I know there are some people, generally those that like vehicles a lot, and/or people who normally don’t go positive in matches without them, and/or people that really like world of tanks which is a really good game, who really like the new “let’s airdrop tanks randomly into matches” concept, but I find it very frustrating.
For starters, tanks are very strong, and its almost impossible to avoid getting shot given their tremendous blast radius. Additionally, tanks are extremely…well…TANKY, and it takes forever to kill one, even when you do everything right like shoot off the hatch or treads first.
It always seems to drop the other team the tank too, which is toxic. I can’t tell you how many close games have been lost by me and friends lately because the enemy team got the tank airdropped right to them.
I’d far prefer a tank on each side with a long respawn timer, so that at least you can plan for this and control them like you do the wasps.
Its a big team battle match it needs tanks and plenty of them

I would agree if there were more ways to kill them. The Wraiths aren’t a problem, they move slower and aren’t as strong with every shot, and it seems like they take less damage. The scorpions however take forever to kill no matter what you seem to do to them, and whoever is in them gets like 30 kills before they die. Its not balanced at all.
It also doesn’t help that with the removal of the Splaser and the fact that grenades up the tail pipe aren’t OHK anymore, there aren’t a lot of hard counters to the tank that isn’t another tank.
We have the Skewer as the only true “anti-vehicle” weapon and last I checked it was a two hit kill on the Scorpion.
if you’re lucky its a two hit kill, it seems like it always takes more though
The strongest counter I’ve found actually is the repulsor. Bouncing the tank’s shot back at it seems to do more damage than anything else I’ve tried.
What I really, really, really, really just don’t understand is WHY there are random, asymmetrical tank spawns.
I’m patient with a lot of things when it comes to this game, but this situation is just generally unfair and breaks each match.
Especially in CTF or Total Control. If one team gets a tank and the other team doesn’t, it’s a guaranteed score for them - not earned. Pure luck, just like that…
