Doesn't change the fact that it negates the "waves of opportunity" philosophy CCP had in mind when it came to vehicles.

While I like that they reintroduced WP for vehicle damage by allowing tanks to also get this payout they really just rubbed salt into the wound. CCP obviously decided to let tanks rule 514 for awhile. They can also take out installations in a few seconds. How does that make sense? A ground based hardened installation have 1/3 the HP of something that must be mobile? In a straight up stand your ground and shoot the installation should be able to destroy any tank, but they can't even threaten a tank if the tank sees them.

Not really a problem, but it is broken in a Blaster vs Blaster situation.

- 2 shotted by a rail
- 1 shotted by a missile
- 2-3 simultaneous forge gun shots

If I want to kill a tank, I'll just use my Particle Accelerator. Other forms of AV don't need to work for me unless I feel like gunning down some peps with my CR in the process.

I say REs don't work because only a scrub tanker would let an infantry get within pissing distance of their tank without blowing them to shreds. You can also scan PEs now, so that and the beeping means an RE trap would never kill me.

Unless your fighting a Sica with Base Stats, you won't be OHKing it with even a Prof. V Wyrikomi Breach Forge Gun, and Judge has already proven how broken they are against Swarm Launchers; 80GJ Blasters won't do $#!t unless you've got an Ion Cannon or Damage Modifiers.

That leaves only two things with a moderate chance against a competent pilot, which is a Large Missile Turret or 80GJ Railgun. I only make it look about as easy as it is. Facts Included :D

Nothing CCP ever has in mind works in an FPS.

It works, but not when there's any form of a safe zone.

Lol I said before 1.7 patch notes/blogs were out that the whole thing was a bad idea. But since so many people posted on the forums trying to say pre-1.7 TvT and TvAV was perfect I gave up and waited....and now my tank is a battleship, floating in the tears of the unreasonable >:) .

Perhaps because your blaster isn't meant for AV? And their fit is meant to bring up their defenses against DPS-based weapons such as a blaster?

Your response lost credit when you said that you were using it for AV. It's meant for AI, stop treating it like it should be the best in both worlds.
