Why do people want to see tanks changed every single patch? Because they serve no purpose in gameplay.

There is absolutely nothing a tank can do that an assault suit cannot. A tank is just an overpowered slayer in Dust and that is it.

Tanks want to be buffed and non-tankers want them nerfed and that is the entire story of the tanking since chromosome.

If tanks were removed from the game nothing would change, can't really say that about any other vehicle in the game.

So if tankers really want to exist outside of being an overpowered slayer? Then we reduce AV vs tanks by 90% and large turrets vs infantry by 90%. If tanks are really more than just a tool for players who want god mode then this change should be completely fine with tankers.

Keep your self serving bullcrap to yourself. Because with that kind of "reasoning" nothing serves "a purpose", and everything is moot.

As a (try-hard) tanker, I am not looking for a buff. I am however looking for a better SP-to-advantage model for tanks. So damage mods that give better %-es based on level. And hardeners that not work not only longer, but also give a better damage reduction.

This was the single greatest post I've ever seen.

"I don't want a buff for tanks, i just want them to do more damage and be harder to kill."

Roll

Reading comprehension would serve you well. You know, trying to "connect the dots." Let me help you: If someone (me) states a buff isn't needed, and specifies a better advantage for leveling up is needed, wouldn't that mean the maxed out level is the current level, and the other tiers are a lesser version of the current?

Spoiler: Yes, yes it would.

Look, what he indirectly addressed was how some Large Turrets are perfectly effective against infantry, and none of them should be.

Killing infantry in any way should be the realm of Small Turrets, while Large ones are capable of killing infantry only be sheer dumb luck or incredible skill in aiming.

That being said: the Large Blaster needs to fire projectiles like the other Large turrets, and not be hitscan as it is right now.

You should need to fit Small Turrets and have them manned if you want to defend yourself from infantry.

I am a tanker, by the way, so don't even try and make that argument you were going to make (you know who you are).

The fact that railgun technology is purely Caldari based tech in DUST is also just stupid. Specially when missiles are in game. Railgun tech was Gallente's... The Moros the Gallente Dreadnought Uses Railguns. Where the Phoenix the Caldari Dreadnought uses Missiles. Caldari are a missile tech based Race. Railguns and their main use and implementation on the battlefield has always been the gallente. It wasn't until CCP added t3 Battleships and the Caldari's Rokh... Over half a decade later that Caldari really ever entered a competent railgun user. "Other then the Eagle HAC that has been nerfed into oblivion. Hybrid Technology has always been Gallente.

Where a Heavy Machine gun and a Shotgun is this giant generalized Circle. Tanks And Vehicles are How big compared to infantry? Anyone starting to see how absolutely stupid this is?
