Thanks again for posting these Iron Wolf.
I'm irritated they are thinking of taking the guns away from pilots completely. I believe their thinking needs to be flipped completely. I'd be OK with tank drivers getting a weaker gun though, or a bonus for driving a gunless vehicle. Pilots are the ones investing the skill points, and risking the ISK. Handing it all to skill-less players is my idea of a pilot nightmare.
The solution to tank dominance is combat air vehicles.
And the counter to them is AV and a possible swarm launcher turret for vehicles.
Like in reality.
But I digress.. ;)
My question - What is the "thing" is that they needed to take care of before bringing in fighters/gunships? (from an earlier IRC reply)
It seems they're trying to balance tanks without addressing the real counter that is built for them. |

IMHO, this is a terrible idea, and is a cheap fix. The real issue is the lack of tank killers out there.
I say this as someone who plays primarily AV and hates driving tanks. |

The real issue is the lack of tank killers out there. I say this as someone who plays primarily AV and hates driving tanks. It's not really a cheap fix, it's realistic. Just look at Tanks in other games like Battlefield, they require multiple players to be used well.
I can be won over to this if CCP can actually reward pilots for flying/driving and not assume they will forgo SP and ISK out of the goodness of their teamwork loving hearts. I love teamwork, but don't want to need to crosstrain in order to earn SP and ISK to do my expensive job. |

CCP said they where going to add many more flavors of Warpoint gains. Including Transport assists.
Very Nice. Finally some reward for being a gutsy taxi driver. |

I feel most of the people here are from EVE.
I suspect the forums may have a stronger EVE following than actual players, but I don't assume this will remain after release. |
