I have been tanking since beta right before uprising and I can tell you this is the weakest tanks have ever been. At least before 1.7 we had complexity and modules and turret variation to help us combat the AV. Now we have only mlt,std,adv & pro turrets with no variation. And no mlt large turret missiles. AVers even have officer weapons and a less margin to miss with forge guns and even AHMGs are capable of destroying tanks. I remember tanking before 1.7 and we had an equal fighting ground. We had powerful active modules & turret variations and even my beloved scattered Ion cannon. Now we have jack sh*t in variation and we have almost no way to combat redline forge gunners besides luck. So shut up your 3 milita AV nades don't instantly blow up a hardened proto maddy. "I am actively aware there is a certain fit that makes me nigh upon a God, but because there is only one Godmode fit and I still sometimes die to officer weapons, tanks are hard to pilot." And to Proto weapons. And ADV, and STD....and MLT.....oh and if not using the Godmode, you lose 1million ISK....yea. It must be really hard firing swarms from the supply depot you just ran too

I mean what? I blow them to pieces and you don't? No damage mods either. Ds3 pad, no AA, and I usually practice vs Dropships... Do you not set up your target? Do you not track your shots? Do you just not try aiming? --- seriously a lot of Swarm users don't even bother learning to track a target. Do you only engage at the far end of your AV weapon? Can you not predict the (simplistic and very few) paths that a vehicle MUST take to get between targets? I'm just wondering what the REAL issue is. Look kiddo, if you're gonna make a reply to a comment, actually reading the comments you're replying to is generally considered the best practice. But in case it's just a personal comprehension disability, allow me to help you explain what was being covered a la the more simple style of a book by Dr Seuss. The Tanker and the Swarms By:Daddrobit
Our fun little story will follow the dear Mr. Feind, self proclaimed Demigod! And though it might not have been true, to cross his logic meant going to his firing squad.
But what Mr Fiend hated above all else was AV, and he despised it with such rancor! Yes it was patently obvious, (How could you miss it?) that this man was a self entitled tanker.
He cried on the forums, "One Swarm Two Swarm Three Swarm Four" "From Standard to Officer, they hurt me so bad, I just can't take it any more!"
"And who can forget Militia, oh such a horrible, devious, terrible beast!" "Yes my hardeners may have been down, but I should still get away at least?"
"Who cares about things like balance, fun, or engaging gameplay?" "I'm in a tank for goodness sakes! And I am here to stay!"
Oh yes he thought so very highly of himself, and he imagined it in so much blazing Glory, That he never expected, (t'was completely unforeseen) that he was not actually the hero of this story...
For here it is that he does enter, the clone who calls himself Daddy Much to the despair of his victims, certainly seeing him makes them very unhappy
"But wait," Daddy cried, "Stop yourself and hold long enough to let me speak." "Why would you go and attack someone when you know you yourself are very weak?"
"And militia swarms aren't nearly such a beast. Surely there were a million ways to survive" "If you died going against a man using militia swarms, then you must have been taking a dive"
"Even basic gives you plenty of time to run away. The first shots are merely a ticklish warning" "Eight seconds later is when you finally get into trouble, and after that is when you can really begin your mourning."
"But what were you doing in all of that time? Did you not know that tanks go in reverse?" "If you simply start driving away, the swarms will become impotent, and then you won't have to open up your purse."
"it must be hard to think about what I'm saying, so let me make it more simple before you start singing the blues" "Don't engage things when you know you can't win, and don't field what you can not afford to lose.
And thus content and satisfied, Daddy sat back, waiting for a reply, reclining in his chair, Hoping that the next response from a tanker wouldn't be one that would make him tug out all of his hair.
The End There, is that easier for you to understand? Now do not further antagonize me or I shall be forced to compose a Hynox-esque Novella between yourself, Maximus, Bad Furry, an Ion Cannon, and AV grenades... Someone's pretty mad that they suck at DUST, and it's not me ;).
I want to play your version of DUST where vehicles are only ever engaged by a single AV player. No wonder you're so salty. Update your client and enjoy the new and improved vehicle limit which allows AV to forever outnumber vehicles. In the new update they even have commandos so you can still shoot infantry even.
Wow, its a brave new world

Wow, its a brave new world That's it Mr. Fiend. You have crossed the line. Prepare yourself, for the gloves are coming off, and I shall wield my pen to weave you into my creation of such a composition of lust filled literary insanity so unbelievably incredible, you yourself will say: "Wow, that's unbelievably incredible." Please allow 3 to 6 weeks for delivery. Thank you. I love fan fiction about me.
I want rabbit ears like Louise, and a panda named Jim who is my samurai butler.

Oh mah goodness, you and Bad Furry are SO gonna get it on. So long as BF is in his scout suit jumping around obliterating infantry with swarms then all is right in the world.

Hmmm, I dunno, I always associated him with sitting in a rail tank on top of Manus Peak, (when it was still a peak) and other places it was somewhat difficult to get to. That's the new BF. I'm talking about the original BF. The jumpy close range swarm scout who hopped around the match slaughtering scores of helpless infantry.

Devadander wrote:ADS could still be a tank hunter, but n.... Actually, I think us tankers cried on that one. But with max skills on pilot and gunner they could eviscerate a maxed HAV with a MLT turret. Just CCP overdid it with that "balance pass".... The sad truth on this one is that CCP was unable to fix the bug, so in order to address it they nerfed the hell out of our RoF so when you pilot stack it's not as OP.
Pilot stacking still exists, it's just less appealing since they neutered our offense.

Was foggy on that one, haven't DS since they removed ole Prometheus I was one of the only original people to go balls deep into Prometheus the moment it was released.
That was.....a very...bad decision. To this day I've never raged as hard as I did as Prometheus pilot. My very first taste at just how bad CCP is at balancing things.

Breakin Stuff wrote:Because forcing someone to die and lose a full fit so they can engage you, or have to trundle about in an inferior vs infantry fit on the offchance you drop a vehicle is fair.
And no, commandos aren't the only AV fits worth talking about.
Every obsessive tanker fanboy b*tching about commandos.
Or laidais
Or both, as if you could combine the two somehow. Because they can't both exist in the same match at once. I forgot as soon as a commando is deployed, all fits with lai dais become invalid.

Teamwork is unfair, somehow? I consider that a nonfactor and automatically dismiss any complaints about vehicles exploding when dogpiled. But you act like people can't complain about one or the other simply because a single suit can't wield them both.
Which is stupid.

When exactly was the last time you saw a Dust battlefield? About six months ago. I'm done with it. Ultimately things haven't changed much, aside from swarms hitting harder and most AV coming from airborne commandos
Not that I've played much either, but I have in the past few days and months here and there. It doesn't take more than a match or two to get a feel for everything again though.
