The hot topic seems to be about tanks now. I was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of tanks prowling around, about 3-5 per match. It really felt like a war. Just throw in MTAC and Jet Fighters, then it'll be intense. I honestly thought it would be an issue at first from just the looks of them, but no one seemed to complain. There was very little complain about tanks burning ISK, which was an improvement than before. I'm not sure why the usage of tanks have gone up, but I have a feeling it might be because of the lack of free LAVs. I could be wrong. Well, it's good to see people using more of the beefy vehicles instead of being lazy with LAVs.

And the dropship pilots?
you all seem to forget we have to contend with being hit with the same weapons but only a fraction of the health, less cover and we cant perform our role at all from the sidelines |

not enough player count for too many vehicles. BF on consoles has this problem. Once you have like 3 tanks, 2 jeeps, 2 jets and 2 choppers all on the field per side, that leaves like 2 dudes on the ground. Its horrible. DUST as it is has a decent amount of vehicles without diluting the infantry player count too much. Youd need at least 24v24 if not 32v32 to really allow for a big vehicle war. |

Every vehicle operator knows how bad dropships have it right now. But sadly the devs don't give a crap about our opinions because they are working on their super secret solution for vehicles to be deployed sometime after all the players have left.
I predict tanks that can be popped by AR fire, stronger swarms and AV nades, as well as slower tanks, LAVs and dropships.
That'll teach those pesky vehicle users to never try to play the game again.
Then it will be onward with AR and Shields 514. |

I'm scared for when jets come, if they're actually decent at ground attack they'll get nerfed into the ground when infantry complains about them, tankers will probably complain a bit but they'll have their AA tank so we all know what the response to them will be... |

Yeah woohoo. This is so intense, fighting over this tiny building in the middle of a bowl! But there are paper tanks - therefore it is cool. |

I'm not scared for jets, they won't be in game for a couple of years at least, and by then, everyone will have proto AV and there won't be any tankers to focus on, so it will become everyone playing shoot the birdie. |

Weren't tac AR's technically capable of taking down tanks if they concentrated fire? |

Lol. Tanks were abused in Chromosome for pub stomping so dudes trained AV. I haven't thrown a single locus grenade since day two of open beta after getting run over non-stop by LAVs and blasted by tankers. I'm one of hundreds co-specialized in swarms, not to mention all the forge gunners. This is how the sandbox works. FOTM gets abused, casuals adapt. Deal with it.
Also, what game are you playing that is AR 514? The mix of weapons these days is epic. Literally the only two weapons I don't see in every match are lasers and plasma cannons. Everything else is heavily utilized and it's great to see. |

Yeah, because vehicle operators don't already have enough SP sinks to deal with. |

How much to be a tanker? 5 mil? 10 mil? 15 mil? I'm pushing 13.5 just in heavy and AV skills, and I'm not done yet.
We all suffer under the current skill point system. Tankers are not alone. |
