IMO there are 2 things that are broken about tanks.

Large railguns. High alpha damage AND high dps is just too good.
Overdrive booster-thingie. I tried it and Loled. It's stupidly powerful. Is this module that makes tank invincible as they can just turn it on and run at ridiculous speed.

Cut the overdrive speed bonus by 30-40% (maybe even 50%) and tanks will be fine, good tankers will plan ahead their escape and scrubs will just die.

THANK YOU.

You've said pretty much the only thing I've seen rationally said about vehicles being OP for months; no more, no less.

Evidently, our dear Saberwing has yet to bother to listen to these things in (sh)he's- now-historical contest, and after an extended period of barely-disguised overt laziness on the part of the CCP devs, now decides to try to assuage our ("casual gamers''") eminently-reasonable fears regarding any obviously-empty platitudes to the contrary.

I might hope that this could serve as a wake-up call about the incompetence among the devs at CCP (which extends well beyond the glaringly-persistent imbalance-into-ridiculous-recent-apologies by an oft-quoted and questionally-revered elite sometimes known as "IWS"), but, apparently, multiple months of "vacation" have done-little to establish the reality of this anything known as balance,, except that those moments in which "IWS" and others continue to defer toward a defense of a depend on substantive grounds beyond their own self-aggrandizement, which just so happen not to exist as far as I've been able to tell in scientific trans.

I suppose I shouldn't aggrandize myself just now, but I do feel some entitlement so far as I have been a player whose patience has already exceeded that of the 'normal' gamer upon which you (CCP!) might expand your revenues to a reasonable level, and so far as someone who might or might not have funneled similar revenues to your doorstop in the belief that you don't entirely suck at your jobs:
You suck at your jobs.

I can't possibly be the least invested in the fate of DUST 514, considering the hours I have given to it, and I can't possibly be the only one out of patience with how the development of this game has gone, considering the tenor of the forums in general since I decided to stop playing, and in consideration of those two things, I can tell you that I have no future even nearly-comparable to that of EVE's, and that you'd likely be better-off listening to anyone other than the members of your vaunted CPM and their respective sycophants than you would a community calling for other obvious changes and not massaging your undeserved egoes.

u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll.

With my 15m sp spent I have better cooldowns and some small quality of life improvements but nothing that gives any edge over 0 sp tanks in a head on fight. well thats the trick tho is to not go head on with a rail tank. it's really the only counter to a 15m DS.. this guy ran out of swarms on my hovering grimness so i landed and massholed him if you get over the tank then you can own it especially with a gunner. there hasn't been much tank tonight u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll. forum warrior .189
