Are you willing to spawn in continuously with proto suits just to die instantly? If not, you're a hypocrite. If you claim "yes because my team would never be redlined" that is also hypocritical speech, because you are trying to employ action on a region of the game you believe you will never have interaction with, therefore you would have no say in such. Tanks deployed by those without any skills into them are incredibly easy to destroy. Just admit you are too damn lazy to actually try. I can also see you've never driven a tank before, because if you try to recall a tank while it's under enough fire to threaten it, it will be blown up. I'm sorry that you lack the capacity to imagine a world without the redline, it must be hard for you to get out of bed in the morning. I'm not even going to justify this with an actual response.

Denn Maell PIanet Express Canis Eliminatus Operatives 66	Posted - 2014.01.15 04:54:00 - [39] - Quote It might be a little less about Tanks being broken (or OP) seeing as we haven't yet seen a 'Heavy Dropship' yet. I with Dropships being troop transports it might be a bit much to expect them to fight a Tank under these circumstances. Also, we don't have an 'Anti-Shield' turret or heavy weapon yet so shielded vehicles might do better today. Now I really want to see a Heavy Drop ShipGÇª The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.

There are some dropships, where I can fire my whole clip at them, and they're still up there. Fouxhound, you sound like you're just bitter because your python with 2xdamage mods(?) isnt surviving very long when there are tanks around he is not bitter about his dropship getting shot down by a railtank. he is bitter about a REDLINE railtank doing this with complete immunity.

Tanks need to be fixed, because all it takes is one tank on a hill to ruin a game.. how do you think I feel when there's a squad of six? Ya that's true. Since SI fell apart i've been solo. Another reason to make tanks a 2 man crew...which I advocated then and still do. Gunner guns Driver drives and uses mods. If a solo player wants to rail snipe, lock his tank so if he wants to pull back off a hill he has to switch positions to move and turn hardeners on.

If a solo player wants to rail snipe, lock his tank so if he wants to pull back off a hill he has to switch positions to move and turn hardeners on. I've advocated this approach as well but adding the lock is a nice touch. Give the main gunner seat control over any damage amplifiers too. I think the driver should have the small front turret to score some infantry kills with. // Venge Captain // Matari Logistics / Scout / Pilot // @ReesNoturana

You trade those slots for speed and menuverability. If you got shot down by a railgun, either you were not taking advantage of that speed, or you have a really good rail tanker that can hit a moving target from 600m away. 98% of redline railtankers can hit fast moving targets 600 Meters away, I have found. Mainly because a lot of those redline railgun tankers have been taking advantage of this faulty mechanic for months & months & months, and so they know exactly where to shoot no matter what.

Fouxhound, you sound like you're just bitter because your python with 2xdamage mods(?) isnt surviving very long when there are tanks around Unless you're using a militia railgun, you're completely talking out of your ass. The max HP a Python can have with complex shield modules is around 2,500-2,800 (with 1 heavy complex extender) and its armor is around 1,000 (if you have a armor plate). Even with these precautions in mind, and everything being a complex module, redline railgun tankers can take me down in 1-2 shots, militia seems to be about 3. An entire clip is completely ridiculous unless you were dealing with a fully tanked, low damage incubus.
