Tank's speed needs a buff

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

 

 

 

 

 

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 Indeed...they never did...tanks were just also op and easier to get.A skilled tank person can blast the jet out of the sky. I did it one time after one guy missiled me from behind. You only need practise.If the pilot is equaly skilled he atacks you from a pretty steep angle were he is not able to be hit from.

Only an inexperienced pilot (or very unlucky one) would be downed by a tank. Those things can't fire at a particularly high angle, meaning that a jet is literally death from above.

 

As you say yourself, you did it "one time".

damn that must have been a jet noob attempting to destroy the tank with missiles...

 

tanks are gone after a simple cannon pass.

[Vino-G]

I think the only ridiculous thing is that it is less armoured and able to take rocket fire than the Insurgent, if they were balanced then it wouldn't seem so daft. Screw the speed, just make it as durable as the insurgent and allow a 2nd player to man that machine gun on the top and then it wouldn't be just another redundant vehicle.

[SmokesWithCigs]

if the armor is restored the spawning needs to be balanced as well. theres nothing worse than being respawned only a few feet away from a tank,especially in a deathmatch.

Yea the worst thing about jets is that the cannon is really OP.I swear its the most noobish weapon in GTA online(it doesnt take any skill at all)and now R added the lock on missiles.I mean, im ok that it has been added to hydras(as they are difficult to manoveur and strafing is harder) but it definetely should be removed from lazers.Also what is that bs about cars exploding from rhinos on impact R should change it also.

jet cannon is noobish and doesnt take skill? haha

 

i had the same perception about the jet cannon, then i became a jetgriefer and realized how hard actually is todo a cannon pass without missing the target a 100 times.

 

looks easy but is not.

Maybe it is not easy on hydra, but trust me, its easy on lazers.I have been an hydra griefer myself for 1 month(to increase KD ratio and because is much easier to get if you crash),and havent touched the lazer within this period of time.When i finally wanted to test the lazer after so much time i realized how OP it was,you can go twice as low as the hydra without the fear of crashing and its agile as fu*k.Those things i can accept but not the thing that it has homing rockets against ground vehicles.R should either remove its homing systems or replace its OP cannon with a non explosive gun.Its an air to air combat vehicle, not air to ground.

I agree, tank's speed should be buffed a little bit to give its users a chance to escape cop cars and jet griefers.

So what about every single vehicle that's currently slower than a tank? Should we put a turret on the golf cart?

 

Just play the game and quit whinging, especially if you're (all of you) whinging about the speed of a bloody fully armed tank. If you can't stay alive in one then boo f*cking hoo. Most tankers I've met are too stupid to notice "Gridl0k is off the radar" appeared the same time as that guy in an Issi throwing stickies at the back of them.

May i remind you that a golf cart doesnt cost 1.5 fu*kin milion dollars.

And the tank is not even fully armored.

I've got a 10 million dollar unarmed plane I can't even use Passive Mode in. Your tears are delicious.

Tank speed needs a buff

 

Tank armour needs a buff

 

Tank icon needs a nerf

 

The tank is classic GTA but it's the joke of free roam, like an 80 year old wrestler, or a tiger with no legs

That unarmed plane isnt supposed to attack ANYONE!!!!Like you said its unarmed.The tank, on the other hand, is an armed vehicle but its not even enough good to attack anyone (thanks to its cannon explosion splash radius nerf).So some sort of countermeasures wouldnt be that bad to be implemented by R*(speed to have a better evading system, or armor buff or flares).

[..GhosT]

Considering how ridiculously fast the insurgent is.. either give the tank a speed buff or swap their health stats.

The real life Insurgent will easily do 120-130mph (although it would be.. fun) and a tank (Challenger say) tops out at about 65, basically only on tarmac and only if you didn't want to use that road again afterwards. So, yeah, what?

 

As for complaining the tank isn't lethal enough, jesus, you must suck at the game. Most of the time when I swat a tank it's killed 5-10 blueberries already because they're either on foot or driving.

The real life insurgent can be considered lucky if it even survives 2 grenade launchers, in GTA online it survives more rpgs than a fu*kin tank(even more if there are multiple players insidie) so your logic is astoundishingly half minded. Edited November 6, 2015 by GitGudDontGetRekt

You can have smoke dispensers, that'd be balanced (and fun). Some pretty flares might be nice too I guess.

 

And yeah I agree the Insurgent is very well armoured but how that relates to making the tank faster, I'm not sure. Are you saying that you die a lot in a tank, but wish you could steamroll the whole lobby like back in the day?

Edited November 6, 2015 by Gridl0k

[nargris]

One slight change I would like to see would be vehicles not exploding when you run over them and just deform instead.

 

This would mean the tank takes less damage roaming about and survives longer.

[Retroview1955]

Tanks are suppose to be slow and deadly. I'm pissed off because the Insurgents have thicker armor than the tank does. Jets can destroy a tank in one dive bomb attack and cops can blow it up very easily! How lame is that?! If you know how to shoot, the Insurgent pickup will be far more sufficient for your jet extermination needs. You can shoot the jet down before they can even setup to dive at you, especially if you are in the city where there are a lot of buildings. Jets will basically be a flying target and they can't dive at you and if they do, the Insurgent Pickup is fast enough to abruptly turn and they probably crash into a building.

Back then, you couldnt do anything against tanks.

 

Now you have a Rank 0 rocket launcher and a bunch of armed vehicles helping you with that.

 

Why use a tank when the insurgent does so much better even without a cannon?

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Rather see the gun on the jets nerfed instead.

maybe the tank shoud survive more cars when it drives over them, thats it.

it still costs enough to destroy a tank.

 

also i have noticed most tank drivers realy have their own to blame when being exploded.

 

currently you do not take out a tank when a jet is flying in the session, you go and find some shelter when someone is told to be off radar and you watch youre suroundings... and if you can, get out when youre tank gets damaged or kill youreself.

 

i have noticed most people do none of those things.

i saw quite some situations were a guy goes off radar, gets with a random car to the tank, plants 3 stickies and drives off just like that before destroying the thing.

Lol right after heists some dude thought he was smart running for the theater spawn point off the radar but I knew What he was doing so I sped over there in my insurgent, took a couple direct hits from the tank cannon stickied his tank and he left

[Ruslan Mashinov]

Lets be honest, the current speed is a perfect representation of the speed a tank usually goes at in reality. There's no need to make it faster as it is fast enough for pretty much most if not all situations that you'll get into.

What we need is the bloody armor to be restored to what it was rather then making the tank a worm that can be f*cked by two-three rpg rockets. The damn insurgent can handle more than the tank.. come on.. Bringing back the armor would honestly make the tank way more useful and fun in situations such as cop chases or even tank on tank battles.

 

Oh and, if the insurgent has thicker armor than the tank, then they must've fitted a f*cking hot tub in there and made the armor as thin as paper.

No.

Exactly this..

 

The jets ability to rain down non stop exploding rounds has never made any sense. No wonder its the go to troll vehicle in the game.

 

The tank.. Well, vehicles should not be exploding everytime the tank drives over it. They should just get deformed at the very least.

 

But.. like i always say. The real problem with this game is the always on blip system.

 

Jet trolls rely on one thing only .. BLIPS. The blip system is what makes the jets so easy to use.

 

Tanks suffer from the always on blip system because you can always see them on the mini map. Theres no element of surprise unless you have a bounty which nulls the tank blip. But still.. the blips.

Snipers usually post up in places where they can easily see players due to their blip locations. Well the roof top snipers anyways.

 

 

 

But the reality is. Without always on blips Jets trolls would be flying blind most the time due to the fact that they don;t have everyone locations being gift wrapped by always on blips. And players in tanks could traverse the ground with less fear of being instantly targeted.

True.

[grand theft spaghetti]

restore the tank to its former glory.

 

with the way the jets work there is no reason not to. people buy the garage next to the base. ramp over the fence for a jet and find a new session to repeat the process if they get shot down.
