II hear you, I dedicated my entire night to tank hunting last night and only killed 6. 3 of them with car bombs, 1 gunlogi with combination flux swarm, and 2 with sticky REs.

Here's the gorilla I see once this speed thing is fixed, redline rails will be untouchable. REs are the only way I can imagine doing enough damage to an armor tank before he gets away from you, REs don't deploy in the redline. Before if there was a vagina in the redline there was a good chance you could get to him and take him out before your clone timed out, now that will be near impossible even with three proto AV mercs. Not to mention 1 proto AV cost as much as most tanks now, having to deploy three times the asset cost for the chance to remove this stain is not very cost effective.

To answer your question OP unbalanced. If it had just been a cost change, I say balanced, just an AV nerf, balanced, just indestructible hit and run changed to the hardeners, balanced, but all three together is to much IMO.

I am just tired to argue when it is obvious that something is not right, anyway I edited my post. driving tanks is like playing CoD, you blitz around and kill stuff left and right. the only thing that is now missing is a dog launcher.
Knight Soiaire BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 3742	Posted - 2013.12.12 16:40:00 - [14] - Quote Can we at least let the patch settle first? Can we at least give AVers (QQers) time to adapt to the new style of HAVs? ******* Scouts have been doing it for 6 months now, its just laziness from the AVers side. Only thing that needs fixing is the MLT Nitrous Injector, then we need webifiers added so players can slow the HAVs down. I guarentee, majority of the people here have been trying to solo HAVs. And of course REs are meant for AV, why else would they do over 1500 damage? Why else would CCP have added the ability for them to stick to surfaces, INCLUDING vehicles? Buff Shotguns

Going to give it at least a week to see how it shakes out. No sense being dramatic. Exactly this. First days of new builds are NOT the time to get a fair picture on balance. As always happens bugs will get corrected that cause imbalances (o.k maybe not always ) and new strategies will be developed.
Boot Booter Omega Elite Mercs INC. 218	Posted - 2013.12.12 16:53:00 - [17] - Quote Unbalanced I feel like I should say something sensible but I think everyone knows the reasons why already. Still, there's usually tanks on both sides and I run dampeners, so they mostly leave me alone. In my opinion, based on what I've read and seen, they are a bit fast and a bit cheap. The nerf to AV was really unnecessary. Edit: I agree it is fairly early to tell.

It's the speed that is making the tanks annoying now. can you imagine tho when they do get rid of it? HaHa

CCP have done that nerf one thing and buff another without really comprehending the true impact it will have on the game. They should have made one change relating to vehicles instead of two.

TANK HEY YOU SHOULD RUN WITH THAT IDEA AND START YOUR OWN ONLINE GAME.... OOH, THATS RIGHT THEY ALREADY HAVE ONE BUT WE ARE HERE PLAYING DUST INSTEAD? Before your FWA got here there was a time when tanks owned ambush and other matches so ccp buffed swarms and basically a/v as a whole. Tanks were then operated by actual good players and the bad tankers died quickly. I killed about 10 tanks in a few matches last night with a proto weapon though I died many times due to chasing them across the map or not being able to shoot the final kill shot at something as fast a corvette. Most the of players were poor tankers so even with the speed glitch, so they died by my gun but they also killed a lot more than their personal skills should have allowed. Thats just it you see this game is about skill and to many times we get weapons or updates that create advantages to the unskilled players for to long.

CCP will extinguish this class once they take the booster and nerf it.
Gelan Corbaine Gladiators Vanguard 248	Posted - 2013.12.12 17:26:00 - [27] - Quote This is actually a two prong question in my view . Are Tanks vs AV mechanically balanced ? I say mostly yes ... the speed bug need to be fixed and a few more slight tweaks upward need to be done to both the Swarm and PLC . The Forge is in a good place though the Breach might need a looking over . We would be relatively balanced however ...... Are Tanks vs AV balanced economically ? No. Completely unbalanced ....... it's not even close.... AV as a whole is simply not viable economically now . No job is worth doing if you don't get paid in the end .

Once Mercenaries get to Chromosome levels of 15/16 people carrying AV grenades it will be a different landscape. Everyone still has Core Locus and M1's and haven't adjusted. AV grenades need's Chromosome homing though.. with how fast everything is now tanks can outrun an AV before it even falls from the sky onto them. Having Chromosome AV grenade tracking would balance it.
