If you are still arguining you have the intelligence of a brick or are a really persistent troll.
tone it down a bit.
your the one not seeing things in the bigger picture here. the implementation of ewar will change things significantly.
in addition, vehicles are not meant to be on equal terms with infantry....infantry is the most base level of player that a corp can have on the field ingame and a tank is, well, a tank. if the corp is funded enough, and it is worth winning the battle, they increase their risk and throw some more of their weight around by bringing more expensive, powerful assets onto the field like aerial and ground armor and installations.
For those eve players, its similar to calling a capitol ship op because you cant easily destroy it with your small destroyer...
the scales there are much different but the comparison is the same. in a battle, yes av squads can pop armor and make them retreat, but if the enemy team has a tank squad on the field, dont sit there complaining about tanks being op, you need to get your own team's armor on the field!
if the us army was fighting a russian tank battalion, do you think we would try and destroy them with a platoon of infantry with rocket launchers? no, we would roll in our own armor. again, like i said the capitol ship isnt op, its just a capitol ship. you have to engage it accordingly. av guys will be able to approach their roles much differently when they can throw webifiers.
this doesnt work like BF where you can spawn as an engineer and take out a tank by yourself with 2 shots. this is total war.
edit: you can see how CCP is thinking along these lines since they are trying to get more people to engage tanks with tanks instead of everyone trying to use militia swarms. as far as the world of tanks argument goes, there are things that need to be done to win that tanks cant do and in serious battles, corporations will run out of tanks to use (as long as they dont have unlimited funding, but thats up to the eve corps) and that is part of beating the other team. out of all the tanks i see being used, almost all are shield tanks and of all the av i see, almost all are swarms.....its like trying to beat scissors with paper. use the right av weapon for the job.
Dust isnt just about infantry. the american military forces have a navy and air force in addition to the army for a reason. |

on the flip side, every time i roll out my tank i put 2 mil on the line, and i dont have a single point in anything else so i have to use it if i wanna take advantage of my points. that and everyone on the map hates me and wants me dead where an ar guy will only have to deal with the guys in front of him.
if av guys are scared to deal with me, awesome. no skin off my back.
the only times i have ever lost tanks with the exception of a few tank battles are to real av squads who work together and get av nades on me while shooting swarms from MULTIPLE directions, a very effective tactic that still eludes most av squads. av guys should realize that they shouldnt have to be scared of losing their fittings if they actually assault tanks in the right way and dont run straight into an enemy ar user.
i love when 3-4 av guys are shooting swarms at me in one direction...my gun just so happens ot aim in one direction and even has splash. if you get me from multiple directions, not so easy and i might have to retreat. but wait, what ever will i do when you can webbify me?! we'll just have to see at that point in time my frustrated friend... |
