WARNING: Wall of text..
Well, decided to take a short break from DUST due to the hard locks and such. Somehow a family showed up in my house and said I was the husband and father. That was news to me. 
Anyways, wanted to see the corp vs corp stuff. Guess what, server full message. So, I try instant battle. First several tries...server full message. Finally get into a skirmish. Equipped with my AV gear, first tier SL and toxic SMG. First experience back...lag issues. I would get freezes every 30 sec or so. Not huge, but enough to make chars warp or stop all together for split sec. Enough for me to miss majority of my SMG clip.
As I'm fighting, I see a tank marker on the map. Whip out the trusty SL..lock on...first several salvos...no hit detection. After dieing a few times trying to get a bit closer to make sure I wasn't hitting a cliff face. Nope, definately was hitting the tank. By the way...it's a Gunlogi. Finally get into a good position and fire away. I go through all 6 rounds and still not into armor. This is a substantial difference from what I experienced a few weeks back. I'm used to Sagaris shields. But Gunlogi's I could do some damage to even with low end SL's. I have been away from the forums as well and at first glance, I didn't see anything on SL's or tanks, aside from the normal nerf tanks threads. I am being lazy tonight and didn't want to read much. I'm sure many think the same on this post.
Long story short...was there changes made to tanks and/or SL's? I know there are many changes happening right now with all the invalid fit issues, disconnects, lockups and such. Just curious as to to what and how much of tank and AV stuff has changed.
Can't wait for more stuff to be added. Still waiting on laser rifles. More pretty lights please!
Edit: By the way, not whining, just trying to find out what I've missed. |

They Nerfed all dropsuits except militia and type2, and reduced all AV weapons to water pistols. It's some kinda joke I don't get. |

Yeah. I decided to read a little more after I posted. TV got consumed by the kid before bedtime. I found out that basically tanks are immortal to infantry to test tank v tank stuff. I hope things dont stay like this for long. I'm not one for whining, but, this type of thing will keep people from playing except tank drivers. |

The fact that infantry have trouble defeating tanks is completely realistic and I know that I wouldn't want to have a situation as in other games where you could pick away at a tank with your knife until its destroyed. There are times that I enjoy the challenge of trying to kill them but I have to say that the fun of it has diminished a lot.
Realism verses fun is going to be a real issue if EVE funded expeditions can spam tanks into the battlefield. I played a skirmish on one of the more open maps recently where 3 or 4 tanks and some good infantry on the opposing side basically held us "redlined" in the open - I was often dying right after spawn and when I did get my AV toon moving I and the others going after the tanks weren't able to have much of an impact - we managed to kill one of them. Excellent play on their part but I can't say as I felt I had enjoyed the match which is kind of important win or lose. Mind you none of us had top level AV gear and that may have made the difference.
I am all for maintaining the strength of the tanks - they should be what they are; armoured terrors for the opposing team. I just hope that there is some mechanism in place beyond the simple battle testing we are performing that will keep things fun. If my corp is consistently underfunded compared to my competition this will become an exercise in frustration. |
