As a dedicated tank driver i allways have to face OB's and usually they inflict very high damage. But since 1 1/2 week when a OB hits my tank it barely does damage (around ~2000 HP max). And its not like if i wherent in the middile of it. Usually its enough to drive like 5 meters away from the centre to minimise the inflicted damage. If this is true i would like to thank CCP to get rid of insta killing good tanks with a OB and without any kind of AV. I would like to hear the opinion from other tankers if they experienced the same. |

If an orbital can take out a turret installation but only does 2-3k damage on a tank then something is definitely going on.
In the last week I have killed a number of tanks (probably militia or poorly fit tier 1) and installations with orbitals, but I've also had a direct hit on what I know would be a well fit tank (Beld Ermon) and had it survive.
Not that I'm complaining about it. Just my observations. |

Tankers always cry about anything that makes their game just a teensy bit harder. If an AC-130 can take out a tank, I think a bombardment from an enormous ship in outer space should be able to nuke a tank. |

Yes but unfortunately if we do go by logic then it would be like a nuke, and the entire battlefield would be glassed over after the first strike... |

It's called a tactical strike for a reason |

It was my impression that there a multple types of orbitals (and I dont mean the 2500 WP OB) that function differently.
Tactical strikes for infantry, tanks, and other specific scenarios can be implented with varying degrees of range, damage, and killing power. |

OB still cause stupid amounts of damage
I always get them on my tanks mainly because the enemy are too stupid when using AV or just dont try and grind for an OB because its the 'I destroy a tank with a push of button' which makes them think they are skilled
That and ther is no warning whatsoever so its an instant strike meaning it will hit you, just chance if you happen to survive
I dont think they have changed |

I took a direct hit from an orbital today in my rail tank, stayed in it a lot longer than i'd like because i turned on my hardener before continuing to reverse up hill, my rep was cycling, got dropped from 6700 armor to about 400 burnt down to 200 by the time I got my rep on.
I usually only get killed by orbitals if my hardeners are in cooldown. |

It took 2 orbitals, one after the other to kill one of my Soma's in a pub match.
Like Beld, orbitals ony ever get me if all of my stuff is on a long CD. |
