edit: dont be mistaken.... in regular pub matches i have too much fun on alts trying out new weps, but in the end, PC matches are where **** gets real. If you play them, you wouldnt be saying your the only one left.
I miss the tank battles of old, Lurch. It was like a Mexican Standoff with rails or a prize boxing fight with blasters. Now we never get the chance BC everyone has AV nades that require zero SP. |

A) I get to Solo and send me Fanmail
B) Are at the other side of the map, too afraid to head into the fray unless theres at least 3 of them
By being supported they think, its Extra stacks of tanks instead of support infantry.
Or most of them either ran out of ISK or couldnt take getting killed, it ruins there 20+ KDR you know!
Let me put this another way, say you're a sniper, and you are only spawned on 100x100m maps...well, every 20 matches u might get lucky and get a good sized one, but most of the time, you are stuck in CQB and can't change your fitting. Also take into account that your fitting costs 1.6 mil. Does it make sense yet? You don't see good tanks anymore bc theyre too expensive to use now. If they stay the way they are, they need a huge cost reduction OR they can be buffed so that it's actually possible to survive a whole battle against good AV without red-line sniping.
If you think you're hard for killing tanks in Uprising, think again. It wasn't particularly hard in Chromosome if you had good tactics, and even then there were only a select 25 tankers who would be hard to kill. Now, killing a tank is about the same as killing a heavy. Don't say "tanks have thousands of HP", because EVERYBODY has adv av grenades and they do THOUSANDS of damage. A squad of six with them equipped is capeable of doing 27,000 dmg in 3 seconds to a tank. That is impossible to defend against, without not getting up close in the first place- hence the rail snipers.
Oh, and the highest KDRs belong to assault players, NOT tankers. Do your homework. |
