DUST Search - Proto tanks, please

I don't think it is currently possible to fit a gunloggi that will survive a full clip from my forge gun unless maybe a bunch of active hardeners but then you only get 10 seconds and you are screwed. Proto swarms will demolish that madrugar quicker than you can get away. I don't even enjoy killing tanks anymore. They're just kind of sad now, like the driver knows they're going to die but calls one in because that the only thing they can do.

Yes you can still survive in a tank but they're going to be of limited use to the team. You can't really push on a position as there might not be cover, you try and defend a position and they overun while your hiding to rep. I understand that the things are useful to a degree but they in now way perform in a way the reflects their cost to use.

And even when proto tanks come out standard tanks will still be useless so any kind of tanking will be prohibitively expensive.

The whole thing is just stupid. Talking to some people in local and they told me I was crazy when I suggested having to work together to kill tanks and felt if a single player is driving then they should be able to solo them because that's fair. According to them tanks are almost OP currently but are around where they should be. Several people were saying this and when I ask them what AV they were using they respond with "militia swarms".

So proto-tanks should be implement, because it goes against the very core aspects of the game.

Great job guys. You've proven once again CCP must be incompetent if they keep making mistakes despite all the well-informed people here on the forums who are so willing to look objectively at both sides of an issue before making a decision.

Great job guys. You've proven once again CCP must be incompetent if they keep making mistakes despite all the well-informed people here on the forums who are so willing to look objectively at both sides of an issue before making a decision. Thank you. The worst part of this is that CCP made Eve possibly the most unfair game ever created and in Dust, they're catering to one play style l, and the worst players, at that. Y'all accuse tankers of wanting unstoppable death machines, and you know what it's true. For the SP and ISK I'm willing to coughup for one OK tank right now, you better believe I won't shed a tear for n unstoppable 10 mil death machine. The fact that y'all don't want us to have proto havs just proves how bad you are at this game, that u only want us play style to be viable.
Charlotte O'Dell Molon Labe. League of Infamy 594	Posted - 2013.06.24 11:38:00 - [25] - Quote Well informed and experienced tankers are the most reasonable people in Dust. I havent asked for N outright nerf in quite some time and all I ask for is ADV and PRO weapons like everyone else. The only thing keeping me, and the rest of the vets here, is hope that CCP will pull their crap together and make a game worthy of Eve. Like, look at PS2, and you know where a lot of hs will be going next year.

Proto tank would be a beast but not much could kill em so i can say bombers should also be introduced as a counter to it Im a pilot of most vehicles and tanks are the best way to make isk if you know how to use em Ps to the sniper tanks stop hiding in the red zone its boreing have a drive get some kills dont be so scared i run a rail cannon but i always find a good spot to av then go in for support to help the team ... I lose tanks but i can make em last so they pay for itself

Okay, you're new to tanks so I get where you're coming from, but from where you are now, to when you have 15 mil so into tanks, nothing will change. You will be no more powerful. That is the problem that you will soon see.

If tanks don't get better, they need to get cheaper and tank you for the support.

The only reason I use tanks anymore is BC I can't use anything else. If I got a respec I'd just become a redline sniper. They shouldjust remove vvehicles or make them free throwaways at this point.
