can we seriously get some mechanics with tanking that reward skill of the player over just pointing and shooting everything to death and then running away like a coward the moment something hits you?
I mean why are tanks even in the game? what do tanks add to the battlefield strategically? there are no barricades in the game that we need big tank guns to break through
maps are so small tanks are equivalent to fat passengers in airplanes, they just take up space.
when has a tank ever won a battle? hacked a point?
aside from the very few truly skilled tankers who have had the ingenuity and savvy to be useful, tankers are just scrubby no gun game k/d padders who don't belong in this game.
please ccp either remove tanks or give them something useful to do. |

please ccp either remove tanks or give them something useful to do. You make fair points but I like to think I help in our FW syncs being the hammer blow alongside two squad mates that nicks off with the enemy home letter and holds up their entire team before more that 2 mins have passed. That certainly helps win. Though to be fair I drive more as an MAV than an HAV.
I'm glad you see where I'm coming from, I have always respected your forum warrioring ( I know that's not a word but you know what I mean)
I would love to see tanks that don't need to try to find a purpose for themselves... a clear cut purpose would add so much depth not just to tanking but the entire game. |

I'm going to sit on top of a cat walk with 3 triage hives in a stacked gal scout you get to be on the bottom in a squishy suit your a coward if you run.
I never run... my kdr is proof of that. |

this is what I'm talking about....
now if we had ever got the installations on the maps as something we could purchase and deploy that would give context to your running around blowing stuff up
it would make you more useful for sure. |

Boot Booter wrote:I disagree. Tanks play an important role in pushing and maintaining open objectives. Your role as a tanker should be to clear other vehicles then help infantry take and maintain objectives. If you maintain vehicle superiority at the enemies' home objective you're almost guaranteed to win.
Any more question?
but this is exactly the problem... tanks only real purpose on the field is to kill other tanks.... if there were no tanks on the field to begin with then theres no point in them at all...
dropships can surpress infantry too...so can other infantry... even a well equipped lav....
but all those things I mentioned also provide other useful functions, like transport, access to rooftops, hacking stuff, etc etc...
besides infantry suppression and killing tanks, what else do tanks do that is solely their domain? |

Well considering your the type of person to do that due to lack of skill why should I not believe your serious
exactly what type of person have you pegged me for?
the kind that doesn't take gaming more serious than life?
the kind that uses video game stature as a means to stroke my epeen?
the kind of person that lives in a basement with only 2 hobbies (both require a joystick)?
how does something I do or don't do in a very unpopular game give you such clairvoyance?
I only wish I could read people as well as you do.

Im not asking for them to be removed as much as I'm asking for ccp to make them more useful....you're a bit defensive eh? |

well... you listened, you must be part of my delusion...
anyway I already said they do this....so does everything else.
what role do tanks fill, that only tanks can fill? |
