I really don't agree with the OP.
Tanks are strong, yes. OP? Really not.
After 2-3 weeks of reading the endless bickering between OP tanks and AV I decided to check. It just one weekend to train SL to level 4 and I already started raking in tank kills. Even Sagari and Suryas. Some were good fits.
The weekend after that I trained to level 5 and started walking around with a proto SL. It made a difference. I was now raking in even more kills. I too had games where I took out 3-5 top tier tanks. It's doable.
The thing is you have to be smart. If the tank sees you and you're in range, you're dead. So don't do that. Out smart that driver. Hunt him.
And as for protoman's point, I completely disagree. He did nothing to prove the point that tanks are OP with no skill. He is a very skilled driver. If he drives a top tier tank and goes 100/0, he's good. He's very good.
So what now? Nerf players who know what they're doing? Slow down their DS3's to level the playing field?
Hell no. Good players will be good. Always. |

Hell no. Good players will be good. Always. I just started using tanks 2 days ago bro.
And you're already driving a top tier tank?
I've followed your posts on the forums. You're usually very annoying but in a smart way. I, like others, do not really like you but for me it's partly because you do argue well. Not another flamer troll.
I believe this goes to gameplay as well. You're a thinking player. You couldn't get a 100/0 KDR and be a skill free idiot grunt. |

People keep stating that game mechanics have nothing to do with real life arguements. I believe the opposite, real life army examples are perfect for the balance we're seeking.
Now back to tanks.
This is a tank being hit from below by a car bomb. Tanks have the thinnest armour below and are most vulnerable there. I don't know about that car bomb but in Israel it took the Hamas in the Gaza strip 1000 KG or explosive (yes, a full TON) to destroy an Israeli tank. That was about 4-5 years ago.
This is what happened to a tank after driving over an anti tank mine. Note how the only damage is a broken tread link. If I take that back to Dust, that is something that would easily be fixed by a logi with a repair gun. It disabled the tank but only for a short time.
So tanks are not OP. Tanks are doing what tanks do.
You really should stop judging tanks by how they behave in tiny maps with intentional vehicle spamming by CCP. That is no comparison. |
