Once again all of you are making false claims of why we use tanks, whether it be "to buff up your K/Dr", "show up as highest on the leaderboards", "never die", etc etc, iv seen many many false claims from infantry as to why we skill into tanks.

These are the reasons:

1. We are tired of the same old FPS bull that we see in nearly every single game weve ever played, skilling into vehicles gives us excitement of something new being offered to us.

2. It is far more challenging than using a gun, we want a little bit of a challenge but not to where we don't enjoy tanking at all (we are at that point).

3. The income we get from destroying other vehicles with our own is greater than that of killing infantry, we don't really care about getting infantry kills unless they are using AV.

4. We love the thrill of going against other vehicle pilots and colliding with our fittings and skills to see who is superior and where we can adjust to get better.

5. The vehicle battles are awesome to be part of, I love it when I have other tankers on my team and we fight against enemy tankers through the match, its MUCH more fun than just killing infantry.

6. We like to use the biggest weapons in the game to how we like them.

7. Its new, it should be exciting.

8. This is not meant to be a normal boring old FPS like COD, BF or Halo.

9. We like to be different, we don't want to follow the crowd and use what literally everyone uses all the time.

10. Diversity.

11. We just love to blow things up.

please actually read these reasons why we skilled into tanking in the 1st place and understand that you are completely wrong as to why we role with vehicles.

These are definitely my reasons for skilling into tanks. I may share some of the reasons with other tankers, but I know these aren't the only reasons also. so any other tankers that want to give their reasons please do.

(all troll posts, ranting and spamming will be reported until deleted.)

Those might very well be reasons for you but still you tankers are superior to infantry and there`s no point crying over AV when you go over 20/0 in majority of matches.It is VERY rare for me or anybody really to solo kill one of you so stop already.

The problem is LLAVs.

So how about sharing some of your kill/deaths so you can enlighten me?

Point proven.

no entirely, although the best anti-vehicle weapon should be a vehicle mounted weapon, but that's besides the point im making. your posts are not constructive whatsoever, please go elsewhere.

also, Lurchasaurus just report his posts until its deleted, I don't want any negative comments here, this thread it just to give reasons why we tank. nothing more.

doesn't matter, his posts completely ignores the reason of why im made this thread.

why wouldn't i skill into vehicles?

I played Beta when we were getting 200k SP a match, just so we could try everything out... I play what i enjoy, whether that is Logi, HMG, Sniper, tank or drop ship.

I had wrote a big long histroy of my time in dust and why i became a tanker, but why would anyone care or want to read that lol.

Instead I will say this, I became a tanker because of my white knight personality, because i didn't want other tanks rolling over my team constantly, my role is basically obsolete because of AVs superior ability in this, yet still because so many ppl in this game are mouth breathing inbred downies, I still get to bring my tank out.

Cry me a river, you're getting proto modules in 1.5?

Tanks are swiss army knives, with over 10x the hitpoints of a dropsuit for relatively equal SP investments. Tanks do everything, while infantry has to specialize. The only thing tank drivers can't do is capture points, and I'm fairly sure i've seen tankers ask for modules that allow them to hack while still inside their vehicles.

The very nature of a tank driver is to ask to be better than someone else, while putting in the same amount of time as them. Tankers are not special, and do not deserve special treatment just because they decided to put their SP in to tanks. Your SP is no different than mine, and should entitle you to no more than me. It's not better, and you tank people need to dispel the illusion in your head that just because you concentrated in one tree, you should be treated differently.

You want to be good at tanks? You invest millions of SP. You want to be good at AV? The same is true. My character is walking proof of that. I have over 15.5 million SP invested strictly in making me the best AVer I can be. This is no different from you investing your SP into tanks, trying to be the best tanker you can be. You need skills in hulls, modules, and weapon systems. So do we, and the modifiers and skill trees are not very different. If anything, infantry has more choices to make than vehicles. Your turret does not care if it's shooting at a Heavy, a Scout, an Installation, or another Vehicle. Our weapons DO care, and it DOES matter what we're shooting at. Therefore, we have to spend our SP to access multiple weapons systems, just to be as effective as a tank turret.

You people need to get off your high horses, because at the end of the day we're both specialists. Myself, in AV. You in Tanks. And other people in anti-infantry.

[Deleted] Nevermind.

/shrug ... like you said, it was a douchy post so I went back to delete it. Cuz I recognized that and it's not worth it.

But Void's "STFU EVERYONE LET ME HAVE MY POST!!!!" response was lolworthy enough to keep me smiling through it all
