Driving around in the open should be as much of a death trap to tanks as it is to infantry.
Takahiro Kashuken Red Star. 4423	Posted - 2015.03.31 17:12:00 - [2] - Quote 1. It already doesn't shoot straight as it is, if it gets any worse i will miss a HAV at 50m 2. My gunner will jump out and mow you down instead of me 3. So you want it to be slow so you can fire 6 volleys instead of 3 with perfect LOS? Also why do shoot at it when hardeners are up? I can't shoot through cover unlike your SL which can go around several corners and still hit me CCP Rattati - "One giant vehicle nerf with more power to AV", you have got to be kidding...''

So because you yourself are bad at AV, the blaster should get nerfed, simply because you're bad and the person in the tank can aim? Nope.

Driving around in the open should be as much of a death trap to tanks as it is to infantry. Ignore the first two "tankers" that commented. Likely what you ran into is a double hardened, double repped fit. Unless you can pump out the DPS to down it in like 5 seconds, you aren't going to down it. Meaning with just your main weapon alone, it won't die. Double repped with double hardeners is a bit OP atm and hopefully something that will get fixed. But in the meantime, perhaps a bit of advice. I personally don't use a swarm launcher, but I imagine it would work as well. What I have been doing is carrying proxies (remotes work well, just require some manual activation) laying down a trap to provide that initial burst damage. As far as proxies go, predicting a tanks movement is fairly simple. Lay them down across a road, entrance to a city, ect. Tanks can be limited in movement, and flat areas (which a road provides) allow for the maximum movement potential, and a guide for when they have to back out. Watch the tank and note it's movement in and out of an objective, more than likely they will continue to use that same path. Once your trap is down, try to pull them in with hope of an easy kill. Positioning an LAV around a corner provides good bait, or just wait for them to move in. Generally though, I stick close to those proxies. Once that initial burst goes off, AV nades, generally the ones with best range, until you can throw no more and fire your weapon. If they don't go down, I assure you they will be limping away in fear of their life. Use all that's available to you, need a lot of burst damage in a VERY short time frame to kill them, at least until they work out a fix for this. Happy hunting Tanks - Balancing Turrets

A 250k to 300k standard tank, fit with enhanced mods, reppers at the very least, is immune to proto AV weapons and gear, with hardeners up. It doesn't take a pro tank to double rep and double harden.

The only BPO suits that have much survivability against PRO ISK suits are the scouts, because they have REs. Throw an explosive frisbee and voila, dead PRO suit. All the same it takes a 1.2mil ISK tank to survive against the hordes of PRO AV, who unfortunately decide the outcome of a tank battle, because they're cheaper and can take the high ground. It's not fun. I want to battle someone in their tank with my tank, with AV on both sides leaving us alone. That's a real challenge, not two people firing their YOLO PRO swarms at either of us, melting a tank down to its constituent atoms. Nope.

Vyzion Eyri WarRavens 2715	Posted - 2015.04.01 03:50:00 - [24] - Quote Bring back vehicle RR modules, I used to repair tanks with my Prometheus, it was glorious fun, too bad swarms just re-directed to me until I blew up because I had to be so low and flying so carefully to follow the tank. Alternatively, buff vehicle repair tools so tank crews can hop out and repair a tank whilst it's under fire, turning killing a tank into a sort of mini-boss fight where infantry have to kill the logistics repairing the tank, and AV need to wait until hardeners are down to finish it off. Lots of fun ways to make tanks more interesting without the usual brain-dead AV is over/underpowered debate, where the result polarises one side of the community against the other unnecessarily. Did I mention my Prometheus again? I dream of her every second lonely night in my quarters. Oh, my beautiful. > Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

This sounds very reasonable. But what if armor reps had a curve of some sort? Like when they take damage, they do only 50% repair, until x seconds when they return to 100%, like the systems have to start up or something, and then they maintain their 100% rate until no longer needed (x time between last incoming damage) etc. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

True, but immune in a bit of an exaggeration. A single swarmer negate my reps in a Cplx 120mm, Cplx heavy rep, Dual hardened tank. Albeit slowly. Two swarmers however can make it difficult to escape if caught far from cover. If at any point a swarmer hits that same tank with a full clip without hardeners, It's dead. This is using the minmando as said swarmer as they have been present in nearly every match I tank in, and usually not alone.

That's only fair, especially when you see that is basically what you're asking of for vehicles. 3: I find it odd and somewhat amusing that you believe that HAV's should be very weak in open areas, when that's pretty much the only areas they can really roam. a reasonable acceleration nerf wouldn't nerf HAV's in open areas anyways.

Feedback I've been seeing seems to lend itself more to the fact that the Heavy Armor Repairers are problematic, but the Light Armor Repairers are not. I would not be terribly opposed to leaving Light Reppers as passive but moving the large ones to be active. The reason nobody complains about the light ones is because they give **** all for reps. I want smalls active back. click me Blup Blub Bloop. Translation: Die -_-

Alternatively, buff vehicle repair tools so tank crews can hop out and repair a tank whilst it's under fire, turning killing a tank into a sort of mini-boss fight where infantry have to kill the logistics repairing the tank, and AV need to wait until hardeners are down to finish it off. Lots of fun ways to make tanks more interesting without the usual brain-dead AV is over/underpowered debate, where the result polarises one side of the community against the other unnecessarily.

Maybe because the armour hardener lasts so long, if you don't fire at it while they're up, you don't get to fire at it? Best to ignore those two. And how they struggle making kills with a blaster now, I cannot understand. I kill people nearly at max range (150M), bursting my shots out. Are we talking about the small blaster or the large blaster, because I can kill with both, just the small blaster is not worth the trouble vs the other small turrets... If large blaster... Then I'd like to see where you got that idea from, most of my posts about the large blaster state that it's the best anti-infantry weapon in the game. unless the suit is not a heavy, and you don't simply stand there. click me Blup Blub Bloop.

Alena Ventrallis Ahrendee Inc. Negative-Feedback 2921	Posted - 2015.04.03 06:12:00 - [48] - Quote I really think AV players don't get the point of hardeners. They are supposed to make you very difficult to kill. That's their entire purpose. If you can solo a tank even when hardeners are up, there is no reason to run them. What IS a problem with tanks is how quickly they can escape. Double hardened tanks are functioning perfectly, but they should be far slower, both top speed and acceleration. Tanks should be about stand-and-deliver gameplay, not zipping around at LAV speeds playing hide-and-seek with AV and each other. Therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

He said they would, and I was fine with that. 3 all I'm saying, is that being out in an open field when hit by AV should equal your death. Right now you can go from a dead stop in an open field to top speed in about 5 seconds. It should take about 15-20 seconds to hit top speed.
Doc DDD TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 425	Posted - 2015.04.04 03:47:00 - [50] - Quote So you are saying any vehicle that stops moving outside the redline should have 0% chance of surviving? Sounds about right... shouldn't they just explode as soon as they leave the redline? Would make using AV much easier, closest infantry can get credit for the kill. Maybe just have all vehicles explode when match ends? Sounds about right too.

MINA Longstrike Kirjuun Heiian 2469	Posted - 2015.04.04 08:16:00 - [52] - Quote Quite frequently I find the only thing that's an actual threat to me in a tank is people going 'stand and deliver' with nanohives and av grenades. I'm relatively invulnerable otherwise (at least on armor, shields are a little less invincible). I'd like to push for less hardening, slightly more hp on modules and longer rep cycles/times not sure about speed. I also want to gripe about how in order to fit a 'decent' tank you need to have every **ing fitting and optimization skill in existence to level 5 which is upsetting as it feels like so much wasted sp. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.** I have a few alts.
