Since when was this World of Tanks ?

[Millpoint]

I just got done playing 3 rounds of TA it’s just plain retarded the entire is team started with tanks all 3 times with like A light mech or two and these were pubbies I’m getting tired of putting volley after volley after volley into a spot that already has no armor ..... The hull system is cranked up way to high right now the hull at most should maybe take a gauss rifle hit but as it is now I don't see many mechs being used. I refuse to sink down to their level and pilot tanks because it’s the newest and greatest op system in the game. I know one person that has given up the mod because of this till they fix it or update and I’m on the ropes of possibly doing the same.


EDIT We were able to bet them with use of c3 and long toms but if this isn’t fixed looks like il be spotting for long toms for the next 6 months. Assuming I don’t get tired of it.

honestly if i wanted so much tank action i wold play World of Tanks!!   .. this is sad the devs have destroyed the game. it is not longer  a mech game ..
plus . Were not Battlemechs to make tanks less usable .. i mean tanks have there place but not like this.. i am also about to stop playing.

Just finished a round on XI using nothing but 'Mechs. Came first, had 400k spare, never died, enemy team used a lot of tanks. They're not OP, if anything, they needed that buff badly. You're overreacting.

I was in that round with you. You were piloting a mad dog with the twin gauss most of the time staying back. We did win but you can’t brawl with the tanks as it is unless you outnumber them they are already damaged.

Tanks have been the best starting option for quite a time now, the Heph Prime was the strongest rank 1 unit since 0.5.0 IMO.
Now that they have reduced the B to rank 1 level I can already see how Heph swarms will become common in the first wave.

The Hully system was a much needed buff, tanks were to easy to kill, especially since you could hit the already damaged left side while standing on the tanks right far to often, leading to stupid kills.

It never was, its a combined arms game.

I went toe to toe with a Demolisher B for a while, until I had to duck behind a hill to reload and Captain Coolant came along and got the kill :p

That is a very stupid way of looking at it.  "Boo hoo hoo the devs changed something" Guess what?



THIS  IS  BETA!

there are bound to be balance changes, some for the better, some for the worse, that is what we are here to find out.

Please make posts in a more constructive manner, not "If you don't change this back I will not play", like a tantruming toddler

[-AAA-]

A "you have ruined the game completely" post already, when this version hasn't even been out 24 hours.  Holy knee-jerk judgement, Batman!  Did you give any thought to the fact that with the new hull system, everybody wants to test it out and get a feel for it?

True that, too much drama.

Im not saying remove the system I play cbt in some various online campaigns. I would swear the tanks hull(internal) is way higher than my mechs internal in this mod...... Also I have already put about 5 hours into the beta since the update.

Given how bad tanks were before, they needed a change like this. Maybe the hull component is too strong, the fact that you can't just shoot a Demo in the turret 4 times and disable it was a definate bonus.

Anyone who ever complains about tanks being overpowered was not around when 0.4.0 came out.

Actually I have I have been playing this since it was crysis only. And it reminds me of back then a little bit.

What if they lessened the hull and made the turret fixed to whatever angle it was when it was knocked out ? Or disable some of the weapons in the turret not all of them.

The only tank I'm worried about benefitting too much from the hull component is the Morrigu. All other tanks seem reasonable atm.

The partisan and hovercrafts or the huits feel just fine. Its the oros demos and morrigus I dont like with this hull system in its current state.
