Not saying anything about whether or not HAVs need to be nerfed.

Just pay attention to what he says. "you become quite vulnerable in a choke point"

Based on a few of the maps that we've seen thus far (between this build and last build)
There aren't too many choke points for AV guys to use to kill a leveled up HAV.
Actually there are hardly any... and as any good and experienced HAV guy will tell you, you have to make a mistake, or literally have several AV guys chasing after you to kill you.
Not that a HAV guy can't be killed, but it takes 4-5 AV guys to kill one good HAV. It's too easy for them to run off and repair shields/armor after tanking a couple blasts.

Balance does have to come into question when it takes over a third of a team to kill one guy.

Just pay attention to what he says. Something something webifiers. Boased on a few of the items that we've seen thus far, there aren't too many webifiers for anyone to use in DUST 514.

In fact there aren't any. At all.

So balance does have to come in to question when... not everything is... ah never mind.

thats because if they did watch the vid they would hav to admit that tanks are working as intended, and no i dont use tanks. besides even if they impliment cap, cap warfare, neuts, webifiers, tracking disruptors basically anything that will bring a tank to its knees that isnt a AR they wont use it anyway and still say its op

That was a nice vid!!! Loved how they focused on teamwork! If you don't have that, you're pretty much screwed. Doesn't sound like they will be changing much, if any, of the tanks designs.

Not yet. CCP said they will add it later on. Don't you ever keep up with the news?

is it an appropriate time to claim victory over proto and his ilk? lol jk

btw, if anyone didnt understand, that was a JOKE

im not one to say i told you so, especially since this could all change to benefit those guys at release anyway.

It's just tough talking to people sometimes when they argue against stuff like this which is already officially backed by CCP and they have never seen anything like these vids and wonder why we're pulling these "facts" out of our asses.

interesting how none of the people complaining about tanks are saying anything in this thread.....

As for the plateaus being a tank map. I want to disagree. Correct me if i'm wrong. I see it like this you only have like a few places to actually rep your shield/armor without being shot from overhead. The map for the most part is open from above. That gives dropship/forge guns from buildings/other tanks more of an advantage to shoot at you. You can't shoot straight up so that means dropship gunners can rain down on you and if they are good enough you will not get the shot on them. Personel on top of building good luck hitting them unless you get lucky and see your cursor turn red if you actually can get it on him. Dropships on top of buildings easier target because they are big. As for tank vs tank its easy to get to a position to fall behind the tank you are engaging and get the easy kill. As mentioned before he has to turn around when he is being shot from behind. In most cases its the tank that gets the first shot off thats going to get the kill. Whether or not you have smart enough turret men to realize a tank is shooting at you or if you even have turret men at all. Like mentioned before it's a tank it is supposed to be dangerous. Think of real warfare tanks are built to withstand claymores, IED's, grenades and whatnot. They are built to put out massive ammounts of damage. Tank is OP because a tank is OP. Props to CCP. Tanks are also easily taken down with proper team work. As in an earlier match me and a new recruit and another guy put together a plan on the fly to take down an enemy tank. Two of us pulled out our prototype forge guns and one called in a drop ship. The drop ship distracted the tank(that had been destroying our team, due to lack of AV fits) while me and my partner got into position with our protoforge guns. Four or five shots later tank goes boom. Tanks are not invinsible you just have to work together to destroy them. So I say lay off the complaints and turn on your mics and work as a freaking squad and do work.

based on your post i can only assume you didnt watch the link.

if you cant pop a marauder with 4-5 AV guys, your doing it wrong.

OR......

maybe you came across one of the fabled but probably just a fairy tale good drivers?

no one complains about guys who are good with an AR but once someone who knows what they are doing gets into a tank, the game's broken. Just watch the vid and you can see CCP basically saying, "Working as intended."
