Agreed, but remember that you would still be able to use the tank for the many wonderful benefits that a tank provides, just not use the gun and drive simultaneously. It would still serve as a protective sheath by which no harm can come to you. .

A standard tank in BF 4 could take two or three rockets , depending on the weapon which fired it before being into immobilised state, requiring another rocket or two depending on which armour side you hit. Might take 1 shot to immobilise and tank with a shot to rear armour...... in same way you can 2 shot a tank with a rear shot. "Get thine Swag out of my face!

Its never going to be a good idea. No successful shooter with acclaimed vehicle mechanics has broken up piloting and gunning.....why? Because doing that simply is not enjoyable....for anyone.

The point isnt how many shots it takes to destroy the tank but that your overall effectiveness isnt inherently gimped if you choose to engage one and that by immobilizing it you reduce its threat level as opposed to hitting the enemy in the back once and him activating his reps while you recharge or relock and popping his after burner to zoom off out of range and to safety One is an example of something being dangerous but having weaknesses that can be exploited, the other is an example of broken BS and personally I would much rather have the first in this game I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world.

R F Gyro Clones 4u 1333	Posted - 2014.04.28 21:36:00 - [37] - Quote Tanks are clearly too strong at the moment; this is evident from the need to arbitrarily limit them in Ambush. At some point CCP will nerf them and they'll become too weak. Then the cycle will begin again. The HAV / AV balance will swing back and forth forever, as far as I can tell, because it is simply impossible for CCP to find a middle ground that both sides are happy with. This is because tank drivers believe they should be more powerful than infantry, because of ISK spent and "its a tank". Infantry, on the other hand, see one player with a massive speed, HP and DPS advantage over other players, in a game where the most scarce resource in any battle is the 16 players per side. The OP is a sensible suggestion for how to break this cycle, by balancing HAV vs AV around 3 players on each side. I agree, however, that CCP are very unlikely to implement it.

It may take a years worth of real life training time to be able to undock like that, but it is doable by a single individual Are you seriously comparing a titan to a tank? A titan costs roughly 80bil ISK, which even in EVE is a boat load of isk. More than most players could even come close to. It takes years to train to fly one and months to build. Most importantly you will NEVER see a player solo in a titan, unless they are complete idiots. Titans are only used when there is a massive fleet to support them. Tanks on the other hand are cheap, even by dust standards. They are easy to train, easy to use and do not require support. Tankers feel it is fair and balanced that it requires teamwork to kill them. Yet they cringe at the very idea of a tank requiring teamwork. This proves tankers want their easy mode to stay a solo mode, regardless of how unbalanced it is. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.
Byozuma Kegawa Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 243	Posted - 2014.04.28 22:07:00 - [44] - Quote Back to the issue of tanks and gunners you have to understand that practically all of those other FPS mentioned the tanks are a fixed spawn. They will almost always spawn where they spawn (unless a troll on the other team takes them all and hides them in their base). As such there is no personal risk in it's loss. So in those games it makes sense to have the gunner and driver as separate roles to promote teamwork. In Dust there are NO fixed spawn vehicles. None. Every vehicle was bought and paid for by a player. As such each one is a personal investment and the last thing they likely want is to lose it because they switched to the turret only to have some random player jump behind the wheel and drive it off into the sunset (forgegun fire/redline). The teamwork dynamic is still there as anyone can switch to AV without too much trouble forcing the tanker to maintain a support presence. If vehicles in Dust were a fixed spawn I'd be all for driver and gunners, but they aren't so having the roles be made distinct would be a detriment to those who want to drive tanks.

If you have not seen the recent report on the monthly purchases of HAV you would see that several months prior to 1.7 the monthly sales will in the low thousands..... AV could very easily and game breakingly deny all vehicles their basic roles from positions that were entirely impossible for vehicle to strike back at, all the while retaining the basic rendering issues at 50+m. When you cannot see where you are being AVed from you cannot counter it, now you all render, so we can hunt you down and counter you. Tankers never QQed for the simplification for modules and fitting, all tankers wanted pre 1.7 was durability fitting our role....which we did not have. "Get thine Swag out of my face!

So a single operator would either drive or use the main gun, but not both simultaneously. Thus to drive and fire the main gun simultaneously would require two crew members. Why does an LAV require a separate driver and gunner, yet an HAV does not? Louis C.K. of course, of course. This has been suggested a few times before, it only makes sense. Although you fail to provide any other reasons only than it makes sense, the idea of 2 people in a tank to operate turret and to drive, it great. If it takes 3-4 people to take down a tank, why is only 1 person occupying their efforts? In a 16v16 match, 3 tanks could occupy a lot of people's effort. It creates a numbers unbalance, regardless of the strength of the tank being OP are not. Number wise, dealing with a tank should be reflective of the tanks strength, but any reasonable person can see a tank would require more than one individual to operate. You can also add modern day tanking, modern day aviation, etc... As examples of how these vehicles should be used and would naturally be used in the future.

If 3 people are required to take down 1 tank, then 3 people would be required to take down 2 tanks. Sure... not simultaneously but it's not like that second tanker is just all of the sudden immune to the AV from those first 3 people. The numbers start to change a bit when you get up to 5-6 tanks though, by that point I would say you need at least 5-6 AV to be able to just alpha down that many tankers.
Alena Ventrallis PAND3M0N1UM Top Men. 1234	Posted - 2014.04.28 23:13:00 - [48] - Quote Separate a heavies ability to move and fire, and you have a deal. This is one of the more ******** ideas the forums spit out from time to time. The problem has been that large blasters shouldn't have been made to kill infantry in the first place. Large turrets should be for killing vehicles, and small turrets should be for killing infantry. The only issue with making the large blaster an AV weapon is the lack of things for them to shoot. Other than blaster tanks and the occasional drop ship, there's really nothing else for AV to kill. Once they release all the types of vehicles (MAVs, heavy drop ships, etc.) then we need to rework large blasters into AV. That's what you get!! - DA Rick

How? If you're moving, you can continue to move out of the LOS of the firing tank. If you're firing, you can shoot at the moving HAV and hope you can kill him before he can swap and kill you. I don't understand how you feel that it relegates combat to "first see, first kill" though I do agree with you that Large Turrets should be totally incapable of AP fire (except for really obvious cases like "He was standing on my HAV right in front of my Turret").

Can you honestly tell me this stop start combat would be enjoyable? Which is why IMHO, it is a better idea to separate the Driver and Main Gunner. It allows both functions to be performed at the same time though it requires more than just one puppykicking jackass with a mouse and keyboard to execute. Note, I am not saying that you are a puppykicking jackass, though we both know that there are more than a few in this community. Arzadu Akbar Motherfuckers!!!! Closed Beta Bittervet Bomber
Lynn Beck Wake N' Bake Inc Top Men. 1577	Posted - 2014.04.29 00:19:00 - [58] - Quote Make large blasters have less range, and make them Anti-tank. Small blasters gain a Cone of fire, and a flat DPS buff. Small rails are pinpoint accurate, and are given a slight Damage buff. Missiles should have their splash radius increased, but damage decreased. Instead of missiles 'aiming' off center, they curve mid-flight. Large missiles should reload Cyclicly, like a shotgun. Large rails should have their RoF dropped significantly, in addition to a 10-15% damage nerf. Rebuff range to 400-450z General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!

Do people even think about the complications of their convoluted ideas? ***** Christ. edit:: Let me elaborate on why this a a terrible idea. What does this solve? Nothing. Now in order for a tank to work it needs too people to operate at the minimum. So what? All you've done is make it so two coordinating people with mics are needed to operate a tank. It's still the same tank. Still the same level of difficulty to take down. It solves nothing. "But tank spam!" But shut the up. Tank spam is so overblown it's *** ridiculous. In the past MONTH of playing Dust I have encountered tank spam literally three times. THREE matches out of several hundred had tank spam. The average for me is around ZERO to TWO tanks per match. Not to mention lone wolf tankers are **. People without a mic are ****. Teamwork should be recommended, but NEVER required just to play a role. YES And i would say the same for the ANTI vehicle roles! why should it take multiple AV players to counter 1 tank effectively? If you want to survive against a proto AV player of any type it should require good fittings on the tank AND smart driving. Right now it does not require either 1 AV player vs 1 tank = 1 laughing tanker.
