lolno

With my blaster tank i have to reload 2-3 times in a really good game, if they get redlined then no not as much but if i tank fight i go through it quicker

Ammo limits are fine and are just about right

Infantry cried for ammo limits and we have them and now infantry want an even bigger restriction, i dont think you will be happy until we have 1 round

Boohooo, I have to resupply my tank 3 times a match!

The fact that I see tanks destroying supply depots freely speaks volumes of how much they care Roll

In the time it takes you to run out of ONE blaster clip, my Assault Rifle runs out of ammo completely.

I cant reach half the supply depots and need to be touching them to get ammo

Course your AR runs out, im in a tank with a massive cargohold you idiot, its 20x bigger than you are so its going to have more space

Taka, you have the same range as infantry with supply depots, so I don't understand your "touching them" argument.
Also, it doesn't matter if it makes sense, if it's broken balance wise it's broken.
The other option would be to reduce damage, ROF etc' to pre 1.7 numbers, because ammo is NOT a limiting factor for blasters and rails.

Taka, here are the rules to dealing with you.
If talking about tanks:
Overpowered = HOLYSHITBALLZOVERPOWERED
ok = Overpowered
Underpowered = ok

Depot up on the wall, my tank is next to the wall but i dont get any ammo even tho its 1m above my tank

Depot is up on a staircase, hav cant climb stairs

Reduce damage for what? rails is a large FG so lolno because it requires a tank to use and alot more PG/CPU, blaster is a large AR for AR514 so no not needed

Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

I've had to reload my Large Blaster several times a match while testing it, and while Large Missiles wreck armor tanked vehicles, their ammo is rather limited as well when their fire rate is taken into account.

My experience comes from rails and blasters. Edit 2: Absolutely zero skills into large turrets, I don't have anything to increase my ammo reserve. Agreed, but first they need to have supply depots accessible in every map. Nuff Said

ANON Cerberus Tiny Toons 3	Posted - 2014.01.06 15:09:00 - [22] - Quote As a tanker I can agree that possibly there is room for tweaking in tank ammo stockpiles however I wouldn't say by too much. Maybe militia tanks and basic tanks should start off with 10-20% less ammo perhaps. The thing is I can't in good conscience agree to any tank ammo changes before we address the issue of supply depots. On some maps there are none that a HAV can get to. So you end up just having to call in a second tank.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1817	Posted - 2014.01.06 17:09:00 - [25] - Quote Maybe ammo isn't the whole problem, but engagement window absolutely. I want tanks to be invincible with hardeners on and such...or I want tanks to be able to retreat quickly without them. But right now they're just able to sit there taking swarm after swarm, forge after forge for minutes at a time. Also, you should mention something about buffing the ammo packs while nerfing the ammo amount. If tanks want to have a larger engagement window they should have to use an ammo pack. I think right now they increase ammo by like 20% (that could be just the militia modules). Instead, the railgun ammo should be decreased to only 2-3 reloads (9 at the start, with 18-27 reserve ammo, half/a third as much as they do now). The ammo packs at basic level should then be something like 50% ammo increase, with prototype ones giving 100%. ARs only have like 3-4 reloads, don't see why tanks should have 6 (54 rounds).
