MTACs can rip tanks apart with their hands/grippers. It was mentioned in a video on ccp youtube channel. They are also stronger then tanks in slay. CCP seems to have a plan all ready, seems to fill role of dreadnought in warhammer 40k based on little bits i've seen.
They seem be able to shred tanks up close, maybe they will be shorter range, will probably be slower but able to go where tanks can't. I'm looking forward to seeing how they will work, but I don't think we have enough info yet to figure out how they will work or be balanced yet. They will probably replace marauders as the focus of anti-vehicle forum rage once they appear.
Heth used a make shift shield(not force field, knight and armour type) on one in the first eve novel, a shield would be a cool fitting option. If they can kill tanks in melee, an option to fit a upgraded melee instead of a ranged weapon would be nice. |

I agree, but ccp seems to be doing the other.
CCP said tear tank apart, and mech is stronger then armour in slay, so I think CCP is planing for them to be very powerful.
I am guessing the range will be short, so tank in open will kill MTAC before it gets in range(ccp may have some other way to balance planned?). This would make MTAC good in close quarters more then in open, like urban terrain as you suggested.
40k dreadnought reference was to similar size of two vehicles, the ability to kill tank in hand to hand, and the walker having lighter armour and weapons then similar sized tank, many of the dreadnought weapons tend to be short ranged.
CCP seems to have plan for very strong MTAC, I personally would like one between lav and hav(I also want a mav light tank in between lav and hav). CCP seem to be putting hav between lav and mtac from what I've seen. I would like option of melee anti-vehicle specialist MTAC, seems like it would be a fun fit to drive/walk.
Perhaps they will be harder for vehicles to kill, but more infantry vulnerable then hav. I think we will have to wait for ccp to give out more info on what they are planning for us to give useful feedback to them on MTAC. |

I want the small one, but the big one seems to be coming. The in between lav and hav version would be easier to balance I assume. Also less people would complain about small. I vote small one first, large one can come later once small one is balanced/meta has adapted to it. This would also give a progression for walker pilots. CCP probably has some plans for them already set though. So if poll goes one way and CCP the other, it may be due to work already done, so no reason to complain they didn't care what fans/testers thought.
small 2, large 0
