Not that I don't think they have a place in the game, just don't ask me to drive or be your gunner. I feel i'm more useful running around with a gun.

Anyone else just feel like a waste in a vehicle?

Sorry... but have you not herd DUST is the PS3 version of TANK WARS

Tanks are not OP. They are just pretty hard to kill. With a little group effort, and not a whole lot of that even, they die pretty easily.

Every time I jump in a tank I think to myself "wait a minute I can run faster then this'. Then I jump out.

I will let the people with no gun game sit in the tanks.

And I'll let the people with no tank skills and abilities run around, playing cannon fodder.

You don't need tank skills to kill someone with a tank. Ive tried. You need gun game and skill to kill someone with a gun.

Militia tanks don't count. And I am hoping that they will fix the current bug that allows unskilled players to enter vehicles.

That said, it does take skill to survive in a tank. And even then we can fail, partially because of mistakes, partially because of bugs, and partially because infantry DO cooperate at times.

Good working mouse and keyboard man just wait till next build.

That is the problem. You need group effort to take out 1 tank, while a tank can take out a group with no effort. Not really balanced...... Especially when I put 3 proto av grenades and 10 REs into one and it doesn't even get half the shield down.....

I think the OP was stating that a skilled killer is more useful to the team on the ground killing and taking objectives rather than sitting in a tank. Which is why I stay out of tanks, anyone that can consistently put up 20+ kills with a gun should not be a vehicle gunner.

Thanks Carlos.

I had a dropship pilot yell at me the other day because I didn't want to gun for him. I told him I'm more useful running around with my AR then I would be flying as a gunner.

Dude responds "pffft good luck getting kills"


I don't care how easy or hard it is to take down a tank rather I'm looking for people who share this sentiment.

The sentiment of "I'll go 30-1 without your stupid turret. let someone who is more vulnerable get in that vehicle"

No. tanks are not being used as they should, because AV weapons kill us too fast if we do.

DEFENCE = Mobile artillery = having to stand your ground and protect an objective while it is being taken. IF a tanks does that, a forge gun or a swarm launcer kill us very fast, ergo tanks are being relegated to rolling infantry, and trust me, that is only fun for so long.

First off, most AV weapons take no skill, or very little of it. Second, they are either overpowered, or the tanks are under armoured. A standing tank is soon a dead tank.

AV weapons are not overpowered.

The AV weapons do that much damage because of how overpowered the deathtanks are.

It balances itself out.

If you want to camp in an overpowered tank then you are going to die to overpowered AV weapons. Get over it.

5 RE do not do 10K damage

Actually, now that I looked, we have no idea how much they do. I mistook them for the non standard AV grenade, which DO make in excess of 2k HP damage per blast.

But the RE damage is not stated. Anywhere.

What they DO have though, is a 500 meter blast radius.

FIVE HUNDRED METERS??????
