Seriously.. What is their role?
In a pc fight all vehicles ever do is drive around the map taking out all the turrets raking up points and avoiding the battle up to mid-end game and even then they are of not much help. They just farm wp safely in professional matches for an ob...
In pubs? What is there role? Seriously? They have never been balanced at all... They are either OP or UP. No proto versions yet we have proto weapons. How the hell are we supposed to achieve true balance like that?
Heavy suits = tanks. Primarily defensive guard units. Logi = Support players. They can range from medics to uplinkers to scanners ect. Assaults = your killers. Scouts = your speed kings. They can easily and quickly get from point to point to both attack or defend. They also favor a stealth style of gameplay. Commandos = good for av as you can hold another primary weapon. Also good for snipers to have another primary weapon. But also good for a variety of roles. Those who know how to play them to their potential are usually quite skilled.
At least this is how I see it but tanks?? *gets hit by one swarm launcher, goes to run and hide* wastes time repping and waiting for modules to recover. Why not keep defending? "Because I dont wanna lose millions of isk QQ. So I am going to hide for half the game because I am risking so much and not really help out at all. I can't do much of anything to help out at the objectives unless I am OP and can destroy eveyrthing in my sights.
Vehiclists are some of the biggest babies....But these are just my opinions.
I am open to your thoughts. Are you a vehiclist? what is your role on the battlefield? What do you believe your role should be? Can you succesfully fill your role? How do you help the gameplay of an actual match? this is your one chance to prove me wrong. I am listening... |

Vehicles in this game really should be for huge maps with huge battles where vehicles are much more important and effective.
Right now they are kind of meh and do provide support but with these small maps they don't have much to go to.
There is no reason to remove then however lol.

All of these responses and I still have not received any answers to my questions... I bolded them for a reason. I am giving you guys a chance to state your case. If this is the best all of you can do then it only reinforces my belief that they should be removed. |

ADS play a key in removing high-ground presence, keeping AV busy and being pesky as **** to deal with.
LAVs get people from point to point in pubs.
Tanks are pretty much useless. You only use tanks to kill other tanks or to help support homepoint. They have their small uses, but their not really..useful.
The blasters need to be fixed. The dispersion rate just makes it..not fun. It needs to be very effective in CQC, but the dispersion rate needs to increase with range. It's a ******* tank for Chirst's sake, but it's like a spray gun in close quarters.
And remove militia tanks. If tanks are good, they should be expensive. There shouldn't be a tank less expensive than a proto suit.
Only loyal to the republic.

I agree with this 100%. They are useless. I don't see why tankers don't want to come here and answer my questions on what they believe their role should be and if they are able to do it right now. They are too raged because I said to remove them to provide any kind of feed back. Perhaps they know what I say is true but they should also know that this is their chance to tell CCP what should be done to tanks to give them an actual role. |

Blasters are still very useful. All tanks as well as ADS still do a good job of one really useful thingGǪ they make people move!

Sure tanks don't currently have a role.
This doesn't mean they shouldn't have one.

I wouldnt call myself a vehiclist but I have started to regularly fly a dropship that is outfitted to replace the logi DS of old. High Tank, High Rep, CRU, and decent guns. Plus its fun to squish people

Surprised True hasn't came climbing out of his golden HAV dreams.
Here, let me give you a reason.
ADS: To destroy uplinks and those who will lay more.
DS: To transport players from A to B and sometimes to R. (Rooftops :p)
HAV: To suppress infantry, destroy vehicles that pester their team and such.
LAV: To transport players from A to B. Also for fun.
I am a Calscout Knifer so HAVs are kinda important to me. They help their team feel bulletproof and run into doorway where I wait, and when they fail, they become a tasty snack. Removing them would destroy this whole ecosystem.
EDIT: He has... but was very disappointing.

With their current low cost their role should be area denial and AV. Not area supremacy. If we went back to the old tanks worth 2mil+ ISK then i would agree that they should have supremacy over a battlefield

If HAV's role is to destroy other vehicles then do you think it should be easier for them to target dropships? I mostly just see take out other tanks or lavs. |

Turret Structures getting a health buff was a start...
It lets tankers have a place of contention.. And some time and an actual need if a turret is manned as it can wreck an entire area...
The problem? Turrets are put in some of the worst stupidest spots that could of been thought of..... It's like who put them there never really saw the game in action...
If there was only a Few Static Turret Infrastructures on the map, but put in very very effective general high traffic locations...
Then these turrets had relative decent A.I that tracked Vehicles primarily but otherwise infantry too..... Then infantry would be forced to use tankers or sacrifice significant Infantry to AV aspirations...
Turrets should be check points in maps... For both Infantry and Vehicles... They should be points of contention just like a CRU or supply depot...
Then have Turret Infrastructures Be able to be called in by players for a set amount of war points.... Allow Turret installations to have fittings and be purchasable on the market...
This would cause a need in tactics for Tankers in general to properly push a majority of objectives.... Or points of interest... Also would allow them to have a cost reduction depending on how the performance is balanced.
Give us Racial Large Weapons on Turrets... Amarr Giant Lasers, Minmatar Artillery... etc. |
