Orbitals seriously need fixed.
Up the WP requirement.
Create an isk cost for calling them in.
2 in squad = 2500 WP for OB 4 in squad = 5000 WP for OB
Price, well make it up.
My bro and I get 2 OB's per game atm in just our 2 man squad.
I've had several times with meh tank, people farm WP's and disregard going AV to call OB's on me only.
I mean 5 OB's from 1 squad on my tank in one match.....really? lol.
I can only take so much.
But I've been seeing it a lot lately, WP's farmed in redline ect. Its terribly easy, it should take more work. |

Not really in ambush no.
The games run so short.
I feel fairly cheap just running in ambush with my tank, I'd rather have a challenge. |

The heck with WP, why not just charge 500,000 ISK to call one in? That brings the cost roughly comparable with a fitted militia tank.
However, if they do up the WP, then they need to let people store up WP and burn them like LP. Just because YOU can earn them by yourself in a match doesn't mean everyone can. |

That is a nice isk charge, but with no other limiting factor it would allowed to be spammed.
A full squad with a WP increase should be able to get 1 OB per match, which is what it should be. |

Agree with this to some extent. OBS are so easy to get in organised squads. CCP has just made it too easy get OBS. I agree with the ISK factor involved in getting those OBS. I also think they should be removed from pub matches. Thats my my opinion though. |

A single squad farmed WP for 5 orbitals and you couldn't slow them down? I would think it a trivial task to prevent four guys from all earning ~3000 WP. |

There's ways to farm it from way behind the redline. I'm giving no secrets, there's also an OB glitch to have your WP's recounted into the same squad. |

You better STFU about that. We dont want people knowing those secrets. Unlike AFK farming this secret has some value in corp matches. |

Agreed, however,
Its getting ridiculous.
Spamming OB's should not be an option.
Although I'm referring to tanks a lot.
Av specialized is ridiculous as is, lot of people trying to kill me.
Yet no matter what I do 95% of my deaths are from OB's being spammed,

Sniping from behind the red line to farm WP will probably get nerfed, and if not it should.
Also, we absolutely SHOULD discuss exploits/bugs and the like. Not discussing it or not bringing bugs/glitches to light is how you end up with a broken game that people stop playing. This is an open beta. We are supposed to discuss stuff like this, not doing so just hurts the games progress.
Sure, go ahead and do it until it gets fixed. It's not your fault things get overlooked in the games development, but if you don't bring it to the developers attention, you are just ensuring the game gets more and more broken.

Sorry. With what I have seen in the past things get over nerfed. There is no middle ground of balance. Any glitch or exploit I find stays with me from here on. |

So from what you just said there's a glitch that you want to use and not to tell so you can abuse it against other's |

How many matches can a Tank diver go 25+/0 and making 300,000+ ISK?
I see many tank drivers bragging about going many matches they go without losing a tank.
When they do lose one they should have earned enough to re-buy it.
But instead they come to the forum and complain that what ever killed them is OP/too easy. |

1-2
Then tank is lost.
Average 250k isk per game at 20 kills.
Tank costs 800k give or take a bit depending on fit.
If you play ambush only, your chances are better, with lower isk. |

This is the mindset that got tanks to the point of broken feature nerfs, ie missiles among others, don't bring that in this thread. |

My comment was attached to a question regarding cost, not skill or "overpowered-ness".
Edit: I'm not trying to be hostile so please don't take it that way. I've seen plenty of tank drivers do just fine in militia HAVs. I'm all for having an HAV on the field, be it for my team to discourage enemy movement and being a big help in redlining (though that gets a bit boring) or being on the opposing team and providing a fun challenge. I just don't see the need to call in an "expensive" tank just to have it wasted in a public match when it would be much more cost effective to call in a less expensive one. Then again, I've never seen you in action so I can't really say much about what you do or don't drive.
Again, not trying to be hostile or incur the wrath of any future nerf hammers. |

Ya but that made it easier to Nerf them, tank drivers are like 2% of the player base, our voice is quite.
I refuse to do that now.

also get wps in a tank is uber easy, doesnt really show the problem(not that there even is one), now when your two man squad is running strictly assault and getting multiple ob's then it will be relevant. |

The last part we do.
If I'm in my tank we can get 3.
If I'm LR or AR and my bro is always AR, we're almost always guaranteed at least 2 |

I say they scrap OB's and put something else in. How about when you hit 2500 WP's you can just point and click and what ever you pointed at dies... OH and it has a huge radius....

Right, so then no one would ever use it because its exceedingly difficult to earn 500,000+ISK in a match, thus making orbitals never profitable.
Plus who the hell has a Militia HAV that costs 500k? My Madrugar costs around that and does very well against most enemy HAVs. |

As HAV driver here's what goes through my mind on installations,
I have 16 opposing enemys to worry about.
At any time anyone of them can pull out swarms or forge gun.
Any one could have AV grenades, anyone could drop a tank or more.
I blow up all installations, even the friendly ones before they are captured.
I don't want a blue turret to turn red as a nasty surprise when I know I can eliminate the threat first, then worry about the other 16 enemys and not the auto aim, perfect shot installations.
If all were left alive and my team captured them all, that would turn the tide of the battle as well.

If it is all about skill, why do tank drivers hurry to take out installations? its not about skill, it is about creating an uneven playing field in ones favor. OB helps control the balance of power. As HAV driver here's what goes through my mind on installations, I have 16 opposing enemys to worry about. At any time anyone of them can pull out swarms or forge gun. Any one could have AV grenades, anyone could drop a tank or more. I blow up all installations, even the friendly ones before they are captured. I don't want a blue turret to turn red as a nasty surprise when I know I can eliminate the threat first, then worry about the other 16 enemys and not the auto aim, perfect shot installations. If all were left alive and my team captured them all, that would turn the tide of the battle as well. HAV won't risk team incompetence during a pub match. Can you withstand a OB?
Depends, with hardners and reps already on, yes if it isn't a direct hit.
If one of the strike beams hits you though, that's at least 12,000 direct damage plus splash from the other strike beams. |

if WP could be kept from match to match like isk and OBs were made more expensive then there would be incentive to save OBs not incentive to spend them even tho you are pounding the other team into a fine powder.

Trying to be as humble and honest as I can. If a squad earns a OB, they should always put it on the biggest threat, or to clear a area for the capp. I always put my OB on the tank, but than again, I try not to play ambush due to the amount of tanks, and how fast the rounds are. By the time you get in good position to engage a tank or get a OB, the round is half way over. |

ohh, than I say, drop all orbitals on the tanks :) no offense, it should be mandatory doctrine that every corp follows. I just have a thing about blowing ish up, and when I see a tank, i love breaking the AV out, kinda like hunting and chasing bow legged women 0o |

lol that's how it should be though,
Av hunts, but people want AR hunting. So they farm the WP's or use OB glitches to take care of AV problems.
As if AV wasn't already bad enough.

Tanks are not that bad, the ones I drop OB's on are the cliff hanger snipers. You are correct about AV, if used right, it can and will be a tank drivers worst nightmare.
I was actually thinking, what about flares on vehicles that can be deployed to eliminate the lock of swarms? only get 1 or 2 per vehicle that can not be replinished. |

I truly believe that alot of us have the mentality that we want to destroy the tank, so we hunt it down. The people that complain about the tank, is the ones that have not got the stop, drop and roll mentality, which requires you to stop what you are doing, drop the me me me attitude, and help the team destroy the tank...NOW!
once that is accomplished, than I will have major sympathy for tank drivers, but I see that no time soon. |

True, if its all randoms in a pub, I don't worry about much other then OB's.
But, you get a Corp squad in it, which is 60/50 chance and they know what they're doing,
The tank becomes a useless asset. If not hiding the rest of the match in the redline, u dead.
But people can def solo tanks with the mindset you have, ya a group of them, you should feel bad. |

40 kills plus 40-50
80=4000 WP's plus squad leader bonus.

I don't, on average I get 2500+ WP each skirmish match fairly easily. If I had another person who could do the same, like Fizzy or TryHard514, then we will get 2+ OBs no problem without running medic. A squad of 3 of us plus another guy and we'll be hitting 3+ OBs no problem. I feel it's important to note however that farming WP is much, much easier in pubs where you can avoid the real competition and focus on the easy points for OBs.
I wouldn't mind them taking both tanks & OBs out of pubs
I was a tanker in a previous build, I'm thinking it was probably 3-4 builds ago now, back when the missile launchers were insanely awesome; but since that's all my tanking experience I don't want to talk too much on the subject of how difficult or easy it may be to keep a well fit tank alive in a match; but not long ago a corp mate of mine was dropping 2m isk Sagaris tanks for us to use, and using a blaster tank I was posting 45-0, 51-0, and other high kill counts w/o deaths in Skirmish matches against organized groups with no problem and while dealing with a lot of AV, tons of forge & swarms.
From my experience I have yet to see how tanking is actually difficult, but I don't feel my opinion is worth even a penny until I've tanked against other competent tankers and have faced well known clans that are respectable in terms of syncing attacks & being somewhat spec'd into AV. When my corp encounters enemy vehicles often times we'll band together with some AV and focus fire on the vehicle at the same time, doing burst damage in hopes that it won't have enough time to get away to repair. In my time with tanks I haven't played against any group of people who have done that against me, so IDK how it is from the other perspective.
I do think that OBs are too easy to get, however I don't think they are really FREE. Sure, you don't have to spend SP to get them but you do have to perform and earn WP to get it and in doing so you risk losing fits. One could argue that its possible to earn a OB using militia fits, and thus being free of any risk of losing isk while earning said WP, but if you're being bossed around by players in militia fits enough for constant OBs to actually be a problem then I feel you're doing it wrong. I think that having to work to obtain something nullifies the possibility of it being considered free, but my gripe with that portion of this thread is more of a semantic issue.
Being able to get 3-5 orbitals that are powerful enough to take out such expensive tanks with ease isn't right or fair IMO, however I really do like having it as an option to take down a ridiculous tank. It sucks being in a match full of randoms that are terribad, and being the only one trying to take down a tank and being unsuccessful over and over again, it's nice to be able to turn my focus to other things, get WP doing that, and eventually have the means to take that tank out... even though it can be called in right after they respawn anyway.
A raise in the WP required to get OBs wouldn't bother me much, and/or putting a cap on how many OBs can be called in per team.
I also think that being able to call in tanks in Ambush pubs is a bit ridiculous, the matches end entirely too fast and the maps are too small. After someone calls in a ridiculous tank and starts rolling around in it the clone counts drop insanely fast and anyone who tries to call in a HAV to counter it is likely to get ganked or have their vehicle blown up before having a chance to fight back. Often times by the time you can really get in the position to threaten a good tanker in a respectably fit tank, especially if he has competent infantry with him, too much of a steamroll has taken place and the match is lost anyway. I see calling in prototype blaster tanks an "I win" button for ambush. |

My bro and I get 2 OB's per game atm in just our 2 man squad.
I've had several times with meh tank, people farm WP's and disregard going AV to call OB's on me only.
I mean 5 OB's from 1 squad on my tank in one match.....really? lol.
I can only take so much.
But I've been seeing it a lot lately, WP's farmed in redline ect. Its terribly easy, it should take more work. Some one is using a valueable wmd to kill u, one person Feel honored |

okay so your saying you farmed and ob glitched... ofcourse it's easy then
You can farm points in any mmo, thats just how it is, if they are taking the time to farm, they will be losing by the time they can call one in.

Nope I don't farm.
Point of this thread is people farm them and glitch them.
You have 2 tanks on field. Enemy AV isn't competent at all, all militia starter fits.
Redline team farms OB's, destroys tanks, you become redlined.
I've seen it first hand after my tank goes down from OB.
They can def change outcomes.
In skirmish a redline match switching halfway through to the other team becoming redlined will easily let the original redlined team win. |

One of the times, and possibly the only time I've seen YOUR NAME HERE in a match he was running assault suit and LR. Every time I see his brother he is running assault and AR; I've been impressed by him.
http://s1320.beta.photobucket.com/user/James5954/media/72and4_zps6a4dc590.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2
Ran around in B-series assault suit, ARing all game and the people who were there can vouch for it. Sorry that I don't have recording equipment, but it's plenty possible. Almost earned 2 OBs myself that match, and between our squad of 3 we almost had 4. On great matches with a full squad we've earned 4-5 fairly consistently, all depends on the flow of the match.. if its action packed or if people are quick to get pushed to the redline and make it a snorefest. |

Doubt you will.
You saw the pic right? You understand all WP's were earned from kills, assists and squad bonus's to both of those?
Its not hard.
Its already been said by others, earning a personal OB in skirmish is a given. |

For sure man, they just need to hurry up and make the clan matches larger in terms of playercounts xD
While smashing on randoms is fun for awhile it gets so stale X.x |

sounds like another obs destroyed my tank argument, if you cant do anything outside of tanks you deserve to get red lined.
100% chance I break 100 with 5 orbitals, if I can hit 56 with only 2 mill in sp in my character I could easily hit 70 without any obs with protogear. |

Play enough and you may be able to, but even then you know it's only against garbage randoms. SP makes a difference but I wouldn't act like it's the end all be all, I can run around in my type II assault suit and compete just fine.. and outside of my upgrade from type II to b-series I'm about at the same point. Bad randoms that can't aim are easy to kill regardless of what gear you have unlocked, just need the right setting.. a garbage team, a garbage enemy team, them being dumb and bad enough to die so many times, and a fairly even match allowing plenty of time.
Accomplishments from farming kills of of noobs pales in comparison to accomplishments earned against good teams.
Being able to farm garbage players under the right circumstances isn't that impressive, and neither is hiding from real competition while farming the easy kills so you can post a pic of your end kills/deaths on FB and act like you got that score against good competition. Please dude, if you ever want good players to take you seriously then you shouldn't hide from competition, you should welcome it.
Funny how the guy who always talks about how I'm a camper was so easy to hide from me all game, lol. If I weren't using a laser rifle that match I would've been more than happy to run up on you with an AR and show you how it's done, yet you talk about me using that LR from a distance like it's a bad thing and like I didn't have to.. if you knew anything about LRs, you'd know that run and gunning isn't a great choice when using one; my fitting with it makes me incredibly weak in EHP and easy to kill, if I move up anywhere near ARs optimal range I'd die with ease. Range is essential with that gun, use it some time and see for yourself.
If only I had the ability to record still...
MAG tryhard with a ego too big for him to fill, trying to justify himself by scoring high kill games against bad players. Priceless. |

You do know who this is right?
How did farming noobs carry over for you in the 3C vs ~^~ match?
Your style of gameplay won't ever keep you sharp, poaching kills with lasers from 100 meters away is uber easy, up in your face gun game translates well to corp matches.
Went 3-0 in corp battles today and never lost a gun fight. |

You talk about my style of gameplay as if you even know my style of gameplay.
Talk with ANYONE who plays with me, I hardly ever use the laser rifle. Honestly, I've probably only used laser rifle in maybe 10-15 matches in my entire Dust time. The match that I kept you hiding from me, while we captured and held 2/3 letters almost all match long, I was still new to the laser rifle and getting used to it. Honestly, I don't think the laser rifle is even that good. Sure it can melt people quickly when at the right range, but the AR is much more versatile and drops people quickly.
I haven't used the LR in quite awhile now and I usually don't unless it's a very open map & the enemy team is using a lot of heavy suits, because under those circumstances the LR is better. Any other time AR > LR, IMHO. 95%+ of the time I've played dust, I'm in an assault suit, run and gunning with AR. You're welcome to ask anyone who's played against me or plays with me, I stick with my assault suit & AR.
[mag]
3C vs Flock means little to nothing and anyone who knew anything about that match would know that, but you being as ignorant as you are; of course you still cling onto that and use it against me. It's the ONLY thing you have on me, and the fact that I was able to constantly push against an entrenched 3C & friends during that phase of MAG while going positive and holding MVP says a lot; you're the only person who looks down at me from those matches, everyone else seems to think highly of me because of it. & I don't blame them, because I was on the losing side, pushing constantly for the win, and against "the best" clan (and friends, it's no mystery that 3C brought in ringers for that match).

I seem to recall this thread being something about orbitals and them needing a bit of tweaking because it's too easy to earn them due to how much isk in gear it can destroy?
Uggh, such mixed feelings on the subject, being an assault/AR guy that's barely spec'd into AV yet. Can't wait til later on when I'm done specing into my specialty and can branch out more, can't wait for proto swarms Protosuits first though, CBs ftw. I mean who cares about losing dropsuit that costs ~70k (IIRC) when the contract is worth millions?
I think it's hard to say how anything can be considered balanced during such a state of the game when there's so much information missing, who knows how things could change a couple of months from now. It'll be interesting once people have more of a chance to branch out SP wise, I expect most people are still trying to become content with their own chosen playstyle regarding gear and skills. Most AV I've spec'd into so far is grenadier level 2.. which honestly, if someone hasn't done that yet, I highly recommend it, packed AV grenades are quite an improvement for such a small amount of invested SP. 1 packed AV grenade and about several GEK shots = dead LAV and some lawls. |

However, if they do up the WP, then they need to let people store up WP and burn them like LP. Just because YOU can earn them by yourself in a match doesn't mean everyone can.
Half a mill? Are you insane? Who would spend that much ISk on a little strike? |

YOUR NAME HERE,
Hmm, how to respond. You inspire people. This is accomplished by how you postulate, mock and/or irritate on the Forums. You drive monster versions of HAVs that many people have been killed by and you do it well and repeatedly. You are arrogant about it and suffer ... well, hardly anyone for any reason.
Your name is very easy to remember and is very visible in CAPS* so even a quick perusal of the player list will have it jumping out at people. And on the kill log as well one might note. It might help those that have had certain interactions with you to moments of that inspiration previously mentioned.
Farming WP is the name of the game and is what many consider HAV drivers do the entire time they are in battle. So that comment does seem a little off coming from you or any HAV driver.
When we are closely integrated with EVE we will see if CCP changes it but for now this is what we have. Adding an ISK cost to it is unwieldy and nearly impossible to work in battle as any Market interaction can break the game**.
You have your fame. It came with a bulls eye on it. One that is usable with an OB.

I as well have to take issue with this post.
So not only do you want the counter to someone running amok in a tank nerfed, you are also going to abuse a glitch where it serves you?
Yeah, you are not worth considering.

Have only tested the glitch once.
To me, OB'S aren't important.
If you can't get an OB solo, then I understand Why you think they're some kind of special reward.
For the time being I only know of 3 people including myself that know the glitch. It's hardly used, we don't care to share it publicly. However has been submitted as a bug via private with Ccp. |

I don't think this should be such a discussed topic. Tankers complain when they get killed by OB's but any good tank can survive an OB (most of the time). I doubt people would drop as many OB's on them if they were not constantly being spammed in pub ambush matches, builds a real angst towards them. I think that once the squad size is increased the WP total for OB's should be rehashed but until then its a fine system. Even in a match where a good squad gets 3-5 OB's how big of an effect did it have on the battlefield? Not nearly as much as the tank did i'm sure. So I'm not gonna say quit crying because there are many valid points brought up in here, but you're blaming the wrong people. Dont blame the good squad for dropping the OB's on you, blame the newberries that are getting mowed down |

lol I def know where you are coming from,
It's not really all that much about tanks, that was just a side note for the glitches and spamming of them.
Ob's though do change the battlefield outcome. It killed the tank right? was that oppresing the other team from taking objectives?
Battlefield changed.
However you must admit that it is to easy, to get an OB solo, it's kind of crazy and I'd like to see WP's increased for it, now,
I'm not saying increase it for everything an example would be
1 Man squad, 1250 WP, 2 man 2500, 3 man 3750, 4 man 5000.
Thats pretty reasonable isn't it? each member should be able to get a lil' over 1000 WP's per game and if you squad is smaller, it won't take as many WP's to get one.
I'm not saying use the exact numbers above, but thats how i'd like to see it work.
Regardless of tanks, these things are super easy to get, super destructive, and can change the tide of the battle if well played, and not newberry planned
EDIT,
The tanks survival has many factors that it depends on.
The biggest factor is a direct hit, if the Strike beam directly hits your tank, it instantly deals over 12,000 damage to your tank, PLUS the damage dealt via splash from the other beams coming down.
If you are hit with splash alone, you can tank it, if not, you can't.
It's situational on where the strike was called and where the beams will hit. |
