just done a corp battle that basically just proved what people have been saying for months, that good tanks have NO effective counter at all we had one good tank vs 3 and just got spanked, team play just didnt come into it.

OS strikes where pointless because tanks can just move out the way.

frankly this has been a clear problem for a while and nerfing AV even more has just made the problem worse. the Effort to kill for tanks is just completely off and needs to be readdressed.

at the moment corp battles will simply come down to which ever corp can field the most tanks/dropships playerskill wont matter which means newb corps we never have a look in. while this may work for EvE, in FPS this is never ever fun and with the way game is built it just wont be fun for all but the top units who just go round whomping the little guys who dont have any high-sec space to have fun in.

any thoughts on this, as at the moment i fear this is game-breaking if you look at the big pic

This just in: diverse teams that take advantage of all tools at their disposal often beat teams that do not.

3 tanks in one match can BOOM. and their is not effectvie anti tank on foot at the moment so a diverse team would make no diff, and dropships are an out as they cant hover long enough to get a kill in

Being able to field a full team would be a start, first match 11 - 16, second match 2 - 16.
wtf !

Is anyone specializing in AV? If I'd like to know what they think about how easy/hard tanks are to kill.

I specialized in AV for two builds before the forge nerf and the AV nerf and they where a massive pain in the ass to kill.
Even than I stood firm on keeping the tank untouched by the nerf bat.

I have since changed my tune.

i hope they all die in a fire... err, I mean get nerfed.

Been saying it all along tanks need some major looking at.

tanks

easy wins

Huh. Turns out the militia swarms I've been killing Gunnlogis with are ineffective anti-tank equipment. Good to know.

I call bullshit. I just played a round a few hours ago where my team had 4 guys blasting a gunnlogi at the same time with swarms for the last 2-3 minutes of a match. We never even got past his shields.

was the tank colored like sand? if so non normal tank. A well built tank should only be taking about 40% of what hits it in the first place and cost about 500k. lots of power but very cost inefficient.

You couldn't expect to solo a tank but you had no qualms about trying to - Now you need slight S&M tendancies to do so.

I disagree with infantry being useless. I have different types of loadout.

1. Uplink with a nanoinjector
2. Swarmlauncher, nanohives, submachine gun
3. Nanoinjector, nanohives
4. A sniper.

I have taken dropships and tanks with just a militia swarmlaunchers. Guess what? They're pissed. With the STB rolling around with tanks, I have to change my tactics. Also, I have seen randoms shooting the tank with their AR.

EDIT: Also, they haven't added a weapon that slows down vehicles. It's like a fishing net that they mentioned in the fanfest.

if a dropship took out tanks, they were probably not fitted or were being messed up by an av squad. dropships arent meant for blowing **** up, thats what fighters will be for

I've heard this song before.
And it ended in QQ.

Last build, the song and dance were all about Tanks are OP, nerf them QQ QQ QQ QQ

Then what happened?
They weren't nerfed, yet they started dying, fairly easily too.
Even at the end of the previous build, where only a few highly skilled tank drivers really did well in tanks, the AV crowd were still QQ about tanks being OP, because they couldn't solo kill them easily.

Wait and see before crying about needing nerfs. There are really only a handful of players fielding tanks, and they are doing well at the moment, soon you'll see people speccing into high end AV gear, and a nerf is no longer needed.

I laugh at drop ships that shoot at me, then I shoot them down!
