i have 3 hardeners on my tank giving my 6k armor tank giving it around 10k armor with a 800 effective rep.
blasting forge gunners and other nonsense is quit simple, just have to keep my head and know where my tank is and what turrets are out there.
a turret can wreck my day if i am not in some form of cover.
This is why dropships need to have the open door mechanic finished. Right now they can open and close doors, but the future idea is to lets players keep shooting from the dropship. Turrets have a hard time pointing up and forge guns have great range with a height advantage. Not to mention the rain of AV gernades tat will come.
Tanks should kick ass, but there should always be a counter. It just requires skill investment and teamwork. And also for CCP to finish the game :P
Plus we are getting a new anti shield AV weapon with te arc launcher. S swarms for armor tanks and Arc for shields. Forgeguns are more of an AV sniping weapon. They can drop massive damage when far away and above the target.
The arc will on the other hand be aclose range only skill shot weapon with an arc to it's fire. 4 of them might tear a shield tanking tank apart. Finish it up with Pack AV in the back where it's weak point is, KA BOOM
ONly issue I see with tanks si they are TOO FAST. I can see cureeny tank top speed and acceleration before more minmatar level but we need some balance here.
Cadari should have lowest accelration but highest top speed. Strongest shield tank.
Minmatar should have 2nd best top speed *current tank speed* with current level accelration.
Ammar should be slow topspeed, but the highest acelleration.As a result, highest armor in the game to last in a firefight, but too slow to move out of danger or to another objective quickly.
Gallente should have 3rd best speed low accelration, but as armor tanks they shouldn't be moving faster than a fully buffed spped scout suit. UNless you fit speed mods or an after burner of crouse. But then the tank will have moments where it's on cool down and be cuaght up to. It should have the side turrets be player controlled fighter drones. *a man can dream* |
