DozersMouse XIII Ultramarine Corp 235	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:13:00 - [1] - Quote if tanks were not somewhat OP as most of the community would agree on then how can these scrubs that never used a HAV before 1.7 just pick one up hop in and become one if not the biggest threat on the battlefield? I mean if there not OP and AV is fine this can only mean 1 thing DuST is full of the best pilots that have ever touched tanks in a battlefield type shooter and none of you guys can claim to be better then the next because your all a balanced threat from beginner - vet and militia - SP invested Bacon pancakes makin' bacon pancakes Take some bacon and I'll put it a pancake Bacon pancakes thats what it's gonna make

I promise we're out there (although I think by this point only True is actively pursuing a vehicle balance) EDIT: TRUE YOU'RE MAKING MY PARTIALLY HYPERBOLIC STATEMENT INTO A LIE!! ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.

The third high/low actually makes you a significantly greater threat. It's the difference between being out-DPSed by my Particle Cannon and having comparable DPS (at least until I pop my own damage mod, but that's what you have friends for!) Basically it gives you dramatically more options. You'd never dream of running a nitrous on a Sica; not enough tank, (or gank, I guess) otherwise. My missile tank setup varies between 1x dam 1x hard 1x nitro and 2x hard 1x nitro depending. That third slot lets you come up with some unique fittings. ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.

You seem to be implying that STD HAV's are well balanced; this is blatantly untrue. They are. Sicas are often just as durable as my Particle Cannon fitting, for zero SP versus my millions upon millions. Hardener, armour rep and by extension damage mod stacking is what's imbalanced and needs fixing. A hard nerf (so no stacking at all) or a soft one (huge penalties, so it's subpar rather than impossible), either way, but it has to be done. Shield regen also needs to be altered; judge's video was evidence of this, though I've thought it from the first time I got attacked by an MLT large blaster. ak.0 4 LYFE Large Missile Turrets: the real unicorns of DUST.

Its not about nerfing anything. That doesn't achieve balance in the slightest. Its about tweaking what we have to develop the relationship between vehicles and AV. Personally the only way I see to develop this is to start with static AV models. Lets take the ones we are given and introduce the required racial parity amongst heavy/AV weapons. Once done we as a community over a period of time test the weapons and determine where faults with the weapon lie, and present a statement to CCP/CPM. After which we actively try to balance vehicles around the AV values. If you are looking for quick fixes I can list a few off for you. 1.) 5% increase to the damage of AV weapons (all ranges, charge/rof, etc stay the same) 2.) Decrease effectiveness of shield hardeners to 50%, and Armour Hardeners to 35%. 3.) Increase by 5-10% the fitting requirements of Hardener units. 4.) Implement a system like the Cloak Cooldown whereby Hardeners cannot be consecutively activated. Once a hardener activates it runs its duration and starts a hardener cool down cycle equivalent to half of that activated modules cool down timers before another hardener can be activated. The following should not be implemented at once but equally considered as a possible solution to quickly and temporarily fix the situation. This de-incentivising stacking hardeners but doesn't prevent it, reinforces the nature of waves of opportunity and allows AV to capitalise on such weaknesses which not directly buff or nerf AV and tanks respectively.

Dovallis Martan JenusKoll Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 687	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:29:00 - [9] - Quote I think that novice tankers will start to show a bit more, now that points are being provided for damaging, and not only destroying, tanks. People will come in this next patch, who will be solely designed to damage vehicles while escaping enemy infantry. Buuutt.. only time can show if this is realistic or not. Tanks would be incredibly balanced as they are now... IF we had Webifiers. It's kind of a delicate edge they're trodding on... either too effective or too ineffective, and Webifiers would change things to have regions of effective use, and regions of risky use. If you can read this, it means you are reading. Unless you are skimming
Kara Anschel Tech Guard RISE of LEGION 60	Posted - 2014.03.24 05:38:00 - [10] - Quote This might be a shocker, but I really don't think tanks are OP, I just don't think they are tiered or balanced well. We only have two tiers of vehicle (mlt, and std) but we have four tiers of AV (mlt, std, adv, pro). It's very hard to balance 4 tiers around 2 tiers. It also doesn't help that there are four tiers of modules for tanks, so a standard tank or a militia tank can fit all the way to proto but still be just a standard tank. Vehicles are annoying sure, but people simply don't AV. When my corp squads up, it's generally me with a Kaalakiota forge and my Corp Leader with his Ishukone. We also have a resident rail tanker whose been trying infantry lately. Anywho, if any combination of the three of us pull out rails or forges, the vehicle game is done. We win. Even doubled hardened Maddies have trouble with this kind of firepower. However, we will be the only people running AV the entire game. AV generally doesn't start in my games until I start slinging slugs at people. People normally don't pull out the AV fits until six Somas hit the field, and sorry kiddies but that's too late. I can understand why people are hesitant to AV however, simply put, without vehicles you are useless. Swarms are only lock on, PLC is a joke (still get kills with it on occasion), and unless you practice, popping redberries with a forge is difficult (my favorite pastime). I guess you could get vehicles with the MD, but until 1.8 drops I don't think it's even viable. AV means almost entirely removing your AI capability for the off chance a tank rolls your way WITHOUT hardeners. (Seriously though, **** hardeners) 1.8 may not seem to address vehicles but I do think it is a step in the right(ish) direction. All racial commando suits are coming out, Gallente and Minmatar damage buffs work for the light AV, and they all have an equipment slot for hives. WP for damaging vehicles will help too. Now people actually have some intensive to shoot at that tank, points are points. Much better than offloading 15k damage into something, watch it speed away, double hardened, and get nothing but a railgun to the face. 1.8 is not without downsides however, the nerf to damage mods and proficiencies is going to hurt (The forge still works wonders at advanced without mods though, so I'm not too concerned). These nerfs hit the swarm launcher very hard, but if the damage bug is ever fixed, it will still get a performance jump to what we see today. Personally, I think we need less time between patches and lighter patches, even if they are as simple are just bringing proficiency back to what it was. Two weeks should be enough time to see how these changes all play out, and then change accordingly.

Tanks don't tier well. Another manner of balancing HAV is MLT- 1 Slots High and Low STD- Two Slots essentially our MLT now but requires SP ADV- 3 Slots out STD HAV now but more SP PRO- 4 slots, better than our STD now but most SP "Get thine Swag out of my face!

Frankly speaking I like the range we have now....but understand most people don't..... maybe its just selfish but I am getting to the point where I can snipe infantry at long range with a blaster...... range sure keep range where it is. Damage drop off though..... that's a better solution than hard capping range IMO. As such I can't really say we should de-incentivise long range aiming. To vehicles that is not even a threat....to infantry however I can see why that is an issue. I would need to refine my own internal discussion regarding range.... I tend to try to rationalise/ argue to myself why things should or shouldn't be.... Again for blaster turrets I am not a huge fan of them....or how they operate....but hypocritically they are the turret type I most run. I personally find Rail Guns distasteful, and am working on Missile HAV, atm I roll blasters for close infantry support which is where I am on the map, brawling with other tanks and keeping the objectives clear for my squad mates. Still I cannot help but mislike them..... asking me about blasters is never going to get you a truly unbiased answer because while I dislike them, I also find them oddly fulfilling when I best another AV built tank. I will edit this post with a more refined statement, or simply repost. For the most part I find blaster ranges to be a little excessive.....however. I am a huge fan/proponent of the idea that AV and HAV always need to be overlapping in engagement zones, meaning that I believe that while some AV should be long range and hard hitting other types that perhaps favour DPS over Alpha are possible to engage. Nothing was worse than pre 1.7 when Tankers could not see past 50m due to poor rendering, or even after that when blaster hit detection was poor and AV like swarms could snipe us from outside our effective ranges..... 1.2- 1.7 was atrocious balance in favour of AV. Which is why while I am on the upside of the nerf bat I am going to campaign for careful tweaks and community feed back of calls for nerfs and buffs. "Get thine Swag out of my face!

Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui The Containment Unit 425	Posted - 2014.03.24 06:04:00 - [18] - Quote If hardeners are tweaked then make them so that if you stack them that you would only receive ten percent more of a cushion , same with damage mods . CCP did the community a great favor changing damage mods ( talking about infantry and using that as an example ) and reducing the percentage but now they need to make it the same to reduce stacking damage mods . Ten percent to infantry and the same from vehicles so if someone wanted to stack they would only receive a slight boost for the excessive amount of CPU / PG for the mods . This would reduce stacking and would kill the double damage mods ( or triple for vehicles and infantry ) and double hardeners . Everything else is fine basically . Shields are so weak that they need the regen for all vehicles so I wouldn't touch that at all . There must be a way to kill the incentive to stack and it shouldn't be by killing their effectiveness or changing PG / CPU it should be by increasing the penalty . Leave all negative comments about tanks in the bin marked " TRASH " and we'll get to it as soon as possible . Thank You

Forges do wonders, PLC is a joke, Remotes/Proxies instagib tanks. Solo HAVs may be stronger than before 1.7 but HAV pilots that use teamwork are weaker than ever.

Ten percent to infantry and the same from vehicles so if someone wanted to stack they would only receive a slight boost for the excessive amount of CPU / PG for the mods . This would reduce stacking and would kill the double damage mods ( or triple for vehicles and infantry ) and double hardeners . Everything else is fine basically . Shields are so weak that they need the regen for all vehicles so I wouldn't touch that at all . There must be a way to kill the incentive to stack and it shouldn't be by killing their effectiveness or changing PG / CPU it should be by increasing the penalty . hardeners should be capped at 1 IMO like afterburners and nitro I mean tanks are so extreme at this point there is no need for armor plates on armor tanks or shield extender on shield tanks Now this is where I can disagree . They need shield extenders and extra armor .

Tanks have a few levels where they're VERY MILDLY overpowered. The biggest problem is that AV is horribly UNDERPOWERED, which makes it look like Tanks are OP when in fact the problem is on the other side of the fence. Buff AV first, THEN look at nerfing the tanks if they still need it.

The third high/low actually makes you a significantly greater threat. It's the difference between being out-DPSed by my Particle Cannon and having comparable DPS (at least until I pop my own damage mod, but that's what you have friends for!) Basically it gives you dramatically more options. You'd never dream of running a nitrous on a Sica; not enough tank, (or gank, I guess) otherwise.

Jake Diesel BIG BAD W0LVES Canis Eliminatus Operatives 120	Posted - 2014.03.24 18:19:00 - [54] - Quote 1.) 5% increase to the damage of AV weapons (all ranges, charge/rof, etc stay the same) 2.) Decrease effectiveness of shield hardeners to 50%, and Armour Hardeners to 35%. 3.) Increase by 5-10% the fitting requirements of Hardener units. 4.) Implement a system like the Cloak Cooldown whereby Hardeners cannot be consecutively activated. Once a hardener activates it runs its duration and starts a hardener cool down cycle equivalent to half of that activated modules cool down timers before another hardener can be activated. The following should not be implemented at once but equally considered as a possible solution to quickly and temporarily fix the situation. This de-incentivising stacking hardeners but doesn't prevent it, reinforces the nature of waves of opportunity and allows AV to capitalise on such weaknesses which not directly buff or nerf AV and tanks respectively. [/quote] You forgot to add "decreased tank speed" to your list. Tanks are too fast. Since 1.7, speed has attributed greatly to the survivability of tanks. Which in turn, has created a "solo" mentality among tankers and they no longer rely on infantry support. They've become the most effective hit-n-run vehicles out there, and yet they are the most powerful and heaviest of them all. Any tanker who doesn't acknowledge their speed as an issue is just trying to keep things in there favor. Two full proto assault forgers cannot drop a standard HAV with just one hardener activated due to their speed alone. They're long gone before any serious damage is done. 80%-90% of the time this is how tanks survive. And I ask why? Speed should not be the tanks main source of survivability. Slow down tanks and they will start to rely on infantry support.
