With all the goddamn buffs and sheild tanks have now throwing such weapons now is just a minor irritant, and whem finally tanks do feel the sting they just jet out to go heal themselves...
you dont up the anty on one aspect of a game and not balance it around the universe its in...its ******* bad game design CCP!
Tanks aren't really OP so much as tank spam is. It's easy to bring in five tanks and just completely steamroll even the best of teams, because once those tanks are out, there's not much you can do against them. Swarm launchers probably shouldn't get a buff though, as they're the easiest AV weapon to use (skill wise) and put the user at very little risk overall compared to using a forge gun or plasma cannon. RE's could use a buff, but that's about it. Killing a single tank at this point is actually pretty easy, either bring in another tank or RE the guy with a scout suit, or heck, crash an LAV into him. Main problem at this point really is the pricing. You can load up with a hundred fitted militia tanks for a few million and use them all day with no issues, where as before, a good tank might have been nearly invincible, but you were likely forking over almost a million isk or more for it and militia tanks were **** so there was no real spam in most cases.
Seriously though, try the RE's and a scout suit, or a logi works too, especially if you fit some sprinting mods on. Took out three tanks once in a single match (Can't be sure, but I don't think I died at all either) all militia mind you, but those RE's and the plasma cannon (especially with a few damage mods and proficiency lv5) can be pretty deadly. RE the tank, hit it with the cannon, then detonate the RE's to kill it before they can activate hardeners. Works like a charm. |
