The reason why tanks are so quick to destroy Supply Depots are due to AV infantry, something tells me I would still destroy Depots even if I had to track ammo, as I'd only leave the default blue one at base intact.

Tanks are fine with unlimited ammo.

Maybe when they give adv and pro tanks then ya sure.

Recall tank then call in another ammo worrys solved.

However being able to change the ammo would be nice like emp missles or something.

In DUST there is no such thing as "the tank is too strong for AV." If two-four people with REAL AV attack that tank, it will be forced to back off and recuperate or else be flat-out destroyed, especially when forgeguns are involved. Hell, with an ADV or PROTO forge you can do it with just one.

And again, I'll stop destroying enemy Supply Depots when the enemy stops camping them with AV.

While your at it why don't we give vehicles fuel. so that lavs have to go back to supply depots and refuel and infantry have to have eggs and bacon before being able to sprint again.

this is nerfing tanks once again, we just started recovering from our marauders being taken away and being replace with expensive militia ones, now your wanting to take away our effectiveness and make is even more scares...making us refill ammo will nerf us to almost non-existence in this game at the moment since we have maybe 2 things that work in our favor against av and infantry gameplay mechanics, this will just add on to the list of the 100+ things that make HAVs stand at a disadvantage.

that wouldn't help one bit read my post for a real ideas if you plan on rebalancing/super dev hammer nerf, because ammo is over 50% of our survivability that you want to remove.

have them as they are now. my effectiveness comes from my cannon and this will eliminate my effectiveness by over 50%

I think tanks having ammo is a good thing.

SImply because it offers another logistics role for LAVs and potentially dropships acting as resupply depots.

how is removing unlimited ammo a buff? that's a nerf, hard and a buff to AV. giving HAVs 1,000 HP~ isn't going to help.

yes it would, lets say this scenario for example:


im fighting an enemy tank that has a blaster and I have a rail gun, I hit all my shots on my target yet he doesn't die and the nearest supply depot is right next to him and he still has half of his ammo left in his cannon.. basically Im already dead in the water because of this nerf.

I love this Idea because one of my biggest peeves is tanks blowing up critical supply depots. Just a additional idea would be to add a high pg module that could replenish ammo on tanks.

the one thing I hate most of this community is that the tank drivers get no change to the tanks that we want to happen, all the changes are the ones that infantry want to shove on us but then you cry "whaaa I got nerfed I got nerfed" when your advantages are stripped away, how the **** do you think we feel when you do this **** to us. you guys are hypocritical.

Another horrible idea from people who clearly don't have any idea what its like driving a tank, leave the ammo alone. We are supposed to drive halfway across the map then run out of ammo? If your supply depot has been taken out then you are being shut down deal with it. Don't let it happen in the first place, have a counter tank use nano hives whatever, just stop trying to restructure the game around your performance. Restructure your performance around the game. I have seen very little in regards to broken gameplay, broken players however seem frequent.

As for supply depots I always leave the home one and destroy enemy controlled ones, What? It's not like any of the fools on my team are hacking it and it neutralizes the enemies defences so my teams infantry can move in. You heard of nanohives right?

I sure hope the ccp people reading this website don't take all these knee jerk reactions seriously.

again if you separate the driver seat from the main cannon, youl eliminate the want to skill into actually driving the damn thing and end up with absolutely no tanks being called out again. and yes your suggestion would nerf us, I know you cant see this because your an assault player and assault players no nothing about driving tanks yet your able to dictate what we get and what gets taken away from us.

no not exactly, we don't need teamwork to be effective but we do need teamwork to dominate. fact. at least for those of us that know what were doing...

Ammo: Nerf to effectiveness and eliminates more than half of their usefulness in all truth.


Weaker armour at the back of the tank, Stronger at the front: this is a present day earth feature, this is a galaxy on the other side of the universe 20000 years from now


Tanks need logistics, LAVs repairing me: they can already do this, its called remote shield transporter and remote armor repair


better map lay out so tanks could do what the are built for and push lines: they can barely do this now, but yeah it would be good to get better maps, this one I agree with.



I apologize for the sarcasm in the other post.

An unfortunate truth :( Tanks are rumored to be phased out and in the next 10-20 years the British Army won't even HAVE tanks.

But then again this debate comes up every 10 years or so apparently and every time tanks have prooven they have a place. Just the idea of a massive armored box and huge cannon being called a tank may not exist, the class of 'heavy support' most certainly will. (Stryker with 120m for example)

Glad I could be of service. I has teh fuzzy feels in my heart-hole :P

This is what plays in my head when I Tank:

Need Vehicle Lock ASAP CCP.......

OP didnt even think it through because suprise suprise he doesnt use vehicles (free LAV excluded)

Lets go through why its a bad idea

1. No squad lock/kick - Johnny useless bluedot jumps into my tank and spams the small turrets like a ****** wasting my ammo and my ISK since ammo costs

2. Ammo - where to buy it and how much? also i want diff ammo types so i can throw on some kinetic ammo t hurt a shield tank more or some explosive to hurt that armor tank more

3. Cargohold - I want a big cargohold so i can carry 100k of ammo if i want to

4. Where to get ammo from if in match? is it going to be from supply depots? if it is then some depots better be dropped down to where tanks can access it instead of being out of reach, is it a nanohive? if so we need a new nanohive

5. Turret clips - How many in clip and how long it takes to reload?

6. Skills - Like being able to increase the size of a cargohold, to be able to increase the size of turret clips and how much ammo is in a clip like all small weapons have


Thats all i can think of atm
