I need to know before think about buying any more packs if tanks in there current state are how they plan to stay. Or should i just start saving for a new pc for planetside or new next get console for destiny? Currently when they are correctly fitted are invincible to low grade AV and just recharge damage from level 3 AV weapons. Players are abusing this and raping players with tanks. They are able to hide in red line areas of the map and then return fully charged. I like mix infantry and vehicle combat but do not like it when it is dominated by tanks. Most games balance tanks with tank crews. This requires gunner and driver. Also games balance tanks by making the driver get out to repair the tank or have others repair the tank. Tanks are just god mode and do not make the game fun. Tanks do not even have ammo. Tankers from eve say that ccp games are not fair and often brutal. I have heard that EVE is filled with greifers and don't know whey anyone would want to play it. I cant get any of my friends to play dust for than a few days because they are destroyed by high level players or tanks. So developers is this how you plan to leave tanks in dust? A response would be nice i have purchased several packs for this game and supported it and tried to spread the word.

try and use more the low level AV and you will quickly see that tanks are only a problem for the noobs or when someone calls out 4 of them that is a problem......

I can blow up most tanks with an assault forge gun. also if you in your suit starts to take damage do you duck in cover to stop yourself from dieing? tanks do the same unless they want to get blown up.

squad up with luch or ted they'll tell you how easy it is to take out a tank now.

Ive got Packed av nades level 3 swarm launchers and proximity mines and 3 damage mods i can kill militia tanks but good ones just run away.

To be honest dude just play the game. Winers will get trolled. Plus your in sver true blood, and your wining. Last time I check sver true blood has the best tanks in the game. You should feel ashamed crying on the forums. If you can't win get help from your tankers like Zdowgg. If not go play planerside. We seriously could care less that you keep dying from tanks. play the game. I'm not flaming you. But seriously HTFU and get help from your corp mates.

DEVS are tanks how they are intened?

I couldn't bring myself to read OP, because it got stupid pretty quick, but to answer the actual title of the thread


The answer is most definitely "NO".

Several features are missing from the game at present.

• Vehicles will eventually be governed by capacitor, and it will be required to fire turrets or activate modules. As a result many fits will have to sacrifice tank in order to keep up the ability to run reps and fire continuously.
• With cap comes cap warfare. An old devblog mentioned a dropship fighting a marauder HAV by hitting it was cap destabilizers. I'd be incredibly surprised if we don't see cap destabilizing grenades, mines, or weapons for infantry.
• Electronic warfare of other forms is also missing. A HAV's greatest power, greater than its eHP, is its ability to get out of the way when things start to go bad. Imagine if you had a stasis webifier to reduce its speed by 60%, and it could potentially do the same to you.
• Other forms of eWar include target painters, ECM (breaks target locks), and sensor dampeners (increase lock time? debuff scan resolution? Not sure how they might work).
• There are a plethora of new weapons, vehicles, and dropsuits that have not yet been implemented.

So no, nothing in the game is currently "as intended".

4 tanks can actually be an disadvantage for the team if all the seats are taken, that leaves just 4 soldiers to intercept the enemy AV infantry. I find it harder to go against 1-2 tanks than four. There is much more room on the battlefield when most of the enemy team are located safely in the tanks.
