I disagree, respectfully.

Remote explosives seem to work fairly well at taking out HAV's.

I think there needs to be better systems for squad communication to coordinate attacks on objectives and obstacles. I think it's more rewarding to creatively overcome an enemy's advantage than to simply exploit a weak point.

Tanks should not be solo able by anyone using equal equipment. No weakspot, also this would make shield tanking even better as armor tanking would have a "weak" spot

Its called a forge gun or swarm launcher

Shot hurting a tank realy? Do you known what shot is? If you are ina advanced tank going up against a proto gear is solo able. However a proto tank vs proto av should not be solo able

Greetings,

While I think it does make sense to have a weakness, I think we should prolly wait til damage types are released. My reasoning is simple, it is too easy right now for a Sniper to exploit it. I can't do it, but I see a lot of snipers who can hit a target on the move. These Snipers would be too powerful.

I would hope eve engineers were smart enough to not leave a such a obvious flaw in a tank. Plus I just dont think anti infintry guy should be able.to threaten a vehicle, and forge guns would beable to kill a tank in two or three shots rather than 4 or 5

Honestly, I agree with this on one condition:
The belly.
The belly is the holy grail of anti-tank weapons the world around, because armoring the belly just adds wait without really helping defense, so that's one of the most vulnerable areas on a tank. So, RE may be getting a nerf, but if the tanks had a realistically soft belly, RE could actually be more useful against them than it used to be. What HAV's really need is percentage based damage multipliers relative to whether your hitting it in the sides, or from the top or bottom, where the plating is weaker. So that tank sitting up on the cliff behind that tower that overlooks B? Put one forge round into the belly with it's shield down and it should go up like a firecracker.

The entire belly I can live with its rare for that to ever be exposed.

I would also like to see modules or tank variants that reduce this vunerability as well. For example shielded reactor module prevents the damage bonus to the weak spot but reduces capaictor recharge rate.

And Heavy tanks with defended bellies that move a bit slower but REs/Mines dont bother them as much.

That would be neat if gunners would manage electronic warfares as well enabling the pilot to focus on driving while gunners manage offensive or defensive warfares.

Its possible tanks won't even need a "weak" spot. Once ewar is in place, we may se things as emp mines/grenades that slow or even stop shield regen for a short time, or stop the vehicle from moving or firing. With laser rifles and such. I'm just eager to get further into beta to see what all kinds of juicy things wait for us and see how we can use/abuse them.

To be honest I fully disagree with this entire topic.
A good fitted tier 3 tank costs 250k at the moment. sure it might be hard or slow to take out such an tank playing as a heavy but that is the fricking point right? that player dumped all his SP into tanks to be viable with them.
even if you did the same with the heavy dropsuit he still pays 5 times more than you do at that moment.
The problem currently is teamwork; if you'd were to go in with 4 militia class heavies that tank would still go down and you wouldn't have paid a penny....

Basicly you are saying tanks are OP because you can't beat them when you run up to them toe-to-toe with a proto forgegun and you got yourself killed.
Except you encrypted it in the sentence - give weak spot plz

The problem they don't make it so that when a tank drives over a RE it ohk's is because this isn't battlefield with infinite tank spawns that get ohk'd by mines, people driving these uber tanks actually invested most of their resources into them and what you have in dropsuits they lack, but compensate with tanks.

So no, I disagree,
unless you want to give dropsuits a weakspot on their bottoms too ( pun intended )

From what I read the OP wants a OHK spot to shoot so he can either OHK them with an AV weapon, and is upset that his "sniper" type skills don't help kill tanks

We had genuine weak points last build. It was a hell of a lot of fun sneaking up behind tanks and killing them with a rapid stream of Scrambler pistol or SMG fire. Blowing onikuma with a few rounds to the hood, or taking dropships out with a few snipes to the engines.

I miss them, it was fun jumping onto tanks like a bucking bronco and taking them down with small arms fire.

BTW, I still kill tanks with small arms fire, it just takes "Dedication"

No I want a spot where its nearly impossible for most AV to hit but smaller and ill equipped non AV units can cause serious damage and also make tank facing a real tactical decision.

Also you dont know me too well... I kill sagaris and suryas regularly, solo. Current record 5 muraders in 1 match to the nice payout of 1.25 million, I am deadly efficent with the forge gun and the bane of vehicles everywhere.

Also its just bonus damage, a forge gun strike from a proto forge gun with damage complexes still wouldnt OHK a murdaer tank, but it would make the tank driver go OH Kittens at least.

I wouldnt mind if the tanks get an overall HP/damage resist buff if this is implimented.

The problem is that if vehicles had that one HIGH damage spot, you'll see low geared (cheap) infantry storm the tank and kill them abusing such a weak spot.

And thats a problem how?

I give up. I tried a simple response, if you can't recognize the problem, you are lost mate.

Edit: And that you solo kill Marauders regularly, should suggest to you that there is no need for any additional weak spots on tanks.
In all honesty, no one player should be able to solo kill a decent fitted marauder. It is a tank, and should take a team effort.
