DUST Search - Why tanks should take melee damage

Sicerly Yaw wrote:

tanks and other structures and vehicles should take regular damage from regular weapons, I don't understand why they have damage penalties

If I can do close to 800 damage more or less with melee attacks then tanks should take that much damage from melee fits

most fits only do 80-150 excluding the commando so there shouldn't really be a problem there and most tanks rep way more armor and shield then that per second

now If I have a charge sniper rifle that can do say 1k-0.5k damage at full charge with damage mods and what not then the tank should also take that much damage, I dont see why weapons that are capable of high damage have to be nerfed against tanks

tanks complain about SL's because thats what most people use to take them out with I'm sure if regular weapons could take them out they would say its too OP as they have before

but once again tankers can rep trough most of the damage anyway they just don't want to have to deal with damage from multiple sources

Now imagine that wall is made with technology that's 12,000 years ahead of its time. That's why meleeing a tank is a silly idea. Nova knives are an exception since They use plasma as a cutting edge, something your fist is lacking in. Therefore, never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

But come on some damage anything to make a tank think twice I dont see them nerfing hardeners so different types of av should be introduced. I mean a tank wandering into a city map thinking HA av thats cute. Theres more than enough wide open terrain for tanks but citys should be were infantry dominate people like myros and having to switch to av is hard especially if theres no supply depot nearby.

Maybe you could use Nova Knives to cut some of the tanks' piping and disable it's shields, immobilze it's turret, or even hit the fuel line to stop the tank from escaping. This should last for only a few seconds because nanites will repair the damage automatically. Found my favorite DJ - ATB

But if you look at the size difference i your fist versus the 120mm plating on the tank... 120mm is 4 inches thick btw for those that use imperial. Can a fist or hammer or baseball bat damage a tank in our time?

Think about it like this, your fist and the metaphorical wall evolve for 12,000 years TOGETHER.so your fists is advanced and all high tech now but so is that wall so it cancels out. Simply put it's like 10 divided 2 became 100 divided by 20. A lot change but it's still the same result Scr nerf approaches.We shall see who truly knows how to wield God's wrath and heathens who wish to mimic the Amarr......

You can try but even then I don't think you could attempt to punch through and inflict meaningful damage on reinforced rolled homogenous armour comprised of two layers of crystallised carbonide with additional 120mm thick armour plates and the capability to harden on impact and resist the kinetic forces of Railguns.

Nova knives then get to have that anywhere, while other weapons can take apart a tanker dumb enough to sit still and let them aim properly.
