I'm gonna say as a career forge gunner I never understood all this complaint about tanks and how easily they're destroyed when I've personally seen an armor tank take 3 direct hits with my Ishukone forge gun at a 19% damage modifier which includes my one complex damage mod, this destroyed its shields. Then, one direct hit to armor, reload, 4 more hits, reload, and a final 2 more hits all within 200 feet. This included two shots from a merc next to me with a swarmer. All that damage and we only took its armor down to 40%-50% . Then he just repped and that armor went up soo fast it was ridiculous. How in the hell is that not good? This tank drove around like we were just throwing rocks at it. Are you kidding me? You guys must running some low armored tanks. I fear the day when everyone is maxed out on their specs for tanks and did like what thus guy did. Imagaine 3 of those on the field right now. They'd be unstoppable. |

Get out if you haven't skilled into Armour HAVs. Typical Infantry newbs.
Why the hell would I skill into HAV's? And why quick to judge as newb just because of what I described? Instead of calling newb, why don't you be so kind as to explain? |

FG against armor? Gimme a break, lol. Try proto Swarms or proto AV nades and then come back complaining how much armor last against AV. It's like complaining how Flux can't take down armor or how AV nades can't take down shields. I know FG does the same damage to armor and shields but armor tanks usually have way more hp and resistance than shields. I repeat: usually. Not always. So go 2 shot those shields tanks and don't come here complaining how your FG is not effective against armor.
So what your saying is that FG's are not as effective on armor tanks as AV grenades and Proto swarm launchers? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on tanks. That's why I described what happened on that game on that tank. And I was always told that armor tanks have high armor hp so that's what I used. And all I know is that it took a lot of direct hits. I was down to a few shots left and decided it was useless. Whether or not he repped it during my shots, all I know is that every shot with my Ishukone barely brought down that hp armor bar. And this is why I'm asking you guys to explain. I never once asked to nerf tanks. |

They'd be unstoppable. lolz @ scrubs sure you weren't using mlt gear. as someone who has both proto forge and proto swarm i can tell u tanks are crap period
I gave you my total percent damage. Multiply that with the Ishukone direct damage and you'll know how much damage I dealt. As for the tank itself, I'm not sure if he repped it while it was being hit, all I know is that every hit on that tank with my Ishukone was barely doing any damage. I assume everyone here has their tank skills all maxed out? My FG was proficiency at 9% at that time and I used 1 complex damage mod. Hence 19% total. That was a total damage of 1979 HP. So I'm asking you guys to explain to me how it's possible for a tank to take so many direct hits and only sustain no less than 40%-50% damage. Did he rep during my hits or had massive hp on armor plates? |

I fear the day when everyone is maxed out on their specs for tanks and did like what thus guy did. Imagaine 3 of those on the field right now. They'd be unstoppable. All of the specced tankers are now maxing out. The best fits have been made, and they can't be improved. Any other fit sucks because it's not the fit. Every tank is soloable by proto AV. And guess what? The amount of proto AV keeps growing every day. Almost every other game I come across proto forge guns. Although not as much proto swarms, they are easily spamable. Tankers are stuck at standard level only. We can't improve further. I doubt our numbers are growing, as AV quickly disposes of militia tanks. My railgun Gunnlogi lost about 1/4 shields after killing a Sica which got a few shots on me first until I found his location. Hell, I almost killed a Falchion today in the same manner: he pulls a couple shots on me, I find him, fire back, almost bring him to armor before he retreats and recalls, but that's it's own thread. Again, I don't know how your situation happened, but trust me when I say that tanks are not fine.
Thanks for not talking crap. All I'm trying to do is get educated based on that incident. Here's my FG stats during that time:
Ishukone Proto FG: direct damage 1663.2 HP
FG Proficiency: 9%
Total direct hit damage: 1979.2 HP
Total ammo: 13
Please let know how that tank can survive soo many hits. I was watching his armor bar since that tank was soo fricken close. There was no way to miss. |
