really, even one of the biggest trolls has gotten serious for once to talk about tanking?

this issue has gotten worse than before is sota poop is putting his 2 cents in it.

Tankers aren't hurting the game, its the people that want them gone and to turn this into gall of duty that are hurting this game. the universe doesn't revolve around infantry.


MLT tanks I couldn't care less about, they require nothing to use and should be treated and like such. they should have their effectiveness cut down because they are the lowest tier available. price remains the same but effectiveness is cut.

Well, that's the fitting that is surviving, you can't expect everyone to change to a fitting that will let you kill them in less than 5 seconds or so. come one that's unreasonable.

Dropsuits can have up to 3 self rep modules and nobody is complaining about that, why should tanks be any different?

That's like saying dropsuits shouldn't be able to have multiple rep modules fitted on them because it takes to long to kill them with an SMG

What I'm saying is that it would be game breaking if you took away the personalization of classes, it would defeat one of the most valuable purposes this game is about.

If you don't like the fact that a tanker is smart enough to find a way to survive your onslaught of swarms and forges, tuff, this game is about learning and adapting as well as challenging and fun.

To ruin it for one class would mean it is ok to ruin it for every other class including yours. In terms of fairness, the only way it would be fair is if you limited fitting capability of things that added to survivability (Hardeners are an example).

Rep modules are a crucial survival equipment used by every single class and equipment piece, to limit this for one class would mean you need to limit it for every class.

If you don't like that fact, then the best possibility you could hope for would be if they lowered the amount of repping that each module can do when fitted with others of the same type, basically stacking penalty against rep modules, but then again you would need to do this to infantry as well to keep it fair.

when dealing with infantry vs infantry that's how its meant to be.

infanvtry vs vehicles is another argument entirely.

mainly because infantry is so small, why should they be able to take down something many times larger than they are as easily as they take down another infantry player?

so by your logic, you would be ok if we took away your ability to have 3 reps on because you took away ours.

things are broken, I know that, but what isn't broken in some way or another. Cloaks are broken in some way, HMGs are broken in some way, lazrs, ARs and every other thing in the game is broken, it just matter to what extent it will be broken till someone notices.

The AV nades were one of the most broken things before 1.7 hit, but hey at least back then it took skill to be a tanker and the title belonged to a select few of us.

People to what they see is effective for survivability, if you don't like that tankers are smart enough to use this to their advantage then its on you.

Then lets look at a comparison between a selected group of classes.

Heavies & scouts: Heavies can easily over take scouts if they are quick enough to react or if they have a weapon standard for heavies to destroy a scout in seconds, almost nothing help a scout to kill a heave except that it has speed and a shot gun, allowing it to get up close attack and run away quick enough to survive and kill.

Tanks & AV: AV can easily over take tanks if they are smart, intelligent and aware of their surroundings and if they utilize their size against the tank. Tanks have nowhere near as many things helping them counter their "Hard Counter" in order to survive, so the things the do have need to be able to operate to fullest capacity so that it can compensate for lack innovation.

yeah, I haven't tanked since the end of 1.6 so you cant put me in the same crowd as the scrub tankers. Jihad jeeps are ******* funny even for tankers they kill.

We weren't crying because we weren't invulnerable, we never wanted that (Minus those 2 tankers we all know from the forums). The reason tanks were overhauled to our wants was because they weren't worth their prices BECAUSE they were destroyed far too quickly and easily, basically tanks were rarely seen on the battlefield outside of those of us that were already here since closed beta mainly because they were nearly worthless.

when dealing with infantry vs infantry that's how its meant to be.

infanvtry vs vehicles is another argument entirely.

mainly because infantry is so small, why should they be able to take down something many times larger than they are as easily as they take down another infantry player?

1. a hard counter is not meant to completely eliminate all use for a specific class, its there to fight back if the situation calls for it. AV before 1.7 hit was making tanks become useless they weren't fight back, they were eliminating us. theres a fine line that shows the difference between fighting back and eliminating.

2. ISK isn't that big of a deal to me, I get unlimited of it because of pubs, SP is the major point of whether or not something is OP or UP.

3. I don't support P2W if there is real world currency involved IE: the U.S Dollar, the Euro, and whatever else is used to pay for **** in the real world. When it comes to in game currency being used, there is no issue.

4. There was literally no way to counter a tower forge or swarmer, they were out of the ranges of railguns and anything that came close to them was blown out of the sky by a forge not to mentioned that tactic locked down the map to where tanks couldn't roll 5 feet out of the redline without being hit by shots coming fro the sky, the only way to get rid of people on a roof like that is with an orbital which caused a major problem for gameplay and strategy.
