So, once every thread in General Discussion was about tanks. The vast majority of players hate them and b*tched loud & proud about them.
Now... not so much. Granted the new suits are a good attention stealer but I think its reduced in discussion for two reasons:
1. Everyone has a tank now. They aren't exclusive anymore, so people can join in the tank spam if they want.
2. People stopped playing ambush, where tanks are still overbearing. I know I never play Ambush anymore, when before it was all I played.
That's a major morph in the playerbase in just 4 weeks...

For the most part those new tankers absolutely suck.

I just started collecting tank parts from the ones I blew up lol! Everyone complains about the tankspam, and it is bad. But where you see yourself being surrounded, I see a target rich environment ::) I play ambush, and sent any tank that isn't A-1 on his/her game to the scrap heap! I complained. I endured. I learned. I now am hated by tankers! I took a nerfed set of weapons, and spec'd into them to make them feared!

Nothing is new under the sun. They did the same thing with ARs. Once the sheen of a new toy wears off, and tankers who are not skilled gets killed off more, things return somewhat back to normal.
It's amazing though, because of tanks, people wanted redlines removed and vehicle recall changed.

No, those were just PorkBarreling complaints. They just saw tanks as a convenient excuse to append their other complaints to.

I like it when MLTs join the spam if the map is large enough and they aren't all rails. Free 2HKOs. Nothing like parking on a hill and taking out 4 MLTs in one clip of railgun ammo. 0 SP MLTs do not do much to stop good tank squads. Blaster MLTs are laughably easy to kill with anything above MLT and rail MLTs either have high damage or defense, but not both at the same time effectively.
I find there are enough decent enemy STD tanks now that I'm running rails most of the time, so not much for enemy infantry to QQ about. I'm seeing a lot more rails and even LP turrets. I popped some guy multiple times and he pulled a full LP Gunnlogi + Particle Cannon set worth 1600 LP. Ambush is still absolutely horrible, though. Tank squads still wreck, but the higher amount of rails and forges make it harder for one tank to dominate.
I'd like some changes, still, but it feels like less of a tank rampage as when 1.7 just dropped.
Many suits I've worn, many burdens I've borne, for the oaths I've sworn.

CCP admitted the problems. Working on a fix. Things like this are done to stress test new stuff anyway due to no test server.
Problem will be solved.

That's not the only reason to ditch the redline. It's a bad game mechanic that gives players incentive to grind out matches sniping.
Safe spawn zones should be surrounded by bottlenecks, and if well designed, would be great battle sites. |

1. Buff AV so the millions of SP the lad spent isn't spit on back in their face by CCP
2. Bring expensive proto tanks that can go toe to toe with the buffed AV but that cost millions so they cant be used to spam in ambush. Without the sagaris every chap can spend 2 mil SP and get a tank.......and they keep all their fancy infantry stuff. Bullsh*t. Tank veterans have no place in LOLDUST. If they did we would see high SP high ISK cost proto tanks.
3. milita tanks are bull. Buff AV. No militia crap should be owning proto AV. WTF?!
4. CCP hires monkeys to balance test their sh*t
