Tank's speed needs a buff

[mykdisweak-%&879]

 

 

 

 

True.The kamikaze cops are already a pain because of the tank size and speed and moving trough the city is difficult.Add the jet griefers that now have lock on missiles(i mean wtf is with R neither a drunk person would have think of that) and we're fine.It costed 1.5 m and has no use.The insurgent pick up costs less but if you have skill you can hit and run without being killed.The only purpose of the tank is to kill and destroy(the only purpose because it has no speed it is an easy target and has less armor also than insurgent pick up which costed less and now one can shoot trough its armor without counting the several kamikaze cops).At least buffing its speed would give a tank better chance of evading jet griefers or like ithinkofonew said removing lock on to ground vehicles would be a good idea(for the homing launcher but also for jets).Literally 1 paid 1.5m for the tank which cant neither be used for missions due to it being slow a ss.Another idea would be to buff the explosion range of its cannon to the original state without buffing speed and armour so we have better chance to destroy jets with removing the aircraft air to ground lock on (but keeping it for helis because are easy target and for the homing launcher.

 

 

The amour needs a buff urgently. Unless you use the off radar Lester thing or people are semi conscious, or AFK, it serves no good purpose. The gun is good, but the armour is a bad joke. Run over some cars or a little explosive and the alarm is sounding. Make it not as strong as originally, but stronger than now. This old GTA feature is useless at present.

 

I'd say make it so the tank takes no damage from crushing cars, can't be locked on by the homing launcher, and (optional) can take an extra rpg or two. The old one was too much of a pain in my opinion. But what really messes it up now is the homing launcher and the kamikaze cops.

 

 

 

 

It is true that the tank is pretty underpowered against most other vehicles. But to make it balanced against jets, helicopters, etc., it'll be hard to keep it from being overpowered against people on foot. In my opinion, even if you're not prepared for a vehicle, you should always have some chance of fighting back while on foot.

 

Also, even when tanks had their full armour, jets still finished them quite quickly. I used to kill pre - nerf tanks with my Buzzard fairly regularly, and I nearly always won (though this was in the pre - homing launcher days of course).

 

Have any real tanks ever had flares? Might sound out of place, but why not? I still stick by most of my original suggestions (no damage for crushing cars, no homing launcher lock on, an extra rpg), but I suppose it could be given flares too. It could even have a missile detection system/the lock on beeping noise. Then with flares that have a cool down, you at least have a chance to get out of the way. If you didn't limit your time out in the open though, you'd have to wait too long for the flares and end up missile'd.

 

This way it wouldn't be a massive pain for people on foot like it used to be.

 

Edit: and let a second player use the smaller turret. Could be like the Insurgent gun.

.

Flares in tank?lol maybe its a good idea.Agree about the turret that should be controllable like that of the insurgent.

[.Vooodu.]

 

 

 

The problem is that tank is pretty much an offensive only vehicle(unlike the insurgent which is tactical also)

 

 

 

The insurgent has wheels and is easy to shoot players in.

 

Tanks speed is already fast. You will never be faster then a rocket.

 

Tanks are not designed for dog fights and extremely fast speeds. Thats why its called a TANK. They are slow and methodical. Just be happy you have unlimited ammo and the ability to call for a new one ASAP after it gets blown up.

 

Lol also insurgent and every aircraft of this game have unlimited ammo so?you can call the hydra every time (same as insurgent and every other aircraft you bought).Its a tank its slow and every other thing but it compensates them with explosion proof armor and firepower.The tank we have in gta has none of these advantages.Given the fact that its offensive only(the only thing that we have of the tank now is the cannon after armor nerf and we all know its slow)a buff of the blast radius of the cannon wouldnt be a bad idea or the speed buff so it can reach a speed of 60 mph to escape jets.

 

 

 

It already goes 60 mph+ and even if it could go 125 mph (max flat speed) jets would still catch the tank. The TANK is what it is. It can take 3-4 rockets, its bullet proof, it has unlimited shells.

 

Insurgent is not BULLET proof.

 

Tanks are meant to be slow.

 

Jets are faster then tanks.

 

Stop trying to dodge jets and RPGS with tanks.. If you want speed, GTA has all the speed you can handle from bikes to super cars. Get with it....

The Tank doesn't deserve a buff, this isn't Grand Theft Auto : World of Tanks. The game shouldn't be focused on avoiding Tanks or defending yourself 24/7 against them.

You can see a slow a ss tank icon heading towards you so its not a good excuse

Who cares about the icon? As you say, it's not a good excuse, even if you see that icon heading towards you, you have to avoid it and run away from it to not get blown up, it doesn't prevent you from getting chased by some squeaker thug.

...even when you are only having fun destroying police and minding your own bussiness.

 

You don't need to be in a public session to do that.

 

In my opinion, no. Tanks do not need to be faster. Extra speed would not stop jets and helis catching up to them. I apologise if this isn't the case, but from your posts it sounds like you're a twanker, and you're gutted that you can't use it to grief people because they have ways to fight back.

 

To that I say, tough. You're doing it wrong. If there are things out there better than a tank then go and use them instead.

[Gaffa]

 

It already goes 60 mph+

 

 

How many times do you need to be told the top speed is ~40mph? Do I need to break out the game files info?

Don't bother - as far as he's concerned, he's never wrong. You are literally wasting your time trying to talk to him rationally.

It should reach higher speeds for balancing purposes or at least as i have said in an another topic(unfortunately it has been locked) R should add NOS to it so you can escape police (also jets) more easily.

I completely disagree. A higher speed is not necessary, as it weighs literally metric f*cktons (thanks Deborah Morgan) so it would be ridiculous. And NOS would just be silly. We don't even have that available on any vehicles that it would logically be available to, so putting it on a tank is just plain wrong.

 

Sorry, but I'm not going to agree with you unless you can come up with a good reason that defies logic.

NOS... on tanks?

 

 

lol... As if that even makes sense. But hey, what the hell.

 

 

Might as well add chrome rims on tanks too..maybe some hydraulics too.. That way we can flip some switches when we kill some bitches... YO!

[Sky_Light12]

catepillar tracked vehicles are obviously slow , unless rhinos are " reincarnated " like 3D era , where they has wheel instead ( though , having same engine from insurgent means the tank would be vulneable aganist fires )

 

however , catepillar rhino has good traction ( especially reversing ) . strong vehicle often balanced by their speed while fast vehicle balanced by their durability

Agree it should be more customizable also.I mean wtf i cant even choose the color for my tank.

[FireBallz21]

Wait what? I just saw a thread talking about tanks with NOS. I thought it was locked.

It was - OP had already made this thread so the other was locked and they were told to use this instead.

[Mach1bud]

No.

[CMCSAVAGE]

Being able to customize the tank and add NOS....??? This thread really went downhill....

[PS-GTAIVplayer]

The speed is absolutely fine. The issue is that it was overly weakened in response to players have issued with griefers using them in free roam. A handful of kamikaze police cars cause it to smoke and the warning siren to sound. The armour is way too weak now. The tank is an old GTA feature, but now it not really viable. Up the armour a bit, maybe a lot on the front and less on the rear or sides.

Why not, i always dreamt of having a pink tank.Btw the customization is not the big issue but the speed of the tank which should be buffed to reach at least 60mph there are some tanks that can be fast like that in real world.40 mph is just too slow.Or maybe NOS to improve acc. and reach at least 55mph

[mykdisweak-%&879]

Sorry mistake with NOS it should be able to hit 100mph for giving it a fair chance to escape jets and police

But the real thing only has a maximum speed of 44 mph - if anything in this game, everything travels slower than it's real life counterpart, not faster.

Even in the tank went 60 mph, you still wouldn't be able to dodge a missile traveling at 10x that speed.

[mykdisweak-%&879]

 

You wont be able to Dodge HL missiles if you go straight(just like fighter jets) but theres definetaly a way to dodge them if you use the weakness of the Hl(weak cornering)which i use succesfully in a wide area where there are no buildings

You're off the wall. If you want crazy sh*t like a pink tank that can go from 40 to 100mph with a NOS boost, go play Saints Row:The Third. On second thought, don't. The next thing you'll be asking for is a Hotdog outfit and Genki Mobile

[SaltyGTAFMember]

NOS in a tank makes as much sense as a non cool down explosive rounds.....o wait!

[Crunch McThornbody]

the tank ain't a sports car dude.

 

[Ishbo_123]

Buffing the tank back to how it was...when it was OP. Is not a smart move.

 

 

 

Unless you really, really want to deal with squeakers in tanks 24/7, like back in the day.

Yeah but bro, can these squickers handle the power of an elite redditor and missile man? I think not. *tips fedora*

[Mithridates158]

 

 

increase speed and armor but reduce the turret speed

I agree, tanks in real life can reach 60 mph,

 

so ?

none of the vehicles in this game get to their top speed they have in real life, not even the fighter jet

 

Of course the Lazer doesn't lol. If it did, it would go over 1,000 mph. You would go from the bottom of the map to the top in less than 30 seconds easily

 

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!"

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 .

 

Lol at anyone who thinks tanks counter jets
