mollerz Minja Scouts 2235	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:22:00 - [1] - Quote Seems legit! I could see shields shrugging off our knives, but tank armor, much like dropsuit armor, should be damaged. It used to be that you could damage tanks with knives but it was removed. Is there any explanation for this? You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla
Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 997	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:24:00 - [2] - Quote You are damaging tanks with your knives, and any other kind of light weapon too. The difference is that the damage is so minimal that it may as well not have an effect at all. Grahisha of ILF // Writer of Thoughts of a Clone Soldier // Latest entry published Jan. 29th
mr musturd 0uter.Heaven Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 351	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:26:00 - [3] - Quote You actually could hurt tanks when uprising first came out but now you can't
Vell0cet SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 880	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:27:00 - [4] - Quote Don't bring a knife to a tank fight. Best PvE idea ever!
mollerz Minja Scouts 2236	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:29:00 - [5] - Quote I think you are mistaken on the damage being administered, even in small amounts, with knives. And if it's so small as to be insignificant, it may as well be considered to be unharmful to tanks. So again, why can't we do somewhat significant damage? You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla
Benjamin Ciscko Fatal Absolution 1485	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:30:00 - [6] - Quote Knives can easily pierce Kevlar where as low caliber bullets can not so Knives are effective against armored infantry but a Knife vs. a tank the knife breaks. Caldari Tanker/Minmatar Assault Forum warrior lvl 1

OK.. Charged swipe.. basically a plasma cutter. I'll agree a swipe would likely bounce off (but not break). You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla

Same goes with installations and crus. I use to blow up crus in chrome and when uprising first hit I took out 1 tank

I jumped on his gun and shot at his turrent with an SMG while the blues shoot him with their ars. Anyways he was helpless and we ended up poping him. Thanks CCP Foxfour
Bunny Demon Capital Acquisitions LLC Renegade Alliance 77	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:37:00 - [14] - Quote You'd be able to 3-4 shot a tank with knives (proto knives can do 1000+ damage apparently) So.....when are the um......new dropsuits coming out CCP.....it's been a few weeks now.... ;)

8213 Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 1584	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:38:00 - [16] - Quote Most infantry weapons don't hurt armor or vehicle shields because it would interrupt rep cycles. A guy with NKs or a SMG would then in theory stop HP regeneration on the tank allowing proper AV to destroy it. Tankers would have 0 chance then. Fish in a bucket! Darken's Testament SKIPPY
Llast 326 An Arkhos 1753	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:40:00 - [17] - Quote Was the Amarr version of NK not rumoured to be AV? Who knows really, this stuff is always suspect to much sodium. It would be interesting as a conceptGÇª effective, who knows? KRRROOOOOOM

Roger Cordill The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 339	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:41:00 - [19] - Quote message from Godin: If you could, any weapon would really be able to do AV really, as many weapons have the DPS that matches large blaster turrets. CCP saw that (after they saw the squads of PR's shooting at HAV's and killing them), and nerfed the efficiency on everything but AV weapons and large turrets. Even smalls got nerfed.
AAGMUNDR Reliable Overwatch Inc. 286	Posted - 2014.02.02 20:41:00 - [20] - Quote No matter which side you're on, you've got to admit, it'd be badass to see a bunch of scouts piled on top of a tank opening that **** up like a can of tuna.

But let's break it down- I am saying shields- 0 damage or very minimal. like 1%. That means the tanks shields would have to be wiped out to even do anything. I am also saying that swipes won't do any damage, only charged swipes. I'm seeing tanks with 5K+ armor, so yes, that would be 4-5 (or more) charged swipe hits to pop the tank. Do you know how how hard it would be to take out a tanks shields, and then hit it with 4 or so charged swipes before they rolled off at LAV speeds? You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla

That is a valid point, and I am sure it's not an insurmountable issue. I'd be fine with the inability to interrupt rep cycles, but still apply damage. EDIT: I hid godin/roger whatever posts. I can no longer see them. I was very pleased to see now they just show up minimized. Sorry dude- I'll never read your posts again. TTFN. You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla

I swear to god, you're all insane. One could say you want to keep tanks so strong you don't have to worry about anything. Just like they are now. If a charged knife can split a heavy with 800 armor in half why can't it do similar damage to tank armor? And it's not just knives. If you cling to that, then you may as well move along. These are plasma cutters when they are charged- not sharp blades. They melt armor like hot butter. Tank armor is no different than phatty armor. It appears, the only reason installation/CRU/vehicle armor is exempt is to, once again, solely placate tankers to the end of lessening your QQ. You just want a win button that can't take damage.

There's no logical argument that infantry weapons should damage tanks at all. Given the game setting- sure there is. I agree small arms fire would be insignificant. The equivalent of a light saber would be significant damage. I realize you can't wrap your head around it. But, also, it's in your best interest to keep tanks as they are. I understand. I don't want you to QQ. But I would expect you to grasp the concept. You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla

Awesome Pantaloons Lokapalas. 257	Posted - 2014.02.02 21:14:00 - [30] - Quote You want to know why knives don't do significant damage? When the **** was the last time you saw a soldier charge a tank and try to stab it? "Uhhhh but these are special knives". In this setting, armor would have become just as advanced as the knives. You have failed the forums. "Seems legit". Kid, feed your poor brain. It seems to be dying. "The Wrath of God is Immense. His Justice is Swift and Decisive.
