message from Godin: If we could, 2 nitros is all I could run on my Maddy. Why? Because everything costs too much CPU/PG now.

Armor tanks should have less trouble fitting their lows then shield tanks.

message from Godin: No, it should be the other way around. If I spend so much SP to max out a fit, I should b eable to fit it however I please. Maddys need more CPU.

yeah yeah yeah whatever....

The Large blaster needs to be removed and replaced with something more Gallente type.

Perhaps a 30% reduction to fire rate, and a 25% increase to to damage.
Or, a Plasma Cannon type turret, that has wicked splash radius and damage, but slow cycle reloads.

Bottom line, small turrets should be killing the infantry, not easy-mode Lg blasters that my grandma can use


Right now tanks don';t make sense, balance-wise, lore-wise, or in general-wise.




...also, putting your name in the topic annoyed me.

No, Jason has had some terrible ideas about modules. Why should I have to fit my tank the way someone else wants me to to get the maximum benefit out of the modules I choose? Why should I have to use one booster, one hardener and one extender on a Gunnlogi, or one plate, one repper and one hardener on a Madrugar? We'll have fewer ways to fit out tanks like that, and everything will be the same again, like previous builds.

as far as MISSILES... yes clipsize should increase scaled... as to the rest... u want REs nerfed to oblivion so we cant JIHAAD... ur an idiot... lets nerf anything that can be used creatively (artisticly)

Incorrect

Reducing AV Effectivity of Blasters would not make it a "Railfest", especially if Rail RoF decreases. Only the truly Skilled would be able to manage AI Kills under the less spammable conditions, & Dropships would have a better chance to avoid an unskilled "Rail Kiddy". This solves 2 Issues right off the bat, & it gives a far less used Turret an actual Role, Missiles.

Missiles "May" have some AI killing potential, but they lack the Ammo & Accuracy to reliably kill Infantry. If a Missile Tank spams to kill Infantry he loses valuable time Reloading before an AV Engagement occurs, & may very well end up without the reserves needed to take out a Hostile Vehicular Threat. The Blaster Effectivity vs Vehicles would obviously not be Zero.....which is what you make it sound like that is what is suggested.

33% Efficiency lost, give or take a few, would still put a Skilled Blaster Tanker in a place where it "Could" kill another Tank in CQC. I already do this vs Rails with a STD Blaster..... Adv Nitro, STD Damage Mod, 2x STD Armor Hardeners, a STD Heavy Rep, & STD Blaster is all I need to outmaneuver & pressure just about any Rail in CQC. This @ a cost of 167K ISK, making it High Survivability, Low Risk, High Reward.....& I don't have Blaster Fitting Optimization past 2.....or was it 3, I forget.

Rail RoF Decrease means Misses will be far more punishing, putting only Skilled Pilots in Mid-Field with reliability of killing effectively. But then.....that is where the Missile Tank would shine. A maneuverable Missile Tank could easily chase off & kill a Low RoF CQC Rail under these conditions. This creates a "Triforce" among the current Turret Types, with Infantry AV being the "Wild Card".

Also.....Infantry have plenty of "Hidey Holes". AI is still best done with a RR, CR, & SCR. You should try looking at the "Big Picture" before you make your assumptions as it seems you may be a Blaster Tanker who only saw "Nerf Blasters" when reading my Post. L2R KthxBAI.

PS: You also missed the Swarm Suggestion.....since apparently you see only in "Blaster Vision".

If you weaken the Blaster by making less effective VS vehicles, all we'll ever see is Rail tanks on the field. The primary solution is to reduce the AI effectiveness of all tanks, wether that be through reworking terrain (to give more hidey holes, tunnels etc) so that infantry can still operate without the need to kill tanks) or by reworking the actual tank weapons themselves. Tank survivability isn't really a big issue, its the ease and efficiency at which it kills infantry that is the unbalanced problem.

but the caldari tank doesnt need nerfing to its armor tanking as its pathetic and armor hardeners work under high hp low persistent recover

if anything the cpu on maddy needs buffed slightly not pg though

No on hardeners

Missiles are fine

No to nitro if i want i should be able to fit 2 only stacking penalty applies if both are on

Blasters are fine, less damage on mlt compared to proto last time i remember my exile has the same clip size as the duvolle
