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.)

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

COD/Halo are crap but BF has some pretty intense vehicle combat, hell Bad Company 2 still has the best vehicle combat

I dont think anybody needs a reason to spec into vehicles, they are cool and useful but recently the amount of bs about them and AV on the forums is getting a bit much.

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.

i think you should open your eyes when you read the scoreboard and probably never try going av again as well. it clearly isnt your strong suit.

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

stop trying to compare vehicles to dropsuits, it wont work. vehicles are NOT dropsuits.

yet in those games, you don't put personal investment into anything other than infantry stuff, in this game you put personal investment into EVERYTHING.

you see thats a problem. im not your average tanker and i would just be proving you right

So you are implying that vehicles should only be taken out with vehicles?

I likey splosions . Redberry go boom.

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.

ill keep the negativity out, but i dont need to report his posts. its too easy to dismiss them with logic. that helps us more than simply erasing a post because other people can see him being wrong.

"lola's yolo yoyo"
Is the hardest thing to say fast.

Especially when no reading it

not unless you practice saying it...

I can't do it. My body rejects accepting yolo as a word to casually roll off the tongue in mid sentence.

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

then stop being an idiot and dont humor the guy talking about tongue twisters

You forgot #12

12) We like to drive OP vehicles with low skillpoint investment, then b!tch when we lose them to people dedicated to AV

.

OP POST
.

trolling, also falsifying a fact.


if over 10 million SP is low investment then yeah they aren't that much. then that must mean you don't put **** into your investments, also, we aren't OP.


its the pilots who are dedicated since we put everything into vehicles, you don't put everything into AV, your full of ****.

it takes over 9 million SP to get a soli foundation in tanks, it only takes you under 4 million to use AV. and you call vehicles low investment? your really full of ****.

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.

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.

i can kill ANY vehicle with militia swarms or militia forge gun as can anyone else, stop making excuses

uh oh......he just did it......now someone has to get all the vehicle skills and this guy ^^^^ might not like how THAT turns out lol

hint: vehicles have and will cost more sp. multipliers are simply higher and well, i dont need to go any deeper than that.

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.

lol

So you skilled into all AV then

Well ive skilled into nearly all vehicles and to get them all to 5 will cost at least 20mil SP if not more, i have 17mil into it so far, 6mil SP spare for the pilot dropsuit which will take 2.5mil to get to proto and thats for all races so 10mil more added in

We have basic vehicles,we dont even have proto or any variations which are better than the basic tank yet you have all proto in weapons and suits

You can skill up proto swarms for 2mil, forget the rest you dont need it if you dont render on top of a hill and its still 10-20x cheaper than a vehicle

We dont even have all the other vehicles or the other races vehicles or the other turrets

Overall we sink more SP into vehicles to get a basic vehicle

You can play the SP game but you will lose everytime, its a fact to be a true vehicle specalist compared to a AV specalist we spend more SP overall

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.

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. Also, you should realize that kd doesn't mean **** in this game, you cant buy more equipment with a kdr, you can only do that with ISK.

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.

(please no trolls or falsifying anything.)

Number 2 and 8 are you serious dude. Ive been skilled into vehicles and I run infantry. Being in a big armored tank with a BFG is harder then shooting someone in a dropsuit with a gun for real. That's your first dumb number. Halo being boring. Apparently you sucked at Halo or didn't really play it. One of the best game of all time during its era.

We didn't ignore your post, we were just trying to do better than "Wow, cool story bro... " cuz none of us really give a **** why YOU chose to be a tanker. This isn't kindergarten show and tell *******. If you want people to STFU, why did you post on the forums?

O my bad. Let me get back to voiceless +1ing and mindlessly agreeing that it's so uber cool to now know the inner workings of Void Echo's motivation. Woohoo. "Cool story bro!" and I care.

wow your just a sadistic little boy whos home from school because hes sick.

id rather not have a troll thread but theres 2 pages of it beginning after the 1st page.

in case you didn't read, they don't give any reasons you think of.

[Deleted] Nevermind.

nice try kid, we got your idiocy in a quote

nice try kid, we got your idiocy in a quote

/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

I likey splosions . Redberry go boom.

I like splosions too. Big tank go boom

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

Having tanks and vehicles is nothing new lol. The thread is a joke, trying to legitimise your use of tanks with obvious reasons that have been around for at least a decade, when all you needed to say was they're part of the game and I enjoy them.

Attention seeking at its finest.

I'm glad there are tankers who got into vehicles for these reasons. I'm not sure if you can speak for all tankers, though those who speced into tanks for these reasons are the tankers that will go far because its what the like doing in dust.
Hopefully the ones who do only want to buff their kdr etc will stop tanking and go into something else.

Don't forget my personal #1 reason for tanking.

I don't feel like investing SP into a "better" version of what's already free. I'll **** anyone up with a militia scrambler pistol, and if it's tougher to do, so much the better. Just means while infantry pump sp into getting better fits, I'm getting better at actually playing the game, WHILE gaining access to something that is not available for free.

in other games, you cant personally invest your time or skill into driving vehicles, you just hop in them and go, in this game, you have to put personal investment to be able to call them in. big differencce

Hate to break it to ya but I was playing an MMO, that had skills,xp/sp, character and build customisation oh and vehicles that cost ingame currency for each one, wayyy back in 02 and were in 2013, 11 years in the future and no other game uses it besides this.
