Tanks -are- over-powered in this build. It's just that simple. AV Nerf probably didn't help anything but in the last build at least things were somewhat balanced, there's no reason a Militia Tank should be able to be dropped (for free, after the base price has been paid) constantly, and than be an automatic victory for the team.

I personally advocated that tanks were -not- over-powered in the last build because they weren't, but this build things have just spiraled out of control. I suppose this is the definition of irony.

To drive the point home - with militia tanks being free and for the moment very difficult to kill (forge gun taking a few -magazines- instead of a few -shots-) a single player can drop a well fitted tank upwards of three or four times and allow his entire team to use them.

To this end, multiple tanks can sit and watch the objectives, effectively preventing any access to it by superior firepower with little threat in the way of AV from anything besides another tank - which is unlikely as that amount of firepower early on can wreck the HAV before it even enters the field.

I am an experienced Surya driver. Some of you may know my name from the last build - and some of you may hate me for it. But when I say that Tanks are currently Over-powered, it's probably true. Defend it as you may with your stories about how you soloed a tank with a forge gun but let's face it, with the amount of ammunition it took you're probably not going to perform that same feat without hitting up a nano-hive or a supply depot, and even then tanks usually stick together so they'd have already caught onto you from the first round you fired.

CCP, it doesn't need to be looked into. The system was fine how it was in the last build and now it's been castrated. I don't honestly disagree, now that I have been enlightened to just how bad it can get, to not having Militia tanks. Honestly - these are weapons that should be paid for time and time again, not a one time purchase that racks in kills and turns tides simply because you put all of your skill-points into Large Hybrid Turrets.

Something is very wrong here and perhaps before coming up with a "hotfix" you should ask your community as to whether or not it's a good idea than blind assumption. This mentality is the exact same thing that led up to the Jita Riots - and it should not require a Jita Riot in order to make something wor

My tank has 3500 with two reppers and some plate resists.
Noc shot my tank from a foot away.

So any help on tank fits??

I tried nanofibre to make it faster but it just dies faster.
I tried four shield resists.

Now my only hope is to try and skill up for -25% shield resists, a heavy shield extender and hopefully some nanofibre to make it faster.
Then if I still die in a Sagaris instead of gunnlogis then I am just going to say kitten! hav driving and join the scout/take objectives and run from havs club.

+3 %25 resist +1 high end dmg control

damage control does not have a resist stack penalty, and the 1st reist will be 25%, 2nd around 19%, 3rd around 14%?

so thats like 58% resist? pluss the damage control. the 3rd resist is NOT pointless

Mix tank is a no no bro, sorry to say...

But you just said you armor tank o.o...

Word, but thats not necessarily mixing either though.
