Leave AV and Tanks alone - they are balanced enough. Vehicle users cry because when they die, once every 3 games, they lose 4 games worth of isk.
Chop the prices in half, keep it at 2-3 games cost for the risk value, but not at 4-5 games for the play value.
Currently, after reaching the low 4.8 mill SP, I hitting up 28-0 high side, 13-0 on the low side against proto gear even. But every once in a while, the opposing team rallys a squad of swarms to take me out and is victorious. So to adapt, check player lists and hesitate if I know something is up... However I think most tankers would be more ballsy if it was just 25-50 percent cheaper... Tankers KDR might be more realistic as well.
I know their are balancing threads out there, but I felt this was a different way to solve the issue.

In reality, the heavy dropsuit would cost near the same amount - if you are using this type of logic in a science fiction world. The suit itself and the tech it takes would make every drop suit near 1 mill + or more because smaller can be more expensive... |

In fact, the only harder things to use are dropships, plasma cannons, and lasers. Take a ride in a tank and tell me how easy it is. For 11 cents, you can get your very own maddy with an ion cannon and lose it because you have no idea how to tank. All trolls aside, I'd appreciate a price reduction of 50%, so that my tank only has to last 3 rounds, instead of 6 (averaging 250k isk/game). 3 is much easier and any good tanker can manage that...6 is asking a bit much- i dont care who u are. haha See those three things you listed are actually difficult to use, the only thing "difficult" about the tank is its turning ability coming from a dead stop Militia tanks are just fine for learning the driving mechanics so dont try that "You havent spent millions of SP on them" its a weak argument and you know it However you can ramble about fitting them all you want since I dont know the optimal fits for the tanks we have right now Ok buddy, you think it's easy to manage such a large vehicle? Making sure you are positioned right, at the right range? In a Dropsuit you have to be aware of you immediate surroundings, in an HAV, you have to be aware of a huge area because you have the ability of the engage a much larger area. A tank can be the anchor of an assault, or can block enemies from coming close to an area. You have to know your strength and your weaknesses. An HAV is not invincible, knowing how to fight, where to fight, and for how long are critical to your effectiveness and survival. I've rolled into areas and have watched infantry scatter before me, I've pinned whole teams into little areas where they can't move. In an HAV not even heavies or protos can escape your firepower in a tank. Just cause I can't shoot an AR doesn't mean I can't influence the battlefield, and if I'm prudent when I need to be and aggressive where it's needed, nothing can stand in my way. When the maps start getting bigger, you're gonna want an HAV to attack the objectives because you can't manage the size of the maps in a suit. I can't wait for the day where Amarr laser turrets light up the sky, and Minmatar autocannons punish anything on two feet to compliment Caldari Missiles and Gallente Hybrids. I drive the big stuff to make sure your meet your demise is from the big guns, and you can't stop me.
well that got serious lol |
