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!? |

Flat speed is not the same as maneuverability. I am pretty sure a tank moving full speed will be dammed to hit anything.
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? |

@ OP. It's not uncommon to see shield tanked HAV's with Propulsion systems. It's all about how they fit their tank. I'm sorry if you also can't do math.
40 m/s=144 Kmph
144 Kmph < 200 Mph by a long shot
40 m/s = base speed of LAVs. Takes a lot of sacrifice to get your HAV going that fast.
I'm sorry if your so desperate to look smart that you took an obvious exaggeration too seriously. Also, I don't care about your math. When I'm getting shot at by a tank and I frantically run for safety behind cover, it's not OK when that tank is back again on my ass before I can even count to 2. Or better yet when I'm trying to take out a tank and the thing runs off faster than I can fire my swarmer. These situations will only get worse as the better advanced and Prototype tanks start becoming more common.
The speed of the tanks right now is too much, it does make me feel a little better that tanks have to be equipped with certain boosters to get this kinda of speed but I still don't think it's alright. I would gladly trade a health buff for the tanks with a speed nerf.
I don't see how you guys can even deny this. By design, anything that is HUGE, Has TONS of HP, and INSANE Firepower, SHOULD BE SLOW!
Look at the Heavy and tell me I'm wrong. |

If you think something should be in the game based on real life examples, then this game must really disappoint you. |

^^ maybe the problem with the AV tank balance is that it is rare that you can't take out on your own.maybe it should be the other way around and have it be rare that you CAN take out a tank on your own. due to the number of seats I do think it should take 3 people using AV's of the same tier to be able to blow us up. this is from a tank driver so yes it is biased but think about it for a minute. if it is rare to find a tank that you can't take out on your own.... is that really truely balanced I don't have the answer and I know what I think should be what it takes will make tanks gods again because blue dots are idiots.
I agree, buff the tank, I've said numerous time in other threads that being able to take out a tank with a couple of nades or a single swarm launcher( No matter how hard it may be) is again, not realistic (Where have I heard this before?). Buff the HP but please just reduce the speed, that is more than a decent trade off. |

just so you know, you can take out a real tank with a smaw or RPG by yourself if you know how to use cover. it's been done before and there are stories out there.
A tank shouldn't just steamroll a team, it makes it to powerful. you should be cautious of AA infiltry, not be "i'm a tank, i can't be kill Dur Dur."
With that argument then the take is perfectly fine as is and should just warrant for the speed decrease right?  |
