why is everyone so upset about tanks??
a rail tank is anti tank.. modern day equivalent would be a M1A2, merkavah, challenger 2 etc. A tank designed to kill other tanks and vehicles in the plus 2 km range. the modern day ones use 100-130mm cannons that are insanely accurate to long range
a blaster tank is anti light vehicle and infantry.. modern day equivalent would be a coyote, stryker and Bradley to mention a few. the modern day equivalent uses 20-30 mm chain guns and tear up light vehicles and infantry.
the blaster tank is currently filling the role of the soonTM to be releases medium assault vehicles that will then take over the APC/light infantry fighting vehicle. At that time the blasters will probably be changed so they function more like heavier light tanks.. in the 40-60 mm chain guns/recoilless rifles variants
until all vehicles for all races are added there will be a need for lighter damage tanks that can get in and skirmish then hit the gas pedal and GTFO before the tank killing rail tanks get a bead. the same is for everything in the game.. as new content is added old content will be repurposed for more specific roles.. tanks will be used to kill all other vehicles, medium vehicles will take on lavs and infantry, lavs will be jihad jeeps and used to suicide other vehicles or rapid ground movement. in the air drop ships will act as modern day helicopters do now.. troop transport, future ones may even fill the role as anti vehicle role (think apache, HIND and cobras). fighters will be for killing other air ships, fighter bombers for taking out fixed targets and bomb runs on objectives. hell they might even make a AC-130 style area suppression infantry support air vehicle that has a rail cannon and some medium blasters( 20 mm Vulcan cannons and or 30/40 mm bofors cannon variants)
the game is a military style fps shooter with ties into eve.. ( ohh yeah don't forget eve with its 1200mm and 1400 artillery cannons.. think bullets the size of cars raining down from space) we all have to stop thinking small.. eve is about big things.. ships the size of cities big. so learn and adapt and find ways to survive.. because war is hell... all you can do is survive |
