then why even have this game at all? its not meant to be solely infantry or gun grunts running around, that's what other games have like cod and bf, if you don't like vehicles get out of dust 514, we are a valid play style and deserve as much respect as you demand from us.
again if you don't like vehicles, then why the hell are you playing this game? its honestly sad to see that CCP only listens to whiners like you. and if you want facts for my statement, look throughout the history of dust 514 and the forums, youl see that CCP rarely ever listens to vehicle users.
I really feel like I'm trying to explain something to a child, and I'm probably just wasting my time, but here it goes again.
I drive vehicles. I have dropships, LAVs, and even tanks. I'm not a fan of piloting Tanks or dropships, but I do prefer the LAVs. Being mostly an anti-vehicle player it would be self-harmful for me to try and eliminate vehicles from the game.
It isn't that I dislike vehicles, but I don't think it's balance to require half of a team to take down one person in a tank. For every player that's anti-vehicle that team loses someone who is anti-infantry. Anti-vehicle players are easy targets for anti-infantry. Meanwhile, what has the tank side given up? Nothing. That gives the tank side an advantage.
You're pissed because being able to destroy every installation, every vehicle, and 99% of the infantry isn't enough for you. You find it unfair that there are people out there that can destroy you because you're a tank and they're not. That's where you should rely on your team. You're just one person, so your support should be taking care of the ones you can't get to. If you don't have good support, maybe you should consider keeping your tank in the garage.
Tankers believe that 1 person in anti-vehicle vs 1 person in vehicle should favor the vehicle. That's a stupid argument. You already have the favor in every other way. Why should you get it in anti-vehicle too? There needs to be a counter - it's a basic principle in MMO gaming. 3+ vs 1 is not balanced - that's getting overwhelmed by numbers.
I love vehicles. I just want real balance. Not a tankers warped opinion of what balance should be. An average AV player dies 10x more often than an average tanker because he has to worry about much more than just the tank. The only thing a tank is worried about is AV. If you manage to lessen that threat, then you pretty much run the map. You still need to worry about other tanks, but run with an envoy of 2-3 tanks and even that isn't a concern.
