As the title was eluding to I'm not really feeling like the tank has as much weight as it appears. Don't get me wrong it's fun to drive and shoot but when you run over someone they take no damage. No I'm not saying I should intsa gib marines or anything. Nor am I saying I WANT to kill marines by accident. I'm just saying that it feels like Xenos just get a free pass from being run over. What do I mean, well.
I've on multiple occasions (attempted to) run over xenos both big and small, pushed them up against walls and sat on them. What did all of these have in common? They almost never died. Seriously. I parked a tank on a hive lord and it just said "nah nap time" and lived. Why? Why can this beast that is in no way gonna fit under the ground clearance of the tank gonna be fine when I sit on it for like a whole minute? It just feels odd. I can understand when I push a queen into a wall it won't gib instantly cause well it's the queen, but what about a burrower? A support caste. Why did they take no damage and scuttle away just cause my gunner couldn't hit the broad side of a barn? How come they weren't punished hard for getting caught in a fatal situation? They didn't even seem to be bothered since I heard nothing.
It makes me sad that I can't crush the xeno menace beneath my treads. It would make me happy to be able to crush the bugs especially since there is only one tank and it can't go everywhere. Either way, my point. I wanted to know what everyone else thought about this. Is it fine? Was there a reason for this in the past? I'm still kinda new so I have years of history and development to unravel here. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place. I don't use forums often so sorry if it's misplaced.
