I have to disagree with this thread entirely, sure vehicles have an upper hand vs. infantry.. kinda the point. However being my main focus has been dropship piloting it doesn't seem to matter how good a pilot gets I find myself shot down ALOT a fully upgraded myron can only take one or two direct hits from a forge/railgun/installation before going down. That is a fact and when said attack hits or is launched [stingers aka swarm missles.] are affectively unavoidable so I often don't try I hold on and focus on stabalizing the impact and hope it wasn't maxed out swarm missles that hit me and my repair modules have enough strength to survive it. Infact I propose the oposite when need a flare system or anti missle system/mod to combat them because shields aren't enough. Something similar to the system in Battlefield 3 would balance things out I think.

When complaining about balance you have to remember that a huge portion of the capabilities we will eventually have don't exist yet.

For example, eventually vehicles will have capacitors. If you've played EVE you're familiar with the capacitor, but if not it's more-or-less analogous to a mana bar.

Every action taken by vehicles will deplete their capacitor. Moving, shooting, module activation. This means that unless a HAV sacrifices a good chunk of its tank to be completely cap stable it will have to be careful when it shoots or it will find itself out of cap and unable to move OR shoot.

CCP isn't known to "limit" ammo.

just throwing this out there but not only are tank actually SUPPOSED to be better then infantry and the infantry just have massive tactical advantage where those specialized infantry squads can take out tanks on whims, but the rest are basically ******, but CCP isn't trying to balance the game.

So good job you made another of 50 "Tanks are OP" threads, quiet down troll and just ignore it and have fun with the game.

Players need to spec for Swarm launchers, Forge Guns, AV grenades, etc. This will stop the players using powerful machines. We must counter scissors with rocks.

Careful what you wish for. Anyone that has played EVE knows they don't limit ammo they make you buy it. If they go with buying ammo they will probably give you choices. I can see tanks getting ammo to help against tanks and against infantry. So sure they get limited ammo but when that ammo is stronger than what they have now is that really a good thing?

Tanks are still Op. there's no reason to skills for AV as the best AV is a better HAV. I've said before the rock paper scissors thing only works up to a point. A decent HAV can take a repeated beating, kill the AV guys and run away. Rinse & repeat.

I don't know about EWAR, there's no eta on that. Webifiers and capacitors and limited ammo are all good plans, but tbh it's becomming evident that HAV will be the best investment of SP/ISK.

That's kinda crap when there's 4 dropsuits which are currently pretty worthless. I've been playing assault since Replication build. My character doesn't feel special. He feels like a waste of Sp, shoulda gone tanks.

Tbqh, it's impossible to balance. You just can't balance 15kehp with 1000ehp (++ber assault or decent heavy). And the HAV can Ofcourse 1 shot either of those...
