Tanks aren't a problem in PC. While the infantry do their things, tanks are constantly engaged in a chess match if you will in an effort to eliminate the other tanks from the field. They push objectives, defend them, and require teamwork to take down-which is how it should be. The only thing that kills high ehp fits are other tanks. The powerhouse tanks like bob runs that have little resist die up close to forges, so you may never see them if they are in your match. Blaster tanks can be nasty, but that's what high ehp rails and missiles are for.

TL;DR
bring your own tanks to the fight and you won't have to deal with enemy tanks

u used to see me, but then u started to spam rails. Big smile

even EHP tanks hide since all PC is whoever has the mt rails to deal with enemy tanks XD.

right now i have to hide and come out of nowhere and KAPOW!

Yup. Are you coming out of your temporary retirement yet? I wanted to be in the match tonight, but had some stuff to do QQ. Might want to be careful burning out there Bob.

i already said i would be back on monday. it's in one of my other threads. Smile

TechMechMeds Swamp Tempo 2184	Posted - 2014.01.17 23:55:00 - [1] - Quote Iv not done pc for a few months so rather than post in general, I thought I'd come here to maybe back up mine and swamps view on tanks and I'll keep it short. Scenario 1 - tanks are on the field, we CBA to blow them up so we just ignore them, maybe once or twice I/we get mown down, Boohoo, we accept the mow down. Scenario 2 - Dumb fks either try to solo and get buggered or even worse, they try to solo when the hardeners are active, same result. (No one in swamp is dumb enough to do that unless we are high) Scenario 3 - two of us get av fits, we keep our distance and then once the tanks hardeners are on cool down we pop it, or die but sht happens. Scenario 4 - forge guns, enough said. So we believe 1 and 2 is what half these nubs are doing and whining about, because they are fking up and don't actually realise they are doing so, where as people executing scenarios 3 and 4 have no problems, we know because we do them regularly. So I'm asking pc active players, are these people that are whining just nubs that want it easy. For the sake of simplicity I left out other scenarios, some don't even need to be said really, proxy's, jihad Jeeps, rail tanks etc. Are tanks 'op' in pc? Because we doubt it. I can imagine tank spam is op but spamming anything is op. Iv just had enough of the tanks are op spam, ccp even stated that tanks will be balanced over time and I'm not seeing much feedback, just whining. Level 2 forum warrior. Minmatar and Gallente fw.

Rail tank is the most efficient. forges on roofs are still a pain but only for blaster tanks as rails normally aren't near them. Main - BobThe843CakeMan Ringing for PC for a price, msg for details.

8213 0uter.Heaven Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 1356	Posted - 2014.01.18 00:58:00 - [14] - Quote In pubs, people spam tanks and don't go for the objectives. They don't care if they win or lose, they just want to spam as many tanks as they can. In PC, winning matters. You're not going to win a game by tank spamming in PC, because tanks can't hack objectives or even give cover fire to most objectives. Fish in a bucket!

So the main task of a pilot is to neutralize other pilots as much as possible. If you want to use AV specialists they will take time and guns out of your team.

Please explain how stating that letting vehicles run about uncontested is bad isn't obvious, the op was relevant to fw and pubs, obviously in pc you can't simply ignore vehicles and scenarios 1 and 2 are what you shouldn't do, as I stated.

Charlotte O'Dell Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 1657	Posted - 2014.01.19 21:42:00 - [30] - Quote Well, tanks are working great in PC. The objective in PC is to keep objectives and tanks can't do that. Blaster tanks hold open ground and harass infantry. Rails and Missiles kill blaster tanks. Any team without tanks loses. Any team with too many tanks loses. It's about finding the sweet spot. Charlotte O'Dell is the highest level unicorn!
