Re: Tanks are glass. Helicopters are OP

2042 forces tank mains to think far more tactically than previous modern battlefield games and you need to develop more skills to survive longer and still be effective.

That's my definition of raising the skill gap.

Aggressively rushing flags in BF4 is not skill, it's having a massive advantage of firepower and armour health and using brute force to take out weakly protected infantry who often had no anti tank equipment to fight back with.

Sure it was fun but it was also a very one sided fight.

  • Yet, and this is just about every game

    Tanks just sit in one spot raining fire.

    I was in a tank on Stranded and we never died.   Know why?  He kept moving.   We got hit with 1 out of 10 missiles fired at us.

    Moving increases your survival EXPONENTIALLY.    I find most complaints from armor are from pilots who camp in one spot.   That is your problem, not the design.  Try moving.

    EDIT:  I must say, I do find it ironic that they complain how easy they are to kill, while easily killing all infantry around them.

    @Tank2042Man 

    Having an advantage of firepower and armor is the very thing that defines a "tank" isn't it?

    As a former tanker, who is now a ground pounder for the most part, I think tanks are pretty useless in their current form, I barely give them a thought.

    Infantry should fear a tank rolling in but right now they have little to no impact on the battlefield in Conquest if the opposing team even has an iota of intelligence or commonsense.

    And in Breakthrough they are completely worthless because they know they never have to leave their home base to farm kills hunkered down behind Irish's sentinels and there is nothing that can be done about it.

    Tanks vs. infantry should be one-sided because well it's a TANK, lol.

    Nope.  Not sure where youre getting your definitions

    As a former tanker, who is now a ground pounder for the most part, I think tanks are pretty useless in their current form, I barely give them a thought.

    Most pilots who looking for the advantage you described feel that way.  It is because of your misinterpretation of the definition.

    Infantry should fear a tank rolling in but right now they have little to no impact on the battlefield in Conquest if the opposing team even has an iota of intelligence or commonsense.

    Only infantry without means to deal with it.

    And in Breakthrough they are completely worthless because they know they never have to leave their home base to farm kills hunkered down behind Irish's sentinels and there is nothing that can be done about it.

    These are * pilots.

    Tanks vs. infantry should be one-sided because well it's a TANK, lol.

    Im not sure where youre getting this info.

    @Ironhead841 I get your point but no matter what Dice throws at me I try and cope... however and it's a big however, I gave up tanking in BF3 conquest because of how OP choppers and jets were.

    I just tanked in 3 of the 4 CTF maps that had scouts instead of attack choppers and of course Tank Superiority which was pretty damn good in BF3 compared to the rubbish version in 2042.

    In 2042 at least I have a chance of killing the infantry threats or retreat to cover.

    I'm just too addicted to the battlefield tank experience to give up on it.

    I feel ya man, I do, and like I said I completely understand WHY tankers are playing the way they do right now.

    I just think should pose a bigger threat on the battlefield than they do right now, like they need an armor buff or something to make them more fearsome and formidable.

    But as I said I don't really know a way to do it without people losing their minds, lol.
