AV grenades dominate tanks cause most tank drivers are just bad and tunnelvisioning around the map with bad fits. they think they are invulnerable, go rambo and usually end up surrounded by a handful of suits tossing AV grenades at the tank resulting in a pretty explosion. a single guy using AV grenades will never bring down a properly fit tank and at most tickle a properly fit and properly driven tank.
truth is, even armor tanks can take alot of punishment from AV grenades and Swarms when driven correctly. I have specced in swarms and AV grenades from the beginning and while the time passes more and more competent and maxxed out tank drivers appear in game. there are armor tank drivers that I cannot take down solo with my proto AV simply because they dont let me and no, they are not redlining, they are simply not brainded and dont camp a single spot standing still while mods are on cooldown. if you overextend while your mods are on cooldown, sit still for 15minutes and then get caught then your tank blowed up because you just did an error not because AV grenades are too stronk. |

I see a pattern here. scrubs QQ they get killed because they rambo into a squad full of proto AV.
I have proto swarms with dmg mods and AV nades. I have met plenty of tanks that I cant solo because they cycle they driver cycles his mods, repairs enough HP between each volley and simply does stop moving (they were not shield tanked ones). |

the pattern is too obvious. tank drivers are just whining because they cant solo whole squads with their toy because they use their tanks as bulldozer instead of using it properly. tank is several times as fast as a dropsuit and they have range advantage but all the whiny tank drivers usually sit on top of the enemy squad and are not moving at all thinking they should not die. afterwards they cry because 10 AV grenades get tossed at them, who would guess that would happen, right?
also why should a tank be able to solo anything? as long as a tank does not require several people to be used properly a single AV guy should have atleast a decent chance of keeping a tank at bay and not allow him to move around freely which is currently the case.
this is not rocket sience but simple common sense, as soon as you need more than one guy to keep a tank at bay it turns into a game where the team with more tanks win. if one tank requires atleast 2 players to have a single tank under control it would mean that the team with more tanks have numbers advantage in firepower on the ground because they need less dedicated AV and less AV on the team means more firepower on the frontline. this would sooner or later result in everyone sitting in tanks. if you want that go play world of tanks.
and it is a fact that properly fit and driven tanks cannot be soloed by AV grenades and swarms. forge guns sitting on rooftop is a different story though. |
