Here's my issue:
While offensively, we are where we should be and I think all tankers will agree on that (thanks, ccp blam!), 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. Enough to fit a shield tank with 10,000 shields and a heavy shield booster while equipping zero PG expansions. |

With blasters no
With missiles, only on the occasional direct hit. Splash isnt even enough to kill a scout right now.
With rail guns, yes on a direct hit. Splash is too small for it to matter. |

With missals and railguns I think it should one hit.. Or at least for railguns. A direct hit on a large rail, yeah that should mess a lot of things up, but the damage output on the rest of the stuff is pretty insta-killish right now (150 per shot on a blaster before skills/damage mods with chance for headshot bonus gets pretty damn high vs infantry, it's over 1000 dps with no bonuses by the way). Missiles are in a weird spot, but they still have ridiculously high direct damage dps.
The large blaster is like a 20mm cannon in real life. It's damage is appropriate to its price.
Large missiles rarely get direct hits and work as a suppression weapon vs infantry but kill armored vehicles well at close range. Damage is fair.
Large rails are perfect in skilled hands (slap26), but most gunners can barely hit tanks at range. |

Most of the smart blaster and missiles tankers don't run solo anymore but we still get 3-shotted by grenades, forges, etc. We simply can't take hits. 5000-6000 is the max HP of most tanks right now.
We need to be able to fit as many proto modules as infantry can. |

This is just the kind of thread I hate.
Thank god we have our experienced tank drivers to tell those newberry tank drivers how things work in New Eden.

^never tanked in his life. 100% of tankers want more PG. We deserve to be able to fit proto modules on our tanks just like infantry can. |
