Saving up for a frost?

[jonjon]

jonjon perhaps your whole arguement is too well articulated and poinent so much so that you don't even see how fundamentally ridiculous it is?

all you're saying is that the frost tank is a good tank all around in most situations, so it's more of a safe choice that requires not too much thinking or even more than a basic knowledge of how all the other tanks works to be effective with it. you're argument seems to try to say that it's never too bad of a choice, although, if the other team had a lot of hunters and goblin tanks i'd think about getting sky tank then sky fort instead of frost, but at least one per team is a pretty good thing though, exp with a power pack so it can take a lot of damage before it has to die or retreat and leave the team without the benefit of its slow aura.

Even if the other team had "a lot of hunters and goblin tanks", the Frost tank isn't a bad choice. But why are you suggesting that it takes that many to beat a Frost tank as if it has to come to that scenario for you to choose Sky?
My argument is simple. It's not about Frost being an overused tank. It's about other tanks not being used at all. There are 24 tanks. Let's not skip to the 20th tank at (what it seems to be currently on Normal Mode) the 20 minute mark. On 5k HB mode I believe it's 15 with a full set of Ice Cannons (could be quicker now). Although I haven't played on US West recently. I can't find the Aussie bot around.

On a related note, I was glad when they put the armor restriction on Infernal (a few dozen versions ago) because everybody started saving for that instead. A full built Sky Tank couldn't do shit to an Infernal with nothing. You could sell all your weapons, hulls and your tank for an Infernal. Gain all your weapons back easily with multikills from your special. It was only 15k as well lol.

What you suggested about a dynamic armor requirement would be a nice idea. Make people do the research on what is available. I'm all for that.
