the point of stronger av, is tht it's stronger and more capable of destroying tougher vehicles, no to go look it's a tank give me 1 sec with my proto forge and shoot it twice and it dies with hardeners up.
tanks with mods down are extremely weak
i do think webifiers should be added to balance the speed of tanks thou. You can get over 300 hp per second with a resistance module on their as well, and usually a nos. Only a bad tank is going to stick around once his hardeners are almost down. MUDFLAPS taught me that to be a good tanker, you always have to move, never sit around. You get in, kill some ****, and bounce, always always move. In the time it takes to charge and fire, most tanks have already healed around 1000 HP, the majority of the damage you just dealt, assuming hardeners are down. Only bad tankers die to anything but concentrated and coordinated prototype AV, and all matches now devolve into who's tank swarm comes out on top. It's stupid, and you are all welcome to it, but I'd rather watch my idiot blueberries die horrific deaths and quit the game than chase around these tanks all game for literally no reason at all. It's not what I signed up for, and I'll have no part of it.
oh I remember MUDFLAPS mcgillicutty (AKA SHTHEAD mcgillicutty), he was my tanking mentor and tanking buddy back in 1.1 and 1.2. he honestly was probably the best tanker in dust. never saw someone better at it then him. |

it is also why jack is known for being a dust university noob instead of a seasoned vet like bob or spkr.

Yea, I never once respected tankers until I rolled around with him for a while and got some pointers on tanking. For the first time in DUST, I actually felt like there were some truly skilled tank drivers. This patch has made it hard to tell who's a good tanker and who's just being lifted by the mechanics. Honestly though, standard tanks are almost close to fine. Swarms, plasma cannons, and AV nades all need a slight buff, tank speed needs to be watched more, and the price point needs to raise a bit. A well fit standard tank should be around 700k to field, a well fit drophip around 500k, and an all militia tank should never ever ever be cheaper than 150k Price is a huge part of the balance issue. It's one thing for rich players to be able to spam vehicles, it's another thing entirely for a day one player to be able to spam vehicles.
yea honestly I hated tanks and tankers till I met him. he showed me how hard it was and what a skilled tanker really was. I was just to ignorant in the past to avoid them and now that I have experience as one, I feel bad for them. they went through a lot of crap till 1.7.
im glad they got the buff but they should nerf down militia tanks a bit so there is a reason to skill into it. what pisses me off is the tanks spam. they need to add separate team vehicle quotas to keep the spam down. limit it to 2-3 tanks per team. and as for the price, they need to bump up militia costs. back in 1.6 I had a tank that costed 2 mill. 170k for 1 tank? hah! |
