This thread is about balancing these 2 tanks, not about who gang bangs who the hardest
Yes but no tanker here has specifically spoken about their experiences with a tank crew. Which tank comes out victorious when the majority of AV deals more damage to armour, and both tanks have a 3-man crew? Have there been any tests into this? Here's another hypothetical situation. If we don't check out 3v3 shield vs. armour scenarios, and in actual fact shields survive for longer, and we balance shields and armour for 1v1, then suddenly shields are OP.
Voice of someone who's had a fully-crewed shield tank vs. fully-crewed armour tank fight.
To be more precise, all-Missile Gunnlogi (so perfect for anti-Armour) against a Blaster Madrugar with Small Missile Turrets (so not as perfectly anti-Shield), the Madrugar had taken some shield damage AND the Gunnlogi showed up behind the Madrugar after setting up an ambush.
Once it started taking fire, the Madrugar stopped moving, turned around, and just sat there firing at the Gunnlogi. The Gunnlogi, on the other hand, kept moving, trying to reduce the damage it was taking.
With a mobile target, there were occasional misses, or near-misses with splash damage from the Madrugar's Small Turrets, and even some of the Blaster fire was missing its mark. By contrast, the Gunnlogi landed almost every shot fired on the immobile Madrugar.
By the end of the fight, in spite of all the advantages it had, the Gunnlogi was on fire.
I'm sorry, but when you have a tank that's designed to be competent against any threat, and it goes up against a tank that's specifically designed for taking out that particular enemy, and the specialised tank has not only its preferred target but also an ambush going in its favour, AND a better driver, the fight should definitely NOT be close.
NOTE: Other than a few hits to the Madrugar's shields prior to the tank vs. tank encounter (which ended with infantry being wiped out by the Madrugar), there was no direct involvement from AV infantry. |
