Wait, let me answer for you, you only want there to be blasters so you can be effective against tanks -and- infantry without actually having to fear other tanks as much.

(This is a mildly self congratulatory post, I've officially taken out over 100 Gunnlogis and Madrugars since the patch with countless Sicas and Somas between Big smile

)

Personally, I don't mind Sicas being able to take me out, the thing that bugs me is the fact that it's so cheap compared to other AV options and then tanks themselves, I can get a sica with dual damage mods and I don't think it'll even cost me 100k, you'd have to lose 5 of those to get near the cost of my tank. I know people like to say ISK isn't a balancing factor, it still leaves me a little bitter.

Apart from that, any other tanks complaining are just bads and are complaining for the sake of complaining, and will only be happy when they can stomp without fear. Also, I don't believe a tank should be the only way, I believe LAVs should be able to kill us much the same as a scout can kill a heavy, it should take stealth, skill and some balls, but it should be possible (and looking at the numbers from a proto rail LAV, it might even be possible :D ), Infantry should also kill us, just not stupidly easy like previously.

I mean, the worst moment I've ever experienced was being a tanker in a Seraphim protostomp squad, someone mentioned an enemy tank, and I rub my hands together because Tank v Tank is fun, not a minute later crorat1 is on comms and just says "Done.", he tossed 3 Lai Dai AVs and was done with it. My entire playstyle felt useless and just became unenjoyable.

I can't bring myself to be mad at any of you guys. The tank spam was the final push for me to spec into tanks with STD modules and turrets. I can take on most decent tankers, but if the SP gap is too wide, I'll get wrecked. +1 for damage control. I'll run rails with you if I see you around in game. Dead on the ground.... Think I made a wrong turn :/

And before you say i'm a bad tanker, i'm not. I've got the tactical mind to realise that there's a supply depot there, so don't hang around long, just pop in and squeeze out. However YOLO av nades were instakills THROUGH 2 hardeners, WITH max reps active, AND a damage control if possible. Now, i have a chance to leave your AV's range before you drop me. If you do? It's 2 matches' investments, just run my MLT fits and save up until my next PROTO rail gunny can come out(i don't redline rail unless the enemy has 3-4 tanks on the field, and i solo them 1 by 1, then assert my dominance) If you manage to kill me, it's due to you having my fits' best counter, OR outsmarting me, OR both. No more of this 'can't non-redline snipe, because YOLO forgies will 2 shot me, can't frontline, because YOLO nades, yknow what? Can't do either cuz there's above MLT swarms on the field' Under 28db Officially nerfproof (predicting CR nerf February '14) I have a God, His name is Dakka.

My entire playstyle felt useless and just became unenjoyable. pretty much the way i feel, i split my time between infantry and vehicles as much as i can but when it comes down to tank vs tank warfare i'll drop infantry and bring the pain to enemy tanks hoping for an easy fight and mostly it is blaster tanks which drop pretty easy and fast. sure rail could be changed to have an arc so it takes some skill to use otherwise i don't mind MLT rail tanks taking out other tanks, even mine from time to time.

It had people in a match try that with me. I claimed 6 tanks, 3 dropships, and 2 sniped heavies. Only had one match so far where I felt I was actually going against someone decent when I lost 4 sicas, but still cost the other team 2 somas, a madrugar, and a gunnlogi. The gunnlogi was the one that was tough, took him out once, but he kept getting me after that while my modules were down after I finished off his tank buddies one by one. Everyone else falls.

I also love how militia tanks which take ZERO SP and are cheap as hell are a better counter than PROTO AV which takes tons of SP and is not cheap. For the love of New Eden CCP, please increase the cost of militia tanks by at least a factor of 4. Hopefully that will discourage tank scrubs from endlessly spamming tanks all game long. But please don't nerf militia tanks, they still need to be an effective counter to other tanks since, oh yeah, AV IS BUSTED!!!
Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 921	Posted - 2013.12.22 13:11:00 - [22] - Quote I'm waiting to get my shield tanker up to Gunnlogi again since recreating him. The only difference in mil and standard tanks is how long you can keep them out in the open due to only two high slots. This is in keeping with the "waves of opportunity" CCP mentioned. It makes sense. The power of a tank ultimately comes from how long and constant they can stay out and about with actives on. Otherwise, most usefulness got worked into the skills. As it should be. Wish snipers would get more of this treatment. Only the big investment in skills gets you the power. Do your part. Join the revolution. Sabotage FW. Help this game burn! BURN DUST 2014

I can deal with that since I usually don't find many good tankers.
