Are you kidding me?

First everyone complains and nerfs missiles into the ground and now you want to make blaster the only effective turrent?

Seriously some of the guy on this forum need to HTFU, not get caught up in this mysterious component of games called "fairness" or "honour" and understand that even if a gun can three shot a tank it comes with significan weaknesses....

Like slow rotation speed and poor CQC targeting.....
Oh and did I mention tanks are so flimsy its ridiculous?

But railguns are an anti-vehicle weapon, of course they're going to dominate in tank vs tank.
as robert said this is a case of scissors complaining about rock

Odd, that gives me enough time to call out that they have a tank, and run to the nearest supply depot(yes, run. I don't drive well) to grab my Forge Gun and scare the hell out of them and keep em in hiding for the rest of the match.

turns out you tank guys are oddly protective of your supposedly invincible, god-tier, ultimate weapons.

Please just shut up, infantry AV can have a big effect on tank fights, and before you go all arrogant on us we may not be directly involved in most cases but we definitely have an interest in the outcome, when you tankers drop 2+ tanks onto a match full of randoms your only response is "qq more". when a tank comes out to play, we deal with it. and btw when you call out a blaster tank you are fully aware that someone on the other team might call out a railgun tank to counter you

"Oh I hate it because it unbalances tank v tank fights, but I know when I should be using it instead of a normal tank build"

that's basically what you, and/or this entire topic's tankers have said, paraphrased.

and guess what, that glass cannon tank is just that, glass. get to some cover and tell your team where it was shooting from to get a guy with a forge gun, or a railgun emplacement after it. 2-3 shots and bam, no more glass cannon problem.

I swear, sometimes people think they're the only ones on the team.

I have driven tanks, I have gunned for tankers, I've flown dropships, i've gunned in them, and even just hitched a ride to drop into the fight faster.

I prefer running around because it's easier, I'm a smaller target, and I prefer quietly moving around the field, taking gun emplacements from the enemy, and causing problems away from the objective unless I can find a couple teammates to work with(I'm no one man wrecking crew, my aim is generally crap unless I'm using something with really big bullets)

That's my whole problem it doesn't work. What you don't realize is that 2 million ISK tanks can be 3 shotted by a glass tank costing less than a million, all from the safety of the redline. The only way we managed to kill it was by getting an OB.

0 tryhard is pretty pathetic. i killed him twice almost 3 times but game ended saving his life and he killed me twice and then sends me this long msg on how i suck. he lost 2 gunnlogis and then pulled out sagaris as third tank. i lost wat 2 madugers and my third was also a maduger. and he camped in the redline the whole game. the reason he sent me hatemail was because i sent him a GG msg. it's sad really.

Only time i've come up against him he just hid in the spawn and sniped us with his tank, he actually sent us a mail apologising for his tactics afterwards, but his railgun is lethal

yeah just a load of reddots we redlined pretty quickly, but he had a forge gunner on his team with a ridiculous dps, it one shotted my 4k hp myron

But tech like hat would be expensive, and dropships and other aircraft are mass production models, it makes sense that the cheaper alternative would be chosen. also VTOL tech would be considerably more robust that anti-grav tech.

Wait...What????

A QQ thread about rails? First off that they trump Anti-Infantry tanks...Ummm yeah, working as intended.

and QQ about redline tanking?? Are you new to Dust? Wait....No, IcyTiger, you've been here a while . Did you miss all the snipers and tanks hiding behind the redline for the last few months popping infantry with little to no risk to loss?


The redline, in general, has some bad mechanics tied to it....but don't blame the tank weapon.

I've seen blaster tanks sneak up on rail tanks and pop them....rare but it happens.

Not to mention you can deal stupid amounts of damage with a high level forge guns fitted with damage mods and that gun is carried in someone's hands, not fitted on the top of a tank, and much cheaper than an actual A/V tank.


IMO, tanks need a bit more tank (generally speaking) but they also need to be restricted from pubbies at certain levels and removed from Non OMS Ambush all together.

Just made a TD soma fit to figure out the cost, it's 806,000 ISK or so. Seems balanced to me, it has absolutely no tank so its easy to kill.

the overlooked answer to dealing with a railgun tank with high dps and line of sight on the majority of the map is don't give it a target.

it's supposed to be infantry killed by blaster tanks killed by railgun tanks killed by infantry. blaster tanks should be killed by railguns EVERY TIME. also, railguns should do more dmg than puny little forge guns but they dont- WHY!?
