Quote:Though I disagree with Spkr and agree with Tebu that it's more or less the railguns that are too powerful. They are the counter for everything. I want there to be more thought going into vehicle based AV: take a missile tank and destroy that rail tank at CQC (regardless if it's shield or not) or snipe that enemy tank at range with a railgun (it's intended use). Right now railguns win 80% of the time at CQC.
Speaking as a semi militia tanker.....
The only reason I use railgun militia tanks is in a AV role because things I used to be able to use before, I simply cannot.
Strictly speaking in a militia vs militia role, if I do win vs a blaster, I only win by less than 400hp typically. That is if we open fire at the same time almost nose to nose, see each other at the same time, etc etc. If I have any range on a blaster tank I will win with more health, obviously since the blaster can't shoot me from that far.
I've beaten some blaster Soma's (Not a tanker, no clue what level they are) but those typically I have to get the first few shots off or else they will beat me.
People with more experience may see something differently, but I see no problem with railgun militia tanks. Also, I tend to think that blaster tanks might be a bit too powerful just in the fact that they are good vs infantry and other tanks. Railguns are primarily AV in my opinion.
I will say the elitism of some tankers astounds me. You sit there saying how you so easily destroy a minimum skilled militia tank with your top of the line fully specced out tank like that takes some kind of skill or something? I also see a number of people dissing militia tanks, and I will admit there are a number of people hopping onto tanks because they are kind of the new FoTM, however:
Have any of you considered that right now, the best way to fight a tank is with another tank?
Have any of you considered that right now, the best way to combat a DS is with another DS or a railgun tank or installation?
Have any of you considered that right now, the best way to win on some maps is to gain air control by keeping the skies clear of dropships and taking out/damaging enemy vehicles as they are called in?
Guess what I have found to be one of the best counters to all of the above?
Railgun tank and railgun installations.
Hmm, what are people wanting nerfed?
Sorry, but you get little to no sympathy from me on this. If you want a railgun installation destroyed, use your own or bring a railgun tank and snipe it out. You've got an entire map to play with and ambush a stationary target. The only reason is you are too lazy. If I, as an unskilled tanker, can do that easily, you can too.
If you want to cry because I shoved my militia tank's railgun up the backside of your tank and let loose, guess what? Have better situational awareness, don't let me sneak a tank up behind you, or do not let me trap you in a city. Oh, and don't panic, that will get you killed quick.
Sorry, but this whole thing just boggles my mind. Swarms are almost useless, AV grenades are almost useless, forgeguns I don't know too much about, REs require you to get within spitting range and even then, most good tanks can take more than you can put on, and now railguns are being asked to be nerfed? Seriously? |
