The main problem I have with swarms is that they have the ability to lob volleys of swarms at me without any risk really. Missiles launchers on tanks have limited distance why don't swarms? The distance isn't a big problem for me it's just the invisibllity of swarms after a long distance and the failed animation of swarms hitting a structure but registering damage on my tank. This also includes the ability to lock on through objects and shot volleys behind objects.
All that being said I know my tank dominates in public matches, and the main reason for that domination is the lack of understanding for Anti-vehicle combat. They challenge my tank when I have a hardener on and they see they are doing little chunks of damage but i am repairing that damage so quickly my tank seems god-like and they give up on trying to kill my tank. Armor hardeners last for long time but they don't last for ever, just like armor repairers. It takes teamwork to kill a tank and teamwork to keep it alive. IMO it is easier to kill a tank than keeping one alive(for ambush which I play mostly) |

A random guy shooting at a tank, even with a swarm or forge gun, isn't going to accomplish much. Whenever there's a tank , there's usually only 1 or 2 guys actually targeting it. A guy shooting from behind a rock? Send him some infantry, they only have scramblers and SMG's to defend themselves with anyway.
I think if you are going to attack my tank I should have the ability to retaliate by myself. Swarms have the ability to hit me outside of my blaster's range and if you hug my tank(which is a blind spot for my blaster) you can lob Av nades. These two things I am fine with but if you are in my range and can hit me I should be able to hit you right back.
As for my tank being immortal, I have it at the max an armor tank can get. The only thing I can do to better my tank is increase it's damage output (aka new blasters) |

Everything, besides shotguns, can hit me out of my SMG's range, I have to close the distance if I want to retaliate. The same is true for Tanks. A lock-on missile turret, that can lock-on to people and not just tanks, would be pretty cool though, but then they'd have to let swarms lock-on to people as well.
Apples and oranges. Invalid comparison. Shotguns range is small to begin with, large blaster tanks range is way bigger. I'm talking about they are in my range and able to hide(head glitch, fps talk) behind structures and still hit me while I can't do a thing but run |

Like I said LOCK-ON MISSILE TURRETS. Or just regular mortars....
Mortars aka artillery is soon tm. I think missile tanks should be able to lock on but to dropships or aerial vehicles only. |

fred orpaul wrote:You CANNOT GET A LOCK FROM BEHIND COVER!!! yes you can lock a tank that only a portion is sticking out from cover, so as far as the tanker is concerned you are behind cover, but you must be able to see at least 25% of the vehicle to get a lock. You give me a standard RPG and I will still hit you from "behind cover" and hell even more cover because the second I see 1% of your tank I will spam it as fast as I can.
Stop being stupid, stop running militia, stop running alone. Any half way decent tanker will get me or get away from me 100% of the time, if I don't get back up from my team.
if you are getting shot down as a dropship by swarm you are stupid you should never get hit by more the one round of swarm EVER.
and dont run a lav when there is av on the field I mean durrrrrrrrr.
Ugh see kids, this is what happens when you don't fully read the thread. You get upset and make a post and all it does it make you look stupid. Take so deep breathes maybe even drink some water. Then you can join in on this discussion  |

so you are saying they need to get rid of mass drivers??? or make MD rounds fly straight and have less splash. oh and grenades have to go too. I mean really that's what it comes down to. you can hit them right back as soon as you move like six feet forward or three feet back.
I am talking about av weapons(swarms and forges) not noobtubes and grenades.
I think av nades need to change. How exactly? You notice the top of the grenade, the blue part, should have I be twisted to actives it tracking mechanism. But you can throw it without twisting the av nade but it will not have the tracking feature. I don't want the twisting animation to be 3 second but should take at least 1 second. It would stop the easy nade spam |
