Why does the D@mn thing move like it's got a turbokit installed? Is the insane firepower not enough? I don't want to hear any pathetic excuses like... "Well, I drive a tank and I have to use a lot of skill and ISK to drive one so I should be able to move at 200mph" or my favorite "Well tanks die pretty easily with "X" weapon and "X" Nade, it's not like I'm going 30-0 or anything that it even matters".....BS and weak. Nerf the speed, thats all I'm asking.


Also, why am I the only one on my team ever trying to take these things out. You just died 5 times in a row to the guy in the tank, and our team is getting destroyed by it when do you think it's gunna be a good time to stop worrying about getting to your favorite sniper spot and switch to an AV class!?

Apparently a lot of these drivers have gotten really good at maneuvering...

Regardless, no TANK should ever be moving that fast. I mean isn't it common sense when designing a tank that it should be slow?

Beat me to saying this. Our american tanks are equipped with engines that require the same fuel our spaceships do. It's pretty intense stuff and pricey. But it goes fast and is pretty mobile and is I believe the best armored of all tanks as far as defensive goes.

20,000 years later, they should be flying. Or at least hovering.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the tanks. Guaranteed, they are balanced perfectly well. ..and no, I'm not, nor have ever been, even close to using one. I'm speaking strictly from a support/targets perspective. Heavies are far more threatening, and I can almost be certain they get more kills. ..they probably die more to, but that goes with the territory.

The problem is that most of the consistent tank drivers are very good.

Everyone else drives a tank and dies easy.

Its not the tanks that need nerfed its the players.

Pro Tip: Canister in the back don't like to be tickled on tanks. Throw an AV nade at it and prepare for hate mail.

Anyone remember when shooting at those canisters with an AR would cause some nice damage? xD

Destroyed a sica (caldari militia tank), two somas (Gallente Militia Tank) and a madrugar (Gallente better-than militia tank) tonight, and slapped two dropships out of the sky.

It's called pumping skills into forge guns and not being a pud and using the militia ****.

three shots for the militias, the sica died in two. the madrugar took a bit of jack-in-the-box action.

Assault forge guns: accept no substitute (and pray there's no enemy infantry nearby when you zero the tank)

i heard that millita swarmers/Forges can take down 3 million ISK Proto tanks easly, as long as you're have the skill for the weapons. kinda makes one sad that you spent all this money for a Proto tank only to have it destroyed by cheap hardware so easly. but then again, i'm not realy complaining. cheap gear should be a option as well.
i personaly hate SMERFS who don't look at the chat and see that they need to switch to a Forge/swarmer class and fing destroy them. You destroy one, it an't coming back. those things are too expensive to send more than one per player.
