I've created a poll loosely based on this thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=130495&find=unread
As the title of the thread implies, I'm curious as to what people think would be the best thing for the game in regards to tank vs infantry.
You can vote for multiple options - even all of the options, but you can only vote once. The last option essentially would keep things as they are. Feel free to discuss.

i thought hard about adding that, but it didn't seem to be a popular topic in the thread, so I left it out.

Yeah, maybe I should have. My biggest issue with paying a high price is that people think its ok to pay to win. I think thats a poor excuse to be OP.

* Breaking tanks involved tweaking dozens of variables. * Can fixing tanks be accomplished by changing only one?
Not trolling. Your thoughts?
I think that to achieve balance you should take baby steps with different variables but only adjusting one variable at a time and then looking at the net effect. That didn't happen with 1.7. And personally I think that was a big mistake.
For instance, it seems the most popular option right now is to buff AV weapons. That's fine, but if this is done, you must look at how it affects not just tanks, but LAVs and dropships as well. They may require adjusting as well after a change is made.

shield tanks feel really good right now armor may be OP but I don't really know because I don't use it.
I feel that the blaster is too effective against infantry. lower the fire rate give it a higher direct damage and slightly larger splash. that way it is more effective against vehicles and installs but requires a greater accuracy to hit infantry. (it would still be "most effective" but it would be over all less effective).
make tanks more expensive, seriously just do it.
MLT tanks are a little too effective so a slight nerf is probably in order.
tank spam, tanks can't hack, so in objective based gametypes (skrim/dom) the team that tank spams often loses. base the payout more on a win or loss and people will stop spamming because it isn't profitable. in ambush I fully support a lower vehicle cap (not removing vehicle all together) I think limiting it to 2 tanks 3 LAVs and 2 dropships per team would be a fine and well balanced solution.
there is no single option that would make everyone happy. What I'd like to see is CCP make their own poll which actually lists the options they are willing to incorporate. Similar to what they did when they were making changes to the SP system. We wanted rollover sp, they weren't able to do it any time soon, so they gave us some options and we chose the current system. Not everyone was happy, but it was better than what we had.

Yes the low cost = excessive tank spam but if AV was actually effective like it was with proto swarms being able to one and two hit militia tanks that'd be the end of it. Then I'm sure we'd all hear more cries from the tanking community about nerfing AV cause "it just does way too much damage".
it looks like people agree with you. AV buff is in the lead. I'm surprised though because everytime it gets mentioned in the forums it gets shot down quick.
