Tank solution

[MajorWhytey]

So we all know this game is tank friendly. No cost to order. Costs less than an RPG or sticky bomb. So to destroy a tank even with sniper ammo is gonna cost the victims some expense. No cost to replace destroyed PV's etc. No cost to the twanker when it eventually die's, then just call up and order a new one. Definitely the safest and cheapest way to roll in this game.

 

Solution: pay for tank ammo.

I.e. X amount for every round used.

 

Folks would think twice about taking the tank out. Would be more conservative with sh*t they blow up. Griefers will be affected in their pocket. And for folks that absolutely must grief with tanks all the time , rockstar has more opportunity for cash card sales

 

I mean seriously it's cheaper than using a pistol.

[SaveKillzone3265pls]

maybe just limit the tank ammo so they'll have to think twice about shooting at everything that moves?

Great idea, the Buzzard ammo should also have to be purchased.

[scubadave]

unless its like 10 cents, no.

[jwyleski]

Best solution: get a tank yourself.

Great idea, the Buzzard ammo should also have to be purchased. How about just higher rental fees and longer cooldowns? $10000 and 10 minutes to call in a new Tank or Buzzard, not other Pegasus vehicles.

 

I also think a slower barrel traverse speed and longer shell reload time would help balance the tank.

This. Leave tanks alone.

[Technetic]

The problem is that Tank players dont use the tank for anything other then griefing , and by saying " just leave the session/ leave the tank alone" just means that we will have to put up with any bullsh*t that happens in free roam.

Bad part is , almost every session has at least 2 tanks just going apesh*t on everything.

 

I agree with the cooldown,ammo, and turret speed. Not to mention they need to fix the insurance and PV problem.

 

I have a tank but to be honest ive only used it 2twice and that was take a picture with it on the maze building and to destroy all of fort zacudo.

[MajorWhytey]

I've got a tank that I frequent myself. But it's all too easy and too cheap. And highly unfair.

 

The most powerful weapon in the game and the cheapest. Even costs 15k to refill the mini gun after you die when using it.

 

Tanks should be at a premium. The ultimate weapon should be the highest expense

[Daviedv]

Why is everyone intent on making this game no f**king fun anymore?

 

I use a tank sometimes, it's fun. It's more fun as it doesn't cost me a kidney to use it.

 

Other times somebody else has a tank. I go into passive mode and laugh as I run around a tree and they can't hit me.

 

I don't see the "tank" problem tbh.. This is grand theft auto, not happy fairy princess gets her period saga.

The cost of the tank isn't the problem there, the stupid cost/disappearing ammo of the mini gun is.

Plain and simple , Tanks should have been STEAL only. None of that glitch into your garage bullsh*t. If you can get it out Zacudo then its yours. If you can get it out of there numerous times while theres 6-7 other AI tanks shooting at you , then by all means knock yourself out.

 

 

Also how does this discussion not have a case, yet when Online started EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE was crying about the cops being overpowered and making the game unfun. Hypocrites.

No one has tanks in their garages... Rockstar fixed that. You have to go collect your paid for tank, which can be stolen before you get there.

That makes no f*cking sense at all. $10000?! We're no billionaires anymore, 007. They'll never change the way tanks are, and as more players level up it's only gonna get worse. I can't wait. Edited January 18, 2014 by Deathmaker158

OT for a sec: Did i get out of a jet and give to you last night? Your name sounds familiar.

 

Not big on the rental thing, i think we should start with a cool-down and slower turret speeds and then see if it's a problem...even that's a stretch for me.

[wanes]

Yesterday i sniped two tank drivers on foot, i was surprised they rage quit but i don't blame them because one of my crew mates showed up in a tank after i killed them lol.

I like that it that idea. Should cost for ammo in the tank. Wouldn't effect my gaming though.

It costs about $10,000 in RPG ammo to take out a tank, so the cost of the tank should be similar.

 

There is absolutely no balance in the game with tanks. As long as Rockstar does not fix the tank problem, it is clear that they have no f*cking clue what online gaming is about.

Sorry, just had to. Okay, now you all may continue with the topic.

I think if you sticky a tanks track it should not be able to move, this way airstrikes could be used on tanks. I also think 3 RPG shots should finish off a tank. They also need to fix the mini gun dropping ammo because mini guns f*ck tanks up. Also why not let the Lazer lock on to tanks? Buzzard isn't as much of an issue as the co pilot can rain down missiles from directly above the tank. Also they need to go back to charging tanks for blowing up player vehicles. Most tank users abuse blowing up player vehicles, just to grief and be assholes.

Ah, i was waiting for someone to do it because i don't know how

Nice job.

We forget the concept of this game . A game about buying, stealing, modding cars, while building your wealth and possessions.

 

It's grand theft Auto not grand theft artillery.

 

Yeah tanks aren't going to go away, that's kinda clear. But they should make them come with more of a price.

 

PV's are becoming just something to store in your garage. People are weary about bringing them out now because they know some clown in a tank is gonna blow it up and roll away laughing while you are left with a hefty insurance bill.

 

Tanks of Los Santos.

[MajorWhytey]

$250 per tank shell....sorted

[Gasmasks]

You know when a tank fires missiles right? Each of those damage the city. So there should be a bar with damage and a $ sign. Every time you fire a missile it adds up the total and if you die/get caught w/e then you have to pay for the damage that you did to the city. Makes sense and would level out the playing field.

 

OH and also, if you drive a tank outside on the roads, instant 5 star wanted level. It should be seen as a threat to national safety, which means the military come with Lazers and Cargobobs carrying their own tanks to shoot at the tank noob.

I think one of GTA V's radio commercials sums what I think about tanks up... just replace "weapon" with "tank".

Tank solution has already been handled by human evolution. If you refuse to use your three senses to avoid an obvious predator in a much faster vehicle, you deserve get tank killed.

 

If you won't go passive or off radar and leave the area after the first kill, you deserve to get spawn killed.

 

And I don't use a tank. I think I've been killed twice by a tank in like 15 or something days of playing.

 

The booms. The vibrations. The 50 billion cops freaking out.

[#UpgradeOrDie]

If it costs $250 for a sticky bomb or single grenade launcher ammo,

 

Then a total of 4 well placed hits on the weak spot of a undamaged 100% tank on the backside would cost $1000 to destroy just one. More if you flub your shots or aim on the protected front and sides (total of 8 explosions for a maximum - for any ,player wielded explosive weapons to destroy a tank, RPG, Sticky Bombs and Grenades).

 

 

While Pegasus owners can just simply replace their destroyed tank for only $250 with no cool down timer? Makes sense.

 

Not. Rockstar is dumb.

This site is an absolute goldmine when it comes to suggestions/discussions/problems, if they weren't stalking this out then they're a bunch of idiots..in other words they would be, whether they use it for their benefit is something we'll find out.

They really need to change the cost or create a cool down, tanks are easily one of the few under-priced items in the game. And without a hefty bad sport penalty, they are often used indiscriminately against personal vehicles; my poor Coquette was destroyed twice by two separate players in tanks, players that were presumably too broke to pay it's modest insurance fee, yet still possessed a tank.
