IM STILL ALIVE 3	Posted - 2012.08.27 04:58:00 - [1] - Quote How many matches do you go without loosing one? What is your highest kill per tank in a match not just the driver but all three shooters? I'm guessing most will be to embarrassed to tell us the truth.
DUST Fiend Immobile Infantry 1903	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:00:00 - [2] - Quote Tanks die?
IM STILL ALIVE 3	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:18:00 - [3] - Quote My guess is about 50-60 kills out of a good tank driver in a match including all three gunners. At least from watching the boards at the end when three guys go 20+ and zero.
Mobius Wyvern BetaMax. 1216	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:22:00 - [4] - Quote And they've still been gimped all to hell since the last build.
theschizogenious KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 167	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:23:00 - [5] - Quote i have never lost a tank i have went probably 50 matches without losing one, and my secret is that i dont do vehicles. tried to once spent a couple mil isk on them and then got wiped so i just ;eft the havs to the other guys. once in a while ill be a gunner and ive seen a good tank driver coupled with some non braindead gunners that are able to turn the tide of a losing battle. however ive also seen a competent tank crew fail to win the game for their side because the other team was adaptable. when the tank became too much of a factor for the outdoor fighting the other side fortified themselves inside and forced the other team to come after them.
STB-TedNugent EV 159	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:25:00 - [6] - Quote i will be 100% honest.. currently these will be gunnlogi stats until i lose them im not using my sagaris until i run out of them anyway.... i have went hours without losing one havent kept count... i have played matches where the enemy is fully stacked with av and lost 2 or 3 in a match.... my best kills all turrents in a tank would probably be around 50 -70 never really kept up with that eitherr... i have seen lurch go 50+ by himself

Hours in this beta could mean 10 matches or two. so I agree that would be hard to get some real facts from Would you say you loose one every 10 matches or more? And what is an average amount of Isk you can make from a 50+ kill match. Assuming since you guys group up you probably frago the tank for optimum points.
Hired Pinp Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 3	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:34:00 - [8] - Quote I've only gotten a good 20-30 kills before they turn on my somewhat decent madgrugar, or whatever the basic tank's name is before they swarm launcher me in groups and destroy my tank

Assuming since you guys group up you probably frago the tank for optimum points. frago the tank doesnt give the driver any extra points at least it dont for us... only helps with orbital strikes... hard to say average because we use tanks they go militia and we dont make as much isk... you only make good isk when they put out expensive hardware thats how i am seeing this work this time around.... maybe thats why we dont make as much isk as of now... i have made over 300k in a match tho blew up 4 tanks and 3 or 4 installations
STB-LURCHASAURUS EV Circle of Huskarl Minmatar Republic 173	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:36:00 - [10] - Quote tank drivers get no bonuses for having the squad order on the tanks :/ kinda sucks but meh lol thanks for the shoutout ted, but im fine with people obsessing over noc instead....keeps the av on him lol

Riggs Tank Bragian Order Amarr Empire 25	Posted - 2012.08.27 05:38:00 - [11] - Quote i went 3 rounds in a row without loseing a my tank. i have lost most the same match as i call it in. i guess my best match was 16 and 0. i didnt really have many gunners but when i do i feel pretty unstopable offensively. i must say that the small missle turrets are kinda OP. i would be ok with some kinda of nerf on those. even on the LAV, missle turrets dont seem right. maybe those small missle turrets are really what is makeing tanks seem so Over Powered. Like every other tank thread i see' i have to say that if u dont like it start skilling your AV skills cause I'm skilling tanks everytime. also every match im in i have to run for my life, its not like tanks can just roll into the middle of the map and stay there for long.
Rohnan Senkusha Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 40	Posted - 2012.08.27 07:15:00 - [12] - Quote i've lost more tanks to redlines then to actual people. also, the only time when my tank really dies is when im fighting another tank, and he's got swarm launcher buddies. so far the only 1v1 tank fight i've lost so far was with noc. but i mean, its noc :P but see, here is the down side for using tanks, since i've used so much SP in getting a good tank, i have not had time to get good dropsuits, so if i do loose a tank, my only tank, i have to go through hell because of all the people that have specialized in AR's and actual guns, so i have to grind extra hard to get my tank back, but eventually i do, and start saving up cash for when that one blows up :)
Pent'noir Algintal Core Gallente Federation 61	Posted - 2012.08.27 10:02:00 - [13] - Quote it is not the fault of the tank for not dying, it is the fault of the infantry for not having any sp into av, thinking the militia swarm should be enough, and not using teamwork. Often times when i see one, i'll have no help from anyone, and if someone does come to help, they bring the militia heavy shock. While, yes,i'm happy that they came and are helping, it would take a good number of militia swarms to do any dmg quick enough to kill a good tank before it runs away.
Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1170	Posted - 2012.08.27 10:05:00 - [14] - Quote Do disconnects and falling through the map count?
kalahari ilkeston Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 51	Posted - 2012.08.27 16:42:00 - [15] - Quote I lasted about 30 seconds trying to work out how to control the dam thing The speed/steering is setup badly I ended up reverse onto a rock and got stuck

Now this is a good thread for beta testing...no complaints, no accusations, just asking for the facts. Im a ground grunt, but lve since an increase in tanks over the last couple of days. For the first week or so of this build, l think l saw maybe 1 tank and 1 dropship in like 30 games.....now, every game lm seeing 2-3 tanks....maybe 1 dropship. Maybe people have been saving up...

I'm guessing it's because they've finally gotten their skills to the point where they can use the better tanks.
TiMeSpLiT--TeR Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 326	Posted - 2012.08.27 16:53:00 - [18] - Quote Tanks do die. It's the players that don't spec for anti vehicle. I don't see many logistics either. I see more snipers than usual.
Debacle Nano Shadow Company HQ 639	Posted - 2012.08.27 16:58:00 - [19] - Quote I don't always bring a tank in. But when I do, I don't lose it.
