blah blah blah

I quit tanking because it was too hard for me.

blaster turrets didnt change much in reality other than beeing made slower due to the fact that ccp removed it and we now have to spec into just to barely reach the old 1.6 turret rotation speed levels.

still takes me around 20-50 shots to kill a MOVING player.. when ppl stand still in front of the turret at close range it does tend to kill ppl pretty fast then.. but that is literally the only time it does kill efficiently. the same could be said for every other turret and gun out in the game. except for maybe the rail rifle and combat rifle they kill ppl extremely fast whether your moving or not. thus their opness..

when im driving my blaster tank i have the intent in helping to push the enemy team out of objectives. its pretty much necessary when the enemy team has spammed uplinks and is using full proto. having an endless hold on the objective.
so that fire power is obviously needed to help push the enemy proto team back while also giving some mobile cover for your own team to use to make it up to the enemy team to help push and eventually capture the area. its kind of challenging for both teams. that large blaster turret is the perfect weapon of choice for the tank because it has the ability to suppress the enemy team for a limited time allowing for all sorts of tactics to come into play.

might i also add that infantry also have the ability to slaughter infantry? its called proto gear...


tanks can also slaughter each other now due to it being more balanced. tank vs tank is probably alot more balanced than infantry vs infantry right now any ways.

av has alot more maneuverability than tanks to begin with and alot more terrain advantages at the same time.. tanks on dust cant plow over and run over massive structures on the map and completely destroy the environment. tanks r unable to enter into small entry ways. the only thing they can do when it comes to structures is shoot through openings like windows and pray some1 walks into the gun fire. and traverse the open areas with out risk of getting killed by some1 with a sniper rifle in the redline. but they still have to worry about getting sniped by a rail gun installation.

PRO is OP at is anti-infantry role.

What good is a tank if it can be destroyed by 2 HMGs? Not be able to destroy infantry? The only other role a tank would have is AV, which is of course what you all want, only able to take on tanks AND unable to run you over.

i say anyone who cant kill a tank with infantry av weapons is a little bltch maid, is not impossible ur just idiots

I think the blaster turret should be nerfed against vehicles actually, the blaster turrent is meant for killing infantry and other close targets.

Now if only it had to get close to kill infantry.... Bring it's range down to where infantry had a chance of closing the distance to throw a AV nade and the fight would be less one sided.

Do you really believe anything you just wrote? Really?

So, you are saying that it is completely balanced gameplay be able to do insane damage to EVERYTHING in-game, in a very efficient manner, while being immune to well over half of that game? Tanks should not get to be 100% effecient vs infantry and be immune to them at the same time. Thats why people HATE tanks.

(oh btw I have all of my sp into vehicles and use all tanks sans madruger very often)



So you have no counter arguement I take it. Thanks for proving my point.

Oh no, a YouTube video! My life is ruined!

I cried when I saw the Blue Ball of Death coming to get me.

Oh, yeah, more nuclear baseballs. Takes a whole vehicle / AV rework to get those nerfed. Why, it's perfectly fine that those continue to do ~2000 damage against armor before 1.7, while infantry had contact grenades lose their seeking ability, and damage nerfed to 400 or so. Yeah, nice double standards.

Rendering is still a ***** sometimes, and as we all know, sometimes the hit markers don't work correctly.

It was an AV Madrugar, not the best for defense. I still killed them both though. They probably weren't too happy that I took them both with me.

None of you even have an argument.

"Wah, my AR won't kill this tank. Wah, I wanted CCP to nerf tanks, but I didn't expect this. Wah, tanks have NOS, it's not fair they can move faster than me. Wah, tanks have thousands of HP and I don't."

Those are your arguments.

So why should tankers be forced to fit their hulls the way someone else wants?

If scrubs like duna corp can do it, why can't everybody else?

Oh wait, you don't know what teamwork is.

We shouldn't be penalized because of the people that have neither.

i think it hilarious that one person says " it should take teamwork to kill me" .... it took a TEAM to kill ONE person = BALANCE

LOL, this is fantastic to know some people have this "logic" and actually find sense in it... you either want balance or you want vehicles to have a viable role in DUST 514.

~Still think tanks should require two operators~

Well, that figures.
