I'm breaking even at the moment, but only because I rarely "throw them away".
Now that infantry have spend a million SP or so on SL or FG, the early tears that the tanks were OP are definitely turned to shame. My early assessment that Tanks (including Marauders) are in fact under powered, or rather "underhealthed", is vindicated.

I can field 250k Sagaris and have over 5 million isk in the bank.. but that's because I love AV killing more than tank driving. (I leveled the Eryx first, and am hoping for a combat hover-ship soon)
I also hate using the large turrets I'm trained for. Railguns are powerful but I hate the charge-up delay, and the large missle seems really weak. But there are enough of you AV guys now that I end up focusing on staying alive more than I am getting kills.
I've pulled out 230k Eryx 2-3 in a game before, but that was more for fit testing than blowing money.
When combat dropships come out, look out fat boy, I'll be coming for you and your forge cannon. ;) |

Only the Russiens have ever fielded a combat dropship (the Hind). No other nation has even considered it a useful direction. I hope Dust doesn't have combat dropships. What it should have are combat airial vehicles in two classes.
The first would be a fast class (like our modern jets) for air combat and bombing runs. The second would be a slower class (like our moderm helicopters) to provide cover for dropships and for engaging ground units. This should also be highly menuverable as they will be dodging close threats and would have little time to respond. |

We'll end up with a game that only allows throwing stones at each other when all the neft smoke clears.  |

Yeh ive deestroyed a Sagaris last night again in the enemy defender spawn. I simply shot a few swarms at it while the RDV was still trying to drop it. Its like a huge target that doesnt move and before the tank driver hops in the shields are charging up to slow to compensate the damage and he has no direction to escape cause i was sitting on a roof again overwatching it  |

I think you misunderstand me, or are unaware of a whole class of military vehicle.
Here's the class of dropship I want:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_helicopter
Dropship doesn't mean "taxi", it has a whole host of roles that it can do.
The current implementation is like the Blackhawk, or older Huey, which is essentially a utility vehicle.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_UH-1_Iroquois
Cheers.

I apologize, I skimmed your reply and didn't notice that you essentially said what I wanted. Sorry about that.

We're getting VTOL fighters in future.
Will that do? |

If you mean VTOL jets like a Harrier, then no. Not at all the same thing.
I welcome them, but want an armed hovership similar to the Apache in Desert Combat mod.

Best helicopter controls out there, imo. Hard, but reallly good. |

Just wait for the nerf rage threads when the first whole squads get annihilated by orbital bombardment. |

As a tank gunner,
I'e been a gunner for a ton of tank drivers. I've seen good, bad and darn right ugly driving skills and tanks. Rolling as a gunner you learn what works and what doesn't when facing SL or a Forge. It feels pretty balanced when rolling in a good tank and a good driver. It seams like tankers who just got their top tier tank put all their focus on their turrets and not on defense. The ones who focus on defense can take on six Proto SL vollies and still keep on rolling. For me, it feels pretty balanced when the driver knows how to load out his tank and drive well.
As a Proto SL fiend,
I welcome all tanks that are focused on their turrets, they crack like piggy banks. The ones who have taken their time to craft their tank properly can take me on. With a dropship working with a tank, they get me every time. Teamwork is how you kill me. Distract me with a well fortified tank and come from my rear with a dropship, I won't know what hit me. |

Spammed sagaris tanks yesterday and stayed in the positive, then again I don't have the best modules on it yet, including turrets so other sagaris tanks with good railguns would toast me. Only 81k cost though and super effective against anything but decked out sagaris tanks with railguns.
I'll actually be relieved once they bump up the price on tanks, I hate seeing these tanks get spammed so much.. main reason I trained into them, fight fire with fire. |
