Ummm No !

we when over this read back some taking out MLT tanks only hurts the game and players and price them hi only hurts the game more as well when you have only good tankers and player who could be good tankers not even skill into them do to the price of failing !

and like i said Pub battles dont count !

PC is too small of a sample size, considering not only do so few play it, so few even CAN play it. You just wind up with a few set styles of play that generally stick, and you don't really get the bigger picture of overall balance.

Tanks themselves are fairly balanced, it's red line abuse and militia tank abuse that are causing issues in the general population, and I would not be remotely surprised to see dedicated red line rail tanks in PC matches that literally never ever leave their post.

I think a lot of PC players are putting too much value in their "status" and failing to see that it's the same game with more coordination. The mechanics don't change, it's just that you generally have an entire team working together and everyone just uses what's statistically strongest not because they're interested in the balance of the game, but because they're interested in winning that match.

You can't shape this game out of something as exclusive as PC. To many factors plays into why it is exclusive and great team corp is not one of em. or I should say only reason. CB has proven to be the better judgment of strong teams. Without the VIP treatment.

I'm willing to admit a few problems with tanks, but you're insane if you think that mlt prices and mods don't contribute heavily.

The problems as I see them are : hardeners run for way too long in general making them always more useful than hp increasing modules (there is zero tactical use), railgun (and to a lesser extent missile) damage is absurd and is only further compounded by insane bonuses from damage mods (which should be cut down to 15-20%), tanks are very very fast (I think an operable speed would be about 23-25m/s before plates come in), hp increasing modules aren't worth fitting when they should really be the standard and hardeners the 'ohshit' button, dual repairer fits can be prettymuch invincible to light/less skilled av, tank costs are much too cheap (I understand that no one wants to go 6 battles to buy one toy but I think the costs of hulls & large turrets need to go up), tank versus tank right now falls into 'who saw who first', blaster RoF is high enough that it allows spray and pray vs infantry.

I would like to see health increasing modules be worth fitting (remember this slows down armor tanks and puts them in stand and deliver while shield tanks are supposed to be hit and run, hardeners length reduced promoting tactical use, the amount of repair on armor modules go down somewhat (meaning that you can repair incidental damage if a threat is dealt with but if you get beat back its time to find a supply depot), railgun damage lowered by about 250 and damage mods reduced to about 20%, and finally I would like to see blasters get a RoF reduction (but moderate damage increase) as well as an overall increase to cost on tanks to make them comparable or slightly more than an assault dropship for isk value.

Tanks are in many ways much better than some previous patches but in other ways they're much worse - I think that we can make tanks better still but also have them be balanced and fun.

This coming from the tanker that's a big fan of redline railing. Which I suggest you stick with, rolling with the big boys isn't your thing

And zomg, you run guns on your tank from the redline.

EPIC FAIL
