Only going to say this tanks should be powerful enough to stand on their own, they should be used as a mobile death reaper and should be feared that's the point of a tank. Tanks should not be able to be solo killed unless they get a massive drop and your right to say a good place explosive should stop it but that's point of shields to prevent that. Any way the tanks should be hard to kill mainly because its a bloody tank. I'm sorry you shouldn't expect to kill a tank will a rock. A M1\A2 Abrams main battle tank has been record to have survived 25 RPG hits with a busted tread(Sorry if I am wrong about the number but it was a hellish high amount). The tank alone was able to make it back to base. So you guys are saying that you should be able to solo a tank BS. That is such a laughter. Yea you should be able to solo LAV easily but not HAV. You should need a Team to take out a skilled tank Pilot. The only tanks that should be easily taken out are the soma and sicas. I know people are going to rage on me or say bs but come on, think logically, do you think a tank should be easily taken out by a solo when the pilot has spec his tank on fire power and defense. Remember that the higher the tier you go up the better the equipment should be mean the better the tank the person gets the harder it should be to kill. Same goes with everything else but Tanks should be something that is much more powerful if spec correctly and harder to kill.

P.S. Before responding don't see it in your own view but in the view of a tank pilot and how he work his hardest to get where he is at.

If you can pwn people solo with your tank, people should be able to pwn you solo as well. Should've been rolling with infantry support to screen your tank against AV.

if it takes one man to drive and shoot a tank, then I don't see a problem if it takes a man in a fat heavy suit holding an oversized weapon twice his weight, to kill it.

Enuff said.


Edit: Also the comments from the previous commenter "At leased dropship has sped on their side..."

Has no idea what he is saying. Sure it has speed, but have you flown one? what good is speed if you have no where to run to?

I can speed all over the place in a dropship, doesn't do nothing if everyone can see you and shoot you down in one lock on.

HA INFANTRY ACTUALLY HELPING TANKS? WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING

HA INFANTRY ACTUALLY HELPING TANKS? WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING

Hobo-n-Guns shut up go and fly a dropship then come back really a dropship has speed and no tank but its suppose to be a troop carrier well with how the missils act once infantry start shooting at u u cant stop u have to keep moving cause swarms dont run out of fuel apparently and when they hit my own dropship can survive a maximum of 4 consecutive hits without giving reppers time to rep now tell me how thbe hell do i land without getting blown up as i can see dropships cant be trop transports because of this.

As for the tank issue everyone keeps saying it takes 1 person to pilot then it tankes 1 person to kill tell me where that happens anywhere else in game a dropship takes 1 person to kill but 3 people working togeather to pilot. A lav takes 2 to pilot but 1 to kill it. And as for assult suits its dependent on what u bring bu in most ocasions it takes 2 to kill someone without the other guy just barely escaping till someone places that last shot

Most of ur arguments are therefor void as its based around the idea it takes 1 to pilot should take 1 to kill please think of something else would ya and no because tanks were overpowered for three months pre patch doesnt support u

You would be able to manuver better if ccp would go back to the pre3 release. DS were troop carriers and some air support, they were not meant to be flying tanks. As for missiles locking on, all you have to do right now is just do "S" shaped manuvers and they hardly ever hit you.

It is sad i have to quote myself since you seem to have miss quoted me



For your information, I used to fly DS all the time until they screwed them up with P3, and I was always able to out fly missiles and was rarely hit except when I landed on a tower or the ground.

I love what u guys did with the tank turrets those were great made tyhem more specilized but av are too powerfull 1 guy can take out a tank that shouldnt be done it should take 2 or more railgunners or it should take a good amount of swarms from multiple players not soloing a tank

I havent even tried a dropship yet but i doubt ill be able to survive 1 hit from a swarm missile which is **** being as that gets rid o all our tanking powere which we didnt have much in the first place

if it takes one man to drive and shoot a tank, then I don't see a problem if it takes a man in a fat heavy suit holding an oversized weapon twice his weight, to kill it.

This isn't about tanks- tanks are now closer to where they should be.

LAVs and dropships however, go down WAY too easily. People shouldn't be able to one-shot them.

so ...... realisticly how many missiles would it take to blow up a military tank?

If a militia tank is brought on the field a couple militia av guys will kill it a standard fit av will most likely solo it. If a standard is brought on the field militia will have a hard time, a standard fit well be abl to do it but unless theres more then 1 of u the tank will probaly kill u or be able to get away and have time to heal, a protofit av will have no proplem though it shouldnt be tol where hes a dumbass and walks right up to the main gun should still be some challenge. A marader well it should be a par with proto thats how i see this working

Ok so explain to me where teamwork is encompassed in ur version wolf ritter or better yet if my standard gear can kill proto level tanks why should i even buy proto gear when im 1 shotting proto level tanks please dude see how much more balance there is in my version and it still doesnt call for overpowered tanks
