Hello everyone, may I ask you something?
Would you all please be so nice that you NEVER AGAIN USE RL THINGS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DUST?
I keep hearing stupid things like:
"a minigun in rl destroys everything"
"a tank in rl is unkillable"
We dont give a duck about rl things, we are balancing a game, it has nothing to do with real life.
Thank you.
That depends currently Rattati is talking about Tank in a thread and the roles they might have...... well the days where tanks had roles is long since passed.
The time when specific armoured vehicles had roles was last century such as the Mobile Anti Aircraft Gun, the Light and Medium Cruiser Tanks, Tank Destroyers, and Heavy Infantry Tanks.....
In order to explain what that means real world examples must be provided.
For example the Marauder is more of less what a PzKpfw VI .H or a KV-85 was. Big, slow, and hard to knock out.
The Enforcer is what a Jagdtiger or ISU-122 was. A large gun mounted on a self propelled hull.
Etc.
In many respects I understand what you mean when you say this. It is not real world mechanics that are being applied here......but in order to determine roles, functions, etc we may draw from what we know.

That aside, I believe that RL situations does need to be applied to certain areas (ie, we should still be affected by gravity) but at the same time using RL situations to guage how powerful an item should be is terrible.
I doubt there has ever been a conflict in history where more Tanks have been lost than infantrymen.......

Tanks are on the endangered military list of platforms thanks to high precision missiles and how penetrators and armor defeaters are quickly outpacing tank defenses.
Pretty much.
