I love tanks on the battlefield. They add a large force multiplier to whichever side they are on and I'm cool with their health and I'm cool with their damage. They're tanks! It should require a coordinated group of infantry to take one down and if something finds itself in the tank's crosshairs it should explode.
With all that said, I do have a slight issue with their speed. To have OHK damage, nigh unbreakable armor, AND extreme speed seems a bit off to me. I know there are multiple tank types so can we make armor / firepower inverse to speed? You want a giant machination of death that requires multiple AV infantry to take down? Cool, have it - it's just slow. I've seen a Sargeras tank keep up with a LAV while raining infinite OHK missiles down on me and my team. It was a bit off putting.
I think it would help balance tanks a bit. Heck, increase their damage and armor, just make them slower so that they are easier to keep track of and avoid. Tank wrecking up A? Go take B or C because it should take the tank it a bit to get over there.
That's my take on it, what are everyone else's thoughts? |

That's my take on it, what are everyone else's thoughts? I'm betting you've encountered a few nano-tanks. See, an HAV driver can equip Nanofiber Hull Structures in his low slots similar to how EVE players set up speed tanking ships, thereby making his tank far faster and more maneuverable. I've seen an all-nano fit Surya pulling powerslides while cutting down infantry like daisies. My Advanced Swarm Launcher brought a swift end to his fun. |

I would hate to see a Sagaris with nanos, they're more suited to that type of warfare. |
