I was watching all the trailers earlier and it struck me to see almost as many vehicles as infantry (it also looks really epic tbh). It made me realise that maybe CCP INTENDS to have 5 tanks/vehicles on each side per battle. Tanks are really fun to use now too (if you haven't tried it, buy a militia tank. Its a blast).
For those worried about tank spam: vehicles usually regard enemy vehicles as top priority threath. Meaning that those tanks on each team will anhyliate each other without even looking at infantry (at least, that's what I do). Ambush also doesn't count cause its already a broken clusterf**k.

Maybe they want this to be a vehicle game, who knows.

Vehicle usage has always been intended, just not spamming. Spamming is just the fun side effect.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Maybe they want this to be a vehicle game, who knows. I think they want this to be more 50/50 or 40/60. I think the main problem we have right now is that people expect this to be 5% vehicle 95% infantry (infantry514). Hence the complaints.
I would be really interested to hear what ideal infantry/vehicle ratio CCP has in mind.

That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about  . Imagine how epic the battles would be between two team charging at each other with that kind of hardware and ordonance involved !!!

No, it's actually been 1.4 years of me playing this game. I started around August. |

As long as both teams are tank spamming I could care less because that means all the tanks are worried about each other so the infantry can do whatever they want. I don't know whether to encourage tank spam or discourage it.

Things intended by CCP do more damage to the game than random blunders.

Haha - no, CCP just likes to mess with people so they skill back into tanks, before they nerf them again. This time with no RESPEC :P |

S'all good; I got 5M back aside from what I dumped into tanks :D

2-3 HAVs per side, 1-2 derpships per side as well as a few LAVs per side leaves you with about half your team in vehicles. Anything more than that with 16 player teams is beyond stupid and there's no way CCP would want something like that.

spamming is not the problem, easy access to vehicles is actually a good, especially for new players, it is just not done well.
when a tank fit for 100k isk + free starter suit with zero SP is way more effective than a proto suit for twice that cost and 10million SP then something is not right. |

Vehicles look better for trailers.
End of story.
If you talk about what CCP intends, they probably don't know, other than balanced and fun.
Unfortunately for infantry, having no way to fight back is not fun at all. Even if AV was viable, getting slaughtered and forced to deviate from your playstyle, as in forced to go AV, is also very crappy and unfun.
Thats why in games such as halo, its possible for anyone to kill vehicles even w/out the anti vehicle weapons as long as they have skill. Then there's games like battlefield where so many of the common roles also allow anti tank ability, like planes, helicopters, and a class w/ an SMG and RPG that people love to use the class for(engineer) that also includes an AV role. The fact that these roles are common by themselves and used anyways serves to balance potential vehicle threats.
In dust if you want to kill a tank you got 2 options.
1. Use a tank.
2. Use AV, and sacrifice infantry killing ability.
Everything else is impractical which is why tanks are unbalanced, and very hard to balance with any aspect of fun being intended. It's simply that there are not enough ways to kill tanks, or at least disable them.
Why not make flux grenades disable enemy vehicles for 15 seconds? Introduce attack air vehicles(not lolderpships).
Basically have common roles in the game that serve as more than one role, such as also being vehicle deterrents.
If the FG and PLC were also viable anti infantry weapons(excluding roof sniping) then a person could use them all the time, thus they'd be a great balance.
Instead, the FG is only used on roofs or as AV. And the PLC is LOLPLC.
This is bad mmkay. |

And what happens when only 1 side spams vehicles?
CCP do intend for there to be a large number of vehicles, but they also expect considerably more players at a time!
In 252 v 252 battles I would easily expect to see somewhere between 50-70 active vehicles!
In 504 v 504 battles having nearly 180-200 vehicles per side wouldn't be out of place, but if you mean 7 Tanks (and only Tanks) per side in 16v16 match? No I don't think they intended that!
Tanks 514
I told you, I bloody well told you.
