Do you think there's ever such a thing as too many tanks? because I think there is, and its certainly less than 6. I would feel differently if this game was a true MMO with open worlds and massive player counts, but 6 tanks on a 16 player team is too much.
Do you think its fair that 6 LAVs and 6 tanks are equivalent in tactical value? because if not, I don't think it is right that they should draw from the same resource pool since it will mean there is one strategy (lots and lots of tanks) that is generally always preferable.

On most map/socket configurations having 6 tanks on a team actually weakens the team, because it does not leave enough infantry to control the points. It is almost as bad as having 6 sippers. There are of course some map configurations were enough of the objectives are in the open where tanks can defend the objectives directly and 6 tanks are advantageous.

I have had to hoof it into town in my Sentinel suit on occasion because the vehicle limit had been reached, so I know as well as anyone how frustrating it can be when you canGÇÖt call in a LAV.

I find that when a team has 1 or 2 tanks out, that Infantry mainly try to avoid them, except for the dedicated AV. Once you get to 4 tanks, large portions of the other team switch to AV and tanks start dying very quickly. This usually leads to tankers who also have skills in dropsuits switching to Infantry roles. I think this would be even more effective if Swarms got a 12% buff to range and damage, but otherwise Vehicles vs AV seem fairly well balanced now that Hardeners have been nerfed.

It is also important to consider new tankers, who are specializing in tanks, and have no points in Infantry skills. If they canGÇÖt call in a tank they are sort of screwed, as they are not going to do very well in a Frontline or Medic starter suit.

i have no major issue with tanks. only specific areas ill have a problem with but. id rather be up against 6 tanks rather than having to face another one of those stupid proto scrub stomp matches...1st off.. stupid and boring as hell..2nd. cant make any progress. and lastly. impossible to avoid.. unlike with facing 6 enemy tanks. im able to get around the map. i have some breathing room and plenty of places to take cover from tanks. and plenty of places to launch a counter as well. i can still make progress as well. they are merely an obstacle u will face in battle.. and its an easy to overcome obstacle as well. unlike those proto stomp scrub squads.


my latest and possibly last ambush for the year involved going up against nothing but gk0s with proto combat rifles.

yeah its really great that 2 tanks only extended the 20 second spambush match by ten seconds...
