Drake Lyons wrote:I think I've got this one figured out. Here's how to properly balance tanks so we don't have any more threads like this.
Top tier tank should have about 700-1000 base EHP and be able to fit either something like an Assault Rifle or an HMG in the main turret. No additional concurrently active turrets, just one that could be activated by switching weapons. Maybe limit that to less powerful weapons...a submachine gun or a pistol or something.
They shouldn't have any type of active boosters available, just passive extenders or rechargers. And the resistance modules should be severely reduced. Maybe just limit it to the DCU.
And to be honest, the base speed is far too fast. Maybe slow it down to about 7 or 8...with the option to add a burst of speed. But only for a short period, not an indefinite "high speed" setting.
The ability to run over players needs to be removed, but a close quarters option for killing does make sense. Maybe a knife of some kind. That would be good.
And having the vehicles brought in by RDVs can cause problems - sometimes they crush people who just spawned. So instead, I say spawn in the vehicle. And they are way too big, anyway. Make it about the size of a player and no more friendly crushing will have.
Except having a dropsuit inside a vehicle is really lame. First you have to kill the vehicle, then the dropsuit pops out. I mean, talk about overpowered. Let's just make it one thing - you spawn in a vehicle you can't leave and you die when it does.

So the solution: Make vehicles dropsuit sized, capable of only fitting dropsuit weapons with dropsuit modules and dropsuit tank. Give them dropsuit speed, and dropsuit mechanics. Vechicles officially fixed! TL;DR If it kills PDIGGY, it needs a nerf... yup, has nothing to do with them being free, having unlimited ammo and movement speed, along with fitting you and your best buddies on the guns. No FPS should ever be based around vehicles, sure it's cool to hop in a jet or tank every once in a while but it makes for boring game play more often then not, especially for those who want a massive gun on gun game.
Vehicles are crutches for people that cant compete, it's the same thing with sniping in a MMO, high powered weapons on large maps makes for a good crutch as well.
