DUST Search - How tanky/powerful would a proto-tank have to be anyway?

The answer OP, is that it wouldn't have to be much stronger, if the standard AV and tanks were weaker ^_^ Or it would be a lot stronger if the Proto AV was stronger.

It shouldn't take 3 AVers to kill a Tank, the argument is flawed. It should take a single good AVer with the right AV to combat a single good tanker, if the AVers are bad it'll take more.

Like I said I'll agree with that when the AVers start paying over two mil ISK per AV fit. You want to go that route I'm all for it.

why do you even post if you dont understand the basics? do you like to make yourself look stupid?

again for you, isk never was the primary balance factor for raw strength. a tank offers the team something that nothing else is able to do thus the cost is well justified. if 2m isk is a problem for you then dont drive a tank (rule #1 of eve, dont use what you cant afford to lose). requiring a 3 people to take down a tank would mean instant win for the team with more tanks because it changes the game into a 15vs13, 14vs10, 13vs7 etc.. (3 people busy to take care of one tank). it would change the game into tanks 514 sooner or later. your arguments will matter as soon as you understand this and wake up from your tunnelvision trance.

Props to you for having this understanding. It doesn't seem like many people do. When you can drop 4 super tanks in a match and it only takes 1 pilot per tank. Who's to say that these super tankers won't get together and roll out every match just so that they can dominate the majority if the games. And then eventually, more and more super tankers will be fielded just like any other overpowered weapon that's the flavor of the month and then DUST because an all out vehicle warfare of tanks. And you dropship pilots think forgers are a problem. Wait till this happens. You'll give up your wings cause there's nothing you can do against them. I'm soo glad CCP monitors the metrics of this game and aren't gullible to listen to forum posters at 100%. If they did, DUST would be long gone.
