Soo funny
Yes I do see the new armor tanks as a bit too survivable compared to the shield tanks. I down those tanks in 4 shots unless their moving at full speed to use buildings for cover. There has only been 1 tank that has gotten away from my 4 shot kill and its a proto maddy. Now if I build my 4 shot killer out of a basic gunnlogi It fits nothing but the turret and killing mods, it can't leave our redline. When building the 4 shot tank out of a proto its still not wise to go too far away from the redline. With whats needed to down a maddy the gunnlogi is mainly fitted with mods to kill and not mods to make it survivable. This is where I feel the imbalance com es into play, the guns that regularly fit on the maddy have not had their fire power or ammo reduced but the guns that fit regularly goes on the gunnlogi has had its firing reduced to 3 shots and ammo upped by 3 to 12. What a ass trade off more ammo to not need to reload a gun that can't kill anything higher than a lav or badly fit dropship.
Missiles don't need a damage mod to output a lot of damage and the blaster doesn't need a cooler or a damage mod to do its job but they help. Now with the rail turret you need to run a cooler (which you can only run 1, WTF) and as many damage mods as you can fit. Putting it in DPS comparison The DPS on the rail has been severely reduced while the survivability of the tanks it needs to shoot at has been upped with no penalty to its DPS output. This seems like a bad trade off. But how you going to get people to buy the Prae 7 tanks from the packaged fits. Lets look at another "STUPID" move made to tank fits, the Prae 7 tanks got to see an upgrade in module fitting slots without changing the mods in the slots, a little tweaking and its a good survivable tank for cheap, cheap. Lets look at the Kali Gunnlogi tank, no module slot upgrades and if you take the tank out the way it is and you get blown up, good for you, your a dummy. The way the kali gunnlogi looks in its "upgraded" state is that It would seem that no one at could make a good survivable tank out of the gunnlogi fit so they didn't touch it. In price comparison the kali tank is too expensive to be in a tank with a crappy main gun, short mod slots, and a mod fitting that is only good for shooting ratty little lavs, even that is ****** that a basic blueprint lav with plueprint mods survives a shot from the kali tank, most embarrassing **** I've seen yet. You ONLY get 3 shots and you need to get 2 of them into the hull of a fast moving target, slow tracking to boot.
I don't particularly care these days if you write me fan mail stating how much you hate the redline and can't cross it to down me. Cry some more when you don't understand that my side of the battle field is a tank free zone (unless its another blue tank). Don't roll my side of the field unless you want to lose your investment, I'm not leaving the closeness of the redline you can complain to ccp that I am using my resources wisely and that they should make tanking balanced so tanks don't need the redline to make their tank survivable/output enough DPS. So far I have mainly lost tanks to jihaders on a rampage through our redline, otherwise keep your tank on your side of the field.
You know people are butt hurt when they search the whole map to remote you. I wrecked 2 of this guys tanks from range and it had 3 people in it both times. My baby started to cry so I recalled my tank and went to sit deep, deep redline in my all blueprint suit. While I am holding my child I see buddy drive in with his lav jump out and remote my feet, aww he committed suicide boo hoo. I coulden't get to the controller before he spawned so he got to kill me once with the remote. Now this seems stupid as they lost horribly and never got to hold the point once, 3 of their team were to distracted looking for me that they didn't help their team.
The gunnlogi needs to either have the rail turret back to firing a proper amount of ammo before cooling or make the tank able to survive more of a pounding. I though tanks were supposed to get balanced/fixed with the inclusion of adv and proto tanks, not have 1 tank go off the chart. Lately I rarely see a gunlogi, but down maddy after maddy all I gotta do is wait for them to get cocky and roll on my side of the field. |
