lolno its nowhere near

Vehicles are completely ****** and with dropsuits they keep screwing up 1 to fix the other one while making one basically OP and a better choice than the rest

Wrong again

Tanking was much better in the old 1.0 days

I adapted to 1.7 and then as usual the buff nerf cycle began except we have less skills with less bonuses with less modules with less hulls and with less turrets and still no adv/proto hulls or even racial parity so its even worse than 1.0 days even with the 400 invisible SL which went around 4 diff corners

Balance in Chromosome=calogi+Tac AR or don't even try

I would rather deal with roof top scrubs with 500m swarms than have pointless rail tanks, ineffective blaster tanks and all the fitting variations of a Model T Ford.

When did Cat Merc become a whiny *****?

Do I look like Taka or Spkr?

So then don't try that oversimplification bullshit with me. You want to have a rational discussion on vehicle balance, we can do that.

Oh bollocks I was thinking of Uprising. It was lasers that were the posterboy for Chromo 'balance'.

Doubt all you want, it was better and apparently will always be better than what we will have. Tanks were actually fun back then.

You mean you don't know how to instantly take out tanks now? I thought everyone knew it since day one of 1.7. I guess there still are some stupid/ignorant people out there.

I need my shorter range higher damage variant. Oh wait thats gone.

I'll call in my long range lower damage variant, nope they took that one to.

I wish CCP would pull the same stunt with all the infantry weapons.

I'd like to see how much of a fuss you would put up.

Tanks were fun when it took one dude with a Swarmer to pop a 1.5 Million ISK HAV, when correct module application could make you incredibly hard to destroy but your down times were obvious, when our fire power wasn't gimped to appease a player base since we'd drop like flies, when tank battles required more skill than ALPHA STRIKE.

I miss 1.3.............. I miss Enforcers....... I miss Marauders.

I still believe that the Rail Rifle could use a slight damage nerf (around 2-3 damage), and a 50-75% increase in dispersion. For a weapon that is intended for long range, it's operates far too well in CQC. For the intention of balance, it should either be good at one thing or another, not both.

For a weapon, it's too well rounded in performance and its ease to use.

Well then you didn't think my original statement through completely. Maybe you shouldn't jump the gun and get critical if you don't understand the point being made.

Or you can go the internet route and keep jumping to conclusions.

Who needs coordinated AV when single AV infantry can take out a whole team of vehicles solo?
LAV triple forge is not instant kill, not on every scenario.

I suppose the most used instant kill would be jihad jeep.
In fw you can just put a bunch of proxies and remotes to a spot where you know a tank will surely drive over and will be unable to see them there. There isn't a single tank in the game that can survive 20k+ instant damage.
Against dropships just wait till they are close to a building and pick any AV weapon and kaboom. Or just use flaylock, because, you know, who needs AV to take out vehicles instantly?
I could go on but I won't. But I could. But I won't. Did I mention luring them to certain parts of the maps where they instantly explode, resulting in a very hilarious "Player X commited suicide"...

I thought everyone knew it since day one of 1.7.
