That should be rule #1. Tankers want to pretend like they're invulnerable death machines, but tanks are SUPPORT VEHICLES. They're ment to support infantry. And when they lose the infantry they're supporting, they're going to get wrecked.
You know what the easiest way to stop someone with AV from killing you is? Have the infantry members around you take him out. |

There is your problem right there. You're looking for competent support in pub matches, which is really, really rare.
The lack of competent tank support in pub matches is balanced by the fact that the people shooting your tank will only rarely have people working with them to make sure you blow up. Of course, every once in a while you'll run into a corp with decent AVers who will work together to take you out, and it works. Because you don't have people working with you to keep you safe. |

A 500k isk tank is trash, especially in a game with such poor match making. You're going up against adv and proto AV in a militia level tank. Play against people at your own fitting level and it will be a different story; a story where it takes people coordinating together to beat you.
Or, alternatively, work with a squad that keeps people around your tank who work to pick off people bringing AV onto the field. |

it needs to be redisigned; the balance i mean. tanks should ALWAYS lose to Av TEAMs in urban environments, but never lose in open areas. in big open areas, infantry should support tanks, and vise-versa.
The thing is, we don't have big enough open areas for such a shift of power to take place. There is always a small hill or rise I can hide behind as infantry to sneak up on you and gank you with grenades. It's not a problem with the vehicle balance, so much as it's a problem with the maps themselves. That's why you always need infantry supporting you and watching your blind spots instead of trying to run solo as a killing machine. |
