everyone pull out swarms.... lock on....FIRE!!!

u loose

See this is the smug **** I am talking about. Tankers NEVER came in here and rubbed the AV nerf in your face. All we ever told you to do was to try to work together and ambush tanks, which DID work. Now we got solo swarmin' BS. They dont even require a lockon, just spawn behind the tank, spam missiles at close range, win. Thats an I win button more than any of the tanks ever were. Atleast with the railgunnlogi I have to track you to hit you, which does take skill. A majority of the kills I had with it were ******** snipers or heavies standing still.

Let's do it. Form Tank Squads. I like playing Logi. Hell, I'll tech up to Remote Shield Reppers if I have to and Logi tanks FROM a tank.

You ever seen a Spider Tank going on in EVE? Just imagine the tears that will happen once dedicated tankers flesh out their skills a bit because of some overkill on the nerfs. It'll be glorious.

Actually some did (I'm not gonna name names)

Killing spider tanks 101 - massive alpha. Right now that entails... 2 shots from a swarm launcher?

I'm on the tanks side in this one, I don't think they really needed much of a nerf just fix the resistor bugs, I agree with lowering the splash on rail guns, and buff the AV and I think all would have been well. Before the nerf I have known a few players to be very good at AV and they would more often than not put the tanks on the defensive. The problem was the lack of team work because while we had squads we couldn't fill an entire team, which would have been very helpful and will change next build.
I understand that they wanted the tanks to need infantry support but all they did was switch the same situation AV had over to the tanks, only like you mentioned tanks don't have targeting.

Heavies have to stand still to shoot a forge gun. And snipers too. Ever get out of your tank much?

I'd be ok with the reduced splash as long as I could still use my skill to hit people with the railgun. In ambush matches the tank was the only thing preventing the match from turning into 12 vs 12 snipers.

Not even close! Are you playing any matches today? They gave been epic gun battles with tanks and drool ships.

This story is getting old. and it mirrors what I've seen on the IRC. Anyone even remotely defending tanks is immediately met with a uninformed s h i t storm of anecdotal evidence and general unpleasantries that sooner or later they just leave the anti-tank whiners to them selves. This is what I'm afraid really happened. As CCP thought the whiners were the only voice on the matter.

They were whining then, they are gloating now at their oh so great skills they don't have. Killing tanks were a challenge, as it should be, and the shield tanks wouldn't have been near impossible had it not been for the shield bugs. Fixing those bugs would have been all that was needed, but the whiners got their way, and now tanks are next to useless,

yeah you tanks need to harden up

yeah you tanks need to harden up, you just need to work as a team to take down the AV people.... ROFL oh the irony its delicious.

You should make a bunch more whine threads Paran, its good to see all your tears after the gloating and smugness you put out before the hotfix.
