Heavy Tanks

[Intruder]

As we at PSU love to speculate and chat about new features..


Since our current tanks (mag,Prwl,van) are labled as "medium tanks" anyone have any speculation on common pool and race specific Heavy tanks.

I think they're going to be rolling meatshields, as we in EQ like to call them. Like how some people barricade entrances with sunderers, I think the heavy tank is just going to roll into a base, take a shit load of hammering and dish out damage as it veers out the back entrance.

I'm probably wrong but what can get much bigger than a vanguard or a sunderer? I'll be surprised when I see the first sketches of them though.

I invision a TR tank that has multiple turrets, maybe 2 turrets like the current tank, 1 anti veh 1 anti personel, and a 3rd turret something similar to a skyguards turret. 6 ppl tank.
Kind of like a mobile weapons platform. - actually looking at all the current tanks, all I can invision for a "heavy tank" is something similar to a mobile weapons platform.

I kinda imagine something as big as say a double wide sunderer capable of taking 2 or 3 times as much damage standing up to even Liberator bombs. Speed will suck and be hidiuosly slow but who cares. As long as you keep moving they can't OS you. 3 to 5 man crews equipt with counter measures, targeting and tragectory features. A deployed feature allowing you to use an external eq term. A self contained unit. This baby operates on NTU and must be recharged at a warpgate. Sanctuary purchases only because of the sheer size, power, and entertainment of seeing how far you can get one.

nc heavy tank be something like

2 150mm cannons (gunner 1)
(alt fire is firing one at a time. main fire is both at same time)

4 35mm set on top of 150 turret (gunner 2)

There will be no heavy tanks, if there are, they will be similar to the current tanks but with more armor and/or bigger guns. If I remember correctly the Prowler was (and may still be) classified as a heavy tank with it's 3-man crew.

Spoil all our fun we gotta do somethin while at work, and inventing imaginary heavy tanks is this threads attempt.
