More air tanks needed... also lag issues [CLICK HERE]

[jonjon]

but that proves the point again, it needs decent weapon to make it worthwhile

the other tanks you don't need weapon, and you can still kill with pure skills, most people save up for good weapon and start off with no weapons

but using air tank, you can't really do that, using any of the skills will not get you any kill, nor help you creep until you get a good weapon.

and when you do save up for a good weapon, other people are already way ahead of the game with more powerful weapons and more HP than you.

air ship 4500 + teleport 3000 + decent weapon average 5000 ~ 6000 = you are at least level 10 by now, anyone at lvl 10 would already have much better stuff than you have specially the long range noobs, at this time they will have at least 4 to 5 range 1300 weapons stacked with a steel hull if not gold if they are richer.

... not really feasible.

at that price tag i still prefer the lighting tank combo better, cheaper, more kills, better creeping, and it does a much better job at stun + teleport + melee specially with poison or anything short range of your linking
LT 4000 + 3000 TP + 5000~6000 weapon

Your forget that mobility of airship make you able to dodge skill, dodge weapon, easy cover allied tank, easy cp , ability to switch lane easily without using telep.

I would be saying the same thing too but I know it doesn't work unless you're ahead of the weapons race. Not in a pro 5v5. It could be different for the official servers because of varied latency, forcing many to play longer range and with speed (equals Air Ship). Playing on BA means < 100 ping time (where melee is better).

Also what you're saying brings us back to a full circle. A Helicopter and a gold hull can do the same thing. And I say Gold Hull instead of Steel Hull (Upgrade) because 4500 & 5000 is closer as opposed to 3750 & 4500. Like I said earlier... Heli + Gold Hull beats Air Ship all the time.
