It's a mouthfull, but that use of the tank makes it so over powered its ridiculous. There are moments i have been literally about 1,500 feet in the air and out of no where all i hear is a little "tick" noise and more than half of my ADS's shield is down (mind you i have a 31% shield resist) and there is absolutely no way to tell where the shot came from. When i lower the ds down to investigate where exactly the shot came from, i get hit yet again because the tank is constantly able to watch me behind the red-lined area of their side. It's the most pathetic, useless, and disgusting tactic i have ever witnessed in all of my time playing Dust, and i hope it's abolished quickly. What's new about this again? The most broken part about it is they are basically immune to being killed, except for maybe a lucky orbital. Anything else, they just roll back behind their little mountain and recall. CCP doesn't actually intend for Dropships to be used in normal games.
It's extra crappy because of how OP their damage is, how terrible (THE BEST) ds survivability is, and the fact that in anything other than Ambush you will have large rail guns, be them tanks or turrets, shooting at you with absolute impunity for the entire 15 minutes. If you get hit at all, you're likely dead. First hit will either kill you, send you into a ground/wall collision, or destabilize you making the second shot even easier to nail. Killing blow!
redlines in general are stupid. But this is just ******** |

What a load Pig,
If AV was non existent it would not preclude or curb the existence of redline rail tanking in ANY way.
Agreed, AV is ridiculous but please quit pretending that if we buff tanks or nerf AV that red rails will disappear. We're not that stupid. And PS, tank recall is being abused. |

Meaning we can only kill you from a distance with a rail tank. That and the fact that now a days it only take's one hit from an av grenade or a swarm launcher and the tank is gone, so most of us either snipe or risk loosing that one tank.
Ive been told to play a vehicle (esp flying) you need ground game running around to tank out AV. Sounds like tanks just need a single AV player to keep DS away (truth, that's all it takes). Its a team game. Redline is different than playing smart or having a good team to cover all positions. It's just boring and cheap.
I don't blame tankers though. I blame the game mechanics. This is something CCP needs to address, you'll never stop player behavior because it's unsavory or bad for the game overall.
If AFKing is a problem, CCP needs to prevent it.
If MCC sniping is a problem, CCP needs to stop it.
If Redline playing is a problem, CCP needs to alter or abolish the redline.
Till then, keep at it but know I'm not impressed :P |

Ccp is like the honey badger. It don't care. ive been asking for aa tanks for months now guy. so yes people have been asking for them. Except it's completely unreasonable to have anti-air tanks when you already have tanks that are completely capable of being "anti-air" with their redline railgun sniping, so why you would even want an "anti-air" tank is stupid, because you already have the best all around anti-vehicle, anti-air, anti-infantry vehicle in the entire game. Well, apart from their also game-breaking "Murder taxi" that makes this game mario-cart 514 for many infantry players getting ran over and unable to do anything about it. Also, Soldiersaint, link me to a well-supported thread where there is a mass conscientious for "anti-air" tanks, because there isn't one.
LOL the only "air" currently is dropships and for the next 2 years the only air will be dropships.
So really what he asked for, and when CCP granted people is an "Anti dropship tank". Which is -absolutely- outrageous |
