If the enemy team wants your tank gone they will destroy it whether the supply depot is there or not. Dont punish infantry because of your insecurities.  Did you miss every single post made by tankers in the last few days? Since you choose to miss everything, I'll say it again. We blow up depots if we have to. We don't do it just because we want to. Lots of us run armor tanks, and do like the fact that we could visit a depot to top off our armor. However, if it looks like the enemy team has a ton of AV available, then we're going to take it out. If a match is really close, and a depot is the only thing standing between my team taking an objective and losing, I'll destroy it if the other team is spamming grenades and explosive weaponry.We have our reasons, and they're good reasons. We get 100 WP for destroying installations. We get 50 WP for destroying a depot. Tell me, why would I spend the time putting 12-15 rail rounds into a depot when I could just put 2-3 into an installation, and get more WP? You don't have a base for an argument. Tankers act is if youre all one in the same, "you" may have your reasons, but not all tankers do. 90% of tankers are not what you would consider smart, read recent post for example ^ Bear in mind this argument of 90% dont act intelligently can absolutely backfire on you. I've seen swarms try to kill supply depots for whatever reason. Should I say all scrub AV guys dont have a brain? No I shouldn't, because there are enough with the intelligence to get atop a spire and deny all vehicles on the battlefield. Also we can examine infantry. A good many wait for an objective to turn red before hacking it so they can get points. Does that make them wrong? Surely they could have aided the team more by counterhacking without a reward. Also performing logistics activities from a shield logi LAV gives no points, scanning gives no points, destroying equipment gives no points. Many people avoid doing things because it gives no points. In qa losing match many infantry that could bring out expensive, dare I say proto equipment switch to militia gear instead because they dont want to lose money. A tanker still bring in their tank, and it absolutely costs more than your suit. Where is the argument there? Combining your infantry with the tank might even be able to push an objective! And then theres the choice of targets. Certainly, alot of infantry sooner kill the guy that can kill them than the guy that can kill the tank. If the infantry killed the AV guy, the tank could kill the other assault focused infantry and you'd have a wonderful world. But thats not how it goes is it? Seems like if one is going to complain about stupid players in tanks then the problem is with the stupid players and not the tankers. The complaints on the forums however, refer to the tankers. If the post would specify bad players in tanks rather than "tankers" we'd avoid a lot of confusion and bad blood.
Bad players often cannot differentiate between the two, for that would mean acknowledging themselves alongside their statement, and they don't want to do that.
