I'm a tanker and I'm happy with hot fix bravo.

Tankers like you are something of a cancer to this game and the only best way to get rid of your type is to buff AV even more.

Basic summary goes for this thread:

'I'm a stupid tanker and I want to farm infantry kills and it's no fair that I can lose my tank.

And.

Tanks should be the only viable thing to kill another tank'

As much as I like to advocate multiple people taking down a tank what he's saying and complaining about kind of makes you wonder what his IQ is and BTW the CEO of Tankers United is probably one of the worst tankers in DUST.

Yes, hmm, yes they are.

Oh ****, I'm a tanker........ slash forge gun on the side

So this whole thread is nothing but a tanker whining and crying that AV is to OP.

Lets break this sh!t down

AV

1) All nades have been nerfed so you can only carry 1 or 2 max and so they are so weak that they can't even hurt a mlt tank

2) Swarms have been nerfed to the point that you need proto with as many damage mods as you can use to do any damage

3) Forges have been nerfed so that unless you get a direct hit a tank driver will laugh at you while tearing you up with his blasters and you need 3-4 proto forges to make a tank retreat.

Tanks and ADS

1) You have so much hp that you dont need to care about 1 or 2 AV players, especially with heavy repers

2) You can sit in the red line or behind the red line and get 20-30 kills with a large rail gun and not even worry about AV, and ADS can fly so high that you can barely even see them

3) You have hardeners and speed mod that make it so that unless you have a person from the Short Bus driving you can escape any and all attempts to use AV against you


All in all i would say that any tankers or ADS users should stop b!tching about CCP fixing a skill that was broken just to give us AV users any kind of fighting chance against you tankers that stack plates and repers and laugh at the people who even try and destroy your tank or ADS.

When are you tankers and ADS b!tches gonna stop whining and crying about losing a tank, when CCP makes it so that tanks and ADS are the only means of playing the game because nothing can kill them?

When are you b!tches gonna stop ruin the game for everyone else? Because of tanks and ADS ambush got so messed up they had to ban vechieles of any kind, they took out logi LAV and there is no plans to add them back into the game because all you vechile drivers abused them to the point they had to remove them.

If you idiot tank drivers don't stop your whining and crying and b!tching they will end up taking all the tanks and drop ships and lavs out of them game completely, then wtf you tankers gonna do? Because every one and their mother already knows that you only got into tanking and ads because you can't get any kills with any of the light or heavy or side arm weapons in the game so you had to start using the only thing that you can get kills with.

Your I missle tanker I would see why. You are completely unaffected on top of that your running with proto stompers 24/7 who know how to deal with AV sadly I don't want nor have that luxury

I was affected somewhat because even though I'm a shield missile tanker first I also run armor tanks and it is a bit harder hitting infantry with my ion cannon but I thinks it's completely fair after all my tanks are set up for tank v tank anyway I leave the infantry to my gunners and I'll pick some people off here and there. Also come on panda it's your own fault you wouldn't have been affected so much if you didn't rely so much on triple damage mod railguns and triple rep maddy's.

Some proto suits cost 200-280k ISK, so losing a tank that cost roughly the same makes half the community laugh at your ignorance.

Secondly. Your tank can rush into a group and murder just about anyone in one or two hits. You're OP right from the start. It takes 2-3 good AV guys to kill you in your tank. These people are generally working together and lose several suits in the process (kills you get).

What's the problem? There aren't many players that can go 1 vs 3 and make it out alive. Plus, if you can't handle it learn to move in and out and learn to strike when you know there are NO AV then recall your tank when AV arrives and kill them sending them back to their light weapons.

FYI, I lose a dropship just about every match that's roughly 600k ISK so don't cry about losing a 200k tank.

I told you bud I have two on my rail not 3 :P over kill is such a waste. M triple rep maddys were for the AV that didn't know how to leave my rail tank alone when it wasn't even messing with them. now if your trying to say im a blaster stomper does 9000 kills in the past 1 years sound like a blaster stomper to you? my deaths btw are just now hitting 2000

dude it took 4 AV to push me back permanently back. WITH NO DAMAGE MODS OR PROF AND THIS IS JUST OF ADV LVL. imagine what prtoto variant's do with all their damage amps and max prof and stacked numbers for some reason my team gets redline by AV all the time how. Idk xD

so I " hope more people read this "

Threads like this are so funny and delicious.
Teamwork to take out 1 player? No should not be required. You want to be uber get your team to help.
Tanks running rogue (aka solo) should be easy pickings for AV weapons.
Here is the thing AV weapons are great at taking out vehicles (shocked gasp OH MY) the only av weapon that can also take out infantry is the forge gun and its not great at that given its very limited clip / carry.

If you want to speak of "real life" ever since the advent of armor and armored vehicles there have been methods to take them out usually by a single weapon and very often used by 1 soldier maybe 2. In modern days there are many types of man portable anti armor weapons, many of which are guided.

So in short HTFU.

Thrilled to see we're still going strong!

One man vs tank

oh since were apply real life into dust514 logic I should be able to kill you all with this huge blaster turrent in one shot right? or kill you instantly with a headshot with any kind of gun hell kill you in a few shots with a AR


so lets all start applying real world logic to games now :D

There's a reason why armor exist....

I'm going to say this straight up.

You literally go into matches, pull out your tank, and run over other friendlies LAV's.

At some point, a scrub like you and your opinion is 100% worthless. I will repeat this on every thread you ever start.

what do you call than hard stuff on maddy smart ass :D

While this looks like a flame thread at first, a detailed reading leads me to believe it is in fact genuine. This character is from May 2013, and has a realistic corp history including tankers unite. SO lets at least start with a fair reading and response. And Im guessing my posting will summon Taka to the thread, and I apologise in advance for that.

So you propose that it take 4 people several minutes to kill a tank. In other words the entire enemy team running nothing but dedicated AV to destroy 4 players on your team in tanks, leaving the other 12 to run anti infantry? How does this one point seem realistically fun for all involved?

ide like to point out something here


IF CCP would just keep good on their word of pilot suits....

and then make them stackable...so 3 people ina 3 turrent tanks got 3 pilot suit bonus's...and equate that strength ...to be able to survive 2-3 av it would be acceptable...as 3 dedicated pilots manning a tank in pilot suits should be able to hold up to av of that level.

this is also thinking and assuming ccp realized that in order to make this work they would have to move away from pilot suit's enhancing the killing potential of an hav...and towards pilot suits enhancing the defensive abilities of the hav.

..oh btw my fix entails new content and coolness to dust so wont happen...


you cant balance dust based on isk price

you can balance it on manpower

i was under the understanding that the original concept of vehicles was pilot suits would make them powerful...

i would like so see pre bravo tanks...back....but only if there are 3 pilot suits sitting in that tank making it take 2- 3 proto avers

the main issue is one person should not have to have 3 people counter them ...especially ina 16 person teammode fps

See I just... don't I... don't... understand... WHY CAN YOU PEOPLE NOT GET IN YOUR OWN TANKS TO TAKE ON OTHET TANKS? oh wait... I know why. because you don't spec into them... why? because you want to put all your SP into your dedicated proto stomp. :) and tanks are always in the way of you getting to stomp new players aren't they ? :(

I don't even have proto. You need to make up your mind, are you Duna's buddy who stomps worse than any other protostomper or are you the hero of the little guy?

Personally I can't tell if you are a troll or just delusional or both.
