Tanking is significantly easier....whats your point. I know this, you know this. But why cant these people combat tanks if they are such better players than me?

Dual reps and hards is broken

You cant have both dual reps and hardeners .....Madruagars only have 3 lows...... Do you mean a single hardener and dual reppers. I have seen those tanks and they are tough as nails.

Definitely not impossible though.

Yes, those builds are broken
To balance tanks you need to fix both of them, a 30% penelty to a additional rep or hardener....

I have to teach myself to fly now to get up high. Amarr will probably be a better bet - two damage mods is plenty, and you keep all your tank slots. Also, I've found it's easier to solo tanks from low rooftops, the kind you can reach on foot - you want to try for crits (not necessary, but definitely very helpful) and this gives you a better vantage on those weak points.

Thrillhouse Van Houten DIOS EX. General Tso's Alliance 80	Posted - 2014.02.15 09:30:00 - [25] - Quote I don't even know you and doubt you're a scrub just because you use tanks, but that doesn't mean tanks aren't OP. OP just a little, though. People act like tanks didn't still kill people before 1.7. They weren't as good, but they still killed people. Lots. When 1.7 dropped they made tanks twice as strong as before and made AV twice as weak. It quadrupled their effectiveness against infantry. Well placed FGs can still put the fear of god in HAVs. If they aren't that well placed, though, they can be easily dispatched by the HAVs infantry buddies. AV nades are practically suicide to attempt, since you have to get close enough to wipe the tankers arse to hit with them. Swarms are like sending a bunch of midges at a bear. Used to be a PRO swarmer could at least make a tanker sweat. The only truly effective means of dispatching a tanker is another tanker who isn't a joke. So the problem with that is...you get into a pub match where the other team doesn't HAVE a tanker that isn't a joke. Suddenly you're riding herd on scared infantry to the tune of 25/0 and people get annoyed. I guess I'm saying balance AV and vehicles and you don't get called a scrub nearly as often. If I have to spend 2mil SP to proto Swarms, they should at least do more than tickle you, since you don't even need proto hardeners to be able to speed off to your redline before they do any damage.

I fear tankers from back before the vehicle respec. The high SP investment and the amount of ISK involved really created some skilled players. AV could kill fairly easily and frankly if you sucked at tanking or flying the game weeded you out. I don;t think people really cried much because they could deal with a tank or two on the field. Now anyone can tank. When CCP makes their changes to tanks (i'm pretty sure they will do something) hopefully the true skill will shine through again. But right now, in all honesty there's no skill in running permahardeners or redline rail tanking and a lot of people are doing it. I don't QQ about it though. The only effect tanks have had on me is I run Damps now so I can move around them. Sorry for late reply I just carjacked CaoticFox's Baloch and had to take it for an extended spin. Because beer, that's why.
