I don't think they're over buffed as an AV guy myself the challenge of killing one is just right it seems, very hard to solo, team work warranted or a lot of surprise and idiocy at the pilot's fault. Tanks are the preferred solo counter to other tank usually and tank on tank combat is pretty decent. |

While offensively, we are where we should be and I think all tankers will agree on that, we are still too weak. 2 proto breaches kill us- even tanks can't do that to eachother.
If infantry can fit all of the highest grade modules on their dropsuit, then we should be able to as well. I deserve to be able to fit 3 damage mods with 5 heavy azeotropic shield extenders because those caldari logis can do the same thing. Reduce the PG/CPU cost of ALL vehicle modules and turrets so that we can fit the same amount of proto modules/weapons as our infantry counterparts. It's only fair. When it takes 5 proto AV nades to kill an armor tank, that'd be about square, considering the cost difference between the AV nades and the tank itself.
Or, you could give us back our passive PG skills, except instead of a 5% increase/lvl, give is a 10% increase per level. We'd still be less powerful, comparatively speaking, to the infantry, but it'd be a lot better for us. One forge gun can pin down an entire squad of tanks and that's ridiculous.
Give us PG, CCP! We need A LOT more. Blam, you listening?
Lost my tank to two volleys from the missile tank. Didn't have time to react. Magically nobody on my squad managed to spot the damn thing comming up behind me. |

BTW I agree that the powergrid modules being a 'must have' to even get all slot full is a bunch malarkey. |

Because area denial is all well and good but not very profitable . And teaming up to kill tanks yet only the guy who manages to get the kill shot gets rewarded even if others did more damage hardly seems fair. "Don't you just enjoy the satisfaction of helpin your team destroy a tank ? " Yeah but a guy's gotta eat .
The whole WP system needs to be redone in my honest opinion to reward action, instead of inaction.
As for the missile tank thing, the tank that blew me up was about 15 meters from me and pointing at my radiator, I deserved to get blown up then for letting a tank sneak up on me.
As for today doing pretty horrible, lost 4 tanks, mostly to my idiotic mistakes such as going inside the outpost where there is plenty of infantry cover and people still have hacked AV nades in stock. I was also mostly testing the plasma cannon today the entire weapon is entirely underwhelming for anti-vehicle role, the shot is so slow I had tanks react and dodge them and for such a short range weapon this is very bad. On a plasma cannon fit the AV grenades provides the most damage still.
Also I saw a madruger mopping the map today nobody could get near him and I didnt have a fit to deal with him at the time. He had slight difficulty hitting infantry but for vehicles and structures he blew them all to bits pretty quickly. |
