deserve to win every time in 1v1. Don't try to speak logic to them. They'll only cry and try to bring you down to their level of stupidity.
CCP will always listen to the people that cry the most. I used to think that they had good customer service, but now I know they lack any real common sense of creating a competitive fps. I don't think the devs even play their own game before updates are released. I refuse to believe they actually thought 1.7 was good while playing it. |

Tanks are primarily designed to fight against other tanks.
Missiles and Railguns are both MUCH better as AV weapons than they are at hitting infantry. Blaster Tanks are murderous against infantry, but die really fast against other tanks, which they can't hurt anywhere near as effectively.
So the best AV against Rail and Missile tanks is infantry AV, and the best AV against Blaster tanks is another tank. It's like how AV infantry struggle at best when fighting other infantry, but they do a lot of damage to vehicles.
Is the balance perfect as-is? No. Do some kinks need working out? Yes. Is there a bug that a LOT of players are exploiting for magical flying tanks? Yes.
A lone AV guy may not kill a tank, but unless it's fitted for anti-infantry work, he should be quite capable of surviving as long as it does. Your goal as AV isn't necessarily to KILL the tank - you just need to keep pressure on it so that it can't kill your teammates. In honour of this EXTREMELY important role, I'm bringing back the suggestion that they need to revive vehicle damage WP, because that was really helpful. |

I'd be just fine with AV soloing tanks if completely fit tanks cost as much as a completly fit drop suit. I'd have absolutly no problem with that.

If it wasn't our goal, CCP wouldn't have changed it to where we no longer receive points for damaging a vehicle, but only when the vehicle is destroyed. We also wouldn't be titled "ANTI-Vehicle.
If you can supply a quote and link from a CCP developer saying that the role of AV is to simply "suppress" a vehicle, then you can feel free to say otherwise.
The role of AV is important how? I can grab a Sica or Soma that's better at AV than my Wyrikomi Swarm Launcher, Allotek Plasma Cannon, and Ishukone Assault Forge Gun could ever hope to possibly become.

They already do.
The hull itself costs 97,500 ISK. That's nearly half the cost of my best AV fit and is waaay less than my PRO logi fit.
If the price of HAVs were reduced anymore, they'd be spammed infinitely with little to no concern or consequence whatsoever.

I've suggested similar in the past too. Let the tank owner drive and tank (it's their dime)... But reduce his combat ability unless he has two gunners. -10% dmg, -20% scan for each empty seat. Sure, it can still live as long, but an equal tank with 2 gunners will win a duel.
And the isk argument is so silly. First, isk does not scale to survivability. A proto scout can still die to a militia assault. If I spend more I increase my chances.. I don't buy a gauretee that a sqd is required to kill me.
Does this game require teamwork or not? Or is that just an empty banner to talley behind. |

And that is the way it should be. Of course the tanker has probably already killed 10+ infantry before the proto AV player has gotten to him, but whatever. it'll never be perfect.
As someone else pointed out, paying more isk shouldn't give you any guarantees. But that sense of entitlement that tankers get by paying more should go away with cheaper prices. |

"If they implement this idea I'm quitting tanks!" Good, gtfo. Quitting tanks because you can't be a god on the field just proves you were only in it to be better then everyone else. Why are LAV and most DS limited to being the pilot or turret driver - but a tank, with more HP and power, doesn't?
"Assault dropships..." Still suck. Ever tried aiming with one? It's not as easy as it is a tank, so it's far more acceptable, not to mention how easy it is to push one off you or others, or just blow them up. 1v1, FG vs Assault DS - the FG still wins.
Didn't have to read much of the OP. when you infantry start paying the price of three proto dropsuits to bring one clone to the battle then I will be ok with infantry soloing tanks. ISK is the balance factor here. Someone (one person out of they're own pocket) is paying to bring in the value of three protos for one death. Team work should be required.
ISK was never a balancing factor otherwise starter fits would never be able to bring down a proto suit...you pay ISK for flexibility on the battlefield and for better protection but thats it.
Believe it or not you are better protected in a tank and you this was true in 1.6 as well although I admit tanking was too expensive in 1.6... |

why? because tanking is expensive not only isk wise but SP wise as well. why should it take two people to operate a machine that I could literally have all my SP in, if I don't have a gunner I can't play. I'll burn in hell before another blueberry gets in my tank(offence intended blueberry gunners you are like cancer, I could gun better with only my feet).
"AVers should be able to solo tanks but it should take 2 people one person operating the legs and the other the av weapon" "logis don't need a nerf but one person should operate the legs and another should aim and shoot"

I bolded the part some of you may of skipped over. The funny thing about this is that while the scrubby tankers would quit, people like me would turn into unkillable juggernauts far beyond your worst nightmare.
I'm far better at driving than shooting, and I've got a few friends that can lay down some serious pain in a turret. If I could keep the vehicle constantly mobile while my gunner could fire the main turret in all directions, you would never be able to stop me.

Not that I didn't expect tankers to come in here and QQ about this idea - obviously it's an old one, you're talking to someone whose been on the forums for longer then your entire corp.
But if tankers get to spout there bad logic so do the rest of us.

I've posted the same thing multiple times over the past year. Math from a Tankers perspective (remember, most of them flunked kindergarten): 1. 3v1 is balance - it should require at least 3 AVers to take a solo tanker 2. 1 tank dominating an entire team for 5+ matches before dieing is balance. 3. Advance tank should always trump proto anti-vehicle With this new crap update, I've spent more sp on my suit than a tanker, more isk on my lav+suit than a tank, and yet they will still argue that they deserve to win every time in 1v1. Don't try to speak logic to them. They'll only cry and try to bring you down to their level of stupidity. CCP will always listen to the people that cry the most. I used to think that they had good customer service, but now I know they lack any real common sense of creating a competitive fps. I don't think the devs even play their own game before updates are released. I refuse to believe they actually thought 1.7 was good while playing it. Damn that flunking kindergarten bit still has me cackling like an idiot even after 5 minutes

OP number of problems with this idea
Who skills up what for the vehicle and turrrets and mods?
Would both players have to skill up excatly the same things to use it?
How would it effect a python?
Where is my vehicle lock so i dont get a bluedot in my turret or as a driver?

Tanking is no longer Expensive. My best AV fit costs twice as much as most tanks on the battlefield. Any they aren't an SP sink either. You don't have to max out even half of the skills to be good against AV. Heck even MLT HAVs with MLT mods can withstand PRO AV try again.
AV can't solo a vehicle anymore. Try again.
If you have the ability to require an entire squad to destroy, then you should require more than 1 person to operate.

CCP gave us "waves of opportunity" if you hit us during a "wave of opportunity" prepare to die.
also, if you're dead set on separating drivers and gunners. who needs the turret skills and who needs the driving skills? what happens if you don't get your usual gunner/driver and the replacement doesn't have the same skills?

Swarm Launchers have a 20% damage bonus to armor. They are designed to devastate armored vehicles. An armor tanker complaining about Swarm Launchers is like someone in a Caldari suit complaining about Scrambler Rifles.
And anyone can destroy a vehicle in it's rep cycle. Now while it hardners are on is a whole other story.
"Waves of Opportunity"? Your vehicles even without NOS move way too fast to actually have a "wave of opportunity". And a dropship can literally fly above your lock range and still allow troops to spawn in. They can also fly 176m above you when their hardners die and be literally invincible to Swarm Launchers.
1.6? I find it hilariously ironic how I could easily survive volleys and clips of PRO AV, yet proclaimed "vets" couldn't. I find it hilarious how my corpmate, The True Inferno's ADS could even survive my PRO AV when I went against him, yet proclaimed "vets" couldn't. Either I was really good, or pilots just plain suck at their jobs.
And I've even seen these forum pilots in action before. You know what they do when they are being attacked by AV? Stand there.
Heck, even a MLT DS that was fitted properly could survive PRO AV.
Yet proclaimed "vets" couldn't.

The person deploying the vehicle needs to have the skills to operate the turret, but anyone can operate it.
