so everyone, giving tanks ammo would give the battlefield a new dynamic to the game, Thus giving it a better flow to gameplay,Thus introducing new tactics to the game.

I'm not nerfing tanks, i just feel that there should be a balance. i mean even giving tanks 20% extra hp with the ammo idea in play.


Edit: even a 10% damage increase.
Edit: i want the game to flow and some tanks in the game, just stop the game from flowing.

what would you have the tanks like they are now, or 20 percent increase in hp; a 10 percent increase in damage but you have to rearm?

it wouldn't, it would increase your effectiveness by 20 up to 40 percent from how far your away from the resupply.

time to think about tactics.

Yea, I was thinking that to.

Yea because you want a easy ride in pub matches.

It's a great idea and i would love to see it done. If you want to see players kill a class just look at heavies... But i'm not killing a class i'm making the game flow and giving tankers more things to think about.

I would love to see tanks been controlled by a spotter, gunner for the main canon and a driver.

If you give tanks ammo then logi drop ships could resupply the HAV and a logi LAV could also... I'm not here to nerf, i'm here to make the game flow but also giving players more skill to drive a HAV.

you have to have a carrot and we know it's all about the WP.

So what every tanker is trying to say, is they don't have to have team work to be a tanker. The AV guys do?

I would love to spec into tanking if it was more of a thinking mans games.

I would be a tanker if...

Ammo
Weaker armour at the back of the tank, Stronger at the front.
Tanks need logistics, LAVs repairing me.
better map lay out so tanks could do what the are built for and push lines.

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)

HAHAHAHA, ah, good one mate... wait you're serious?! Oi...

A tank is a large vehicle and a staple of supporting a group of infantry, but it is only support. Without infantry it will rapidly cave under the fire of AV if that AV does not have to worry about enemy troops. What do you do if some AV spec scout gets too close to your tank and you can't turn fast enough? You die like a lamb to slaughter because you fought alone. Furthermore with the one-man tank crews in DUST, you can't make the argument that tanks are meant to be major frontline weapons, as these are far simpler than a standard tank. In games like Red Orchestra and Planetside One, tanks can be forces of immense power because they need multiple people to run. In games like Halo and DUST, the one-man tank cannot multiply your strength too much or else it becomes endgame tech and outmodes the lighter weapons.

In all seriousness there are two kinds of tank. To simplify, there is the Main Battle Tank which is what you see in most media, and the Support Tank, a smaller, flimsier creature designer more for hit-and-run and fighting MBTs. DUST HAVs are STs, not MBTs. WOOO ACRONYMS!

Your turrets are not where the teamwork lies, and Mercenaries create things called PMCs for a reason. When fighting randoms with randoms, your HAV may seem like an unstoppable force. When pub stomping, it may actually almost become one. But in a full on, everything on the table fight a DUST HAV is not meant to lead the charge. I'm sure your corp, Internal Error, didn't get to where it was by having their entire membership care only about themselves and their next paycheck, yes? You seem to not understand the definition of the term 'mercenary.' A mercenary is a person that does things for the major result of getting paid. To do so, many of the murder-type of mercenary form groups because they know they can get farther with a team than on their own.

More on topic, I believe there should be a bigger, slower, tankier tank that requires three people as the MBT of DUST, and that all vehicles should have ammo restraints. The current tanks are fine as Support Tanks and should remain that way sans infinite ammo.

A single man's experiences on the battlefield do not epitomize the class as a whole. I've seen someone go 25 and 2 with Nova Knives, doesn't mean that they are what they aren't.

And what, this is a blank check for nothing to make sense? There are certain standards which need to be followed when certain terminology is used, and certain levels of consistency that need to be kept to maintain the lore. All things in EVE and DUST have limited ammo, ergo vehicles in DUST should also have limited ammo. A tank is a tank is a tank, so if you call a tank a tank and it looks like a tank it should behave like.... well, certainly not a duck. The DUST vehicles already have weakpoints dotted along their hulls, so we know such a feature is being implemented. This may be 'a galaxy acorss the universe' but it isn't nearly 20k years later, and it is also after a long 'Dark Age' directly after the collapse of the EVEGate.

IN SHORT, if your tank can not be limited by the common idea of a tank, then my shotgun should be effective at 150 meters because spacefutures. Once again, sounds a tad silly, eh?

My 'argument' is that your excuse of allcaps 'it's da future' just doesn't cut it. Just because it's the future doesn't mean that the vehicles can be out of line with every other aspect of the world fiction and of the preconceptions of the role of a tank. You can call a tank a rabbit and set it on the forest moon of Endor, but we'll all still call it a tank and expect it to act like a tank while firing lasers because it's in Star Wars. Similarly, you can call it an HAV and plonk it on the desolate surface of Moldon Heath II, but we'll all call it a tank, expect it to act like a tank, and expect it to have limited ammo like every Blaster Rifle, Autocannon, Scout, Frigate, Dropsuit and Ship in the entirety of the EVE universe.

Seriously.......STFU Null Gecko, you are seriously a Novice @ FPS, have no idea what you are talking about (CoD =/= Teamwork....), have proven to have no "Ground Game", & are at best a Passable Tanker. Everyone else is a CoDboi who wants Vehicles out of DUST.

PS: Tank Weak Point is dead center of Rear (Generator) right below the Turret & slightly above Ground Level. Also the entire Bottom of the Tank. Good AVers know this well, & good Tankers know it best.

If you ignoramus wish to Cap our Ammo then we get Real Wide AOE 1-Shot to Infantry (Real Tanks do this....Zzzzzzzz). Tanks in DUST are Paper Mach+¬ Pi+¦atas VS Proper AV (Solo) & Moderate AV (Duo). What is left of us is the Best of us & we just make this **** look Good. I've stepped into your shoes & ISK Farmed all day in my CoDboi Disguise. Ya'll step into our Shoebox & I guarantee you will be Broke in a Day, Week tops :P

Wow.....you are even more ignorant than I previously knew (FACT). You were Infantry & almost always went Negative (Unless in a Murder Taxi No Skill, which was all you did). You even Voiced & Alliance Chatted how you were no good on the Ground & wanted back in your Tank. I, on the other hand, Adapted w/ my Bumblebee TAC w/ Hacked Exos & maintained Relevance. I hopped back in my Tank b/c nobody else would & I am Proficient as hell in it. You couldn't even pop me w/ AV Support (Proven)..... & you still don't realize you are talking to a Tanker??? You lack Reading & Comprehension & are telling me to "Speak English".....lol!!!! Seriously Scrub.....go back to Umbrella Corp, you are not welcome in NF in my honest opinion.

TL:DR: I do not like you & you are irrelevant.
