I don't drive tanks, but I do die a lot to them, especially if I'm not paying attention. I currently have an advanced SL. I can do some hefty damage to most tanks. With a couple proto swarms on the field, most lower tier tanks drop pretty quick. A well fit sagaris on the other hand is a pain in the a$$. I hate seeing those. Punching through their shields is tough. It definately takes quite a bit of firepower and teamwork. But, as stated before, the amount of vehicles, including tanks, in this build was intentional. Next build we probably won't see them like we do now. Also, we will see more counter options with seeking AV grenades, webs, etc. Maybe EMP weapons that will stop tanks, prevent them from firing, drop their shields. Any combination of these types of weapons can make short work of even the best fit tank.
As for missiles sagaris on top of buildings at the red line, that should be addressed somehow. But again, we will have to see how things will be implemented as beta progresses. |

I'm sorry dude but that's not the EVE way. It's a valid tactic. Somebody should just go up there a knock the tank of the building or switch to AV loadouts.
Agree, that's a valid tactic. Zitro did that once while I was on defending team. Not sure how I got out, but was able to and drop an up link. At that point was able to do something. But missile sagaris bombardment is difficult to escape when spawining. But I do forget that spawning sill be addressed in next patch, so no too concerned with it I guess. |
