I dont see a problem. Skill into forge guns.

Yesterday in ambushes, I took down at least 4 to 5 tanks. They were not best out there, but was able to do it on my own.
When you have a good tank on the field, then it can be tricky but not impossible.
Teamwork, good AV stuff, or if you fail in that, one orbital should do the work if you can get it in ambush.

i Guarentee that if 3 forge gunners with adv or proto guns spawned on your team and waited for the train to come down those 3 tanks woulda started to run pretty quickly... and for 1/10th the sp and ISK cost

This argument is bull****. Youre almos NEVER going to be in a match where 2 or 3 random players have skilled into proto forge then, even IF this occurs, you are suggesting that they all just happen to be standing in the same place like they are gathered around the campfire waiting for the Sagaris Soul Train to come rolling past. What version of dust are you playing?!

We are too far along skill point wise for forge guns alone to be a successfull counter against teams fielding multiple tanks. HAV fittings are getting better and better every day.

The proto forge gun can pop any tank and if it has elevation, can wreck infantry too. I DEMAND A NERF!!

All you have said is that your pissed that a single guy with 2 points into granades cant single handedly take down 3 tanks, just annoy them.


Working as Intended, build a proper anti AV fit and play with friends if it bothers you. I had the same trick pulled on me today and guess what... they were short 3 tanks at the end of the match.


Its balanced, its fine.


(edit for hilarity: We took out the tanks with 2 Heavy forge gunners, one with ADV forge and me in a full militia heavy forge, and a few AV granades on the side)

*do not bypass the forum censor* - CCP Eterne

My tank runs on tears.

Yeah, I'll be sure to rely on a random pub match players to bring proper AV from now on

Get real dude. Would be nice if CCP included a feature in the game which shows who is speced into what before the match starts. That way I can leave the match before 3 noob tankers dominate without resistance.

Stop defending garbage gameplay mechanics, fanboy.

Thing is, people spec into tanks because our first objective In every game is to win. AV is so situational, the SP put into it could easily be placed in other areas to keep you alive against a scout, and out DPS an assault. People with 500k SP simply will not start the game thinking "hey. I'm going to give up shotguns, mass drivers, assault rifles, heavy machine guns, tanks, dropships, snipers, lasers, and everything else that makes the game worthwhile playing in the majority of scenarios to specialise in anti-vehicle weapons, which are extremely situational and make me as easy to kill as a snail without a shell against a merc with half my SP who has speced into assault rifles."

No. Currently the best tanks are run by those who've used the 100k SP from closed beta, the week head start, the experience from closed beta and that event where vehicles were cheap, passive and active boosters, all on their rolling death machine.

Those who've specialised into AV simply cannot just overlook everything else. Swarm launchers will need a scout or assault build to earn them ISK. Heavies too, need to specialise into other skills to keep them alive, now that more and more people understand how to frustrate a fatty.

I understand that tankers do not always run tanks. But given the above bonuses, they don't need to specialise into anything else.

I play with only the starter fits sometimes, when I'm running solo or even in a squad without a heavy to support. I still can go positive. I still kill people with advanced gear. And when I see that golden opportunity to whip out my dropship, I pilot it in militia gear, having never broken into my expensive suits all game. And it rocks.

These opportunities, at the current state of the game, appear more frequently for tanks, and the danger is less, I'd presume, if your tank is speced into as far as my dropship, and I haven't even used sp boosters, ever.

So until heavy aircraft come out with giant incendiary bombs that turn your tanks into molten steel, have fun ruling the ground. The sky is where it's at.

Your single tank would have been devastated. More like your noob-squad of tanks run on tears, cause you have no talent and have to rely on numbers to dominate non-squad random players on the other team

Sad most tankers have no gunplay skill... But I guess it makes sense. Your last resort would have been a heavy Such FPS noobs.

ITT: "I can't kill three people who are working together by myself with low quality equipment! UNFAIR! Nerf teamwork!"
