And for the record I'm very happy tanks finally got looked at, and a buff. However, I do not think CCP got it right and they went a little too far with the buff to tanks survivability through hardeners, improved speed, reduced price, allowing 6 tanks to be called in per side... all along with the nerf to AV (and keeping the recall feature in the game).

Needs tweaking (like Big Poppa's nipples) you protostomper you.. so silly

Im not boasting, i nevet said it was easy. its hard work to take out a tank but thsts what i find enjoyable. think you guys seem to be compaining more about maybe the matchmaking system than tanks in general?

Just not arsed mate. I must of hit a nerve somewhere, can't understand why you want to have such a heated debate why I have fun with the game right now and you don't... I know it must be tough to comprehend someone else has a different opinion than you. Though you do sound a bit simple.

Don't really know what post your on about... Wow such idiots replying to this thread. All I said was I was happy with tanks in 1.7, it's been something I've been hoping they would be like and I've supported the buff tanks threads before 1.7. Being mainly AV I was bored with killing vehicles. It was too easy before.

Don't worry il keep my proto gear that I earned and I'm surprised you haven't left the game already then?

So your saying that I should be able to simply buy an advantage by using a vehicle?

Man, that actually doesn't sound like a bad idea right about now.. Using gear that gives me the power of 3.

Why I'm sure that everyone had lots of fun when the Logistics class had the power of 3. Right?

1=1. Not 1=3.

Please. If you are going to pretend as if you speak for the Anti-Vehicle community, at least learn basic math skills.

Atiim is jelly bc he sucks at killing tanks and other people dont.

But that where the fun is. Coordinating with 2 other guys to take out a tank in a matter of seconds, getting a rush of adrenalin as u help to deal the final blows. Working as a team is a bit more satisfying than being a lone wolf.

The issue is that we have people paying and skilling into proto AV, and going against standard vehicles. Before, it was tipped towards the AV side, and vehicle pilots rightly complained about it, since they didn't have proto vehicles to skill in in order to tank proto AV. Now it's tipped too far in the other direction, with standard vehicles able to take the hits from proto AV, especially swarms, and keep on chugging.

CCP would never do it, but I would remove advanced and proto AV, then buff standard AV to proto levels and militia AV to advanced levels. Have standard variants of AV as well. Then once they add in advanced and proto vehicles, they can add advanced and proto AV back into the game at a suitable power level.

Being in a tank isn't too much fun though, almost every fight I have been in has been Vs a Rail Stacking Damage Mods, shooting from a mounatin or redline.

I just want to have intense 1v1 Blaster fights again.

What the AWESOME

I agree with you that you originally just posted your experience with AV and your opinion. There is really nothing to argue about with that. Some people eat liver and think it is good, arguing with them doesn't change their mind and their opinion is as valid as mine. In subsequent posts though you seem to argue that tanks are balanced and the sole problem is AV incompetency, which is still an opinion, but of a different nature, one which directly challenges other people, the difference between "I like liver" and "those who don't like liver are stupid". Your experience is not the same as the majority of Dust players. You play with a full squad running proto gear, and a dropship and/or tanks probably from what I've seen of RE. (Whether doing that in pubs is cool or douchey is a different topic). Balance would mean you would be able to take out tanks running in organized squads with top tier equipment, and us lowly noob scrubs could take out MLT tanks, that is not the case.
