BobThe 844-1 CakeMan Murder Cakes Of Doom 1255	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:30:00 - [1] - Quote Tanks are not OP. Saying it right now whether u agree or not. doesn't matter read either way. Tanks are cheap and even milita tanks r effective, and are easily good enough to beat a better tank. It's about the same difference from milita to std suits. 1 has clear advantage, but it could go either way. now milita vehciles and mods are avaliable to everyone so there is no excuse why u can't use one if needed. This also adds a layer of vehicle gameplay into dust and not just infantry. Another thing this does is allow for more tank duels and being a force to be reckoned with. AV is used to make a vehicle leave or give another vehicle an advantage in tank v tank, just like a sniper would to infantry. On the same note thou i would like to say the turrets do need to be tweaked esspecially the rail. After playing a few days i have come to this conclusion, Also don't give me this ISK crap. u infantry were the same ones to say isk does not balance the game so STFU. Tank driver. 10 mil SP in tanks 8 mil into infantry. Msg my main BobThe843CakeMan I ring for everyone. :D

Sicas with milita rail turrets kill tanks. Jihad jeeps kill tanks. So many ways to kill tanks. If you let someone go 30-0 on you in a madrugar, it's because you're on a bad random team.
Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 227	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:42:00 - [3] - Quote What about the rail needs to be changed? Also, do you know if there is anything that prevents me from running multiple damage amps at the same time? If I activate 2 or 3 at the same time, is there a stacking penalty for the damage bonus? I haven't had enough time to test the glass cannon fits. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

I haven't had enough time to test the glass cannon fits. well as of now rail has higher damage than the old compressed railgun and higher RoF. And back then tanks had higher hit points to deal with. even against a blaster or missile in close quarters a rail still wins. a rail should be a long range to mid range weapin and not used at close quarters and still bee number one. prehaps if it had an effect where it started off low damage and increased the longer it traveled it would be better. obiously with a cap at the damage it has now.

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 1963	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:45:00 - [5] - Quote The cost itself doesn't really matter. However there should be an actual consequence to losing HAVs, similar to how there is a consequence to losing a PRO dropsuit. This super low price currently does nothing but encourage vehicle spam. And MLT vehicles shouldn't be good or nearly as good as the other variants in the same sense that a MLT or [Starter] fit isn't nearly as good as a STD/ADV/PRO dropsuit fitting. Also, this current build gives literally no incentive to use AV. Tell me, why would people use AV when a MLT tank is better than PRO AV in every condition way shape or form. Also, AV is supposed to be Anti-Vehicle. Meaning "Anti". Not tickle the target so that the other vehicle can take it down. Being the best counter to yourselves is OP. DUST 514 just went full COD. Never go full COD.
Cosgar ParagonX 8645	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:46:00 - [6] - Quote No QQ here. I'm loving the tank spam. The game feels like something more than a free to play CoD with such a strong vehicle presence. It's not perfectly balanced (yet) but it's fun as hell, even from a purely infantry perspective. But, I don't expect vehicle prices to stay exactly the same, not as a balancing point anyway. CCP is probably in full on data collection mode and with all vehicles so accessible, it makes the job that much easier. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a vehicle based event around the corner. Whether to collect data or not, it's long overdue. One thing that 1.7 exposed however, is that there are a lot of spoiled infantry and "dedicated" AV out there that got soft ofer the past 6 months, still using the same tactics and expecting the same results as when vehicles were utterly crippled in Uprising 1.0-1.6. The irony is that vehicles (especially tanks) are even more squishy but can only have short engagements before having to haul ass and heal/restock. It's very much what infantry combat should be. Once people stop QQing and step their game up a bit (with some minor tweaks to balancing) the growing pains will subside and people can go back to crying about logis, mass drivers, or whatever the hell else they'd rather blame over their own shortcomings. At the end of the day, you gotta give Wolfman respect. He's doing Obama tier work when it comes to making Dust fun again. Now, who's lamb do I have to glaze to get RE's buffed so I don't have to use 4 boundless to take out a MLT tank? I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1213	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:48:00 - [7] - Quote Honestly installations are kinda scary as **** now, especially missiles installations that get the full DPS benefit without any need to reload. The one and only issue I have with tanks right now is the speed. Base speed is REALLY high, and while a tank should be able to flee if it needs to, the ability to practically fly across the map is a little much. As a tanker though I love that I"m no longer terrified to see infantry, because now I can actually afford to lose a tank in a match and not be in the red for the next hour. It also encourages a lot of tank vs tank combat which is something I always loved seeing in Dust trailers but never experienced in-game. Now there are always targets being dropped in we get some of these epic 3 vs 3 tank battles that I've dreamed of. ADS Reports - Defining Racial Themes

Being the best counter to yourselves is OP. in PC proto forges still ** me the ** off and end up making the other tank win in a tank v tank fight. AV is still there. but i do agree points for vehicle damage would make it a lot better. i think MLT tanks should be, just as a milita dropsuit can kill proto a MLT tank should be able to do the same. This also encourages more ppl to become tank drivers as it doesn't take a lot of SP anymore to make a decent tank. Light av should not hurt like it does now and heavy av should like it does now. no change is needed. Tank driver. 10 mil SP in tanks 8 mil into infantry.

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 8743	Posted - 2013.12.13 22:52:00 - [11] - Quote There's no risk vs reward to tanking, and you can hop into it with basically no SP investment on your part to speak of. It's stupid right now because there isn't even a point to killing the tank other than to stop him getting free kills. I can't tell you how many times I zero in on a soma or sica that's been terrorizing all match, and once it gets even close to popping, the pilot just hops out and runs away. Why? Because it costs him next to nothing and he's already raked in a ton of kills off of players far more skilled than him. Tanks are stupid right now because there's no risk to run them vs the reward of running them, exactly opposite of the risk required to take them down, vs the lack of reward for doing so. Vids / O7

AV is used to make vehicles leave or give someone else the advantage like a sniper....lol AV is ment to take out vehicles fullstop that's the hole idea of AV...... and a snipers jobe is to kill someone with one shot. If one side has tanks as far as your concerned they should win, the idea of AV is to give people without tanks the chance to kick tank arse.... granted balancing does need to be looked at big time, but Av does need to be a little bit better .. just for there sake..... swarms arepointless now because of there speed *Laugh, and the world laughs with you;Weep, and you weep alone*

That may be the opinion of anyone who sits in a tank, and absorbs a few volleys of militia swarms. Then you get hit by ProtoSwarms/Forge, Railgun Tanks/Installations, Sticky explosives/Kamikaze LAVs, and you start to realize that you aren't an invincible powerhouse as everyone makes you out to be.

I've got to pick up on this, so pardon the selective quoting. When we said "you can't balance on ISK" we meant "don't make one player in a tank fundamentally stronger than one player not in a tank".

crazy space 1 GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 2082	Posted - 2013.12.14 00:32:00 - [27] - Quote If they had less top speed and we had web mines prox mines do 750 damage whats with that? I'd say remove prox mines alltogether, make them web mines. When someone comes into range it's set offand give a debuff, 50% speed. Making it possible to run up in a fast scout and lob remote mines n the tank. Then take out a pistole and blow the tank to pieces. I like how awesome tanks are, but if we can't trap them there is nothing we can do. I like the balance keep it. In my last game we had a tanker ramming other tanks just to stop them from being able to move. This works really well on the soma, that thing turns like a brick. Trapping tanks and keeping them from moving is the way to kill tanks. At one point I threw 4 remote mines on the tank my friend had up against a wall. He blew up my friends tank , fully repped his shields and started to afterburn away when I waited to blow him up :P

Justin Tymes Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 543	Posted - 2013.12.14 06:36:00 - [48] - Quote No reason whatsoever to use more Infantry over tanks in Ambush. Tanks are cheaper, faster, impervious to almost every weapon in the game, and nearly invulnerable to everything during boost mode. The only reason to use Infantry in other modes is to capture objectives and kill nuisance Forge Gunners, tanks can hold them just fine. If it doesn't matter if it wasn't intended, it certainly is Tank514 right now. 1.7 has turned the game into tanks vs tanks vs things that can kill tanks in all game modes. It's not Pre-Uprising where the best tanks just dominated everything with no resistance, but it's still pretty bad.

Saying it right now whether u agree or not. doesn't matter read either way. Tanks are cheap and even milita tanks r effective, and are easily good enough to beat a better tank. It's about the same difference from milita to std suits. 1 has clear advantage, but it could go either way. now milita vehciles and mods are avaliable to everyone so there is no excuse why u can't use one if needed. This also adds a layer of vehicle gameplay into dust and not just infantry. Another thing this does is allow for more tank duels and being a force to be reckoned with. AV is used to make a vehicle leave or give another vehicle an advantage in tank v tank, just like a sniper would to infantry. On the same note thou i would like to say the turrets do need to be tweaked esspecially the rail. After playing a few days i have come to this conclusion, Also don't give me this ISK crap. u infantry were the same ones to say isk does not balance the game so STFU. Hahaha...... AV is used to make vehicles leave or give someone else the advantage like a sniper....lol AV is ment to take out vehicles fullstop that's the hole idea of AV...... and a snipers jobe is to kill someone with one shot. If one side has tanks as far as your concerned they should win, the idea of AV is to give people without tanks the chance to kick tank arse.... granted balancing does need to be looked at big time, but Av does need to be a little bit better .. just for there sake..... swarms arepointless now because of there speed light av that any suit can use, even a scout, and av nades that anyone can fit and that cost 15k isk should not be able to drop a tank on the spot.
