TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR F.T.U. IMMORTAL REGIME 840	Posted - 2013.12.16 03:27:00 - [1] - Quote it's really quite simple. i was playing yesterday and today and at first i was cool with the tanks. that was until i kept getting put into a match with 4+ tanks on the enemy team. to be honest tanks are fine right now. in every aspect (except for price) possible. it's not the quality of the tanks, as in being OP. It's the Quantity of them. i agree, tanks should require teamwork, and they do. i'm not saying to nerf them. let me give you some perspective: 1 tank - tough to kill with just one person, but possible. two people can easily make short work of it. 2 tanks - tougher, but still possible. with proto AV and some good teammates, you can take them out. 3 tanks - getting into the OP category. it is already taking four or more people for the other two tanks, so this is getting really tough. a ful squad of good AVers can still make short work of them, in the right set-up. 4+ tanks - this is what we are seeing so often. this is why everyone sees tanks as OP. if thos tanks are staying in a pack, then there is no way to take them out fast enough, before the one you're aiming at escapes. on top of that you have to deal with the fire the other 3+ are throwing at you. this is when tanks may be considered OP. my solution is to limit the amount of tanks per team to no higher than 3. this way, AV will still have a chance and both teams still get a fair amount of action. Tell me, how exactly DOES a biscuit gain Valor?

Lorhak Gannarsein 718	Posted - 2013.12.16 03:30:00 - [3] - Quote Checkmate suggested this, and I agree. As an INTERIM fix. At least until infantry have some kind of webifier (oh god I said it) to slow us down, thereby rendering us vulnerable to AV. >Cosgar: You know, tanks are actually paper thin once their modules are in cooldown.

Cause I don't want to be useless because 3 blueberries decided to call in somas Going to stay out of AV/V debates, better for my sanity. GÿåTank driverGÿå
Lorhak Gannarsein 718	Posted - 2013.12.16 03:31:00 - [6] - Quote Also, I'd want any countermeasures for such a module to be low slots. Gunnys already have shorter active periods, and are more vulnerable with hardeners inactive. >Cosgar: You know, tanks are actually paper thin once their modules are in cooldown.

Maybe I have a hard time sympathizing for the majority of known AVers, but it's now our fault their scrubby tactics don't work anymore.

Fair enough. Honestly, your best bet is to get somewhere they can't get you and just deny them the area. But with that many tanks you may have issues denying it to all of them.
