Okay, I started tanking around February, or right after chromosome was released, and it was HARD, then. Maybe 20 tankers could make a living purely off of tanks at that point. Now, it's even harder. At least half of them have stopped tanking now because it is THAT hard. These were guys who could survive an entire squad of dedicated AV and still get a few kills. That is completely impossible, now. If you even show your face, you will die. I can't even name ten REALLY good tankers that are left. I'm barely breaking even at this point and that's ridiculous.
Jenza, I won't troll you or tell you that you suck because I wasn't there, but tanking is very different now. If vehicles ever get fixed, the tankers who come out of it will be the survivors of a mass extinction- the best of the best.
I urge you to spec fully into shield tanks to see how useless they are in tank v tank combat. And armor tanks are pretty useless in infantry combat because of the number of AV nades there are (a squad of 6 is capable of 27,000 damage over 3 seconds if they all have the hacked adv av nades).
If you can survive 7 battles in a row without losing a tank (using a blaster or missile tank), then go ahead and say tanks are fine. But if you can't then tanks are obviously terrible because one could have vehicle skills completely maxed out and still be extremely weak. It's a pointless career, now.
We've lost everything. I made this post earlier:
I would also like to remind the Council that we have lost our 3% damage bonus, 25% of our potential PG, and the 10% resistance "buff" skill doesn't matter if AV got the same buff to their damage without investing skill points. Also want to point out that everybody has thousands of hacked ADV Av grenades which deal 1500 dmg without any skill or investment of any kind into AV and only cost 2000 ISK, as well as proto forges which 2-shot any vehicle in the game, and swarm laucnhers which still make >90 degree turns. Then combine all of that with railguns and missile turrets which don't always fire wen you press R1, tanks which cost 1.2 million isk, dropships that rarely last a whole match even in skilled hands, suicide free LAVs, shield hardeners with a 10 second pulse, mlt swarms which make madrugars run for their lives, a squad capable of doing 27,000 DPS in 3 seconds (AV nades carried by every team member), and last but not least, tanks that move too slowly to get away (thanks to the speed nerf of the HAVs). |

Would anyone like to set up a CB with Jenza? It will be Jenza's tank and 5 infantry of her choice against a squad of 6 with 1 swarm and 1 forge. If jenza manages to get more than 20 kills with a BLASTER or MISSILE LAUNCHER while not dying once, tanks are fine. If she dies, gets less than 20 kills, uses a railgun, recalls her tank, or hides for more than 3 minutes total throughout the match, tanks are broken and she has to bring it up. Anyone want to place bets? |

I feel like tanks are becoming a sitcom.
Caeili is like the smart guy. The one who does the math and can give you numbers on what is actually going on. Slap too, but kind of has that grumpy old man vibe to him. Then you've got me and Mort who are probably to most vocal, but rarely use numbers to explain ourselves and get told to HTFU on a regular vasis by AR scrubs. Finally, we've got Jason Pearson who is about is vocal as me or mort, but more on the psotive side. And of course General Grodd who is the only one of us left that believes tanks will make a come back. Then zombie supreme will chime in every now and again with a complaint here or there, but still, pales in comparison with me or mort as far as unrefined forum whining goes. Lol. I'm a whiner. I admit it. But I have good reason to whine. :P NERF DROPSUIT PG, DAMAGE, AND CPU and double module/weapon CPU/PG costs. Then everything will be even. Hahaha. Im just a bitter tanker :/
We need to make a youtube channel called: "Salty 'Ol Tankers" |

Well that goes without saying, doesn't it? I mean, for those of you who know me, and if you spend at least 30 minutes on the forums a day I'm sure you do, can anyone name a day I haven't posted about tanks? I can't. Same goes for Mort...well, sorta, what she lacks in quantity she makes up for in quality. Mine are usually a few sentances and hers are long. But still. I like to think of myself as the suppressing fire of the tank community with her as the sniper. Then Caeli is like the guys in the lab and general grodd is a puppy and over to our left is an antique Ming Vase. I like girls. |
