pretty sure plasma launcher is actually hybrid like the rail's and forge's and while fluxes are dangerous to caldari tanks they arent as common on the battlefield cant home in on tanks and cant actually destroy anything other than the shields itsself

while caldari DPS is lower(when using the caldari turrets) they have much greater range and allow caldari to engage at much further distances keeping them out of harms way which if used to your advantage allows u guys to outdo gallente blaster tanks by crippling them before they can get into range to counter

i think CCP needs to push players more towards the role the vehicles were designed for by increasing the CPU and decreasing the PG of caldari vehicles and adjusting the modules that best suit them accordingly so that u see less caldari blaster tanks and gallente rail/missile tanks as well as buffing caldari vehicle shield regen to help balance the difference between their reppers

the plasma launcher does more to shields then it does to armor unlike rails and forges. last time I checked the range is the same, armor tanks can put on the same turrets as shields so that's complete BS. btw dude even with high CPU modules and turrets there I still have over 100 CPU left over so leave you bad balancing ideas behind because you have terrible ideas that have no reason behind them. check your fact there bro.

i know last build i was able to go over the gunlogi's max CPU using no proto turrets with lv3 circuitry

Y'all clearly don't understand the complexities of space physics.

Caldari combat doctrine: "We will kill you from the other side of the solar system, we don't need speed"
Gallente combat doctrine: "I Will Melt Ya Face With Ma BLAZTERS BWHAHAAHA"

IMO caldari/gallente havs needs skill bonuses to work correctly.
Something like:
Caldari Hav skill bonus: 5% range to large turrets
Gallente Hav skill bonus: 2% to blaster damage or 5% to armor repair rep amount

Something to give racial flavour to the tanks.

EDIT: I really love the "facemelting" approach, unfurtunately it gets you killed a lot. Stopped playing eve because was tired of risk-averse kiters. DEATH OR GLORY, like a true man.

better modules need to come first, you can't balance for what isn't there.

then they should make the madrugars only capable of fitting blaster and the caldari only capable of fitting av weapons make the large slot weapon specific instead instead of trying to get us to conform to random barriers by stealth nerfing the things that make variety possible

gallente armor is made of carbonfiber and therefore faster than the caldari

hmm sounds like the crap i expect to be spewed by ccp no suprise its coming from chronos's mouth

no tanker who has used both in uprisng can say caldari has a single advantage that makes them worth specking into and be telling the truth. if you think theres even one speak up.

Ninja'd before I could post.

Hey hey hey, don't generalize CRONOS xD

I have both now and I think CCP should stop "racial traits" BS and give gunloggi its speed back. I'm an armor tanker but tried gunloggi with missiles in this build.

Caldari HAV's are supposed to snipe. That's why they don't have speed.

Peace, Godin

Finally someone that gets it

Shield tanks: Low PG, high CPU.

Armor tank: High PG, low CPU.

Railguns,missiles: Low PG use, high CPU use. ( Shield tank )

Blasters: High PG use, low CPU use. ( Armor tank )

If you put blasters on you shield tank, well thats your problem to solve not CCP's

Armor tankers also get CPU problems if they fit Railguns/missiles.

just use as it was ment to be used and stop crying over PG.

Shield tanks are ment to be artilliry tanks.

All i can say is that i DONT have any PG problems at all on my shield tanks.

your a ******* dumb ass did you even read the thread before commenting on it here lemme clue you in ***** using the proper turrent for caldari makes no ******* difference read the thread before you decide to open your ******* trap.

ccp why have you made armor faster than shield you took away the only advantage caldari tanks had. and tanks no longer make sense it makes 0 sense that armor moves faster than shield the only advatage gone. maddy now trump gunlogi's in every way they are faster have more hp the wep that is effective vs them was nerfer swarm,and they can go under hardeners for a full minute while we get 10 secs

This is the type of player you were aiming for by putting DUST 514 on the PS3, right, CCP?

Well, okay. Your call.


Maybe, Mortedeamor, you should read up a little on current tactics and traits by the races in EVE before you start trying to change EVE lore. Because unfortunately for you, DUST takes place in EVE's universe, with EVE's factions. And that's not changing. Caldari equipment isn't going to suddenly become faster than Gallente. Gallente focus on active armor repping to keep our speed up while using high powered plasma based close range weapons.

Caldari use slower ships that attack from obnoxiously long ranges with a self-regenerating shield tank (the best shields by lore) and move slowly. Because they need to move fast when they're killing you from allllllllll the way over there.
