I like the idea of how fast the tanks are. They can easily be worth 500k-1mil isk. It got very annoying when they were so easily destroyed by an AV guy, whose suit was worth about 200k isk AT MOST. AV really should not have been able to take out an HAV solo. People try to compare AV vs HAV to modern, real life tech, not realizing that HAV's are tanks of the future. Seriously though, don't listen to these whiners out there.

Dear players: it was unacceptable how a cheap suit could have taken out such an expensive piece of equipment. Now CCP is simply requiring AV teamwork. Its not that hard. This is only day 3 of the update and I've lost two tanks, so its not impossible to take them out. I haven't played today, but I'm expecting to lose a third HAV today too. Hard work, teamwork, and perseverance is they key to take out an HAV AVer's. Keep at trying and not whining, and you can still see us go KA-BOOM like a firecracker.


Before you judge me, I'm skilled in all battlefield roles. AV included.

It can be done, all it took for me last night was a bit of co-ordination between myself and another AV user, plus the tank running main distraction to destroy one. If its that easy to get into the tanking business now then by all means do it and find your calling. If your going to whine about not being able to be the "Rambo" of the bunch in a tactical team game anyways, then find the solution in a Anti-Tank HAV. That's what should be happening more often now.

I am a AV user myself, and yes I do not like the changes they made to my job, but to be honest between all of us. no one single person should have been able to destroy a tank on their own anyways.

Granted, they do have to fix the speed a bit, keep the buffs to health though.

You yourself have to Agree General that when you start moving, its like watching a moving fortress with the speed of an LAV.

Im not saying completely remove the Speed increase, just tune it down a bit so we can have a semi-decent shot at getting on the field into vital areas. Cant easily do that when all it takes is one Tank to keep the entire map in check thanks to speed, not to actual firepower.

The gallentean tank is fast, but slow on acceleration
The caldari tank is slow, but fast on acceration

The main reason why the Gallentean tank is slow is because CCP is expecting people to armor tank them, which would slow them down jurastically.

As for the whole future tank thing, who is to say if the AV or the HAV is ahead in technology. Well, the fact is that if a tank is going to be that expensive, it should rightfully be more advanced in tech.

AV whiners: I have come to the conclusion that if most of you can't take out an HAV, then u aren't doing it right. So either adapt, or find a new role. You are not worthy of calling yourself an AVer. All the AVer's I talk to are able to take out an HAV easily. Turn away from the swarm launcher if you have to, and skill into the high-end forge guns.

You want it to take teamwork to kill a tank? make it require teamwork to operate the tank at all. Otherwise require 1 AV suit to kill 1 vehicle. Otherwise the game is broken.

There not finished with HAV yet they need to make like drop ships where you have one person driving them and another shooting the big gun.
