there not powerful and they cheap for new players to try out tanking
if your standing in front of one with a blaster or see one and dont call it out to the team or get real AV then its not the tanks fault ! its yours !

2 mid 2 low low CPU low PG and to top it off the low cpu and pg means you cant run small guns on the thing with out cutting back on rep or def


rely guys crying over MLT tanks is Lame EPIC LAME !!!!!

I did

Let me see:
GÖª Call in Sica with Blaster (if no enemy tanks) or Rail turret.
GÖª Own everything without much problem.
GÖª Not even FG present a threat to me
GÖª If another tank (the only true threat) appears i try to take him town, i have 2 shield hardeners that work pretty neet
GÖª If im getting outgunned and feel i wont win , i activate my ARMOR Hardener, i jump off my Sica, and recall.It only takes like 2 seconds.
GÖª I try to take out the tank on foot with my Sentinel BPO and DAU.
GÖª If i die, i only loose 1 DAU ASsault FG.

Seems PRETTY POWERFUL TO ME.

doesn't answer the question

you said use real av. i asked you "what exactly do you call real av", as in, what in your eyes do you see as real av. this is what we all want to know because apparently you are the only person in dust who has any

but rely Forgun + MLT = dead tank on the rood same with a a well fitted AV AVD SL drop suit .

With my skills in vehicles I can easily fit a milita sica with a milita blaster hardener, extender and a basic pg upgrade and be unstoppable to anything short of a std tank or milita rail gun with damage mods. When I first tried this I took out 5 other milita tanks like it was cake. Infantry? Psh, milita blaster eats them.
If you fit an enhanced pg extender then you can fit a turret, a complex gives you two. For the whopping price of 90k......
I can make more money running milita tanks than I can flying my proto fit assault dropship with close to max skills. Those run me 6-700k a pop and die in two shots to a milita rail tank faster than i can even turn on a modual, that costs less than an 8th of my dropship without me even being able to fly over him and engage.

A milita tank, with milita mods, is better than my assault dropship, with a full proto fit.... Do you wonder why dropship pilots are hanging up their wings for a tank? I have even come to the realization that the beat way to make my money back is to drive a tank. I hate that....so the complaints are justified, please don't try and tell me milita tanks aren't horribly out of balance, you aren't fooling anyone.

there cheep thats all there good at
Your not fooling anyone just because pub machs are filled with low skilled players most dont even run AV or know how to skill in to them or uses them do,s not mean MLT are OP no its the players that suck at AV that makes them seem OP.

MLT tanks are completely fine.

They die easy. Anyone can jump in them and make it somewhat relevant.

They are easy to kill and usually the only tank AV can kill.

They are the only answer to killing tankers who know anything... The best answer to another tank is a MLT tank.

When you nerf MLT tanks it won't make it better for Infantry but it will make it better for dedicated tankers. As they won't have to worry about anyone but dedicated tankers.


MLT tanks is not a problem in DUST they are a balance factor.

That blame lies with CCP's battle Academy. Fact that there is no walk through to even using a MLT swarm launcher or forge gun in Academy shows you alot.

is the legendary rail gun tanker playing this game again. O_O

i need to play against u XD.

<3.

Because a majority of ppl left r so bad it hurts. :(

they should block all players from the forums unless they have 500.000 war points or more

they make u play 15 minutes before u can post.

Sica with 3 hardeners?

Shows how much you know.

there cheep thats all there ................................................................

During my trial of the milita tank I encountered plenty of AV, none of it really scared me or made me react any differently than usual, point and click. Unless there was a proto forge gun, then I had to get fancy and stop (on a dime) and roll backwards slightly. If they waited to ambush I would just throw on my hardener and drive away, yeah good luck charging that forge gun 3 times before I'm gone. Jihad jeeps? Easy, shoot them. Remote dets? Lol my tank is so fast, try catching it before I get my blaster on you scout. Swarm launchers? Hahahaha stop it that tickles!
I watched 3 guys switch to adv swarms, one proto to try and stop me..........................................


Please try and tell me how that's not op.

I love Militia Tank spam. It gives me a reason to pull out my RE's again. So fun to run up to a tank and put down RE's and take it out.

So many people think tanks are OP that they go grab Militia tanks and think they can be powerful. Maybe against the average to bellow average player, yes, but man are they fun to hunt if you have experience fighting them.

ive gone through maybe 100 tanks since 1.7, NEVER lost any to AV infantry, only to railguns across the map, get rid of militia tanks, but normal tanks and little and give them a super high price

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.

And let me guess, PC is all that does count?

First off, only a very small part of the playerbase participates in PC, and only a small part of the playerbase could participate in Planetary Conquest if they wanted to.

Furthermore, balance around the Planetary Conquest game-mode implies that everyone is running Prototype and Officer gear 24/7.

If you are going to allow something to be balanced in one gamemode, but not another; then do not allow them to be in said gamemode (Basically, if you won't balance them around PUBs, then remove them from PUBs)

I think these guys also covered that point in another thread:





PC players are about 5% of this game's playerbase. Anyone saying that something should be balanced around what almost nobody plays clearly has no credibility in a balance discussion
