DUST Search - Why tanking is fun

Jason Pearson wrote:

The tankers you meet.

Doesn't matter if you're a long term tanker or a newbie, every tanker I seem to meet seems so damned chilled and are cool in general. I've played with a lot of squads, but none of them are like a squad full of Tankers, seems we all love the idea of a Tank fight, we love competing with each other and hell, we even like to support each other.

When we fight each other, sure there is a little bitching and cussing but there's no need for rage mails, there's no need for gloating, we all know how much hurt we've inflicted in such a glorious victory.

I think Tankers need to squad up more, I don't mean one or two of us either, but squads of 4-6, rolling around even if it's not with 6 tanks, but supporting each other, we know how to play our play style, and these infantry scrubs who think they're helping aren't, they just want us to run in and kill everything, expecting us to not be solo'd, but tankers understand the problems, we make great support.

To more good times, and more good fights!

Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 140	Posted - 2013.08.25 03:33:00 - [8] - Quote I hate red tanks. But I get far more enjoyment in battling them in a tank of my own over beating them with a AV nade. Even got a mail about good driving in a 1 v 1 battle I lost. He got the drop on me in the open so I had to return fire on the move and while I mostly missed I was able to rep up the damage. Still had to get to real cover and made it to a ditch rather close to him. Eventually he pegged my turret a few times and got me but it was a good lil duel.
Void Echo Echo Galactic Industries 1052	Posted - 2013.08.25 03:35:00 - [9] - Quote I love squading up with other tankers, its extremely fun.. I love helping them survive and taking down enemy tanks with them. its the best thing I do now and the funnest thing I do now, were all friendly, we talk about the matters at hand, we joke around, we compete friendly wise to see who can get us an orbital strike faster. being in a tank squad is the friendliest place in this game. and its using teamwork to a fun advantage like the assaulters want us to use. everyone wins

I've seen you and your corp fielding prototype dropsuits such as the Caldari Logistics Dropsuit and dozens of LLAVs and still lose. PC is nothing. PC will never be important until CCP decides to add more of a benefit derived from it.
