How So, May I ask?
I don't tank frequently, and even then I use wimpy Sica's that get killed in 5-10 Minutes. |

ok in this video my driving kept the tank alive but the Resistance and rep what great CCP took away my power grid and my turret skill my tank should be a challenge to a load of people using swarms (mlt) you saw they came close to blowing me up but it should be like that but my tank could alway recover also CCP should return the Surya and sagaris |

If this is what tanks are meant to do then dropsuits should be free ;) seriously that's just brutal tanking. |

38/0.... That's it? I can do this still on a good day, and when there's no PROTO, or ADV. AV on the field. |

Proof? None? Okay. highest that I can really count is 74/0, and that was actually in 1.1 (I broke even  ), however, I've done max ~115 back in Codex. God those idiots wouldn't stop picking each other up lol |

Changing the tide of a game thanks to 1-2 people in a 10k+ HP tank?
No thank you. |

That awkward moment when CCP gets cold hard proof that this build was 1,000 times better. |

Honestly... that didn't look OP at all to me.
Proto type tank against militia AV... that was the name of the game back then.
In chrome I never found pro tanks to be OP... I remember taking on suryas in my standard assault FG and a standard heavy suit.
Also, look how slow he was with those heavy ass plates on. That tank wasn't overpowered... those red berries were just reta rded. |

Those were the good days when there was little proto AV.
Also see how you can actually see swarms coming from more than halfway across the map? Bring back the old rendering CCP! Why'd you have to change it at all? Now there's only invisible swarmers and forge gunners that you can't see where they're shooting from. |

Thats the price you pay for hiding in a tank.
AV users should be COMPLETELY invisible to tankers and LAv's LOOOOOL... |

Back then, people had a reason to spec into forge guns and swarms, you really had to work as a team to kill those damn things. When you did, the pilot would probably rage quit shortly after. Now, blowing up a tanks is like your partner telling you to take out the trash... |

I started ranking in January. I could run sic as all day and pull 10/0 almost every game. The golden age was around April when everyone had marauders. Then we truly ruled the battlefield in 10000HP suryas and sagaris that hit with a 5000 round cannon ball. Then the last month was hell for us with proto av hiding in the mountains. Still, tanks were pretty well balanced. Forge guns had insane range and kept the sagaris in check, and those kept the suryas in check, and those raped everything that wasn't a Ds or sagaris. I want that back so bad.
Tank battles were so fun. It was like the wild West with 2 tanks watching eachother very carefully, knowing that it was a OHK, and I had a draw speed only bested by a couple imperfect a and bunnies. 6 v 6 tank battles on mqnus peak were commonplace and once me and zitro brought 2 proto tanks into an ambush and literally destroyed the entire enemy team by ourselves. Seriously almost every kill that game was a scattered ion cannon. Of course, that was before anyone had proto av except hard cores like DS and Cubs. Stupid Gaston FG....
My tank was ridiculously fast too. I could travel across the biggest maps in under 20 seconds (redline to redline) and still level anything I saw without damage mods.
We were far from invincible and most tankers still got blown up in 2-8 minutes, but those of us who knew our weapons were gods. Still...there were only about 20 of us that could do that and I don't think many are around anymore. Most of my tanking buddies are gone and it makes me sad.
MOL...I got so good that by the end of the beta, I was running 7500 HP missile tanks and going 16/0 in pubs just to prove a point.
Uprising was q hard bite to swallow and adapting qaa difficult. Ultimately, CCP blam forced a lot of us into the seats of our murder taxis.
The armor tankers from chrome have stuck around longer than the shield tankers did and luckily we won't be nerfing reppers anytime soon. I have q shred of hope for 1.5 but just a shred.
If pilot suits are added and the passive skills come back, there will be a return of the hardcore tankers of old, but guys at me will be left at q disadvantage BC I saw nerfa coming g q mile away and went callogi slayer, MD, gunnie, chary, and Maddie just to be safe. Tanks will be my true passion forever, but if it returns to anything like it was in Chromosome I will have to stay out of my tank in PC for a few months as I spec back into it, proper. |

We need a proto lv tanks back in the game to match the lv of all the proto av out there , every man and his dog has them now and tanks are going down like wet paper bags to good av'rs you know who you are :), for instance on a few occasions my armor tank with mitigations running, of around 50% was being hit for around 3k dmg from a single swarm jeeze, if i didnt get to hide fast i was down in 2 volleys before reps would kick in. the cost of a decent advance turret tank is around the 7-800k isk mark , proto turret version bringing that cost to over 1.4million , to be taken down by 1 dude in 2 -3 shots pfff needs fixing fast or dramatically reduce the cost for us. Enforcer tanks rofl ccp what was you thinking , over 1mil each for less arm/shield -pg , and forcing tankers to go range sniping. i like to get up close and personel as many other good tankers do to, having an organised grp of players trying to take you down and if succesfull they feel that sense of acheivment and good points gain, not having 1 av dude running around like a super hero being able to take out tanks willy nilly. (bring in better tanks, fix invisible swarms, fix rendering) sry for my grammer im Disloksik :P see you on the field. |
