I had been playing for awhile, my team had been pinned down, and there was no cover whatsoever to call in vehicle reinforcements. I had thought at first it was an overwhelming force of attacks upon the dropships... but instead it was just one tank. I realized this when someone had gotten behind the lines and most of the red chevron marks had gone after him, so I called in another dropship.the tank was practically alone as all the snipers were focusing down the spawn points.
It killed the dropships before they had a chance to even descend halfway, somehow the Attack of the tank's main gun was boosted to absurdity. I'm not sure if it was hacked or if this is a glitch of some kind.
But I finally got a tank down on the ground, and it blew up in one hit from the enemy tank's main gun.
What was on my tank you ask? Defense wise there were 2 damage dampeners, and 1 armor plate (about 1000 hp)
Gone in a single shot. that's about... what.... 3,000+ HP gone in an instant? I think it was the Soma tank body I had used. Glad I didn't' test with the more expensive tanks...
Regardless, after having this happen I believe that both teams need an alcove in their "danger area" so that they can have a chance to call down vehicles etc. |

it really doesn't matter what the tank's armor or HP is. The fact of the matter was the tank was blasting down them all the NPC dropships in one hit. the cargo regardless of type armor and HP are all irrelevant because it will blow up when it hits the ground guaranteed. It gets crushed under the burning debris of the dropship and looses it HP too fast to deal with..
This basically proves that those dropships need about 400%-600% more HP just do do their job. if this kind of firepower is intended.
Also, this guy WAS spawn camping, the only spawn left was the natural spawn in the red zone. Which is why all the other players left the area to go after the one guy who got behind the lines, cause he was after a spawn generator. They were getting bored with the tank taking everything. |
