Only if they are truly OP. When ANY dumb noob can hop into a tank and get more than 3 kills, we have a problem. I want tanks to be something that gets killed in 2 minutes by a stupid driver, but that can easily go 40:0 in the hands of a skilled expert in most pub matches.
All of this arguing over noobs and tank OP? The solution is obvious. I can't field a dropsuit that I do not have the skills for (suit or equipment), yet any noob lacking the skills to pilot a standard or enforcer tank can hop in and joyride. Fix this and the noob problem is solved. Anywhere else in New Eden, if a pilot comes across a ship floating in space, that pilot can not enter that ship if he/she hasn't the skills to pilot it. Incorporate this element planet side and it will reduce many of these issues.
I agree with Stinker Butt's AV comment. AV nades should have the ability to drop a HAV quicker. Much of the HAV issues are not an OP on either side (HAV or AV). HAV are infantry support vehicles and should be used as such. If an HAV pilot has problems staying ISK efficient, then that pilot should consider another path. With the exception of PC, I have remained ISK efficient for months now and I roll standard and enforcer tanks, both rail and blaster. Another solution for ISK efficiency is introducing item sales. Once we have the ability to sell all of this useless loot, ISK efficiency will be a non-issue. I have loads of proto dropsuits and equipment in my assets wasting away. Once item sales or trades are introduced, I wouldn't be surprised if another 100mil is added to my wallet for this loot.
As for my disclaimer, before anyone starts throwing stones in my direction, I am a dedicated ISK efficient HAV pilot.

Edit: P.S. @ Pikachu.. They can go 40:0 in matches, I've hit in the 30's many times; but it was while supporting my squad. |
