I don't even drive a tank but your argument is flawed you paid multiple of one thing to get that much they pay 1 of one thing to get that much or however much tanks cost then they have to fit them with armor and weapons and modifiers and things so that's even more money also one is an infantry item the other is a tank.... What was the point of even making this thread?

would you like me to tell you the cost of 20 tank turrets? lol

I know, I know.. another fkn tank thread... lol

Just want to rant real quick at all those tank drivers who keep saying they deserve to be in something hard as fk to kill because it cost them a bunch of isk to make... OK, well have you ever stepped out of your tank and looked at a decent dropsuit fit? I just bought 20 guns last night and had to pay 2 million ISK, yes 2 million isk .. for 20 guns ... to put on a suit that can get blown to bits in a flash, or jumped by a small mob of nubbins with militia assault.. so take that damn line of " but I paid this much so I blah blah blah" and shove it where the sun dont shine. cause it's the dumbest defense I keep hearing and seeing for a tank driver.

Ok, back to your regular program, Rant over.

you aswell

Clearly you do not comprehend well... a tank can run into a mass of people blasting and kill them and keep rolling, take my suit that is a few hundred k and try the same thing... it's not rolling out of the massive shitstorm of bullets. get it now? thats why I think that excuse is dumb as fk, you probably use it aswell so thats why you felt compelled to come in here with that reply.

ill ignore your anger here and just say some of my stb squad mates have isk in the tens of millions since they play well enough with their fittings that they dont have to buy proto ar's in multiples of 20s regularly...

I approve of this thread.

STB please cry moar.

would you like me to tell you the cost of 20 tank turrets? lol

lol even though its the OP that's crying?

ive said my piece, good luck on the battlefield guys.

I think I've got this one figured out. Here's how to properly balance tanks so we don't have any more threads like this.

Top tier tank should have about 700-1000 base EHP and be able to fit either something like an Assault Rifle or an HMG in the main turret. No additional concurrently active turrets, just one that could be activated by switching weapons. Maybe limit that to less powerful weapons...a submachine gun or a pistol or something.

They shouldn't have any type of active boosters available, just passive extenders or rechargers. And the resistance modules should be severely reduced. Maybe just limit it to the DCU.

And to be honest, the base speed is far too fast. Maybe slow it down to about 7 or 8...with the option to add a burst of speed. But only for a short period, not an indefinite "high speed" setting.

The ability to run over players needs to be removed, but a close quarters option for killing does make sense. Maybe a knife of some kind. That would be good.

And having the vehicles brought in by RDVs can cause problems - sometimes they crush people who just spawned. So instead, I say spawn in the vehicle. And they are way too big, anyway. Make it about the size of a player and no more friendly crushing will have.

Except having a dropsuit inside a vehicle is really lame. First you have to kill the vehicle, then the dropsuit pops out. I mean, talk about overpowered. Let's just make it one thing - you spawn in a vehicle you can't leave and you die when it does.

--

So the solution: Make vehicles dropsuit sized, capable of only fitting dropsuit weapons with dropsuit modules and dropsuit tank. Give them dropsuit speed, and dropsuit mechanics. Vechicles officially fixed!

Mmhmm...

Actually no I pilot a dropship and two you're comparing a drop suit to a tank a drop suit that is both less armor and money compared to that tank is that really so hard to comprehend

If we know CCP, and I think we do, the game will probably end up with a Titan esk vehicle or dropsuit. The ultra rare, see one and have a Oh ****, everyone can count on one hand how many confirmed kills of said mega monster there are. And I'm ok with this. if CCP can balance a Titan in eve, I think they can balance something similar for us.

Um, in case you didn't know it, tanks also have modules and weapon turrets that have to be paid for. 1 tank costs me nearly 2.5 mil.

As if you've lost 20 tanks LMFAO

As if ANYONE has lost 20 tanks....

BS!
I used to run AV then I decided to join the HAV club to expirience those "unkillable" tanks......bah,bah! and BAH!!!
So far I think that I hav died in around 250 to 275 times in a Sica and around 65 times in a Gunnlogi.
Here try this HAV since they are "OP".......mother kitten! you just killed my hav....again!!!
Sooner or later I will get better at running tanks but its kind of a pain when instead of driving a tank and risking a lot of isk then I can just run a militia logi and get more kills and more sp.

Sigh.
I am just average at fps games and thats the problem.

wtf, wow dude. thats like 70 mil+ of ****.. either your full of it or dammmm, I feel for ya... stay the fk out of tank, stay the fk out anything shooting actually lol.. logi definatly sounds better suited for you.. holy **** thats alot of tank loss 0.o

OP needs to stop dying so much as infantry tbh

What I want to know is why my 1 gun cost as much as a bloody tank not including the suit and mods yet I'm barely compensated for blowing them up . Kill two gunnis in a match yet don't even get enough to cover the expenses of ONE effective suit . And I'm not even talking about a fully decked out proto one !

Never mind as an AV guy EVERYTHING is trying to kill you . Heck I think we even beat out logis on the priority meter .


AV guys cost of living is too high for what we do ! I demand a raise !

@ Maximus Stryker

Your bang on da money 3x makes huge sense to me.

+ 1 for you and OP

blh blah blah ... irrelevant!!!

if the tank can't die... it doesnt matter how much it cost!!

now as to the cost of the number of suits, weapons, modules and equips ill lose to said tank, multiplied by everyone else that is dying to said tank... those are some numbers worth mentioning.

Add in factor X of small ambush maps being gimped because you can't cross the road... even with an adult holding your hand...I'm sorry mummmy, the tank didnt care... now you're dead...*cries a little*

and you have as CCP have admitted (loosely quoted.. and badly at that) "tanks are damn brokended!"

now if you'll excuse me i have to make a militia fit because all my points in AV are apparently useless!..*wipes tear from eye...*
