As much as a tank is hell on wheels when the enemy uses them right, they ARE your best friend when they are on your side.
Tanks CAN go in and take out opposition strongholds.
They CAN guard objectives while they are being hacked.
They CAN win your game.
They CAN NOT do this while being forced to hide from drop ships nobody are shooting at.
They CAN NOT do this when being slaughtered by Swarm Launchers or Forge Guns that are allowed to run without opposition.
They CAN NOT do this ALONE!
Tanks are by and large INCAPABLE of defending themselves from close up infantry. They need a drop ship, and/or infantry to cover them from that.
We do fairly well at distance, but up close our slow turning speed, and turrets can not handle infantry, and our turrets have trouble hitting anything that close. And we have that bloody blind spot on out rear left, courtesy of some lobotomised design choice.
Edit: Subject line, The previous one might have been a little too insulting...

Dude it goes both ways, do you also complain about bad team work when the other team doesn't work together to destroy your tank? When its only 1 guy with AV gear and you're able to easily kill him because he doesn't have the support of his team. We don't even have flux grenades, vehicle homing AV grenades, electronic warefare, grouping, 1.2 mill bare tank hulls yet. There are going to be so many underpowered tank QQ threads next patch. When a weapon gets abused its gets re-balanced, see SL, HMG, RE, and now the tank. Tanks are meant to be strategic valuable assess that carry a significant monetary risk but incredible offensive and defensive capabilities. They shouldn't just be continually called in one after another because some guy just likes tank combat, If someone is going to do that he should be paying a significant price. |

And yes, some are calling in tank after tank, and I don't see how they can afford it. On a GOOD round, I MAY brake even if I loose my tank. Just ONE of them. I've never made enough ISK on one round to pay for two, and with the current level and amount of AV weaponry out there, I rarely survive one round with my tank. It is not top tier Armour tanked either, I do like to have a gun on it too.
I never said teamwork is bad, I asked if you also complain about bad teamwork when the OTHER team isn't working together. |

I complain about bad teamwork in general. I don't feel too bad losing a tank or a fight to good teamwork, it still hurts of course, but not nearly as much as it does to a noob with a pack of RE's and a Forge Gun who got lucky and caught me on an armour repairer cooldown.
Forgegun requires a heavy, and heavies don't have equipment slots so they won't have REs. |
