Do you seriously think I'm using tanks because they are a fotm, and not using them because I want to do something different?

Has it crossed your mind that some people used tanks even when they were bad because they enjoy it?

Ass hole...

Me too, I have been tanking since chromosome ffs.

OP, I do come out of my tank sometimes and can still do well in a std bpo scout suit.

It wasn't that tanks were bad. Well, Gunloggis were.

The biggest reason why tanks were getting crapped on in 1.0-1.6 was because of horrible rendering. Because swarms users could be within range and not draw meant that invisible swarms that were doing massive damage were a common sight.

Why would you want the old Maddy back? Slower, lower resists, but with better reps. Sure you could fit more on it, but the single fit requirement was boring.

Jesus nerd, get out in the real world. Go pick a fight in a bar. Join the military. You need a video game to give you that high? Who's the *****?

I felt like you did once. I joined the Marines.

You'd be insulting an awful lot of good guys with that remark. Guys like me that didn't fit the stereotype.

Horrible fit. You would have got rolledeverytime you met some running THE fit.

i had a decent soma fit last biuld 2. was speccing into unlocking madrugar and gunlogi.

after core skills.

my 1.6 mlt tank has roughly the same amount of hp as it does currently.


so tanking itself didnt actually involve much skill at all last build. a skilled pilot would be able to do well at avoiding majority of the av. not dieing. and beating higher tiered and better fitted tanks... i was very good at the first 2. the third though. it mostly played out with whoever had the better fitted tank won. thats how all the tank vs tank matches played out unless the guy driving the better fitted tank sucked completely.

i admit to taking down a few blaster gunlogis last build with my soma. but that was mostly because they tried to run away after i fired my first few rounds at them.

ive lost plenty of tanks in 1.6 and all the other previous builds. mostly because of av nades being so overpowered 2 vehicles.

i honestly like the new tank changes. im still able to solo most mlt vehicles vastly the same way i did back in 1.6. by chucking 3 std av nades and finishing the vehicle off with my adv swarms. i cant say the same for std tanks though currently seeing as to how they are 30-40% better than mlt anyways.

Sounds like you didn't tank at all last build.

You couldn't see infantry past 50m, you couldn't avoid AV, since swarms were auto locking, high DPS, and 400m lock range...

Tanking last build required skill, now you just sit their and take AV, practically pissing yourself laughing as you do it, all the while you just wait for the moment to activate a 30% damage module and open up with you railgun.

No variation in tanking now, less skill, less over all fun.

lolthosefits.
I kill a lot of them. You'll only kill with that if the tanker is an idiot or has already slayed like two others running the exact same fit.

Mate, there are plenty of idiots driving tanks right now, doesn't matter if they're driving Standard or Militia, plenty of players have spec'd in to the FOTM, and will disappear once we get nerfed (and end up getting 3 shotted by AV nades again, sigh..). These players are awful and die quickly. I mean if you're running a blaster and you're on an open road and you see a Proto cannon with a damage mod on aiming at you, you do not rush forward, I've had several players do that. xD

I would blame certain tankers, but also the vast horde of infantry who refused to even discuss anything about the OP av of the time.

What is funny is that you complain about not wanting to spec into a forge and a fat suit to deal with tanks, but I as a vehicle driver had to spec into a dropsuit, a sniper rifle, and a whole host of supporting skills so that I could get people off of rooftops before 1.7.

Did I cry about it? Nope, I just dumped 4 million SP into countering my counter. Did I want to do it? Of course not, who wants to be a scrub sniper? But the game gave me no choice, so I adapted.

Now you can continue blaming everyone else, and trying to act high and mighty. Because you could never be part of the problem at all could you?

Yet you blame people that obviously had nothing to do with it either. The only party that could rightly be faulted is CCP.

Tankers were willing to engage with CCP while the medium frame AV'ers insisted everything was fine. Tankers knew the data would back them up, it did, and changes were made.

If those people who had resisted so hard seen the winds of change and taken an active role in the discussion, the nerf would probably not been so severe.

The main difference between your campaign and those that came before it was that we had no partner in dialogue, and so debate was impossible. You have many willing to enter into discussion with you, but not once have you presented any sort of detailed idea of how you think AV should be.

Do you have any idea of what sort of buffs or nerfs to tanks or AV you want? Or is everything just a blob of nerf tanks and buff AV?

I amuse myself with your posts, but I am keenly aware that you are not a rational actor, and clearly have no intention of providing meaningful feedback.

Your posts are all emotion, no substance.
