Was just in a match where the enemy had 7 tanks at the start of the match, is this working as intended? |

Anyone can spawn a tank as long as they have one fitted and can stay alive long enough for it to drop.
The scenario you suggest is one of the reasons I have no problems with CCP kicking swarm launchers damage up a notch, should they choose to do that, or with the current damage and use of AV grenades. |

i believe theirs a 5 limit tank per team (not a 100% on that tho) so likely chance a few of those tanks were 'borrowed' from your team.

AV weaponry already do enough damage as is, if not they do too much damage as their is no/little real reason for most people to spec into AV roles as militia gear is still very strong even against spec'd up tanks |

What they need to do is remove tanks from ambush. I have seen 7k hp tanks get popped in 3 shots more times than I can remember so I do not support the idea of increasing AV damage. |

No. I don't even attempt to drive a tank and I still say no. This is just wanting to penalize someone for their chosen role because it seems you don't like it. |

Okay, didn't know what the cap was. I just remembered not being able to spawn more than 2 tanks at a time, but someone in my corp said it was just the frequency of the tank spawns that are limited. It's definitely likely that someone on our team "sabotaged" us by abandoning a tank for enemy hack, such is EVE!
I can see this being an annoyance at worst in pub matches, but I wholly believe this sort of thing points to the need of decoupling OBs from WP in corp battles. It's practically impossible to do anything (including gaining WP) if the enemy has several rail tanks blasting the RDV's from the sky and snipers behind 1-way cover. If I could just have my alt OB every 2 minutes, that could serve as a great equalizer and really drive home the value of having EVE friends in orbit.
As I've been saying: What good is having friends in space if you can't earn the WP for them to make a difference? It's just flair added to the NPC bombardments... almost no human needed on the other end. |

Just remember that those OBs from Eve friends might not come anyway as they could be under attack or destroyed by the time you get the WPs. |
