I have been skilling into tanking for a while now and i have come to the conclusion that there is only one tank fit. A blaster turret.
I have tried and tried again to fight these blaster tanks and yet to no avail, except for the rather week starters that are obviously just getting started.
I know what your gonna say, dont let them get in range, but i have found that this is almost impossible, especially when the skilled tank pilots are concerned. I know i am not the most skilled tank pilot, but i can drive a gunnlogi and i can almost use advanced missile, railgun, and blaster.
I just want to know if others have countered well fit blaster tanks using railguns or missile tanks. I am really getting demotivated with trying to fight all these blaster tanks. I thought that blaster tanks were suppose to be an anti infantry turret, so why is it so stupidly effective against other tanks? or am i wrong in saying that?
sorry for the noob questions, im just getting very frustrated. |

Well in general Blasters are for Infantry and Vehicles.
A rail-gun is if you just want to destroy another tank, or camp on top of a hill. |

Also missiles used to be awesome tank vs tank, believe it or not blasters we're the worst tank gun of all
Thanks for the nerfs guys!!!
In the next build I'm sure they'll work again, for right now blasters are what you want. |

yes i thought that rails were meant to be anti tank, but i have found that most blasters are more effective, so why bother having rails at all? if the blaster is a do it all turret? its kinda stale  |

i really dont like blaster turrets, they can do everything, and i hate that. I also hate gaylentay tech. I really just dont like the fact that there are 3 turret types but only 1 is worth having. |

- Blasters today.
- Accidental nerf tomorrow.
- Newly released Energy Turrets the new flavor the day after.
The cycle of life goes on. Everything will eventually be figured and balanced out. That's a part of play-testing. |

Rails are for long range redline campers,
As said above, they used to be the most used tank gun in game next to missiles.
They turned fast as current blasters, way more splash....they were nice. |

I don't think its a balancing thing.
I think its a super secret CCP dev test.
Make everything else broke so we have to test what works instead of not using it,
Then add everything back in correctly after testing is complete. |

true dat. Im just saying what i find lacking in this current build. Would be nice if blaster tanks were really good against infantry but less effective against vehicles. In the mean time i just want to know if there is anything i can do with the other turrets before im forced to conform to the one fit. |

Yes only blasters and I was upset, cuz my large rep flipped off, which turns out could because of flux grenades believe it or not. But in closed beta before the nerfs I used missile turrets as they were supreme |

wat? confused by your P.S. i dont use blasters, i use rails and missles. Im just wondering why blasters are more effective at killing tanks than rails. probably just my skills but ive lost some tank engagements when i felt i should have won.
Not butt hurt just confused, thanks for.....oh wait your not helpful. |

SMH
a newberry co*kdari loyalist QQs about blasters , if , you would have the time to go on the evelopedia and read some pages about weapons and all (which would take no more than 5 mins) you wouldn't QQ about blasters.
On a side note:Don't post twice , edit your post instead. |

A proto railgun can 2 or 3 shot another tank, but in close quarters it doesn't turn well and a good blaster tank will try to get behind you, I don't like the fact your ready to throw blasters under the OP bus because for all I know you shield tank madrugers and don't skill into a weapon beyond level 3.
You should do a search on railguns there was a 9 page thread on how ridiculously OP they are at taking out other tanks. |

Get 1 or 2 people in a LAV with you and roll up on his ass when he isn't looking and pop out lobbing AV at him.
Thats how my bro and I took out his tank 2 games in a row, and 2 of Allmighty Status' tanks in the same game within 2 minutes of each other.
If you can't get people to help you then jump on his tank and kill him when he jumps out to get you. If he doesn't jump out then just pop him while you are standing on him. Don't know who I did that to yesterday but I'm sure they were raging. |

Pvt Numb- If you're already using rails, then you're speccing into Large Hybrid Turrets, so you might as well try blasters out, it's a two-fer skill.
Make two different fits for your Gunlogi, one close quarters with a blaster, and one Rail loadout. You pick and choose your playstyle according to your tank's capabilities.
Call a rail tank in first thing, and take out installations, with an eye out on the horizon for incoming RDV's (is there a tank underneath?)
Work with teammates who might spot a tank being called in and get a bead on him before he gets a chance to get in range or even activate any of his hardeners.
With a blaster tank, you get in and out of cover, hoping that if you run into another tank you are close, and are able to activate mods quickly.
While you're in your rail tank and safely behind cover, pull up your map and look for any other blaster tanks, get yourself into a position where you are safely at range and pop em when blueberries are putting pressure on him and he's trying to make a retreat...... |

I would have nerfed ROF, and maybe damage just a little. Range was crazy but it has travel time, so unless you're attacking installations or really good at leading, the range wasn't much of a problem. The biggest problem I've had with them lately is their accuracy. If they're not going to go in vaguely the direction you're aiming, what's the point in firing them at all? Then again, I haven't tried them for a few weeks.

Situational. Maybe they just work better on the ground than in space, or against smaller targets than against larger ones. We have no way of knowing in real life. |
