Tank's speed needs a buff

[CMCSAVAGE]

Holy quote war Batman!

[smokingndriving]

No, it doesn't. It's slow AF already. Maybe it seems slow if your PV is an Asterope.

[mykdisweak-%&879]

U denied what u said.

[Retired Mafia]

what you just said makes absolutely no sense at all.

Yeah. Buff the speed but make it really unstable at cornering. So they flip over easy.

[Gridl0k]

It needs a sad trombone horn.

[yoloswag420xd]

Nah its good the way it is. I would hate having to relive the twanker days of having sh*tty 6 year olds go around killing everyone and then go passive as soon as you kill them, just to call in another tank and start the entire process all over again.... Plus its a tank not a lambo. I mean it would be easier now with all the new guns and stuff, but the squeakers always ruin the fun.

 

Squeakers used to be like: "OMFG LOOK AT MY KD OF 2.0 IM SO GOOD AT THIS GAME I KILL EVERYONE IN FREEMODE WITH MY TRUSTY TANK!!!" And as soon as you sniped them in their tank: "WTF HE KILLED ME IN MY TANK YOUR A HACKER! IM TELLING MY MOM!"

The tank needs a nerf.

 

Everything needs a nerf.

 

The creator of this topic needs to be nerfed.

Tank nerf helped jet griefing.The only countermeasure to jets were tanks bak in de days

Its ridikulous dat 1 strafing run can disable 1 tank now.Too easy. At least the speeds needs to be buffed to avoid dem .

[Chamber53DV]

I think that tank's acceleration and speed should be really buffed,with all these homing launchers and aircraft shooting at you(especially now that they have lock on to ground vehicles)even when you are only having fun destroying police and minding your own bussiness.What do you all think about that?

It's fine the way it is. Always be aware of your surroundings. If you're minding your own business, you should be able to see threats coming from a mile away. Unless you're just full of sh*t, and would like prolonged tank life to kill a few more folks.

 

ProTip: Adapt to the environment, don't ask for a crutch.

[paperbagdude]

 

We only need to have that paperthin armor restored back to its original state.

 

We have had that tank icon on the map for ages now, so there's no excuse for not avoiding them if you hate being shelled.

Yeah, how about jet guys

 

What the f*ck does jets have to do with this?

Have u read? I proposed only to buff speed not armor.Yea armor must be buffed in SP and maybe in MP(i dont think its important tho)

It's a damn tank what do you expect, You are either retarded or stupid or both, Tanks by design are slow.

Yeah. Why would you assume I'm talking about armor?

 

Keep your eye on your surroundings and know when it's time to either (1) move out, (2) get out of the tank, (3) go off radar, etc, etc, etc, etc. Welcome to freemode.

 

The tanks speed doesn't need to be "really buffed".

 

But, if you're going into a battle of dots and don't expect all dots to light you up with a homing launcher, rocket launcher, or Grenade launcher...that's on you.

 

Bottom line: I know it may sound harsh, but don't ask for a crutch for your shortcomings.

[Nutduster]

I wouldn't mind if they buffed the armor back to halfway between its current state and the original. I don't think it needs to be the punishment-eating machine it once was, but surviving a couple more explosions (and maybe one pass from a jet) seems reasonable.

 

Its speed is fine. Giving it speed akin to a car seems like trying to fix one problem by creating a new one. No thanks.

I only use tank to go on a police rampage or when i have a bounty. When i have a bounty yeah i go to Sandy shores airfield or los santos beach coz i know players will attak me and those places are big.But when i am going on a police rampage and it shoes tank icon i am an easy target to jets and due to jets (but also helis now due to lok on)being too fast i cant escape them for that i proposed to buff tanks speed so we can have a chance.

[DevilDaRebel]

 

No. Folks prefer a paper mache Tank over an actual Tank armor.

 

 

Reality says a real tank in real life can barely take one-two RPGs. So maybe players don't want to deal with 6 year olds in tanks that take 6 rpgs to blow up, just so they can go passive and run to a new one.

 

That is the reality of what a tank BUFF does. Weaker and cowardly player will simply all use it all the time, just like back in the day.

 

 

 

I mean, did anyone actually like dealing with squeakers in tanks 24/7? Or where most of you not around back then?

 

 

HAHAHAHAAHAHAA

 

PFFFTT f*ckING LMFAO. Dude, I can say with most guaranteed that you have no idea what the f*ck you are talking about. Period, don't make a fool of yourself and speak out of your ass. Modern tanks can take up to 7 RPG-7 hits and still not even make a dent. A tank for this example would be an M1a2 Abrams, and the Abrams is actually somewhat outdated on todays modern tank technology like on the leopard 2, or the Challenger 2. RPG are f*cking grenades with a high explosive warhead. Not anti-tank warheads that explode, penetrate the armor and then explode again once inside and ricochet fragments to kill the crew.

But you really don't need speed to avoid them. You could easily jump out of the tank and that disables the jets/'copters rockets from locking on to you.

 

You could go off radar once you see them coming towards you. And don't be afraid to use passive mode.

 

But you have to remember, when you're in Freemode...always check your "Expanded Map" every few seconds and keep tabs on all dots and how close they are to you. (FYI, in case you don't know, double tab Down on the D-Pad to expand the mini map; may have to tap it three times if you're in Current Gen with a lobby of 19 or more)

 

And if a jet is flying around in your proximity, stop your rampage and focus on what that jet is doing.

Yes true jet is one thing but homing launcher missiles another thing.A smart player who shoots at me with its rokets will have 70 % of chance to hit me even if im perfect at dodging them due to the tanks acceleration being too slow.A skillfull jet pilot will dodge the rockets 100% of the time if he has skill. Why dont reward the tank player if he has skill of dodging them by buffing the speed.

You don't dodge sh*t in a tank. You avoid sh*t...

 

You avoid putting yourself in a position where you can easily be blown to bits. Instead you are putting yourself in positions that make you an easy target and then trying to dodge it.

 

What you are doing is backwards. Just sayin'

Homing missiles can be dodged in a tank(in an open area not sayin using buildings as kover).Just they cant be dodged 100% of the time(not by homing launcher).For that speed buff is important(only acceleration btw top speed is not that relevant).

[mykdisweak-%&879]

Homing launcher can be dodged by tank in a wide area avere there are no buildings(cant be avoided if shot from the back tho)But the probability of dodging it is 70% if the player who shoots the missiles is smart and notices tanks weakness(poor acceleration) and shoots at the right time. For that a speed buff is needed (only acc top speed is not that relevant)

In my nearly two years of playing GTA almost every day. I've never seen any tank driver dodge anything.... EVER. You either kill 1st OR pray they took a poor shot.

 

And seriously.. HL is not even the best weapon for taking down tanks anyways. Why would someone need a lock on for a slow ass tank?

 

 

[iSaint9]

-Turret speed reduced

-Slower ROF

-Slower speed

-Double the armor it has now (or maybe triplicate it so it is tougher than the Insurgent, which makes sense IMO)

 

That's what a real tank handles like. It's ridiculous seeing tanks spin like it's a god damn bull in a rodeo.

Theres a way for the tank to dodge dodge homing launchers and rpgs.
