I am a returning tanker, just started playing again this week, but long time blaster user. I'll be honest, I prefer to tangle with other tanks over infantry with my blaster. I've found it actually pretty easy to take out either missile tanks or rail tanks with my blaster as long as they don't have back up.
As for blasters as force multipliers, when not trying to deal with enemy tanks, I have noticed it can be difficult sometimes depending on the behavior of infantry. The reason I say this as I have noticed this week that most of the maps now have tons of cover that infantry can use to both protect an objective and to move from objectives sometimes. So it depends if they are moving in the open or if they are using the cover provided. If they are in the open, I do my best to help my sides infantry in what they do best, killing each other. If the enemy is in cover or where I can't shot at, I will just take pot shots and patrol to help prevent enemy reinforcements from getting to the area.
Just my two cents.
PS: I have noticed that infantry AV has mostly become a harassment tool which I find is still effective in driving off a tank. All be it with more effort than it used to need to just destroy HAV's. |

I recently went to Minmitar Commando since i alredy had maxed out prof 5 mass driver and prof 5 swarm launchers (before they were nerfed last time) and i do kill alot of tanks since the new patch, but if its a dual hardner gunloggi i cant even scratch the dmn thing! but the points i get off the dmg i do is worth the isk id say.
I've always hated playing ambush myself. But with the huge number of people running tanks, especially milita tanks, ambush has been a pretty good place to get a nice tank battle. No where near as good as in the other two modes but it can happen. Still hate ambush though.
I don't know, I've never found killing infantry in large numbers to be very fun for me, only if they through themselves at me. Its the tank on tank love that I love and crave. |

They should go down when a missile or railgun tank so much as looks at them in an appropriate engagement. That's not true and shouldn't be because your mechanics would cause them to be weak against stationary turrets as well as anything that's not a meat-bag . All large turrets should be able to confront each other while some having a noticeable advantage over others . I can appreciate the way that it is now even more with the distance change for the large rail guns .
I agree with you completely. Every large turret should be able to compete with each other but with different bonuses as to what they are best against. |
