Yes. But that wont be fixed till 1.4 right?

On the plus side, at least we can shoot the driver out and joy ride their car until its a smoldering pile of wreckage.

The tankers I see usually kick ass maybe you are doing it wrong.

Everyone and thier mommas got AV these days, when we got our respec & saw lavs & tanks everywhere we didnt want to be helpless against vehicles, so we specced into grenades( very appealing) and/or AV weapons,mostly FGs cus we know FGs have always been badass.
Anyways I ran sagaris's last build and w/ the initial super nerf they had, to turret angles and sh*t controls. i said f*** that. I had trouble as a beast tanker last build trying to survive AV, so i could only imagine how it is now with an average proto AV player per match. Its not that AV is OP, but that theres so much AV, and when AV stacks it means death.
Too many tankers & too many LAVs spelled doom for themselves. If you spam something we'll counter it, even vehicles.

Perhaps fitting your tank to be more of a tank as opposed to a glass cannon. I've seen and talk to tankers who been tanking since closed beta and they know how to fit their tanks and how to quickly get out of bad situations. I will admit it doesn't help that you guys don't have the sagaris and surya anymore.

Due the amount of ADV and PRO AV players out their, my tank renders worthless, i cant really do anything other than let it collect dust in the shed. PRO AV makes my tank feel like it is free wp and isk for those players with AV, im running all the time from these turds on high spots, like WTF??? Any one with ADV and nades can solo the best tank out their. I dont even know how you can balance this other than taking out pro and adv av untill their are proto tanks!!

they kick ass going 36 AND 1 and that "1" is like 1mil isk...

Yea... Tanks are worthless. Forget that tanks are mobile large turret platforms, immune to majority of small arms, can have formidable damage resistance, and have large sums of health that can be quickly regenerated; because tanks can be blown up by a small class of weapons specifically made to damage vehicles renders them worthless.

I think I know what your problem is, you just fit your tank badly. Try replacing the noob pilot module with a better one. That should solve all your tanking problems.

I shot 3 LAV drivers out of thier seats in a match the other day with creodron tank and blaster, i'm not even a tanker.. was so much fun.. until a railgun blasted me to bits.. but like I said i'm not a tanker in general lol

one of them was a pretty beefy LLAV, I commenced to blowing that thing up immediately

IMO a tank should be the ultimate tank counter.


HAV battles FTW

Ok so say any given match you pull out your million+ isk tank and go 30 and 1.......how much do you think those 30 deaths cost the people you pooped on total? Maybe not a million maybe more just lookin at it from a different angle. Plus the fact you are takin away from their time/WP/isk cause they are busy chasing you instead of doin what they really want capping/killing/using their non AV suit/etc.

they kick ass going 36 AND 1 and that "1" is like 1mil isk...

Everything is balanced against tanks except AV grenades. Those things are like what flaylocks are to infantry. They should be strong enough to be a hard counter to light vehicles, but deal moderate damage to HAV.

The current AV grenades are as you described what is should be.

The issue is when AV grenades are used in conjunction with nano-hives or supply depots. Combine the fast rate at which AV grenades can be tossed with a constantly regenerating supply of grenades equates to a DPS that out performs all other AV weaponry. Thankfully this tactic has a very limited range; there is such a thing as being too close for vehicles.

LOL i would pay 1 million isk to get 36 kills i dunno:P

the proto turret pretty much cost the 1mil, in the end we pay more for turrets than tanks

Nobody has to chase a tank. That's why we have forge gunners that like to snipe, gives them something to shoot other than infantry. Ambush could use some work, like more supply depots since you're stuck in the fitting you choose until you die on all by 2 maps.

Should it really take 6 people to take out one person? For some reason, that just seems horribly unbalanced to me.

True I USUALLY ignore most unless they come mess with me or my squad OR they are parked in the middle of nowhere on a mountain railing my face so friggin annoying hard to resist goin up there droppin a nano and spamming AV nades. I donate a million here and there to my tank corpmate ( I understand how expensive the role is) I even secretly throw a little isk to ENEMY tankers I blow up after a match ( still in the early stages so my fits are pretty cheap compared to most so ISK right now is not a problem for me)
