Just played a game with Ted Nugget of SVER.

Redline sniping...okay, i see that coming from a mile away from tanks.

Decides to stop redline sniping, switch to missile tank.

I switch to proto Ishukone FG with prof 5.

8 Forge gun hits later....hes chugging along, with full health a few seconds afterwards....as if i didn't exist.

Yea....tanks seriously need a buff.

Ass holes.

You must have missed. I've 3-shotted Ted's HAV a couple times.

well... hes obviously NOT a scrub tanker, we all know that now lol

by the rate of things, nobody new will want to spec into tanks because its still the most hated and nerfed class in the game.

What's up with the Corp. name?

its my mercenary tanker corp.

but seriously, that's what you got from my post?

were you on a high tower overelooking teh entire battlefield outside his rendering range with an ammo hive at your feet?


aka forcing him to sit in a corner immobile behind a rock all game while your invisable and invulnerable to all weapons fire?


if not you were doing it wrong, and you have no idea why theres an imbalance in the tank/AV/infantry equasion


see thread for details

its easy to 3 shot someone low on health.

it took me 5 FG hits (kinda hard to miss the reticle dictating a hit, as well as the shield being depleted), just to take out ted nuggets shield, the other 3 almost killed him, he dipped behind a dune....he comes back out a minute later will full HP.

Pretty easy to keep track of hits when your sole target is one tanker for 15 minutes.

? Interesting.

and that's impressive to you?

HAHA simple minded.

it might have been help on his side to keep him alive from your over sized heavy sniper

I can only lol at you.

and why is that?

ah so your one of those scrubs i have heard of so much about

You didn't read my post.

It's okay though, you were going to comment without reading anyways.

Not impressive in the slightest...but when tanks say they are so underpowered in takes a single FG clip from an assault to pop em....

Instances like these tend to tell a different story.

i read it.

you went up against one of the best tankers int he game who has thrived in an environment that is heavily screwed against him.

you are NOT the best forge gunner in the game. and yet you still managed to mess him up pretty good despite having no real knowledge of the mechanics involved. if you DID understand the mechanics involved he would of been rendered immobile.


so, now care to anwser my question?

Alright, ill humour you.

No, i wasn't on a tower...because i didn't say i was on a tower.

No, i wasn't forcing him into a corner...he decided to stop redline tanking and come in the open. Like i stated.

My post wasn't meant to dictate AV philosophies, and it wasn't mean to promote strategies.

I simply stated the fact that tanks aren't as weak as so many tankers make themselves out to be, and wanting a buff from it.

Whatever else you took from my post, its an opinion of your accord.

so, you took 8 shots in 15 minutes?

that's not even one a minute. MY tank could survive that, and I'm ONLY 8mil into speccing.

well if you were on a tower or other suitable position, just outside his rendering distance you would have NUKED HIM OFF THE PLANET, with no available recourse. and he wouldnt of even known where you were.

so when we say fix tanks, we are referancing infantrys ability to abuse rendering to make vehicles obsolete


so you QQ about tank effectivness is based off you not useing the tools available for you to kill them, not because they are unkillable.


aka you couldnt kill him because you suck, not because tanks are fine and AV/tank balance is ok

And a single tank dictating the entire flow of the battlefield, because i was the sole AVer trying to take him out....ISN'T game breaking as well?
