There's a few issues with tanks I'd like to have a chat about.

Currently skilled AV can do terrible things to our tanks that will make us corner cry and hide behind the redline or simply die.

It takes only 1 mind you, and AV isn't a hard thing to skill into, the SP requirements are very low compared to tanks.

What I'd like to see is tanks have a double hp buff.

I think it would solve a lot of issues currently,

Some AV things need looked at. AV grenades for 1, we don't even know how much damage they do, but its a lot.

I'd also like to see missile launchers be fixed. At this point they're wasting space in game.

Rails need around a 2.0 meter splash increase.

Shield tanks need collision corrected, you hit one with an LAV or armor tank, and it blows up. Hell you hit a wall and they blow up.

Swarm launchers need either a range reduction or damage decrease. Yes yes people will say they do nothing, that's because your shooting a shield tank, they're made to resist missiles. Armor, not at all. Proto is ridiculous, even advanced your looking at
300 damage per missile times 6 missiles times 4 in a clip.

When one hits you, the others are in the air, combined with range and peek a boo tactics, good luck.

Forge guns are fine. They do exactly what they should.

Shield tanks def need either hp buff or for their hardners to run longer with a shorter cool down.

The keyboard and joystick need to be on equal grounds, the joystick should equal the keyboard.

The mouse needs to be fixed for tank turrets, its terribly bad.

The Surya and Sagaris need to have a better role definition, add siege mode to them, or give them appropriate slots to set them apapart from standard tanks, give Surya 1 more low and Sagaris 1 more high.

Any other thoughts ideas, disagreements are welcome.

I'd like to see what people say and see if we can come to an agreement.

The player base is 90% AR 1% AV 9% assortment.

So please don't just give some wack answer because you drove a militia tank this one time, or use your starter fits.

I'm looking for comments from skilled AV players and tank drivers alike to see where we went wrong in closed beta on balancing these things.

Thanks for the hate in advance!

[Y0UR NAME HERE] OK where to start ??? rails i love railguns a 3.5 M splash is fine with me Remeber 5 M splash ! come on I used the railgun like a GOD in the last build with 5 m splash and if i say over kill its over kill 2.5 ok but 3.5 hits the mark and its not over kill and its not like your shooting a fine steel rod that's a hit or F off ! lets see next HP buff time 2?? Hell no well not times 2 anyways. "Shield tanks def need either hp buff or for their hardners to run longer" and shield tanks need a higher Pass regen that's all all tanks need a small boost in resist for pass mods "The mouse needs to be fixed for tank turrets, its terribly bad." the mouse is fine you want a mouse for every thing then why not make this a PC game ! 2nd This is NOT WoT DO YOU KNOW HOW GOD EZ IT WILL TO USE RAIL GUNS AND BLASTERS??? w8 yes you do thats why you asked. "The Surya and Sagaris need to have a better role definition, add siege mode to them, or give them appropriate slots to set them apapart from standard tanks, give Surya 1 more low and Sagaris 1 more high." im with a 6th slot its that or give back old resists "The mouse needs to be fixed for tank turrets, its terribly bad." NO NICE TRY THO ! Not WoT here sorry "The keyboard and joystick need to be on equal grounds, the joystick should equal the keyboard." KBnM is good for Run and Gun joystick is good for driving tanks and flying. you cant have one do all or this game will go down hill faster then a soma with 3 t M nanos and a Speed boster going down the cliff from MT **** on the 3 point map ! Currently skilled AV are fine there how they where back in the june build and EA to fix give tanks there resist back from that time they only became hated when CCP nreffed AV After see how BAD FURRY could wipe out a team of tanks in the EA biuld BY HIS SELF With JUST A SCOUT SUIT Pro SL and Nano Hives !(AV nades if you feel like it) "I'd also like to see missile launchers be fixed. At this point they're wasting space in game." just here this out give L missiles launchers 10 m spash but can only fire 1 missile every 5 sces LIKE A RAILGUN if the milles hits dead on its 800-1500 dmg its splash is only 100 - 250 to<--- ez lets say 50 -150 GOOD :) and you see fixed the " hay guys if you dont mined im going to call in my missile tank and farm some kills form this hill here with out aiming" AV is fine ! well not forguns the gun is to pinpoint let go back to the EA build how it was and we fixed it !(just no across the map ranged)
