Tanks prices are the problem. There too good for there cost.

Increase prices so when i work to kill one, he can't afford to call in 3 more.

As it is now, instead you'll pop him, but he'll deploy 50 more. I do it all the time. It doesn't matter how much I die. Usually, a group of MLTs will pop my AP HAV. Then I pull out my AV HAV and pop all of them, redeploy as AP HAV, go on my merry way. My current asset level is still 3m higher than last week including alts and tank stocks.

Either way, everyone is screwed, because the price is not the only problem. MLT tanks are also not the only problem in terms of strength; I pop them all day long. A good AV tank can wipe 3-4 MLTs in minutes. Sure, I get killed by them occasionally. I still pop five times more of them than they do of me. I 2HKO Sicas before than can even harden and Somas are a 3HKO with my cheap AV Madrugar. One FW, two MLTs are going around to flank, I catch them at the side, blow them up in a 2v1, continue and pop another on a hill, pop 3 more throughout the match. However, once the Ion Cannons are deployed, you're screwed. Those things shred infantry 200m out along with the majority of HAVs that aren't other Ion Cannons or specially tailored for burst defense and offense. With the sheer power of current tanks, tanks needs to be cheap enough just to shred other tanks, otherwise everyone goes negative because one guy pulled out a Madrugar. The price needs to rise and then, in addition, Swarm Launchers and AV Grenades need to be buffed in damage so that you need less tanks to fight tanks.

EDIT: Also, obviously, certain things such as stacked hardeners and blaster range need to be looked at.

There is a reason why titans were nerfed pretty hard, because people like you thought the isk amount would prevent spammage. Do you know what happened? BoB just spammed doomsdays leveling entire fleets, and built tones of them.

Then the titan got nerfed and the supercarrier became the new FotM. Everyone and their mother got supercarriers as well because they were solopwn mobiles. Supercarriers got nerfed too.

I think everyone, including most tankers, want tanks in the game and I like that there are between 4-8 tanks per match. I just don't like how they have no hard counter.

1 player should ALWAYS be counterable by 1 player. This is the basis of balance.

It makes it less spammable for the majority of the population. Other changes also need to be made to balance things out.

ISK needs to be part of the solution. You are using a strawman argument to defend keeping prices low. Yes, there are some players that can still afford spamming more expensive vehicles. Let me extend the line for you.

Tanks are now all free and fully fitted, placed in every player's fittings. Has spam improved? Just because some players can afford to do it anyway doesn't mean everyone should be able to spam them. No ****. There are players with enough money to spam anything. There will always be some aspects of Dust that are pay to win.

If prototype gear was free, you'd say it shouldn't be made expensive because there would still be players spamming it. If you don't like the resource management in Dust 514, then it's not the game for you, plain and simple. Some degree of accessibility needs to be removed, because the ultimate accessibility is free which leads to endless spam with no repercussions for ANYONE.

You may be the only person denying the under powered nature of swarms. They lost damage AND range.

Also this Light weapon BS is a rumor created and perpetuated by the playerbase(tankers actually). Not the developers.

Finally, you really quoted my post to talk about a small parenthesis I added about a neutered weapon? I don't use the swarm. I don't have a single point in them, but I can at least acknowledge they suck right now.

This is just wrong. Standard tanks are already MUCH better than militia. This idea that the"problem" is just with militia tanks is not correct. OH and to go from militia tanks to standard tanks cost what, 100k sp?

The problem is the av balance with tanks.
