Because most of us don't want to be playing Tank514.

We have played and enjoyed this game because it has been a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER... with vehicles.

Not a ******* vehicle wargame with 5-6 tanks on either side that take zero skill points to call in and cost 1/2 the price of a proto suit that took most of us MONTHS to grind out and earn. Nevermind the fact that my proto AV does **** to militia tanks and it takes 2-3 AV players coordinated efforts to take down one cheap no SP required militia tank.

Tanks needed a buff to survivability or speed or reduction in cost, not all 3 along with a hefty nerf to AV and the ability for a team to call in 5-6? whatever the number of tanks allowed on each side.

Broken balance is broken, anyone who says otherwise is either not playing the game or perfectly happy with Tank514.

Cheers.

Probably cuz they dont think?
They have not checked how much tank prices are
Too busy crying on forum's

adapt or die..i have 33 million sp all into proto suits...and i mlt tank spam..it works im having fun i dont wanna quit..i start running my suits other than av ina hav and im miserable ..not because of enemy tanks though because of shoddy game mechanics and miserably unbalanced infantry warfare

the problem is exactly that while im dropping half a million isk into my tank some none skilled trash player is dropping less then 100K isk. then when i go into a match there are 3 to 4 tanks ready to **** the life out of mine, i mean at most i'll take two down then the third to half armor but its not worth its weight when the guy bails or speeds into the red zone recall his tank call it back then i have 3 tanks ready to ravange me again. im losing to much from players who are trash and destroying the good name of honest, SKILLED, tankers.

Thanks for clarifying that you are perfectly happy with Tank514

And by Adapt or Die I assume you mean.... call in a MLT tank? amirite?

LOLZ..... now that's the diverse MMOFPSRPG that I signed up for 2 years ago.

Please.

It's an issue because it completely invalidates almost everything else.

I roll my sica over std tanks because they think they have the advantage. Wrong. They get all tough and usually end up exploding just short of their red line.

its a hell of a feat to kill a skilled tanker with MLT, but its their fault for fitting their tanks to kill Infantry. Shame on them

seriously why is it an issue?

everyone can use em..they are not stronger than specced tanks..it requires serious skill on the users part or serious lack of on the enemies part for a mlt tank to trump a stnd..and that is only 1 tier difference. we dont even have adv or proto tanks.

i think the reason stnd tanks are getting killed by mlt is either because they are being ganged up on,or they are out skilled by the mlt tanker.

its a doable challenge to kill a stnd tank with a mlt tank. stop crying blue dots

and its super easy to kill a stnd tank with a mlt tank and stnd -adv av

even if your whole team has no av and no skilled tankers you can always all call mlt havs .

if that were the case why are we seeing so many tanks? Most people are here because dust gives us something not found in other games. I would have to say it is options. My class slots are constantly maxed out with various fits needed for battle. My assets are substantial. My wallet is fat. In other games my only option is start over. Here I just keep getting more bad ass

asking this question proves your opinion on the subject doesn't matter.

everyone being able to use them is the problem

and the fact mlt isn't stronger than specced tanks exacerbates this problem

and no, no skill is required.... I am bad at tanks I never killed a tank with my militia sica before this build... I just killed 3 in less than 2 minutes.... no sp required....

tanks spam is just as bad as any other spam.

flaylock spam, MD spam AR spam grenade spam..... its all problems....

instead of reducing one trick pony tactics ccp just created a new one... also a problem.

I hope ive enlightened you, though I highly doubt it.

you cant squeeze intelligence out of a rock....

or its they're fault for just sucking at tanking..mlt hav ina skilled tankers hand vs stnd have ina scrubs hand..easy win mlt have ina skilled tankers hands vs stnd have ina skilled tankers hands..have fun your in for a heated battle that you will only win by yourself if your just that good

God damn, quit with the ellipses!

First. I don't see it as an issue. I think the base hulls should have their prices increased, and I think top speeds should decrease, but otherwise halt the nerf train until tanks are somewhat more complete.
Does my agreement with Mort mean that my opinion doesn't matter?

Clearly there are others who are worse at tanks than you.
I have no issues killing MLT tanks. (Unless there are five - bloody Nyain - but that's my own fault for running solo)

And quit with the ad hominem - all it achieves is making this poisonous forum all the more venomous.

I played the first couple of days after 1.7 landed, and got destroyed repeatedly by tanks that were laughing off all and any AV. It all seemed a bit broken so I decided to have a few days off. When I go back on tonight, I'm going to go tanking. Sorry, but I want to play my favourite game, and in a tank seems the only way I can, especially as FW as a Caldari seems particularly rubbish. (15 matches, 15 losses, many millions of ISK lost!)

Haha, nearly killed a missile Madrugar yesterday. With an unfitted Sica that I'd only finished hacking as the Maddy came around the corner :P
