After playing this game for a while as a pilot and overall just avid gamer, this game really draws you into playing it. There isnt' any other game that is like planetside 2. However, this is the only game in my library that I actually get upset playing. No matter if i uninstall and come back months later, the problem is always the same that the games balance is all over the place. Bases made it even worse by introducing turrets with 4x the health of normal base turrets that you can deploy anywhere and make them into literal aimbots. You cannot destroy these bases without a dispraportionate amount of resources for tanks compared to how long it takes to build a base. It takes double to triple the population, all tanks and support, to destroy a base. For example, a base maintained by a single squad takes a platoon to destroy. But, bases are commonly built while population is low, and then when an alert comes, they're indestructible.

Not to mention, the construction system is pay to compete. Only those who pay, or save up a gigantic amount of certs ontop of everything else in the game, can make a decent base. But once they do, you can't do ♥♥♥♥ about it.

Overall, there's a reason sony sold this game. It was ♥♥♥♥♥♥, its become ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and though I want to keep coming back and play, I know that it'l just upset me more to do so.

"You can ignore tanks and aircraft" alrighty.

You can ignore tanks and aircraft, it's just much harder than not giving a hoot about any of the VP stuff.

Thats like saying you can just ignore tanks or aircraft. Bases generate VP. I ran into another base today that had a repair module and a hive under a shielded garage, with another garage covering the shield module. Also, it was right next to a boundary, so without a couple squads, we couldn't destroy it.

Or you can just completely ignore the construction system if you want to.
