Bresker Veyne Algintal Core Gallente Federation 152	Posted - 2012.08.02 16:52:00 - [1] - Quote Having fought the fearsome Sagaris a couple of times with my proto Forge Gun (never being able to kill one though), I was wondering what tactics other people use to actually take one down? It's almost impossible to find another partner that can help out to destroy one of the bastards. It also seems like people only call down their sagaris if their team is winning. And once you have two of them sitting in your spawn and even blowing up the dropships leaving the game seems to be the best option (even better when everyone leaves and the other team gets no sp and isk). So I'm curious to hear about winning strategies to use against a Sagaris.

While all these strategies seem viable, they leave out a key problem: the rest of the guys team. A sagaris requires a lot of teamwork to be taken down, but when half of your team (or more) is focused on taking one tank, you still have the rest of their team shooting at you. And when you're in your AV dropsuit, killing infantry isn't exactly easy. It will be a lot more interesting if we get webifiers and nos. Freeze the enemy tank and then disable it's armor and shield reppers = dead tank. It would also require teamwork, but you wouldn't need half your team and it would give the logistics guy an important role.

Regardless, I don't think people quite understand the true purpose of a tank, and its not to kill people, not exactly. I don't aggree with the 'it's a tank, what do you expect argument'. If we would follow that thinking, dropships should be able to fly a lot higher! Come on, they're airplanes, why do they fly so low? Let the dropships fly amongst the clouds and let them drop people and bombs on the battlefield without getting shot from infantry! I'd also expect a lot more groaning and limbs flying around. It's a battlefield, people are firing pretty powerful weapons against each other, yet we don't lose any limbs? Nor do we say anything when we're getting shot? Doesn't sound like any real infantry! So let's think within the boundaries of gaming. Imbalance is always present in gaming, however it should never be too greatly imbalanced so that it discourages people from playing their own style and forces everyone in one direction. Should a tank be powerful, yes. Should you require 6 people to take down one tank, no. Some teamwork between a logistics an AV, maybe two AV, should be enough to give any tank driver nightmares. There should be no point in the game where a player can say: "Ok, I've trained all my skills to the max and I have plenty of isk, now I can just kill everyone with my tank (or any other build for that matter) without worrying about anything." There should always be a challenge, even for the tank drivers.

I hope they don't make the fighters too powerful! I like having a challenge, being in a 'press button destroy everything' vehicle gets boring after a while.
