With tanks in their current iteration, infantry combat is no longer fun because infantry is totally outclassed in price, longevity, mobility and firepower by HAVs that are not much . I propose that any one of the following suggestions could return the fun to infantry.


1. Buff AV back to 1.6 levels
2. Remove tanks entirely
3. Soften tanks to 1.6 levels, leave the AV nerf
4. Remove ability to stack hardners
5. Remove the large blaster turret
6. Introduce the ability to immobilize tanks
7. Massive tank price increase
8. Require seperate Driver and gunners for tanks
9. Make tanks AI controlled. Bought, fit and called in by infantry controlled by Scotty, with a loose set of instructions given to them when they are called in (atk objective, defend objective, anti vehicle ops or anti infantry ops)
10. Tie all tank active modules to one switch, either all on or all off... this eliminates being able to rotate hardners for constant resistance
11. Some sort of game mode without vehicles

number six is already on it's way.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Tankers got a taste of near-invincibility, and it has corrupted them beyond reason. They are some of the most ignorant, contradictory players, with severe delusions of grandeur. People say taking out tanks should be doable without relying on luck or coincidence, all they hear is that it should be "easy". They say it should require teamwork to take out a tank, but not to drive it, shoot from it, and operate it's systems. They say "just get a tank yourself" even though AV weapons are supposed to be the rock to the scissor of vehicles. The fact is, vehicles were a little weak and/or AV was a little strong before, but now instead of being balanced, they're just pushed the far opposite end of the spectrum. They're too durable, deadly and fast, even in the hands of less skilled drivers, but the tankers think if they all yell loudly and incoherently enough that their ranting will drown out the reasonable requests for actual balance.

tanks are fine but swarms need a range buff!

im not a tanker but even i am getting tired of people b*tching about tanks in the forums

tanks used to be very easy to take out people where wasting between 600k to 1.5mil on tanks for someone with a 7k weapon to take them out i think tanks deserve this break though all the sh*t they been though on this game


though i agree CCP should never have nerved the swarms damage the way they did its over and done with


the fact if people still want to solo tanks which is not gunna happen


so let me get this into your skulls theres something on this game that a few decent corps know about and most dont its called TEAM WORK

2 to 4 people can take a tank easy its not difficult here are a few ways how

a logi can load a LAV full of explosives and drive into the tank there for destroying it its cheap and effective but does require you to lose your own life

have 1 swarm launcher shoot at the tank while he has the tank distracted have someone lay explosives on the road behind it then the other 2 wait for the repairs and hardeners to finish then they swarm the tank causing the driver to panic and drive backwards over the explosives and BOOM its destroyed

of if you find yourself on your own stay inside wait for someone to come and distract the tank and make a run for it there for avoiding tankers all together

its all about using your head to outsmart the tanker granted most of you don't quiet know what a brain is for but some do

stop your whining learn and learn teamwork i promise you your gaming experience is going to be a lot better

so let me get this into your skulls theres something on this game that a few decent corps know about and most dont its called TEAM WORK
