I can just see it now.

*hops in tank*
"Hell yes, let's kick this pig!"
*slams all throttle controls forward dramatically*
Tank: "putterputterputter"

"Alright, MAXIMUM SPEED!"

"Dafuq!? How did that old man with the walker pass me?"

Lol if thats even remotely true then its a bigger nurf than the pg and hp put together

The only reason a tank can survive my FG is being able to get away fast enough lol (or killing me obviously, but good luck ;) )

Still sounds a whole lot better then seeing a tank in the far off sunset, turning around and having it pretty much ninja right up to you in a few seconds.

a few seconds? must've been an old cadari(back when the shield tank was faster than the armor one.) with a proto afterburner.

Looking for confirmation on this.

If CCP did in fact Ninja nerf the Tank speeds I will not be respecing into them.

Great...I'm done with tanks when I respec. They cannot survive in this world.

first day in a tank today, didn't I pick a good day to waste sp, I used to fear the tanks, no one feared me
was not as fun as a tank should be,

Freakin' LAVs control horribly now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I gotta say I did enjoying flipping over and all the other random **** it did. It did get me killed many times but damn it was entertaining.

So it would appear that with the gravity fix it has SEVERELY slowed down tanks. Was running around in my rail Gunnlogi and it felt like I would have had better luck getting out and pushing. So is there any plans of fixing the tank acceleration or am I just going to have to put overdrives on it just so I can drive from one side of the map to the other before the match ends.

you will soon earn how much faster gallente tanks are now over caldari ..and that will make you feel even worse as apparently this si how it is supposed to be so welcome to the new dust where 6 tons of armor is faster than a featherwieght shield

I know right?

They seem slower and heavier now.

makes no ******* sense i know

It did seem kind of silly to see tanks that could drive around like they were LAVs. maybe that was just in chromosome. I forget.

In EVE Caldari don't need speed as their missiles and railguns can at times reach past their own max locking range. However in an FPS, speed is survivability and allows for more damage to be dealt. If Caldari fails with speed, at least double the splash damage and radius of our missiles

Yeah they were fast but now the Caldari HAV are even MORE slower then the Armor HAV. Makes no ******* sense and now with the acceleration nerf it's harder to get out of situations.

Yea. That sucks. I guess my scout will really blaze around tanks. I also like buzzing tank towers in my BPO LAV, so I guess it's time to call Goose. We gots some towers to buzz!!

See, in Eve Caldari are faster then Gallente in pretty much ALL aspects. If they armor tank, they are massively slower. But they do more damage. Now blasters easily out damage missiles, as expected, and missiles unlike Eve do not always hit. In fact if you drive a missile tank you get laughed at because half your dps explodes harmlessly to the side.

The Speedy Madrugar **** is annoying. 6k + armor, reps and hardeners, and you go fast as ****. It makes them quite tough to kill without ace positioning.

Shield tanks got a big speed nerf. Just convert it to m/s and you'll see, if you can remember the old speed

Here's what to do, get an armor tank, slap on every slot a twincharger, and on your high slot put a kinetic speed whatever boost.

I was having so much fun with this I might actually spec into it.

It was pretty damn fast though, thats all i remember.
