It should be like that, but as it stands, a fresh faced merc out of the academy is 90% as effective as a veteran tanker with millions of SP sunk into tanks. that's the real issue here.

So? I've got 14m back into my shields, turrets and HAV 1, I don't give a damn if I get hit by a newb and killed, people need to stop asking to win against all the things, experience and skill > SP. You're paying for an advantage, your SP also gives an advantage, you survive an extra shot from a rail, or a full missile volley in an armor tank. Your experience is what should keep you alive.

Again, fighting noobs all day, in 3v1 scenarios and winning them. I've lost a max of 5 tanks today, despite wasting a shtton of tanks, I counted 12 wasted in one match from me, along with 4 Jihad Jeeps. Seriously, if we weren't strong enough already, ya'll want to make newbs weaker?

If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Seriously, if we weren't strong enough already, ya'll want to make newbs weaker? So noob tankers being as unkillable as veteran tankers is fine? it's kind of why all the AV is whining. Before: good tankers were fairly difficult to kill but doable with some planning, noob tankers were fodder for AV and other tankers alike. Now: Good tankers are as unkillable as possible, short of acts of god, server crashes, or diconnects. Noobs are only mostly unkillable. You seriously don't see the problem with that? I can point it out if you like: All tanks will be taking a nerf bat to the kneecaps while AV gets buffed up to "one tiny mistake and a single AVer will kill you six ways to sunday without even trying" again. You want that? If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.
