DUST Search - Tanks are too overpowered...

If the tourney proved anything, it's that CCP has done a damn fine job of balancing vehicles vs. infantry.

In a game as complex as DUST that's not an easy thing to design and i for one think CCP deserve some credit.

Anyone who is claiming AV is underpowered and in the same breath insists on using militia AV gear has absolutely no credibility. A minimal investment in skillpoints gets you the Scattermind swarm launcher(Darkside, if you using AUR - basically a proto level weapon availiable at lvl 3), and a slightly bigger investment in heavy suit, weapons and forge guns gets you a forge gun.

What are we really talking here in terms of time invested? Maybe one, two, or three(if you're really struggling) days invested to be able to back off or destroy ANY piece of armor that can be fielded in the game.

As soon as there is armor or dropships on the field(I'm talking to YOU, bluberry!) you should be switching out to AV and punishing the **** out of the arrogant bastard who called it in.

TBH, 2 swarms and one forge can make a bad day for just about anything on the field. Don't assume the other bluberries are gonna do it for you - Y'all just need to get off your lazy kdr-whoring asses, grow a pair, and get the job done.

P.S: And put down some ^%$$^$%# uplinks while you're at it!

People QQ about tanks being OP in the past and then CCP nerfed them and boosted AV after it was suggested. Then People QQ about that and they changed it to the current way. Tanks cost SOME CRAP. If you believe that Tanks should cost a lot and be easy to solo or just simply team up on you must not be thinking about what you're saying and instead are just raging/trolling. If an assault fitting costed the same as a tank and it could go down just as easy as it could now EVERYONE would flip a kitten. Seriously. I had an issue with the tanks and the dropships during my first time here, last build, but these vehicles are balanced way better than you guys are making it seem. Tanks are supposed to be behemoths that are hard to kill but dish out destruction as well. They're slow enough to take out if you know what you're doing, camping or not. You have MANY ways of dealing with the tanks to not end up being redlined. Dropships, swarm launchers, forgeguns, and I believe mass drivers help in the execution of those nasty beasts.

But it doesn't work like that here or in real life.

In Dust tankers shouldn't be full on tankers >_> You gotta be a kitten to believe working just ONE role will ever get you far. When your vehicle gets destroyed or when you need to cap a point or when the situation says "No tanks" those other fits and skills will be precious.

But besides like I was saying in the earlier part of my post I said yes they can sit in tanks for a whole match. You have a lower chance of dying than anyone else on the field and you also have more splash power due to rockets as well. But it's silly to think that you should never worry about fitting into other roles.
