So, with the increased render distance for infantry

Some damage drop of on tank shells might be in order. . .

I bet those tanks are really useful.

If my predictions are correct, Ti Alloys should fall any moment now.
Any moment...

The bridge is better

uhm... tank damage IS getting nerfed against infantry.

Read GU04 patch notes before you make pointless threads.

OH, even more, next week the ES RL's come out providing even more long range options for infantry to fight against tanks.

Also... complaining that people can see enemy within LoS must be one of the most ridiculous complaints I've ever seen. Render distance is a bug fix ffs.

Its okay. Any second now a fleet of prowlers will crest the south ridge near Crossroads Watchtower and railgun those magriders into oblivion.

Tanks do get damage drop off.
On the other side of the render distance.

Why would an explosive shell have damage drop off? The only thing a shell should realistically lose at range is penetration capability. Plus, The Crown is one of the only places you can pull off those shenanigans anyway. I'd call it more of an issue with The Crown.

Last I checked, the magrider doesn't fire shells.

So this is really a Magrider nerf?

Yes. It is a Magrider nerf. It has nothing to do with the fact that Rasczak was pointing out the fact that magriders shoot plasma and not explosive shells. Not at all. Continue as you were. /sarcasm

I actually got into that line at the crown today in a lightning. Then somebody tried squeezing in beside me and blew us both up

And for the purposes of the game, they behave the same way as tank shells. What's your point?

don't nerf it one of my favourite things to-do is sneak into their base hack that cannon behind them and kill them all before they know where its coming from lol

theres potentially over 2000 xp right there ??

HE is getting a nerf. They are reducing the blast radius.

no

Tank's doing nothing productive or helpful apart from trying to stat pad ... Shocker !!!!!

Wonder if they will still do that after the introduction of Cam guided launchers .. but guess they will complain " OMG We can't sit here no more "

I tried it last night, I got 36 kills in around 25 minutes with a HE lightning.
All of the people I killed were BR10 or under.

It made me realize there is a metagame in PS2, if you keep killing low BR soldiers of the other factions with complete cheese like this they will probably quit and they lose a soldier.

They are there already, but they are too busy shooting all the infantry at the bridge towards Ti alloys to care about the tank camp.

I'm not complaining about the increased render distance, I'm loving it, just bringing up a new balance issue that arise because of it

Because balance > realism

Also, nanites

I love tank zergs like that.

It's uber xp for an ammo sundy.

Wait till the friendly sunderer comes up and starts pushing all those off the cliff. WHEEEEEE!!!!
