I hate tanks, but I was driving around in one today to try it out. I still hate tanks.
Here's my build:
Gunnlogi:
3 Complex Shield Upgrades and two of the Core upgrade active module skills to level 2
1 passive armor rep
1 CPU upgrade
Proto Blaster turret (I was using the aurum variant - level 3)
With this build, you have continuous shield hardners - NO cool down. My driver carries a forge, so I can take out turrets and dropships as I need to. I even took out a few other tanks, but once an orbital hit me as I stepped out, lol.
There is no AV on the field that can take you out. You can passively heal through 1-2 swarmers. Proto AV nades are a joke. I would estimate that a maxed out proto forge with 2 complex dmg mods might have been able to take me out in about 5-6 shots if they all landed, but I killed them by the time they fired 2.
the only threat on the field is another tank, and with hardners constantly up, there's usually plenty of time to retreat. If I were a decent tanker, I could probably take a few tanks down without using my forge.
I'm the first to admit, I suck at tanking. But that doesn't stop me from going 10+ and 0 regularly. My worst match, I died twice. I even let my 5 year old son drive around in it for a while. He doesn't do that great, but even he can kill people with it occasionally.
Interesting day. |

Was it you by any chance?
Yep, lol. That was my first match. probably the worst one of the day. Nice shot btw. you were half way across the map and nailed me in the face. What was that about rail guns not being effective against infantry? I felt a little better when the tank behind you killed you. |

My wife doesn't play this game, but I had to show her your post. We both had a good laugh. Thanks mate. +1 |

Don't need to tank to see that tanks are a joke. Even the "worst" fit pwns 95% of the map. Your tanker "business" is ruining the game for everyone else.

but u won't have 3 on at the same time.
prepare to die to the rail.
my tank eats all for breakfast and leaves no survivors for dinner. O_o
perhaps, but there aren't enough of you to go around. I didn't run into you all day. Of the last 10 matches, i think I died twice to another tank. Then I died about 5 times because I got out of the tank.
I know, that's bad. But it was my first day, and I had very little sp in it. I'm sure that if I wanted to continue with a tank I would get better. But I don't. |

What is alpha damage?
Benjamin Ciscko wrote:It's hard to touch the vets they run with support I had 2 AV guys 2 guys who could run AV if needed a second tanker and someone who could bring in a tank if absolutely necessary. Only me and the guy who could bring in a tank in dire circumstances made it in he had 2 shield body guards who would jump me whenever I got close. Eventually the other guy brought out a tank distracted covert long enough for me to take out a flanking a shield so I could go against covert mono a mono and I whooped him  . This was when the server crash happened so organization turned to mush.
Good teamwork is pretty awesome. But even solo, I would say I was near unstoppable to most of my opponents today. |

One sure fire way to kill you would be a maddy with 2 complex damage mods and a proto blaster or a maddy with 1 damage mod and a small turret.
Maybe, but I don't think the problem of too many tanks on the field should have to be solved by bringing in more tanks. Right now it seems to be the only option for some tanks, unfortunately.

::sigh::
**** vehicles. All of them. Just **** them. I want all my AV SP back since the only reliable method is RE suicide.
I'm with you 100%. We'll see what changes come tomorrow. Long overdue HMG buff, and a "slight" decrease in HAV top speed. I have my doubts, but I"ll try it.
I don't get to use my HMG much since 1.7. I can't seem to put down the forge.
On the bright side, I Jihad'd Alldin Kan HAV in the match you left a little while ago. I know he saw it coming too. KABOOM! I laughed for 5 minutes. It just never gets old. |
