"There's no reason why this game should allow a high cost I win button"
When will people get it out of their heads that having a high number of kills in Dust is not "winning". Every time I'm on a team that wins there's a guy at the top of the other team's scoreboard with a very high k/d ratio. He still lost. I'd also like to know where this idea that tank drivers make tons of SP and isk comes from, because it's flat out wrong. I've been a marauder driver, dedicated assault infantry and dabbled with AV. I almost always made as much SP / isk as a foot soldier if not more. You know why? Kills are a small component of points awarded.
A tank can't capture control points. It can't revive or repair teammates. It can't drop uplinks. It can't drop nanohives. Capturing a single objective gets you the same number of points as if you killed 4 people. Combine that with points for teamwork and it has a massive boost on your payout at the end of the match. Of course, we already know most of the people whining about tanks have no idea what teamwork even means. Tronhadar had no problem at all wiping the floor with the Amarr gunnlogis and madrugars in the corp battles, even when they had 3 tanks and we had 1. We didn't kill all of them, but the ones we didn't kill had to hide in the back corner of their base. |

I get fantastic SP running as logistics. I've had upwards of 60K SP from a round where I took a militia logi suit and didn't hack objectives or kill many people. The biggest trick is putting nanohives in places where people are taking cover. You can 100 support points in less than a minute from a well placed hive.
It helps if you have access to a supply depot so you can switch equipment and start getting points for uplink spawns as well. |

Isn't it funny how people with no idea what the cost vs benefit analysis of using a tank looks like have so much to say about how they should be "balanced"? I don't even drive a tank this build because I wanted to try speccing into logistics. If you think tanks are so ungodly powerful then go train into one and find out how easy they are to lose, and how much less isk and SP you get compared to running and gunning. You can't have much authority about the pros and cons of something in the game until you've been on both sides. |
