-Increased propulsion penalty for armor platings
CCP ARE YOU KITTENING KIDDING ME ARMOR IS KITTENED UP TO OBLIVION AND YOU KITTENING NERF IT?
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD DO THAT? WHILE SHIELDS ARE CLEARLY DOMINATING YOU DECIDE TO NERF ARMOR DANG CAN'T EVEN SAY SOMETHING WITHOUT GETTING LOCKED STOP THE BIAS ALREADY CCP please for the love of god.
If you decide not to lock it I would like to hear others'opinions.

Why CAPSLOCK?

Why CAPSLOCK?

I was shouting.

You got active armor resists now, but an armor tank can beat a shield tank in top speed

For me to fit an active AH I would have to sacrifice 3000 Armor, which I'm not. Armor count of 10,000+ is better than 7,000 with 30% resist of 10 seconds. As for speed, both tanks have same top speed but armor always had slow acceleration.

Please don't go off topic and my corp name is bugged it should be Virman Interstellar Initiative

if it's going into the direction they ultimately want to take it, then it's the right thing. Just because something is out of balance right now (see missles) doesn't mean that's the way it's going to be in the end. It's a mechanic they are trying to correct, i'm sure the warm-butter armor will eventually be corrected. Or am I giving them too much credit?

I have to agree with CCP, armor tanks are a little OP at the moment. Making them slower is a good balance. It makes sense too, more armor plates the more the tank should weigh, more weight means slower movement.

True

Ive got a surya and 7k is nothing tbh not with swarms as they are

I tried dual repping but the reps are too slow and ive only got the max tank fit left

As for speed had a race tbh gunlogi vs maurader and maurader caught up and was passing me but acc is **** and will be even more **** after the patch

Be intresting to see what they twek with the slots and PG/CPU if it does affect HAVs

Whatever CCP. Armour tanks were unbelievably slow to accelerate in the first place!

Armour tanks get much slower, they'll be installations.

Armor has a resistance value of its own to begin with. Dont know the exact number but im guessing around 10 percent because a corp mate shot his proto forge gun at me and i only had 8k armor. He hit me three times to get me down to 1k and some change. That would be why the armor is nerfed.

OP, I don't see what your problem is with this. More plating for armor equals more mass. More mass means more weight. More weight means slower speed. What doesn't make sense here?

I have a question. I'm not a tank pilot nor do I ever imagine myself speccing into them but I would like to know, on what are you guys are basing your assumptions on about how a tank should perform in regards to speed, agility and hardiness on the battlefield?

I see comments related to EVE about shields and armour, but they are spaceships in zero gravity and thus whole different kettle of fish. Have you guys had experience of tanks in other games and if so which ones?

I'm not trolling here but I have always thought of tanks as rather slow, cumbersome vehicles built to withstand a large amount of damage but are not impossible to be destroyed by other tanks/Explosives/Heavy weaponry. I guess what I am really getting at is, what do you REALLY want? An armour plated Ferrari that can traverse the battlefield so fast that it can out run almost any assault on it unless cornered? Or would you prefer a slow moving fortress that can take a pounding?

Personally idc either way but i am trying to understand where you guys are coming from.
