Key words in bold. That means it's working as intended.
Also, Structure is in fact in Dust 514. At least, for infantry it is. It's a percentage number instead of a bar (I don't know if it's the same for tanks). |

But.... I don't drive tanks.
That said, a person who went through the trouble of fitting their HAV to tank well does deserve to have his behemoth be... well, a behemoth. I personally use a Proto swarm launcher (aurum version for now) to take down vehicles and I rarely encounter tanks that are so well fitted.
Most people just use them for what you said; cheap kills and thinking they'll be invincible. The ones that actually specialize in them (through fitting and learning how to drive it) are the ones that seem almost invincible (especially the rare few that run around in Marauders).
I could never get the hang of tanks, personally. I wanted to, but I got frustrated so I stuck to being a grunt. I might try again in the next build, though by then I won't have free tanks to practice with. |

I've solo killed a Sagaris and then turned around and solo'd a Surya in less than a minute with a proto Swarm Launcher. Some tank drivers suck at fitting, some are bad at knowing when to run away. And some are good at both and nearly impossible to solo kill. Keep trying, it'll give you a better perspective on skill. Go do tanks too. They're not insta-win. Nanohives are a big help.

Contrary to what you might think, this is not a good thing. Especially not when you're discussing balance. |

If someone says "I kill people in video games"
and you take out "in video games"
it wouldn't be taken nicely I assume
Didn't read his post. My apologies. |

Why does a guy not dying in a fully specced proto assault everything who has spent all kinds of sp and isk on making their fitting good get to be hailed as a god when someone who spends even greater effort on making their tank more powerful will always be a scrub? lol you are a silly goose. The thing is that tanks are way to OP in their current form. You have to rely on help from your team to take them out when there is no grouping system implemented. Next build I'm not going assault. I'm gonna go proto SMG proto swarms. I probably won't play next build due to the fact at how disappointed I am in this game. If I seem like a chest beating 12 year old or an ******* I apologize but you have to understand where I am coming from. I have been waiting for this game or about a year. I was told it was gonna take skill(complete lie). I guess I'm just disappointed at this point. Also I don't like the fact that when I'm trying hard in my AR fit I'll manage twenty to thirty kills with a five or six deaths. When I have gunned tanks, I can get twenty to thirty kills with 0 deaths while barely paying attention to what I'm doing. I don't think its way too fair. That's why I complain and *****.
The next build will have squad grouping. Perhaps you can test whether or not tanks remain OP then? If a properly fitted squad can take down a well fitted tank, than it balances itself out nicely I think. |

Keep in mind I don't play EvE. it's basically a battery that can run low, and when it does, things don't work. guns/modules/etc. Basically it's a resource you can "war" against with electronic warfare, as well as use up by overuse. in EVE cap is a big deal. I don't know how cap will affect dropsuits, but it could easily be implemented in vehicles. Good god! I really hope caps are reserved to vehicles and do not affect infantry in anyway. What a nightmare that would be.
