I just think it Rails don't need ADV or PRO versions.

Also I've heard vehicle damage amps don't have stacking penalties... I've never used them on a tank, so I wouldn't know.

I somewhat disagree on the rail tank. Needs falloff.

Also being able to two shot any other tank is probably frustrating to the people I shoot and I dont even have prototype rails or complex damage mods (only basic)

How are people getting that kind of damage? My proto rail + damage mod doesn't two shot anyone.

Fall off range is fair. Nerfs Redline Snipers without hurting the mid range brawlers.

90 percent balanced.

Jack up the price, reduce acceleration, bam. Tank 514 is everything it needs to be. I don't even think AV needs a buff until higher tier tanks are introduced.

Double hardened gunnlogi can tank two volleys of missiles and be fully restored by the time they reload the third. I'm surprised your extensive experience didn't teach you that.

wow, a double hardened gunlogi can tank it yes, but it either has horrible DPS because it has no dmg mod and it is a stalemate and we both withdraw, or it has no shield booster and it WONT regen before i reload and it is a DPS race.

I have been in those fights.

I only lose about 3 tanks a day, mostly my fault. I do think tanks are fine, just triple prices and boom. Can't wait to use an 8 million isk proto tank!

So just to keep it straight

When you first started tanking you'd lose a tank a match, usually to other tanks, and that seemed fair to you? Imagine if a noob with militia AV could go 5-2,7-1 and really only die to snipers. Pretty sure that's terrible balance

Vehicles aren't going proto.... Or at least that what the DEVS have implied as of late.

They're probably getting hull variants with different bonuses, like the different scout classes get different bonuses etc..
Possibly things like, an extra slot for sacrificing 500 shield and 500 armor... or something like that.
Or a variety that has faster acceleration... or reload speed for a single type of weapon system. Variants, not Protos.

hahaha i just read your title:

Tanks are 100% balanced right now


and came to laugh a little.

look at me , here i go...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Or maybe not increasing damage with higher tier but better fitting requirements or better tracking or better range and make militia rails have 350-400m range.

I think the fitting requirements should be reversed, the higher the tier the easier to fit. That way MLT tanks and gear would be harder to fit and encourage people to skill into vehicles rather then stop once they can fit their MLT tank.

I'm serious. After starting up another alt back in 1.7 and playing him exclusively on tanks I can say that these things are balanced as hell.

I started out in Militia tanks and would lose enough tanks that I would have to run free suits for a few matches to get enough ISK for a few more tanks. I was losing 2 to 3 per match. After I got good enough i would lose a militia tank once every other match on average running rail tanks. Against infantry I wouldn't get THAT many kills. I would go 5/0 or 7/2 for example. I would get shot up by other rail tanks or sometimes a skilled blaster tank every so often but a rail tank isn't that effective against infantry. A/V would sometimes kill me. Swarms would only if they were coordinated (I think they must be poor versus shield tanks) but Forges make me run most of the time. A/V nades can be deadly as any suit can carry them without losing much effectiveness against other suits. If I would get swarmed but a bunch of red dots A/V nades can kill me.

The one thing i thing needs tweaking is TTK against other tanks. Rails are 2 gud and most of the time don't even give me or my enemy enough time to react and turn on our hardener(s).

Blasters are pretty balanced as they aren't as effective as rails against tanks but they tear infantry up.

Missile tanks - OMG! I just unlocked these as the skill requirements are the highest. THESE ARE BORDERLINE BROKEN! I can rush ANY other tank with a single hardener and I WILL kill it in one rack of missiles when I activate my militia damage mod (still haven't unlocked higher tier damage mods) No wonder I feared them so much when I saw one before! They kill infantry about as well as a rail tank and do not have the sniping damage, so i dunno maybe they are balanced, but holy crap they have the highest burst DPS out of any other turret against installations or vehicles.

I now lose a tank about every 3 matches or so by playing carefully and knowing who I am playing against. When I am against full squads from other good teams I sometimes stick to milita tanks because I know I will lose a few.

I don't see the issue with these things except the TTK with rails is a bit too low considering the range they have.
