Now the only find I find OP on tanks are hardeners.

The rest is just AV stupidity-
I use a Soma with no hardeners whatsoever- it has a BPO heavy rep, a BPO light rep, a basic fuel injector, mCRU, and 2 mlt 20gj blasters (blueberries are more helpful than you would think)
In that fit, I survived an orbital and several swarm clips.

For the orbital, I just stayed right where I was- sitting under pipes. I went down to 400 armor, but I still survived.
For the swarms, I just moved behind a pillar, and watched while the AVers fired volley after volley at me, even though everything was hitting the pillar and not me.

The stacking penalty for active modules needs to be much harsher, and AVers need some way to get WP without destroying a vehicle- they're VERY effective area-denial, after all.

Last time, I was one of those "not going to stoop to their level" guys. I just stuck in the buildings as a shotgun scout, and avoided the HAV spam altogether. And I regretted it. Up until today, I haven't realistically taken part on one of those huge tank battles that pops up now. We've already made it very clear to CCP that HAVs are currently broken. So while they change that (and I guarantee you they will), just sit back, relax, call in a MLT HAV, and join the chaos. It IS pretty fun We used to have a time machine

DeathwindRising ROGUE SPADES 155	Posted - 2013.12.23 21:18:00 - [8] - Quote mlt railgun tanks redline sniping can be annoying... but then theyre not hacking or slaughtering troops either. blasters though... decrease the heat cool down and increase overheat duration. in return we need the heat sink modules back. missiles are fine. railguns... well nobody likes getting sniped, but i think there ok. just need to be more careful when theyre on the field and maybe decrease theyre tracking, so the absolutely suck up close. if we get those things done then, blasters will still be great against troops but suck against vehicles and installations. railguns will still be great at long range vehicle combat, but will suck against troops and vehicles up close. missiles are fine. just waiting for medium launchers now. PS. if small missiles blast radius is 2.5m and large missiles are 1.5, will mediums be 2m? will the launchers have 10 missiles per clip? and medium rof? i might like those :D

Sure, I get more kills, but the infantry will QQ harder and will get tanks nerfed for EVERYONE. It's only the militia HAVs that need nerfing. They get too much power for 0 SP.

Lynn Beck Granite Mercenary Division Top Men. 395	Posted - 2013.12.23 22:25:00 - [13] - Quote We need to stop referring to the blaster as 'anti infantry only' It's the only gallente turret. The rail has splash damage, so to enforce it's 'anti tank' role we should remove ALL splash from rails? Small rails have splash as well, let's nerf it. /sarcasm end We need to stop lookin at this game like a bunch of dicklords and deeming anything that isn't instakillable as Op. Blasters are the CQC shield biased DPS machine. Rails are your long distance 'sniper' weapons, that are seriously -disadvantaged- in CQC, but doesn't mean you can't DIRECT HIT a few infantry, or use your flaylock level splash to pester people in cover.

Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 257	Posted - 2013.12.23 22:28:00 - [14] - Quote I wouldn't say they're broken. I remember when we had no redline to speak of, and our missle tanks would just camp under the enemy MCC and shoot guys as they jumped out. We could then pop up over the hill and snipe guys across the map with that same missile turret - it was OP. I think AV needs a bit of a buff - that's all it will take to thin the tank herd. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

We have always had a red line you dumb ****. I'm not sure sure if the attackers in skirmish 1.0 had one (I was literally always an attacker for some odd reason), and after that, the redline was either MUCH farther back or nonexistent. I remember people just sitting under the MCC with HMGs and tanks. We used to have a time machine
