For Tanks being a "dead breed" you guys sure do QQ a awful lot and always get 10+ pages easy of QQ. God mode is fine as is. I see corps bringing in 3 tanks and putting up good fights. Even with all the AV Tanks are more than fine if anything nerfs are in order.

I took a full mag from a Gastuns Forge today. Didn't even move because I knew the FG user.

Build your tank better.

Hi i'm a Gunnlogi pilot and i started tanking with uprising (not includig my experience pre-uprising since it involved a good amount of time running tough sicas.) Now this post really only has to do with shield tanking since i dont have any experience running armor tanks as far a im concerned they are the end all be all in regards to tank on tank combat seeing as the effectiveness of their rep and compatability with hybrid weaponry puts my gunnlogi in its grave in a 1v1 situation.

1. Putting your eggs in the wrong basket if you want to help out tanks in pubs, take is concerned with gunnlogi survivability in PCs also cant seem to understand that their doesn't mean what he thinks it does.
2.Shield tanks need the effectiveness of their repps buffed to give it a fighting chance in tank v tank
3. If possible decrease refresh rate of AV nades from hives
4. Lets find someone interested in balancing tanks as a whole rather than making them viable in PC only and get them in touch with ccp.
5.bind and gag echo & take and start listenting to Attorney & Meode..
6. For those up&comers like myself dont do what you see alot of idiots doing and idle at a sweetspot in order to rack up kills or do a circuit in order for your reps to recharge only to return and reinfoce that you are a problem and must be dealt with ,stay mobile & be aware of your surroundings and you wont have alot of the problems other tankers seem to have.

GL and happy hunting.

Big long post on the last page, no talk of nerfs. Clearly vpid you can't read or you can't formulate a reply. Well done buddy.

Alpha, that's funny. You try and talk down to me but won't put your money where your mouth is. Are you yet another of Charlottes alt?

Bump

if only infantry had actual common sense...

Proto tanks aren't in the game, so how do you know that it won't require 3 proto to take it down?

Currently, solo STD AV is not taking any decent STD tank down. If it is, then your tank is really bad.

hes also smaller and more moveable which will result in him sneaking behind you or surprising you from a mountain top about 20 feet way from you.

Have you ever heard of the term "pubstomping machine?," because that is what standard tanks are right now. We only dominate because the enemy team is too lazy to field AV. I've just played my 5th or so PC match today, where I am forced to fight smart AVers. I adapt, but the pain and frustration remains.

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in all of PC who uses a Vayu effectively (I have to make use of the 4mil sp sink somehow).

I've been running my Vayu all day, I have a secret build that no one knows about. Even in instant battles I use it more than my Madrugar and most of the time my Vayu out performs my madrugar.

For example, just today I had killed Tank Gorillarape in his fully fit Madrugar, with my Vayu. He was not the only one, but he was one of the more noticeable ones.

im trying to speak for the average tanker, but it seems that's impossible without everyone questioning how I personally drive them.

Yo.

Just want to tell you folks you're not being ignored.

I don't have any details I can share, but some stuff's in the works from what I'm hearing.

As a fellow vehicle bro, I'll do what I can to make sure whatever that stuff is makes things suck less :)


Keep the faith!

um i know im not some one of importance but can you guys put my name on the sig? i mean the more the better right?

Your original post would imply you're talking about 1 nade. If you mean multiple, then I guess you can insert whatever number you want to try and prove your point. I doubt you know more than me, but go ahead and keep thinking that.

STD tanks are supposed to be torn apart by proto AV. Pretty soon every sad noob with no gun game is going to drive tanks for the easy win. It makes me sad to think CCP is going to support it. But whatever. AV will probably cry for a buff next.

1. Should a proto AV be able to take down a proto tank when we get them? Yes. This ignores tactics, or even the tanker trying to save himself. If, when we get proto tanks, one wants to just sit out in a field for a few minutes, then one guy should be able to destroy it.

2. I do not recall saying that I could take 6 proto swarms. I don't think any tank right now can. If I did say so, please point me to the post and I will change it. I recall saying that as soon as I see someone fire a six rocket swarm(proto) I immediately start retreating.

3. Yes, in a PC match tanks are expendable. Sometimes the FC needs you to drive right up on to an enemy position. This will normally cost you the tank. That is why corps should be keeping their tankers supplied. An organized group of 3 or 4 AV, or a team of one tank and an AV guy will destroy a tank very very fast.

4. I do not want anything balanced off of just my perspective. But having my perspective called pro-infantry, or to have it be derided as invalid due to my disagreement with the common themes is poor form. The larger balance discussion requires much more input than just mine or yours. I am not a low SP tanker, so trying to get an idea of what low SP tankers need is beyond me. However, what I think would go a long way is to promote the idea that proper matchmaking should hopefully be able to keep low SP tankers away from high SP AV.

5. I provided the link because we DO need to balance for skill. Tanks should not be balanced so that bad drivers can do well. They need to be balanced so that really good drivers like you have to play really smart to dominate. Bad drivers should ALWAYS get ripped apart. Just like stupid infantry gets killed right away. If someone runs at my tank with full health and tried to throw an AV nade at me, or hit me with a Mass Driver, they die because they were stupid, not because my tank is OP. Just as if someone drives their tank right into the middle of a group of infantry and gets AV naded, it is not AV nades that are OP, it is the driver who is stupid.

I look forward to keeping this discussion going, hopefully we can get some more information out there for the Devs to read.

Seriously they take this thread over this one
