@Tank2042Man don't be sad that's just how it works out sometimes!
I feel you pain! Driving a Tank is useless in 2042..

@jcswe Well I respectfully disagree.
I've probably put in a 100 hours or so in tanks and I generally have a lot of success.
However you do have to bide your time and be patient or you're just rolling the dice and you can die very quickly by not paying attention.
Though you can still have a good time marauding through maps like Orbital and Dustbowl and survive a long time but your mini map is your friend, 300% zoomed out, so you can see where the enemies are as much as possible.

Infantry are totally being crushed by vehicles in this game.
This is partly due to the map design.
Dice will probably never fix the maps and the only way to fix the infantry/vehicle balance is to nerf vehicles even further.
Increasing splash damage would make the game even more unplayable for infantry.
- 4 years ago@cso7777 You are saying "vehicles" as in plural and the use of a broad stroke for all. We are talking about the splash damage of the tank, just one vehicle. This is something I see constantly on this forum is the refusal to look at things on an individual bases and be lazy and just say "well all vehicles are crushing us!" when it's not the case.
If you're having constant run-in's with aircraft, or bolte's or etc. specify that, otherwise you'll be brushed off as someone who is trying to solo an armored vehicle with a knife, and complaining that you dont do damage.
The game is not "unplayable" for infantry, the highlights usually prove your observation wrong. And with the amount of verticality and freedom of movement in general, you may want to refine your statement to something that is more clear instead of trying to peg all vehicles as "crushing". This does not help anyones issue or gripe, besides trying to fan the dead flame, which is infantry players complaining about a combined arms game despite having a spawn system which allows for near unlimited adaptation if your entire squad is together and not wiped. A tank can fire it's main gun every 4.5-5 seconds (not aprox.), ontop of dealing with the quick overheat of its coax, the weapons stations also overheat, are clunky and are widely inaccurate if the tank is mobile. While I do agree the maps are rather open in some places, the lack of splash damage simply means you want easy risk free kills against ground targets in this case. This gripe to me, sounds more like a " I couldn't 1v1 -insert w/e here- so all vehicles are broken plz nerf and buff me instead"
This is not constructive, or good for gameplay, the video is clear enough to show there is an issue. Infantry have plenty of tools to deal with vehicles in general, and friendly vehicles to cover you (or at least they should), the game is hardly unplayable for infantry, you are simply asking for no pressure and no risks but want to be rewarded.
- 4 years ago@Flavin913 Well it's a bit weird that tanks are more successful at taking out infantry at long range than they are landing 4 tank shells within a couple of feet of infantry.
At least with long range you don't have to worry that the enemy is going to throw some c5 on you while you both dance around eachother!
