Tanks are disrespected and seen as trolls just like anything that is effective on the field. Tanks unlike dropsuits take a huge amount of skill points they are like a monster that keeps saying feed me and I will make you strong. You spend so much time grinding and grinding to fit the best modules and you gain so much in game experience. People come at you with av grenades, flux grenades, forge guns, swarm launchers, orbital strikes, instillations, and vehicles but still people are crying op without actually respecting the difficult it takes to pilot a tank. And still there are even more anti vehicle weapons coming honestly whenever I am in a game I can have almost half of the enemy team equipped with anti vehicle weapons and trying to kill me. Because I move so fast on the field and my team mates mostly focus on points I receive little support as it is hard for them to keep up. Even worse when I am with friends they gave little support as passengers or infantry because they are inexperienced and don't play with tankers that much. Guys if you hate it so much try it but dont try and get on the forums and create even more ways to kill us I have earned running through people I could have put all my time into a suit and did the same but I hate being an infantry. So bring your forge guns and op flux grenades and we will duke it out on the battlefield brings your friends and you might kill me. |

if you expect tank support, then i have one suggestion...
WAIT FOR THEM!
if you are so worried about them keeping up, then move slower, let them stay near enough to be useful support.
and common sense here, you're in a friggin' tank! you're THE BIGGEST target on the field in every senseble way, and can wipe infantry out like its nothing, of course everyone and their mother is gonna aim at you |

stop nerfing tanks! the only ppl who complain about tanks being too strong are ppl that are not tankers or AV troopers. any AV tropper will tell you that a good swarm launcher kills tanks quickly for less cost than the tank itself |

i dont ride in tanks i ride with tanks,all you guys do are run laps around the map while i gun and watch the 6k(or more) shild or armor meter of yours and watch you kill EVERYTHING that glows orange.Of course there will be some to oppose you but they wont be anything worth a damn to kill you with there milita gear lets be honest here. |

I like the fact that whether I am in a HAV or a Rail Gun Turret I can change the direction of the battle. At least a full squad is usually trying to kill me personally. Which is great because that squad is doing Nothing Else. They are not Capturing, nor defending, nor healing as their entire focus is on killing Me and whatever I have managed to effect the Battle with.
While I appreciate his views, I do disagree somewhat with Eris and his OP. The SP required to get Good in Forge Guns, Swarm Launchers and high level AV grenades can be nearly as much as a HAV driver has invested. I know because my alt is working in that direction as well as Gunner which requires Turret Skills by the bucket. Not to mention high level Drop Suits. I am not even close to those as yet. I need them but there are too many other Skills that must be handled first. |

I've posted on this subject before and will again here.
Tanks are tanks and are supposed to be tough, no doubt. That is what they are.
Because of this they have the ability to single-handedly decide the outcome of a match. Any tanker that says otherwise is absolutely lying.
Because of this strength, obviously most of, if not the entire team opposing the tank is going to attempt to take it out. But look at what you just said here. The OP even admitted this. He has THE WHOLE Team on the other side ATTEMPTING to take him out. You've monopolized the entire battle field even if you don't kill anyone....and believe me, you are killing people. If you weren't you wouldn't be rolling a tank. If you look at a leaderboard at the end of any match (esp a lopsided victory one) you'll see that the guys that are 20+/0-2 in K/D ratio were rolling in tanks. It was either that or that person knows where the spawn points are and was camping them repeatedly. Long story short, if I manage to take out your 1 tank, you've probably already killed me 3-4 times in the process and most likely have killed 15 other people during that time as well.
To have that kind of power it absolutely should take you tons of SP and $ to obtain. There should be in game infantry options to take you out. But let me tell you something from experience. The Swarm Launchers can do only two things, target installations and vehicles. It is absolutely useless against infantry because you can't even target them. They only do armor damage (at least the start up versions anyway) so to kill the right kind of tank with one easily will take 6-7 shots. It only holds two shots per clip, takes a decade and a half to lock on and reload, and meanwhile the tank or his entourage has killed me if I am lucky enough to get off one shot. "Well, spec up then!" would be your reply. Well that's all fine an good, but just like you've been grinding away just to be able to get yourself in a decent tank, I've been grinding away just to get the ability to not be completely decked out in malitia gear for every item I am able to equip. As a sniper, I would tend to think I am actually investing in things to make me a better sniper, not a tank killer. And I would venture to guess 95% of new players are in the same boat.
Then there are the shield tanks, which require a different weapon to kill, and guess what? Unless you picked a Sentinel as your start up build, you don't have access to that gun. You again have to invest in the ability to actually equip one, and then invest even more just to have a chance to even be somewhat decent with it.
This same issue goes for the AV grenades, not to mention the fact that I actually have to get somewhat near the tank in order to hit one. Guess what? You also have the ability to move. So all you have to do to avoid my grenade is move in a certain direction away from the grenade. Seems pretty simple to me.
Lastly, if one tank isn't bad enough, I have had matches where the other team has three tanks on the field all at once in an Ambush. One tank is enough of a challenge to kill. Three makes it absolutely impossible. |

Tanks aren't OP
Got pushed back by a Proto Forge in less than 8 seconds, 6500 shields (With Surge Hardener on) gone in 3 shots.. I was lucky to get my reps on and reverse out the way I came, hell, he was taking out the infantry around my tank too xD |

So he "pushed you back" but you backed away and didn't get blown up. Then what happened? How did this story end? You probably rolled over him and killed him and 20+ of the clones on his side. What was your K/D ratio at the end of the match? I mean honestly.
See, this is the thing that these tank people never talk about. There is a reason why you are rolling in a tank. They absolutely own the field. There is a reason why on some skirmishes you hide them out of bounds (especially the defender side of Line Harvest Skirmish so that nobody can hit them and have 3-4 snipers sitting there next to you and probably are one yourself. Because if anybody does manage to find your tank sitting there with a swarm launcher, you know as infantry I can't hit you and you get an easy shot on a Heavy, slow moving target that can't hit you and if it comes any closer will time out and die in the out of bounds marker.
They don't tell you that they go 20+/0, 30+/0 and even seen them go 40+/0 on some maps. They don't tell you that they get together on Manus Peak Ambush and roll 3-4 tanks at the same time.
And yes, I've seen tanks die at the hands of stupid drivers. Driving it head first into a building in the middle of 3 other tanks isn't going to end well. No disrespect to a person who can drive one skillfully around a map and not run it into terrain that will make it get stuck or get damaged. What I don't like and I think is absolute garbage is trying to tell me that tanks are not powerful enough, and that infantry stand a ghost of a chance. I call BS on that and I am sure there are many out there that will agree with me. Tanks do not belong on Ambush maps, esp not more than one of them at a time on the same side. |

Tanks only own the field if you let them. If you've got 0-20k SP invested into AV, then don't expect to kill me all by yourself. A single advanced/prototype Forge Gun can kill a 2 million ISK shield tank in 3- 4 shots.
Seriously, you should try using a tank, it's a lot harder than you think. It takes a lot of SP, teamwork, tactics, and skill if you really want to be successful with it.
Btw, I've seen infantry guys that consistently go 18/0 or even 25/0 in pub matches, I guess that means they're OP too. |

Please, no real player says being a good HAV player doesn't take skill.
But BS is BS. Every other role/fitting has drawbacks and limits.
Tanks can destroy infantry, land vehicles, air ships, infrastructure, can snipe, can move faster than infantry,..., all with ONE clone. Basically, at this point, its stupid not to be using an HAV as your super drop suit.
Right now, and while past is no indication of future, CCP has not really delivered much. So it is what it is.
PS: For a good infantry to get same KDR as good HAV requires a lot more effort/skill.
note: Im full Assault AR, it was my fault thinking this game would be designed around the player, but as it stands this is a game of HAVs. I had my fun, but these are classic mistakes, there is nothing that shows any advancement in FPS genre than the ones from ten years ago. They literally are re-inventing wheel/relearning mistakes. Take that back, some of the previous games are way more polished.
Four tiny maps in Ambush, and after many thousands of matches you still get stuck, hives fall through floor,...

like iv said before on other posts, im not giving up my tank because someone doesn't like it, tank drivers hate av equipment all around, its what kills us, and assaulters like you hate everything because everything kills you. |

Nope, everything does not kill me. I might not be pro, but I am good. I have fun, even take out tanks, but they destroy my ability to get Warpoints in a house(HAV player) always wins manner.
The key is what do you do with one clone versus anyone else does with one clone. Why does everybody else have to change/adapt to deal with you. But an HAV player does not. That is the issue. You didn't say why your one clone can do everything/practically self sufficient.
You don't see the issue of telling other players to change and adapt to you, while you just use your one HAV?
Classic problem, not even unique to FPS genre...

there is absolutely 1 spot where a tank can't do **** and that is right above it... get good at driving a drop ship get some mates that you can communicate with and then fly over to the tank above it at any altitude and have your gunners melt the tank from above... note you will need the proto blasters to do it |

The reason why people have to adapt when someone uses an HAV is because #1 That's what it's supposed to do and #2 You can't have an all-purpose dropsuit that can deal with any situation that arises. if you want #2 then you could always play this wonderful game called Call Of Duty.
Tank drivers also have to adapt to the battlefield too. Unless i'm playing against a team full of noobs, i have to worry about Forge Gunners, Orbital strikes, AV/Flux grenadiers, and even other tanks. I have to be in constant communication with my squad otherwise i'd be at a higher risk of getting blown up. Remember, it only takes about 2 - 4 shots from a decent forge gunner to take destroy a very well-built shield tank.
Believe me, using a tank is harder and a lot riskier than most people think. If you're making a profit from tanking in pub matches, you've got to be incredibly good. |

And yes, I've seen tanks die at the hands of stupid drivers. Driving it head first into a building in the middle of 3 other tanks isn't going to end well. No disrespect to a person who can drive one skillfully around a map and not run it into terrain that will make it get stuck or get damaged. What I don't like and I think is absolute garbage is trying to tell me that tanks are not powerful enough, and that infantry stand a ghost of a chance. I call BS on that and I am sure there are many out there that will agree with me. Tanks do not belong on Ambush maps, esp not more than one of them at a time on the same side.
Sorry bud, I've been busy.
He pushed me back and kept me pinned, I scored a couple of kills from randoms rushing at me to try and get the kill but I stayed behind a hill unable to move and he didn't step out of cover. It must've been 8/0 that game.
The reason? Yes we can stomp idiots with great ease and I find that enjoyable. Because I enjoy running in squads of Infantry, taking a tank out so that the reddots focus on me and my squad can mop up. What would you have us do instead of hiding? Willingly allow you to blow up a 1mil tank because "You tried hard" to kill me? You didn't try hard enough.
Yes we go that high simply because players don't want to do the work to fight us, everyone expects to kill us with their militia **** but the fact is, it's not going to happen. Like I said before, I was smashed by a Proto Forge, if there was two of those there would've been no chance for me but instead one guy was left to fight me off whilst the others tried to kill me with Militia Gear or ran past me to kill the Infantry nearby.
I never stated Tanks weren't powerful enough, I stated they weren't OP, as in Overpowered. Tanks are pretty well balanced against infantry aside from Grenades and certain proto things (By the way, Tanks don't seem to have any protogear, since I don't need to get level 5 in most things to get the top modules.. would like some proto stuff pls)
When you are fighting in a Tank, you have to think about various things, such as your positioning, emergency exit, routes where infantry can hit you, where your infantry is, what vehicles are on the field and checking maps to see if there are any other tanks on the field. Whilst on the move you have to beware of Terrain and watch high ground positions otherwise you're dead, it's not the easiest thing to do but if you're good at it it pays off.
I think Tanks not allowed in Ambush is a ridiculous idea, it's a double edged blade when you're bringing a tank out onto an Ambush map as you have less space to retreat too and if anyone who actually spec'd into AV is on the field, you're likely to die. I lose more tanks in an Ambush match than I ever will Skirmish. |

Did you just say tanks take strategy. BS. I saw 2 tanks sitting in middle the road in Ashland for the entire match. Everyone on our team was running AV, but they would not die, no matter how many forge guns, swarms and AV grenades we had. They dodged them, tanked them, or took us out before we could fire a shot. I even got consistently spawn killed a few times. In the end, they won around 50 to 0. So don't tell me that tanks take "skill" or that they're not OP. |

And not all of us have the SP and ISK to get proto forge guns just to kill a noob in a gungoli. You argument makes no sense. So you "almost" got destroyed by a heavy with proto gear. Well of course you did. But not everyone has proto gear. Not once have I every seen a tank destroyed. Not once. |

Slypie, you've been playing some bad games man, I've seen many tanks taken out. I "almost" got destroyed and pinned, I was smart enough to use the terrain to my advantage and keep myself alive, but I didn't go back to the fight due to being afraid of losing my tank. Can you tell me more about the tanks your encountered? Me and my buddy did the same thing the other day on Line Harvest, cept we had Shield Transporters running so we were heavily outhealing anything that was thrown at us.
They're not OP, it seems you're just come across very good tanks or you're an awful AVer. Tell me what AV you were running, and don't tell me "Well I used AV grenades" because that **** won't work. Unless you're using packed you're doing laughable damage, and if you're up against shield tanks you're doing less. (Don't get me wrong, they do great against armor, but you need flux for shields).
I've killed tanks with Militia Swarms, AV Grenades and Militia Forge Guns, but that **** won't work when Tankers get their better gear, you don't have the SP to get a better forge gun? That's your fault, find a squad member who has done the work, you're saying Tanks are OP because you simply won't change your playstyle, what do you want CCP to do? Buff AR damage so you can shoot at a tank and kill it?
Don't post about OP tanks until you have atleast Advanced AV, which is pretty much the level of gear all tankers are at.

My corpmate, I have to disagree with you 100%. Have you ever tried surviving in a tank let alone getting basic skills to build a "decent" starter tank with around 7000 ehp? This is my alt character and I am skilling into tanks specifficly for the same reasons you are complaining about. I got tired of "good" tanks and "good" tank pilots stomping the hell out of me. I can tell you it isn't easy. I have worked my ass off to get to a decent starter gunlogi. I don't consider militia tanks starters as the soma is junk. The sica however with a little thought can be halfway decent. But anyway, trying to be effective on the battle field and helping your team while staying alive is an arduous job. These guys that have really good tanks have worked thier asses of for them and have lost MANY tanks getting there. Just as a lot of us work to get our infantry suits the best they can be, "I'll have my proto gear on my main character this week", getting a tank to be a good fit takes time and work. I'm sure you won't be complaining when charlotte, lillica skysweeper or myself come rolling in on your team with our tanks, think about that side of the coin. I am working on an "anti tank" tank for the future. By no means are good tanks indestructible, a couple guys with a decent av loadout can be pain in the ass for a tank without infantry support, which seems to be the case most of the time. Just some stuff for you to think about slypie.. |
