Wow I guess I hit home with that thales comment eh? Whatever mouth-breather, tanks are currently skill-less pwn-mobiles that allow the risk averse to AVOID DAMAGE FROM OVER HALF OF THE GAME.

The caps part is the b-llshit portion if you didn't realize it. You guys are the biggest f-cking crybabies this game has ever seen, and now as a community you think we are near balance.

How f-cking much would tankers cry if there was something in this game that they couldn't damage and that could OHKO or insta-blap them? Oh right, we already know because that is what they did prior to 1.6. Now that the situation is 100% inverted, they think everything is fine.

Anyway, my point stands. Tanker = thales users.

If a tank could be anti-infantry by sacrificing its anti-vehicle role, I wouldn't object.

Making Blasters as effective against other vehicles as ARs would actually balance them, because then people would only use them when supported by AV weaponry to hold off enemy tanks, and if you saw someone running Blasters and brought even your Missile-armed LAV out, you could take them down (especially if the LAV can move faster than the tank).

You find hiding in the redline away from the reach of 90% of infantry while killing them distastful, so you jump in a tank away from the reach of 90% of infantry while killing them.... yeah that adds up.

So its actually over 9 weeks, over half the amount of time that tanks were bullshit for and we still have at least another 4 weeks to go, so do you feel better now? Do you feel like this horrible balance against infantry is paying you back for where the bad CCP touched you?

There should be a non-vehicle based solution, available to anyone to skill into, that works as well against vehicles as vehicles work against infantry. I am not sure what we should call this new role, but it would be the antithesis of vehicles.... lets shorten that, we will call this role anti-vehicle or AV for short. This role should be 100% as effective against vehicles as vehicles are against infantry, and in-turn infantry should be 100% as efficient against AV as AV is against vehicles. This paradigm will require effective teams to represent all phases of gameplay.



Oh so Isk is a balancing factor here right? Well seeing as how there are barely any Gastun Forge guns in the game, meaning they are worth WAY MORE than a tank, I guess they should OHKO any vehicle from any distance..... since we are using isk to balance and all.

Calling someone a scrub is a good indicator we have a neckbeard here. How is life in your mom's basement Mr. Ketch-up stained A-shirt wearer?

Anyway, refute my point, refute that tankers get to avoid well over 80% of all forms of damage in this game while being perfectly effective versus everything, show me how there is a counter to a tank that works better than a tank (you know.... balance). Right now tanks are just carriages for risk averse cry-babies. Go get your diaper changed and hop back in one.

So you are a neckbeard and a carebear.
