BF3 1v1 Tank Ladder

Hello,

Could you create a 1on1 Tank Ladder ?

Tanking sucks in this game... not much skill is needed. It's all about uber unlocks

Ladder without unlocks. Just skill.

Doesn't matter anyways. I beleive you need a minimum of 4 players to start a ranked server to avoid stat padding. So it would have to be on a unlocked unranked server. So that means all unlocks for both parties. Problem fixed, fair game.

Which unlock aims for you...?

We are looking into additional ladders soon.

"fire & forget" guided shell?

homing missiles?

thermal?

long range scope?



Need I say more? Want a real challenge? Try 1v1ing/2v2ing in bf1942.. sure it's ancient by now, but I guarantee it will be more fun and takes a lot more skill.

Most of these guys don't understand, since they're simply too new.



At least I have Skyrim to waste my time

I don't have the game yet but a little strategy should make the competition fun even with no skill needed (I doubt no skill will be needed though).

This is really the only valid example of "something aiming for you", and while I haven't really used them much myself, they seem somewhat easily dodged, but they do seem to have a higher hit % than the javelins. I would assume a 1v1 ladder would ban this weapon from competitive play.

The MBT only has the one missle unlock that I know of, unless you're referring to Javelins, but I thought we were talking tank vs. tank.

thermal?

Definitely doesn't aim for you, and it's much more balanced than the IRNV. Provided both people can use thermal, I see no balance issue.

Originally posted by: iakalaM?

long range scope?

Again, doesn't aim for you, and definitely has a learning curve considering it has such a restrictive POV.

'42 definitely took the most skill from an aiming perspective, that goes without saying, but it was also a very simple setup. It could be argued BF3 actually takes a little more *overall* skill tank vs. tank because there is more to manage, as well as the addition of unlocks adding an uncertainty to who wins a 1vs1.

In '42/DC, using an very generic example, in your average tank battle whoever got off the first shot was usually going to win since it was basically a numbers game, x number of shots kills tank. In BF3 the addition of unlocks makes the tank battles more interesting IMHO, since there are more variables than just trading shells back and forth.

I've been on the site 9 months longer than you And I think I was even admin of the DC tank ladder briefly at some point.

2v2 DC tank ladder was a lot of fun, since I played '42/DC at a 10:90 ratio I sucked at the '42 tank ladder, it undeniable had some very skilled players on it, as did the DC ladder.

I knew this would degrade into a 1942 tank circle jerk again

Crank up bruce springsteens "Glory Days" on your headset and head over to the TWL forums to let people know bout how cool tanking used to be...

How many unlocks would be truly useful in a 1v1 ladder? Reactive armor, guided shell, maybe camo and thermal. After that, it's all a numbers game of who landed more shots. In older games, shitty players could land 1/5 shots on a tank from medium to long distance while the top players were hitting your treads from the fog, dropping your health to 30% and you couldn't even see them. How difficult can it be to just count the amount of remaining shots you have to put into someone to win?

BF3 "Numbers game" 1v1 tank strategy:
Step 1: Equip reactive armor
Step 2: Sneakily play until you find enemy tank
Step 3: Face the front of your tank towards player
Step 4: Shoot enemy tank
Step 5: Enemy shoots you
Step 6: Repeat a few times
Step 7: You win! Because your reactive armor enabled you to take one more hit, when in other games if you were any good you could of killed them by now.

You can't unlock the ability to tread shot another tank from fog distance in those games. Being good wasn't some magical thing you unlocked after 14 hours of play.

Let me jump in the air and yell yippee fucking doo! First, I wasn't calling you out individually on that. Second, when does being registered 9 months mean anything? OGL? Hello?

Oh, and you "think" you were the admin? Did you even really play those ladders? I did for a long time - including the 5v5 tank ladder that existed for '42 - and I didn't lose a single match.

I've been playing Battlefield since the first game was released. Anyone that says they were good at 1942 are probably bad at BF3 because it was so easy.

amazing

why is someone that was pro at '42 now playing rimjob? ohh wait thats probably because your no longer pro player or maybe it's because there are better people out there so lets shit on those that are better. if they want a 1v1 tank ladder let them have it. if you dont like tanks in bf3 keep playing rimjob. problem solved.

But if he's playing rimjib, why do you get to play asshat?

I'll start suckin dicks if you guys don't shut up.

I just asked if we could create a ladder... I did not want to launch such a debate about BF3... Concerning that ladder I suggest not to allow tank's upgrade. Finally only skills will mater. So what do we do ?

You mentioned tank in your thread

Its like kicking the beehive of old bf tankers - they cant help themselves

I'm an "old bf tanker" and these threads annoy me. Of course tanking in 42 was better, but that doesn't need to be brought up over and over. As for this game, 2v2 tanking might be fun on the larger maps like firestorm. 1v1 tanking would be rather retarded.

Malakai's just mad cause he's a baddie at BF3.

I think there's potential to make 2v2 or 1v1 tanking work in BF3, I just wish there was a front tread shot and some more damage variation. Sure BF3 tanking may be more viable than some people think, but the fact that there aren't tread shots or better damage variation is indeed pretty lame and definitely detracts from how interesting tank dueling becomes.

Locked.
