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.
true, but thats the entire point. if you dont have teamwork, your gonna be poor very fast. |

Regardless, I don't think people quite understand the true purpose of a tank, and its not to kill people, not exactly.
careful pokey......be very clear with what your about to say lol. but yes, you are are on the right track. |

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.
irrelevant. we will get fighters soon. dropships are for carting fireteams around to objectives with strategic evacs and such. Tanks aside, marauders should need a great deal of effort from pubbies to take down. Corporations wont have that problem cause they work together and actually have mics. |

there are none of those in the game....if you have experienced such a situation however, rejoice for you have been on a good team or fought against scrubs. |

most likely they will use the same mechanics as EVE. Why wouldnt they? its proven to work and its easier than just creating a whole new system. |
