Colossus Tank: What that gun in the tech plant is for

1 per large outfit would be more reasonable, and I think 3 years is a bit much if the developers actually get their act together. That being said this thing is at the end of the totem pole in terms of importance of it being in game, but it's still fun to talk about regardless.

Giving restrictions to something to make up for it being overpowered is what killed Planetside 1. BFR were originally nigh invulnerable, packed way too much firepower... And the mitigating factor was the long timer to get another. Furthermore, 1 tank out of a full 48 man platoon means most people wont get the chance to be part of the experience. Such jealousy would cause people to rage quit the game.

Power like that can't be justified.

Not fair we should get faction lightnings or if the harasser versions going too take that spot I don't know I really wish they would tell us ideas they have for vehicles as concept I just want to hope.

lol seriously ?... This should have been the prowler.

I'd rather they freaking try. How are they going to get good at it if they never attempt it? Besides, all they need to do is put the damn things on the PTS for a few weeks before they release it (ARE WE LEARNING YET, SOE?) and then listen to the feedback (ARE WE LEARNING?) that people have before moving it to live (LEARN, DAMMIT!).

Well if power is the issue what would you propose for the firepower? I think the secondary gunner slots would be awesome and promote more teamwork.

1 driver(with no weapon), 1 main cannon gunner, 2 secondary gunners. The actual power of these weapons couldn't be so quickly determined.
It would need to retain its vulnerability to infantry AV weapons including the Mana turrets - It would need large amounts of armor.

C4 immunity because we all know it'd die in 2 bricks, leaving an encounter with one of these very anti-climactic. Or people would switch to their engineer alt and toss 4 C4 on it as a "friendly" just to take it off the battlefield...

I can see this more as an outfit special that has to be managed by 4-6 throwing numbers around and the resources from the same amount from each person as a group effort.

Now the realistic version of this on live. EVERY ******* ENEMY WILL POUNCE ON THIS LONE TANK FOR THE THRILLS AND WHO CAN GET THE FIRST BLOOD ON IT.

Don't kid yourselves none of you are afraid of this if the concept of it's size is real this is pretty much setting yourself and your team up for the slaughter when every gun wants to take a stab at your baby.

Just think of the Vulcans.

This does not look like a heavy tank, but like a construction machine with a big gun on it.

Just think of the Enforcer ML85's.....

That kid is probably holding a stick of C4. Also, the tank's main gun isn't aimed directly on the kid, it's going to miss and do 0 damage.

This is the sad state of tanks in this game right now.

While I agree about the sad state of tanks you're forgetting about something in regards to that picture. That kid isn't wearing flak armor, that tank has a single turret and a large profile so it's a Vanguard, the splash damage from the HEAT round will OHK him, and the Vanguard will pop the shield fully absorbing the damage from that single stick of C4.

But... It's a video game - Because SOE doesn't want a be known as the company with THE "Massively Multi-player Online Child Murderer Simulator" (MMOCMS) the child is completely immune to damage.

Edit: That's not his only brick of C-4 either.

I would only agree to a double barrel NS main battle tank if the Tr had access to a single barrel alternative.

Otherwise the other factions get the same benefit of the prowlers double barrels while the Tr simple get a slight upgrade.

God what I would do to be able to one shot ESFs with my turret

I'll trade you my ability to 1 shot ESF's... If you accept that it comes with doing the lowest DPS... By a large margin...

Well, they already said the -next- vehicle will be the empire specific APC, the Thresher, deliverer, and the other one.

I doubt its any bigger than current MBTs, probably just an NS MBT if anything, otherwise i just see it as a deathtrap cause everyone is going to shoot at that giant slow moving cert pinata.

Lol, they will be magnets for those things. Big targets wont last long in this game......it will be

Spawn NS SUper Heavy and before your off the spawn pad beep beep beep beep....blam blam, slam, ping, plink, blam, kablam.....
