You are an idiot

We are thousands of years ahead in the future with materials and devices which have only ever been dreamed about

Who are you to say that we havnt got a tank which is a mobile death star with tracks which can wipe out the entire team

The TANK: "a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities"; "an enclosed heavily armed and armored combat vehicle that moves on tracks"

Lieutenant Taka of the Allied Corporation Red*Star of EoN, please don't talk to higher ups in such a manner.

I am not an idiot, actually, I am a historian by profession and I expressed this quite simply because this is the origin of the tank. It is the only primary usage of the tank in warfare a game designer (CCP) has to work with in terms of developing their software.

"We are thousands of years in the future".......We are actually playing a game that was designed in the 21st century, a game whose designers are limited to the experiences of the 20th and 21st century for their designing utility of 'the tank'. To pretend that understandings and complexities beyond our own can exist in something that we ourselves created in the present is nothing short of ignorance.

Who am I to say that you haven't got a tank that's a mobile death star? Well I'm the guy that's here telling you that never happened before. And if you don't learn from history, you're bound to repeat it.

Besides, when you break it all down...the game is not very different from WW2 combat. Infantry are the SHOCK troops...the primary roles of the battlefield. Their ability to put down a tank should be higher, if not equally matched, by their ability to be killed by one. Infantry have always been more mobile than tanks, and their ability to flank a tank, surround it, and destroy it should be no different "a thousand years from now" as it is today.

And this is all said by someone who prefers to roll with a tank....and will roll with a tank after the update. Difference between me and the QQers is I can rationalize the change. ADAPT OR DIE.

Get over it Taka. Then go talk to Nano.

Because Anti-Tank weapons always keep pace and are never more than one generation behind.

So, before you call the OP an idiot for pointing out the truth...

HTFU.

You can kiss my ass

I do not report to anyone and if you dont like my opinion then go cry about it to nano or whoever

The game is designed in this century but the lore and everything else is thousands of years ahead so things could have changed

In fact why cant my tank fly instead and shoot lasers at anything that moves or throw monkeys at ppl instead

Its called imagination and doesnt have to stick to the rules of the real world since its a game

******* idiot

The lesson here is simple: Tanks are not blitzkrieg devices or tools. They are infantry-support, and anti-vehicle. Using them without consideration for these roles...and just trying to one-man it around the battlefield....SHOULD BE...and will be....the easiest way to waste away a Tank.

Insubordination within EoN....fascinating.

"things could have changed" ---> You used the key word "could", well guess what: They didn't. Get over it.

Throw monkeys? I see you're just a troubled youngster who's butthurt over losing his ability to troll around Ambush matches. That truly is...'imagination.'

You aren't on the game's development team so your imagination is worth about as much as a toilet with no seat.

They don't say 'the truth hurts' for no reason. They also say...'You can't handle the truth.' I guess you're just a great example of that Taka.

We can also use tanks to kill people miles away we can also do that with an apache

Apache is closer to a dropship, don't you think? Or perhaps if they made an "attack-dedicated" dropship with no transport and heavier weapons.

You're just mad that the game is reflecting a more accurate portrayal of the tank, Taka. It's breaking down your ability to exploit one aspect of it.

You will get over it. You'll have to....or you'll quit the game. That simple. I hear you can still dominate the battlefield like a joke in Battlefield Vietnam with the Soviet attack chopper. Why don't you go play that?

Acurate portrayal

Okay then if 1 AV person can solo a tank then why dont we just have 1 HS = death and several bullets in the chest = death

Make it super realistic like life with no respawn

But if we did that it would more or less be COD in space and shields/armor and everything in the game would be absolete and pointless

Then again would that be fun making it into a twitch shooter? well it doesnt matter because war isnt fun but it should be accurate like life and reflect war

Wrong game ther G this is DUST and not cod

Two troops in WW2 with a small rocket could take out a Panzer IV with 1-2 hits. No different from an "AV nade"

A Challenger tank in Iraq took over 14 RPGs and was fine except for the tracks

Calm down, kicking and screaming isn't going to get you anywhere on this forum. Plus, you make yourself look crude when you use insults in an attempt to prove your point. Lax

I don't know about the panzer, but I've heard a lot about german tanks where american tank shells and bazookas would just bounce off.

Okay let me throw my two ISK into the argument here, and btw I'm non military historian and haven't served in the armed forces so my knowledge of the military is mostly confined to having read a couple of books about military stuff. But from what I've read it seems like warfare is built on principles, and though the method and technology used may change those principles don't.

And what grezkev here is trying to say(well this is what I got from his post) is that though the tech maybe be thousands of years more advanced than what we have currently, the same things that applied in WW2 apply now .

And taka, the more I read of your posts the more I feel like face palming.
