As a dedicated tank driver, I appreciate and am thoroughly enjoying the differences tank-wise in this build. While i do not support the removal of the marauder damage buff, I think that it is nice to see the lower tier tanks becoming valid again. I think the marauders should have at least a 20% buff, or else there really isn't a significance between the standard tanks and the marauders when there is a million ISK disparity. Then again, the stats of the turrets has been completely reworked, so being able to use the higher tier turrets is really only something the marauders with their higher CPU/PG can do well and that helps them keep their strength.
At last, only people who are serious about tanks will be rolling them out and the tankers who dont know how to drive will be a side thought on the field, since AV weapons are much more effective and ewar isnt even fully in yet. Worthwhile drivers are the only ones who are going to be able to keep their wallet and help their team without getting popped right away...
Marauders lose their buff, turrets are reworked and stronger, lower tier tanks are valid again, prices are brutal but much closer to what they should be, movement is reworked (my surya lost like 500 million horspower), tanks get many cosmetic additions.
All in all, I am very happy and am having a lot more fun in this build. Good job CCP. |

Tanks are plenty useful if you know how to use them and you use them the right way. If you get popped right away, well the other team might have had some AV guys ready and thats just how it works. Im a good driver, but sometimes the enemy has a good AV guy. |

I'm of the opinion that marauders probably will get some form of damage buff back, simply because the lore says so....
but anyway, certain fits require the extra slot and increased limitations. Its a very role specific thing, just like the bo tanks.
......i always thought small arms fire damaging tanks was shenanigans. |
