Its hard to take you seriously when your default reaction is to defend tanks regardless of balance issues. Most vehicle users I know about clearly see the problem with nearly indestructible permanently repairing vehicles. You can never recognize that something works too well when it comes to vehicles.

Before 1.7, blasters still worked, and I still experienced battles where they went 20/0 because of how easy it is to get kills with. If small turrets are that ineffective against anti-infantry, then the reasonable thing to do would be to buff them (small blasters require more dispersion, its too hard to hit infantry with them in a moving vehicle); small turrets generally match the killing power of infantry weapons, so its a far more fair scenario. What is NOT the reasonable thing to do is allow an extremely powerful to effortlessly slaughter everything in its path. I am not proposing that large blasters be nerfed, or that they should become unable to kill infantry, I am proposing a change of role by giving them much more damage, and less rate of fire. Large blasters should be the best close range AV turret, and still retain much of their infantry-killing potential, but just less of it.

While I doubt it will truly be the "only real answer to vehicles", I will give it a read.

@Takashiro Kashuken: I do like the idea of having capacitors in Dust, as well as more varied modules to increase the diversity of vehicle fits on the battlefield. I also very much the idea of stasis webifiers, and neutralizers at the hands of infantry. All skills should indeed have bonuses.

@Harpyja: I think we have fundamentally different views of what large blasters should be like. Also, I commented on your earlier post as well on the previous page.
