The tank is WAY overpowered (my story,)

[GrandTheftTank]

So last night I got out of bad sports and joined a session where the highest level was 52, so I decided to take out my tank. There was a bunch of teens talking over the mic about stealing a jet from fort zancudo. I took my tank and headed north. When I got there, one or two of them had jets and they were all clustered aroundthe airstrip. I rolled over there and they had never seen a tank so they were like "holy sh*t he has a tank." A few of them had jets which i shot down. I just spawnkilled them over and over, they threw grenades, tried to sticky a car a and ram it into me, but I always spawn killed them before they could get the car with the stickies attached. I killed them maybe 50+ times altogether. Then my tank was almost destroyed, so I fled, called my entity and went as fast I could to the tank spawn. By now they were at fort zancudo trying to steal jets to kill me, but I just kept spawnkilling them at the hill leading to fort zancudo. Some used passive mode but I just ran them over or blew them up when they got in a car. By this point they all started to tell each other to kick me, and about 5 mins later I got 8 votes to kick, no idea how I didn't get kicked, but I was getting bored, so I left them and found some british guy and what sounded like his little brother and spawnkilled them a bunch, the guy was getting so pissed, hetried hiding himself on the radar and passive mode but I just ran him over. And after about 25 deaths he quit and sent me angry messages.

 

Anyways my point is to show how completely overpowered the tank is especially with low levels. Even if you are high enough level to have a tank, you'll never be able to get it due to bad spawns. Grenades, stickies, and RPGs do f*ck all to the tank, and if you do destroy it, another one is only a call away. Literally the only counter is leaving the session, but the tank driver will just find a new noob to harrass until the lobby is empty.

 

Edit: hard to type on mobile and I didn't proofread, so my bad if it looks like a clusterf*ck of words.

The tank should be at level 100 & the RPG at level 70.

[bloodblossom]

tanks are easy.. step 1... get a sniper rifle.. step 2... there is no step 2 you automatically win.. just fire in the tanks general direction and the driver will die.

[JB59HD]

Tanks are overpowered against low level players who have just spawned in the middle of nowhere?

 

You don't say.

 

How about you try and take on some high level players, and see how long your tank lasts? If a 13 year old part time dunce cap wearing numpty joins a server with me and my crew, they usually last about 20 minutes before they go running back to the bad sport servers with their one badly singed pube trailing in the wind. A jet can take down a tank the instant it sees one, saying you shot their jets down is a bit of an overstatement, I suspect you shot them as they were getting into the jets, or perhaps they had landed them thrusters up in a pond and you took the opportunity to demonstrate your prowess at being a dillhole.

You mean a TANK!!!!! is powerful. Nooooooooooooooooo you don't say.

 

[scrublord]

They just need to lower the level requirement for the RPG or grenade launcher and increase it for the tank.

Then it's just tank on tank battles and whoever wins spawnkills the other until they leave. I just think they're stupidly overpowered.

In my experience, rpgs and grenades do nothing, a tank is the only counter. Raising the level would just increase the range of levels that a very high ranked player could spawn kill

Well I'm not a sociopath, I'm capable of having fun without ruining the game for someone else.

I kill tanks all the time with my nade launcher.. Going off the radar and piling up stickies works well too if they don't check behind themselves.

cool Story bro

RPGs are certainly too weak vs tanks, hit tank with around 5 and no effect.

Tanks in real life have special armor on the sides to make them explode before hitting the main body. So yes they aren't going to work all that well.

[bloodblossom]

best way to defeat a tank.. is to snipe the driver with a rifle.. or get close and pull him out (helps if you have off the radar from lester)

Sure but I think 5 rpg hits should at least slow it down a bit.

It would be more balanced if it unlocked at the same time the RPG does.

 

RPG owns a tank.

 

30 levels earlier? Ouch, its going to be a longgggg 30 levels until that RPG is avail.

[DillBagnr]

I thought it was kind of common sense not to go around tanks driven by crazy criminals if you're expecting not to die.

What level are you? I'm 123 and can't do a sh*t with my rpg to a tank driven by 70 lvl ppl...

 

With around 10-15 deaths you can get like 5 rpg hits and tank is still working fine...

 

Heavy sniper rifle trick doesn't work for me, tested it with friend even in close distance.

No doubt. you should be able to blow up the treads.

[Blasterman4EVER]

I can make bums with tanks quit in free roam by going positive in head to head kills with a few simple tricks:

 

1. Off the radar

2. Fast motorcycle

3. Sticky bombs

 

A grenade launcher, cover, and patience work well too. I am not a fan of using grenades though.

[Blasterman4EVER]

You just gotta play cat and mouse with them near alleys, and count on police to distract them.

 

Oh yeah... call Lester to remove your wanted level. That helps a ton.

Just for the sake of discussion, there is a documented example of a Challenger II surviving something like 70 direct RPG attacks after being partially disabled in Iraq, check it out on Wikipedia. 5 RPG hits might slow it down but it's not a definite death sentence by any means.

[dragonstara29]

Personally, they should just remove the tank.

[KimberJane]

So you just sat there and spawn killed them, that's rather lame and even more lame considering you had a tank and they had practically no chance to defend themselves. No wonder you were in the bad sports server.

[aurther61287]

um tanks are only strong now because people havent figured out the counters to them yet.

 

you can easily snipe someone out of the tank....then take it nearly undamaged. think on that for a sec before you whine they are too strong.

IT'S A TANK

You some kind of dumbass? I was the one in the tank. I can assure you there are no counters.
