Hi All,

Just wondering how many remotes you all use on your jihad jeeps

I have 18, 24 if I use 2 suits.

5 boundless
5 republic boundless
4 F49's
4 Republic F49's

18

3 Std
3 republic Std

24

and this here is the very reason tankers are against the JLAVs I don't mind if you got RE's on the tank but when you can exploit and spam it like that makes it unbalanced no tank could survive that and for that very reason you shouldn't be allowed to do that or least not put that many on it.

you complain tanks are op yet your JLAV is even more OP and it's free if there isn't a more unbalanced tactic in this game than I don't what is.

This post is such hypocritical bullshit. Of course "tankers" are against anything that is a hard counter to their OP metal crutches. Jihad LAV"s are probably the only rock to your scissor right now, but god forbid anything like that is in the game. As an infantry player, there are many many ways I can be countered.. what a ******* failpost this is.

LAV"s are not free.. unless you bought a BPO or merc pack. Remotes aren't free either.

The current state of Militia Tank spam and the imbalance it causes, specifically in ambush matches, is probably the most ridiculous bullshit I've seen since playing this game (including TAC AR's, Flaylock, Fused Core Locus spam, district locking, etc)

But please, continue to tell us how awful it is to lose a tank every now and again to someone willing to suicide themselves and their LAV just to take you off the field for a minute.

right lose around 25-30k isk with almost 100% chance to kill a 500k tank yeah cause that seems so logical I don't care about the mlt tanks the fact is it can 1 shot almost all tanks CCP already said they gonna fix the mlt spam anyway so why not deal with the easy 100% kill chance that barely costs anything and when I said free I mean it's bascily free because you can put your RE's on a LAV with almost nothing on it and change to a free suit and basicly lose almost nothing

LOL. It's more like 33% if you are a good driver and the tank has no infantry support (some tankers are better drivers than others). I usually go with 7REs - STD & ADV + k2 nanohives so I can make another if my LAV is stolen before I can finish it (this happens about 50% of the time).

What ******* game are you playing. where is this "most" statistic you just pulled out of your ass? Its amazing that you assume I'm having problems with tanks. They are harder to take down now than pre-1.7 true, and they deserved a buff, but CCP done broke the AV>Vehicle balance pretty bad this build. Most players agree, die hard tankers are soaking in the tears because after a long time being underpowered.. they finally have the lime light they have craved. Congrats I guess. I run in a squad.. when tanks show their lovely heads I switch to AV with some other squad mates and we deal with it. Yesterday, for whatever god awful reason the squad I was in wanted to run spambush. Nyain san showed up on the enemy team... nuff said. 6 blueberries on our team had zero warpoints. This particular corp, used for example purposes only, is so well known for tank spam their opponents would rather not play than even try. The reason I make my posts is because I put my shoes on the feet of brand new players. What does this game look like to them? You probably, rather most certainly, don't come off as the type of player who gives two flux about the new player experience so I expect this to go straight over your head. Ask yourself this question.... When a player is presented with an enemy tank (or 6) on the battlefield, and the most viable option to destroy or counter said tank(s) is to pack RE's onto an LAV, drive it into the side of the tank and commit suicide just to destroy the tank, what problem does this pose? From the tankers persepective... it is an overpowered crutch that needs to be removed from the game. God forbid my tank gets one shotted by a kamikaze suicide bomber who was crafty enough to drive his one-hittable bomb through the battlefield and into the side of my metal crutch, even though one shot from anything would have destroyed him before he could have gotten to me. QQ From the non-tankers perspective... there are no other viable means to deal with said tank, or tank spam. So the crux of the problem is that there are no other viable means to counter tanks, right? besides advanced/proto AV or calling in your own tank. Go run a militia heavy, militia forge gun.. and let me know how well you have done against tank spam.. or god forbid actual tankers who have skilled into the profession. This is from the new players perspective.. those who do not have a heavy suit with adv/proto FG (probably the only viable AV weapon.. see lolswarms, lolplasmacannon, lolavnades, lolproximines). Do you get it now? Probably not.. because even a beta veteran tanker would agree that tanks in their current state, ability to spam the field of battle, recall, low price, etc etc are very far from balanced (which is what you were complaining about in your first post right? balance?)

Costs nearly 30,000isk for boundless REs, same again for LAV, let's say 80,000isk for the total package. As others have said, your chance of reaching the tank in one piece is far from certain. Let's say 50% chance of success, even when you 'succeed' you die, so it costs about 160,000isk per kill. Tank.** Well fitted tank is 500,000isk. Gets you around 10 kills to 1 death if you're an average player, 25 kills to 1 death if you're a good player. So 20,000-50,000isk per kill, a small fraction of the cost of a JLAV kill. Before you say 'kills aren't everything', I should point out that in ambush they are. Furthermore, a tank will have a much bigger impact on the flow of play than a RE LAV. No one ever ran away from an objective or hid indoors because a RE LAV was coming. So a tank is even better value in an objective-based game mode. TL;DR - Tanks are OP, JLAV aren't. But I think you already knew that.

Believe it or not, it costs too much. Loading up my Logisitcs M-1 that's fit with STD, F/45s, and Boundless REs costs a decent amount on its own. Calling in a Baloch just makes it worse since I don't have an LAV BPO. Doing all of this just to have a "chance" at taking out an MLT tank makes me say "Fuck, you guys deal with it!" Same here, but suit costs can be avoided by swapping to a bpo suit if you aren't playing ambush. My problem is dying because of how buggy this game is, spontaneously blowing up, randomly flipping/corkscrewing on flat surfaces, clipping into thing and getting stuck, then stray infantry fire and people stealing my LAVs comes into the picture. Only players with bpo lavs could do it on a regular basis. 32db Mad Bomber.

If they couldn't escape so quick it would be fine but you get them to 1000 armour and they run off and recall the tank and get a new one (another broken mechanic). This means that there is no real viable option to destroy tanks at the moment. Other than proximity mines which can be driven over if you have a hardener active. Tailss Prower Shamefully i am not able to give you any -1's otherwise i would. I am sorry to any true tanker that i Jihad jeep but i am only using the one real anti tank tool to my disposal ATM. All FOTM tankers deserve it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
