Might as well just change the name to Bin Laden 514 and change the theme to Talaban tribal warfare. No need for the New Eden sci-fi link. Let's go ahead and lose the guns too. Just strap REs on and kill NPC civilians to secure districts.
I love it!
Because tactics from the 'past' can't be used in the future wars? Its realistically valid as an explosive delivery service, be it 2000 or *whatever year in which the eve universe is set* |

Just today, I was in a Caldari FW match on my Tank alt, and wouldn't you guess it we began to lose fast. We got Redlined half way through the match and I was pretty much stuck in my Redline with my XT-201 Gunnlogi biding my time. I couldn't really leave the Redline because I knew I would quickly die and I didn't see much reason to recall it, so I just sat there taking pot shots at any ADSs(I actually took one down) or Tanks that got near.
I was just minding my own business, getting Redlined, hardly being a threat at all and then all of a sudden a certain Dust 514 Youtube personality comes flying over a hill in an RE strapped LAV and blows me up with it. You know, in my own deployment zone, while getting Redlined.
I admit, I was a little bitter, I rather like his videos and didn't really expect him scrubbing me clean like that.
I'm over it now(I seriously can not hold a grudge), but talk about rubbing salt in the wound.
But until AV or Tanks get fixed or whatever I don't have that much of a problem with them. I can count the number of times I've successfully been killed by an RE strapped LAV on one hand.
The bit about you being redlined aside, if you don't want to worry about losing a 400000 ISK tank don't call it in. This is New Eden. To paraphrase the motto of EvE, don't drive what you can't afford to lose. At least with Jihad Jeeps, I take a death and (usually) a small monetary loss. When I have a RLRT take out my dropship in two hits, it costs them nothing and costs me 400K. Yes, I know "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, Thorson." But when your rail tank is in the redline or on a hill watching my spawn and takes out my 400K at no cost to you, you better know that I have no qualms about Jihad Jeeping. Jus' sayin. |
