I got a really good laugh out of people saying Ninja has a bad tank fit.
He may not play with any heart but he knows how to fit a tank.
Now, I don't think AV is OP, but rather that tanks need some love. Mostly shield tanks right now, but if they adjust the reps on armor tanks lower then both will be virtually useless as support vehicles except as redline tanks. |

wouldn't introducing the other tank variants be a more suitable solution?
Given the track record, they will come out with less HP/CPU/PG than the enforcers and be just as useless.
The most suitable solution would be having a dev come and talk to the community about what role they envisage for tanks.
But no matter how hard we try, the devs have zero interest in talking to the vehicle users about how to strike that delicate balance between AV and vehicles while keeping it fun for both.
Given that the vehicle team thought that Assault dropships were too dominant, I have almost no faith in their ability to understand what balance is, so letting them create a new bastard to sit on the shelf is not progress. |

I play only for ISK so I have as much "Heart" as the Tin Man....lol. I prefer Logic :P
And only a BUG allows Armor HAVs to even be Fielded....while AV is capable of making the BUGGED OP Modules look UP..... It's very off & Shield Tanks suffer most due to Insufficient Reps & Hardeners (I was Shield until Uprising 1.1 Respec). Shield Tanking was only "Competitive" due to yet another BUG (Damage Mod 10% was actually 20+%). So....now the Shield Tank is DoA, Armor is UP, & AV is OP. When the Reps get "Fixed" then Armor is Unfieldable, Shield is DoA, & AV is GOD Mode......lol. PERSPECTIVE ACHIEVED :P
I'll give you a hard time when I can. You are one of the few tankers I see around with any regularity who is even capable of having a fight with.
Sometimes the AV on your side prevents me from finding you in the redline though 
In spite of what you may think, I tank 90% on my own, because it prevents me form getting mad when my tank gets popped. It is obviously my own fault when I am rolling by myself.
As it stands though, it does seem as if CCP wants to remove tanks from having any meaningful interaction with infantry. They seem to want us to stay as far away as possible, but all that accomplishes is making the game frustrating for both sides.
Hopefully, before everyone who actually knows how to keep a tank up quits, we can all get together and have some epic battles. |
