If only there was another way to switch to AV....

as i said, i dont blow em up until later when my team has proven they are a bunch of fucknuts. i enjoy no av spam more than i enjoy a tiny bit of armor regen.

also, I am not other tankers. unfortunately, some people are just bad or greedy for points, but hey i guess we will have to work together here. I wont blow those supply depots up but your gonna have to put that redline sniper rifle away to come down and hack it......dang.....

looks like ill just keep blowin em up

edit: by "you" i am not referring specifically to you jiraiya....tryin to watch my tone of voice

But how often do you see blueberries actually snipe the AV guys in a match? How often do you see blueberries put up a good fight once multiple tanks show up on the battle field, if nobody on the team has proto AV that can solo them? No very often yeah? So it comes down to hoping your blueberries do something smart and risk 2.2 mil, or take out the depot that is ALREADY RED (with no clear push by your team to take it back) and have fewer threats to deal with. Not to mention a hostile tank can sit next to said supply depot and gain the advantage of armor reps. Tell me, which of these seems more appropriate in the situation I presented, which more often than not is the situation in games? Most vet tankers are much smarter than you give credit to, and the thought process is not "lol lets get 50 WP." Instead its "given the circumstances of the battle is it more beneficial to my team to take out this structure?" Consider this- If the enemy has to remain in the suit they spawn, wouldn't it actually help the team if they were locked into an AV role to bust up the tank? Wouldn't that mean the infantry could rush in and only have to face a group of guys with swarm launchers in hand?
The issue is that nobody thinks that far, as seen by your posts on the forums, and takes advantage of what the smart tankers are trying to do for you. I don't expect you take take what I said well because I'm not running around with an AR, so let the trolling begin.

And when they do, the tankers will be immediately on the forums calling for the removal of militia swarms.

Well there is... dying. And that's the point of taking out supply depots, AV will then have to sacrifice their current fit so they can actually select their AV fit. And even then, once they are in AV, that means they can't go back to infantry so easy, so they will die again. It makes things pretty difficult and frustrating for AV honestly, and I love that as a DS pilot.

think again, were getting every aspect of tanks nerfed in 1.5 and when its all over, tanks will not be what we can recognize.

Sure, we get it. You rock. You're the Chuck Norris of Dust. We all suck and are lucky to have you on our team.

I've actually heard tankers on my teamchat saying things exactly like "yeah! Easy wp" as they proceed to blow up every neutral supply depot and turret on the friendlies side of the field and then go on to hide in the hills the rest of the map. This is who this thread and these posts are directed at. You are an exception to this if what you say is true and I am an exception to most people's views on infantry, meaning I actually try to help my team and be as big a pain in the ass to the enemy as possible.

Just the other day I hacked a rail gun turret, killed two tanks, one and a half (assist) dropships and all enemy red zone turrets in about two minutes, body-shot ohk'd seven infantry before they blew the turret up, saw a tank on the hill exactly on the redline, went up to it, saw it was empty w two snipers in the redzone, killed them both with my smg, hacked the tank, blew up ANOTHER of their tanks with their own tank, and took out two more active red railguns before someone proto-raped the tank and finally gave me my first death. (Was standing too close when it blew and was only wearing a militia scout suit). While such a good streak is not common it would have been a LOT harder without the turret and the supply depot I used to switch my armour out.

So in summation yes, it can be a good idea to take out turrets and depots but please at least wait until it actuly looks like they will be of no more use to your team.

Lmao some of you tankers are just silly.

You state how blueberries so rarely have proto AV. But the most common tanker complaint "my tank is UP Cuz everybody has proto AV!". lol, so which is it? Cmon guys stick with your story!

I destroy each and every neutral/red installation (including CRUs) immediately and I don't care about you infantry guys. Tankers will take care for you.
Just do your stupid hacking, shooting stuff.

at least you understand

Your story is justification for some of the less capable tankers to destroy turrets. Without a SIGNIFICANT amount of SP invested, the tanker understands that its too risky to let an installation with a good vantage point live, especially when there isnt a blue presence nearby it, because the tanker probably understands that people like you are capable of miracles with it under their control. Alot of the time I'll bet its the people pulling a militia tank that go for this, too. Militia tank often means no little or no SP into vehicles, which translates into either new tanker or assault guy (thats your infantry friends that have been crying recently :\) in the driver seat. As an open invitation to all infantry and AV who want to try playing with real tankers, visit 'Honey Badger' chat. If you guys join up and are actually interested in using combined arms, teamwork, and communication to dominate the enemy by all means form some squads!

We don't want people switching to their Av

So I'm Sorry

if easy mode means worrying every match of if your going to survive against 100+ things that can go at you any time and playing 10 matches just to break even, then yes its easy mode

Several words: Start contributing to the fight instead of ******* everyone over by destroying depots.

Now that's a contradiction: if you shoot everything, there's nothing for us "infantry guys" to hack. So apparently tankers don't take care of us that well. That confirms my experience: tanks are never there where I need them to be.

But that's OK - like I need them anyways.

Damn, I had no idea there were 95 other AV options on top of Grenade, Forge guns, plasma cannons, swarm launchers and proximity mines.....Please tell me were on the market I can find the hundreds of AV threats to vehicles, I must have missed something...

Would be a crazy twist if the only way a tank can resuply ammo in 1.5 is supply depot

similarly, "tanks are OP cause they dominate the field!" Then they get popped. Was it just a matter of whether or not you tried to aim, lock on, and fire that swarm?
