Seymour KrelbornX Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 577	Posted - 2014.07.15 20:09:00 - [1] - Quote 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.

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. "Your Faith stands as a shield for the Faithful, and you are one of His Angels." - Soren Tyrhannos to Templar Ouryon

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.

FG's typically use the high ground because it's the smart thing to do and it gives the clear advantage to the FG who can just stack damage mods take a little damage and then pop out a few seconds later full shields and pop the tank because you can pop most tanks in just about 1 clip similarly to how a gal scout on the high ground can achieve high regen reasonably high HP and deal massive amounts of damage to a weak suit. Well maybe I went a little over board with the analogy. Tanker/Logi 0 The number of 7ucks given

Same thing with my ads, except I have to watch for rammers and missile tanks 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 Escrow Removal and Acquisition Dark Taboo 685	Posted - 2014.07.15 22:37:00 - [13] - Quote 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? What happened to the repair tool glow? Why won't CCP answer? Conspiracy?

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?

I only wish I could read people as well as you do.
Takahashi Kashuken Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 132	Posted - 2014.07.16 10:23:00 - [24] - Quote Running away as soon as something hits you So you want all pilots to just stay still and die? I could stay still and let a cloaked RE scout come behind me and place 3 on the weakspot and spam AV nades at me Or let a JLAV hit me Or let a SL user hit me Or let a FG user hit me Or let another vehicle come a destroy me The only defence a tank has now is mobility since blasters are useless for defence from infantry attacks since it misses every shot, lolmissiles have no splash and direct is a lucky hit, railgun just is meh and the turret is too slow to move You made vehicles useless, deal with it
