Eurydice Itzhak Militaires Sans Jeux 1	Posted - 2013.03.26 04:08:00 - [1] - Quote I've been skilling up CPU/PG/Turret skills so far but it's finally time to make a decision. Ive raised vehicle command to 5 and the time has come. I love both my militia fits. I have a railgun shield tank for mountain sniping and I have an armor battle tank with a blaster. They are both TONS of fun and I don't know which I should skill in to. Help me make a decision.

Heathen Bastard Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 78	Posted - 2013.03.26 04:11:00 - [3] - Quote I'm no tanker, but I've heard that AV vs armor may have just been buffed, or the armor mechanic itself nerfed. so shield seems to be the safe option right now Take it with a grain of dust, as again, I'm no tanker

XeroTheBigBoss Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz 62	Posted - 2013.03.26 04:19:00 - [6] - Quote I still can't believe tanks can snipe.... I think they need to nerf the range big time I have never heard of war being fought with a tank up on mountains playing like a sniper... sounds pretty ******** to me. If you wanna snipe than snipe.

If you wanna snipe than snipe. tanks are designed as mobile artillery. As in, giant gun that shoots really far.
Ignoble Son 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 103	Posted - 2013.03.26 04:33:00 - [10] - Quote Go shield/rail. Use compressed rails, damage mods, Active heat sinks, passive/active resisters, extenders and boosters and never look back. But remember, skilling into hybrids alows you to use both rails and blaster. I like blaster on my shield tank. They're fun.

No, but have you seen effective ranges on modern battle tanks? They shoot out to something like 5 miles. I think that's a bit further than the sniping record for longest distance.

I believe the current record was 2.5 kilometers (which translates to 1.5 miles), shot by a canadian. but the last time I heard something like that was years ago, and it was only counting a kill at extreme range, not any performance on ranges and such.

Currently tank ranges are under discussion here.

Currently tank ranges are under discussion here. my bad, should have said so. but yeah, tanks fire heavier rounds, longer distances, and can run over someone if you get really bored.

No worries just thought I'd clear that up.

The best at the moment Against infantry perhapse but in tank on tank battle you're going to get owned my an armor with a blaster. Armor have more EHP it's as simple as that.

Cept they have been nerfed. 1 Swarm will do the trick. So get advanced d swarms, when u see the armor tank coming hop out of ur shield tank and launch the swarms. Problem solved.

Nemo Bluntz Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 31	Posted - 2013.03.26 05:52:00 - [21] - Quote I rock shield with my tanker. I tried both armor and shield on the militia end and found that the speed that grants the ability to get the **** out of Dodge when needed was much better than the extra health of the armor tank. It really comes down to play style.

I think what he ment by speed was actually acceleration, from zero to top speed, not strait across top speed. {edit>>> I don't understand what a keyboard has to do with anything though.

A nitrous on an armor tank will make it accelerate like a gunnlogi if not faster. With a keyboard u never have to slow down, with a joystick when u turn it actually slows ur tank because the stick isn't all the way forward. On kb u are always pushing the forward button while holding the turn key, so you never slow and always stay at top possible speed.

Or do you use something else? Thanx for the info about the kbm
