How, if that is the case for both sides, is that unbalanced? You can still tank dance with the stars.

Strength should come at a price and it becomes a matter of whose tank team is better.

I don't like your idea which is why I present my own. Hopefully that isn't too convoluted for you.

But then again you like to title your threads with YOLO and say fgt so it doesn't surprise me.

A tank does sacrifice boot power. I'm not dropping uplinks, spawning at uplinks, capturing points, reviving teammates, or any of the myriad of things ONLY infantry can do. Namely: Winning the game.

You should sleep sir. Your inability to respond directly to any post started at poor and has spiraled downward with time

first of all uplink spam causes framerate issues and no one wins with that kind of play.

beside that, games are won by keeping people AWAY from objectives, not by pressuring/hacking objectives. if you have to pressure objectives against a dedicated & organized PC team you are already losing the match. a tank, that is practically immune to infantry does anyway BOTH alot better compared to a suit that can die in 0.5 seconds to any weapon on the field.

I don't even begin to comprehend this. You have to take points to win the game. If they capture 3 and you capture 2 points at the start, the game isn't over. Your team takes a point and then tries to hold.

I admit my PC experience is small but it's clearly more than you've seen.

Thousands of uplinks happen to break the game, but they're not being dropped specifically to break the game, only to make killing the uplinks completely unreasonable and thus putting immense pressure on points.

We can usually avoid each other or flee if the fight isnt going our way but we escape by the skin of our teeth (all mods down, less than half HP) Which puts us in a VERY dangerous spot for AV. If you're solo AV. Youre doing it wrong. If you're grouped AV, youre doing it wrong but better. If you're an AV user in squad with a vehicle. you're doing it right. also nitrous mod needs to be removed. It no longer has a place with these new speeds.

I'm not sure that is coherent but I think I understand what you're trying to say. It's because tanks cant drop uplinks or hack points or go indoors. A theoretical match of 16 tanks vs 16 infantry (both are absolutely restricted to their role) would have the tank side getting approximately 3 kills before all points were capped and the infantry danced inside buildings celebrating their victory. Tanks are a supplemental force to winning a match but they are far from any sort of ability to win it by themselves.

In other words if I bring out my blaster maddy its either A. Your punishment for letting me run armonk. B. Fooling me thinking its safe enough to do this.

KGB Sleep Ikomari-Onu Enforcement Caldari State 497	Posted - 2013.12.13 08:18:00 - [15] - Quote If it takes more than one proto AV to destroy a tank it should take more than one operator for a tank to reach full potential. Tanks throughout history have been team vehicles. At least 2 people to operate a tank. 1 driver / gunner and 1 active module operator / gunner. So if no teamwork, which is now required of AV (and including a vehicle per OP) a tank should be an eggshell. Easy to solo / repel. Only as a team should they be strong. This is needed for balance because AV needs to team up to beat a tank and that means their team has to fit AV and be vulnerable to enemy infantry that doesn't. Losing primary slots to ineffectual swarms av nades or gimped FGs is a real hit while tankers get to multitask with modules and gunning. Where's my backpack that shoots swarms while I fire my forge gun? Tanks need to be broken into teams just like AV has been broken into teams. Balance. "Because beer, that's why."

This pressures me out of the match or pops me. Or you can forgo the tank friendly points and hold the city and the other team is down one person who can actually help in that situation because theyre sitting in a tank with nothing to shoot at.

Agreed. MLT tanks are too strong. This is because they removed all SP increases to hp/damage. SP now only increases time on field. This is a valid argument. MLT tanks need to be nerfed.

Oh you've never played dust. I got it. You see the TTK is approximately three millions of a second and the TTDAU (Time to drop an uplink) is approximately 4 seconds out of a vehicle. If I'm putting an uplink somewhere useful, I'm going to die. If I'm not going to die, the uplink isn't useful. Strictly speaking in a PC environment of course.
