To be honest, i'd like it if all my forge gun shots correctly registered the hits.

Pub match modes that don't allow vehicles. IE ambush on a small map would be great.

Even small skirmishes with only a few objectives with no vehicles.

The issue for tanks is that CCP does it's balancing based on pub matches. We've got vets with 10 times the SP of noobs and we can run around face raping them with no regard for our clone.

CCP should take a week and allow their devs to play in corps with players to see what really goes on. I don't think they understand the issues at all. Reading forums and looking at data on a screen isn't doing it.

I find it amazing that people assume I am complaining over some problem. I am not. I do think that certain AV weapons are too powerful but I do not want to discuss that in this thread as I believe it can be stated elsewhere.
This thread is entirely stating to the Tanking Community, those that have said "Giving us Prototype Tanks will undo a lot of the imbalance of Tanks vs. AV as AV has Prototype and we do not."

The only negative thing I have gone with is to politely, and hopefully rationally, disagree with the idea that Prototype Tanks would be sufficiently better as to be a 'reasonable' match up against Prototype AV weapons.

I don't believe Prototype Tanks should beat AV right out.
I am not complaining about a Hard Counter.
I only believe that unless there is some drastic change in how the methodology of Tanks have been, I do not see Advanced or Prototype Tanks being much better than just a Standard Tank.

Be well.

Feedback appreciated

Here is what I think

So then let's take away your PRO AV. If you don't want us to have PRO and/or ADV tanks, then start up a petition for CCP to take away your PRO AV. And that would include the PRO AV grenades, too.

Deal?

But now you're getting heavy commando suits that have two light weapon slots in it. That's two Wiyrkomi swarms, or a Wiyrkomi and a Duvolle.

Now, all you have to do is give up an equipment slot to destroy us and those that just got out of the battle academy. What more do you want? Have you ever been on the receiving end of a prototype swarm launcher?

Militia gear is supposed to be pathetically weak, but guys still throw those on their prototype suits stacked with damage mods so that they never have to put up the skills for a single level into swarm launcher operation. How is that fair for those of us who've sunk all our SP into vehicle command and vehicle upgrades?

And for people talking about commandos, they won't be a big issue, since they'll be faster w/ less HP than the current heavies.

fixed that for you. the limited slots (2high 1 low on a proto) is why people won't want to use them

I agree it should take a team to take out a tank (4-5) mercs. not just one gut that chased you with a proto - adv swarms or forage not counting on the guy that just spams grenades. The way that an tanks would be taken out is like an logi takes res and makes a trap while the forage gunner and swarms coordinate to make the tank drive into the trap

I think the current STD HAVs should have the stats/price of the eventual ADV HAVs. It's obvious that otherwise, proto HAVs will absolutely obliterate everything, and will be ridiculously expensive.

4-5, if it's your average AV guy who happens to have ADV swarms or less, and it's a really good tanker, sure. But 4-5 all with pro AV is crazy. 2-3 is better.
