If you're going to complain about tanks being OP, maybe you should first look at ways you can successfully counter a tank. I my experience fighting in tanks, the maps where we've dominated have always been those where there was no real response to the fact that there was a tank on the field. I.E there was maybe one AV guy chasing us, if at all. So the tank could continue rolling around the map, murdering people and gathering points all tasty like because no one on the other team was doing anything about it.
On the other hand, on intense matches, the tank was successfully contained to certain areas of the map that had been cleared by infantry due to successful AV work by the enemy. AV 'nades blocking paths, SL people behind mountains or infrastructure, or forge gunners making a pass at us would keep the tank on the defensive. For those of you who call tank drivers "cowards" for getting behind cover and fixing the tank, I'd like to respond by calling you idiots. If you spent the resources it takes to fully pimp out a tank, you can be damn sure you'd be protective of it too.
The way I see it, the only people who call for tanks to be nerfed are those who have had their team destroyed by tanks, and yet have absolutely no experience driving them. So my advice is twofold: first, play with better teams. I **** you not, any half-decent team in DUST 514 knows how to deal with tanks, and will not consider them OP by any stretch. If you blame the fact that your team was decimated on tanks being OP, then you're either covering for your team's inadequacies, which is stupid, or you played with a bunch of randoms, which is almost as stupid. The second part of my advice: get some experience with tanks. Jump into a friend's HAV when they've spawned it, or try to invest in getting your own. You can't say something is OP just because you get killed by it a lot. That's determined by people who actually use the thing in question, HAV in this case. If you're so dead-set on calling for HAVs, I suggest you try one for yourself. I almost guarantee your mind will be changed. |
