Why Grenadiers hate Tanks: because RUNNING towards a 6000+ EHP behemoth that can kill you with 1-2 shots of his blaster is always a bad idea. Unless of course. The tanker was in a place he wasnt supposed to be, like, i dont know, camping a CRU? Case closed , go whine somewhere else.

Tanks have no rear view a scout could run behind it unnoticed and hit a tanks weak spot 3 times before he has a chance to react. My tank has way more than 6000 but I don't have enough time to activate hardeners or reppers

Someone who hasn't played a tank 2. Have such low self esteem as a gamer they feel they need a crutch 3. Probably still butt hurt over the flaylock nerf 4. Say the MD requires skills 5. Don't see why they have to specc outside of their role to deal with vehicles 6. Love to be argumentative for the sake of it

I'll use them if I am on foot but I'd prefer to take out a tank with my tank. 3. Used the Flaylock once the day they came out. I am a true logi first and foremost, I don't have a sidearm. 4. Have MD at V and 2 prof and rarely use it, seems kind of cheap. 5. My only foot solder AV is proto AV nades and basic prox mines. No swarms no forges just nades and cheap mines. 6. I prefer logic and reason but who doesn't enjoy a good argument from time to time. AV nades are fine.

Going against the hole team what do you think will happen? 1-10% chance you live. Another thing that might help is squad with more tankers. Just like when your using a dropsuit and fighting you dont go it alone. 3-5 Tanks on the field might help you out. I would like to point out that when you were smashing players before the first 3x exp about 2 months ago and you were killing players. YOU MADE them spec into AV. They got sick of you in your tank. You didnt see them QQ'ing on forums saying "tanks are to strong" They did something about it to stop your tank pub stomp. I have a tank friend and he can make a 1 armor tank last 13+ ambush games. Its all about how you play. No disrespect to any tanker out there. I still love you guys in your evil tank! I hope you know they are going to be "buffing" tanks. I hope you like having ammo now! https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=104985

Dante Vento Firefly Shipping co. 23	Posted - 2013.08.31 04:38:00 - [14] - Quote As a logi have no reason to use locus or flux grenades, so I've skilled into AV nades so my squad mates don't have to. It helps to have someone in squad who can deal with the LAV spam. And if a tank is where it shouldn't, like on our redline or sitting in the same place for any reasonable amount of time then I put a hive down and spam. Most of the time the tank rolls away and it's only the REALLY stupid and slow ones that sit there and in turn are kill. Keep your tank moving away from me and your fine. Camp anywhere and you deserve what comes to you. 1. I have played as a tank and do so regularly....not well but I do. 2. I don't "lean" on AV nades to solely kill tanks. It's a deterrent, and works perfectly. 3. Flaylock nerf was a VERY happy day. 4. No, MD don't need any skill and am shocked they were buffed in the first place. 5. I did spec out of my role to get the AV nades in the first place. I ran militia locus BPO until getting into grenades for the AV. 6. I love to WIN arguments, but avoid them whenever possible. 7. No, if you skilled into MD you should stick with it despite the nerf. I think that AV nades might be OP, but they don't need a nerf. Tanks need a buff. When it takes 3 ADV AV nades to take out a low-end LAV any nerf will make LAV's OP. That excludes LLAV's which have better tank than the tanks and need massive nerfs. Don't hate the nade! Ask for some Tank love.

In reality Tanks have the hp of scouts. Proto AV grenades have been witnessed to do upto 3500 damage per nade and swarms can deal close to 3800 when fully maxed out. Even with reps, resistance, and logi support a tank can only survive upto 4 proto AV hits. This leaves the tank no choice, but to hide in the redline and snipe, but then I guess that would be acceptable to the infantry who shun it for acting like a TANK. Check your facts and don't always believe what a weapon says it does on paper. The only scout here is the tank itself.

Tankers HAVE IT SO FUC*** GOOD compared to scouts that im thinking of tracking your IP just to go where you are and SPIT on your face. You people think i didnt spec into AVs? That i get free kills with nades just because they are free and cheap? I was a Minma proto Scout and Specced into PROTO FOrge gunes and PROTO Nades because i was sick of you vehicle users stompin on infantry. Over 6 million SP only to have the ability to scare you away. You dont like nades, dont run into cities. Byes.

I have seen it happen multiple times. The math is simple. 1700 base damage times the 30% weak spot on the tank which is all over the tank for some programming reason, plus 30% broken explosive damage (programming error, why many of us say they are broken, and finally all multiplied by a 135% efficiency vs armor. This equates to over 3600 DMG per nade. OP? Crutch? Working as intended? unfortunately it is all of the above

Unless its a crap fit tank they always take at least 4 and if it is a crap fit well it deserves to die.

CCP balance AV grenades so they do there appropriate job on the battlefield. And this was covered in many other threads..... 1. You called out your tank crutch, expect someone to at least have AV grenades 2. Every VEHICLE is the same, is that a friendly one I hear rolling around or flying? 3. It may do similiar damage to a swarm, but the swarm has the range 4. Yes, it can HONE-in within 30 meters, but it is still able to miss if the vehicle is going fast enough; the second grenade needs to be cooked or it bounces off the vehicle to explode harmlessly above or behind the vehicle (aka close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades or in this case AV grenades) 5. Can act as a mine, if the vehicle hits it within 10 seconds (and besides CCP already reduced the length of time it remains on the ground active, and also that it no longer works on infantry without an enemy vehicle) ** At the same time I can't really control the point an AV grenade hits on the vehicle as the weak spot is only hittable by a weapon like the forge gun - I have watched countless grenades bounce off the weak spot in the back and blow up above the vehicle. -Since LONG BEFORE the open beta, swarm launchers tend to hit every ledge a drospship or tank on a building sits upon and not the vehicle and can't even hit a dropship that just goes up high enough. The spot it hones in upon is predetermined in both circumstances. 6. CPU costs is usually 5 more points than the Locus variety, usually results in being forced to use a lower level weapon or Max-ing out the Electronics skill and most of the PG upgrade skill 6a. Show me a dropsuit that can't use at least 1 weapon and a grenade.... most vehicles can have 3 turrets (except the LAV) 7. Most people get ADV to Proto AV grenades to deal with the LLAV's and get the bonus of having the Locus Grenades, fine just divide the grenade skill by 3 one for each type of grenade... but then I want the ability to carry 2 types of grenades so I can defend myself from the vehicles and infantry trying to kill me when there is no Supply Depot. 8. No skill huh, so if you don't know who has AV grenades... how do you know it was just 1 guy throwing them at you and not the Invisible Swarms or the Forge Gunner on top of structures? I wonder why so many people jumped into vehicles (aka the long game) and completely ignored the Infantry aspect (short game) of the game first, well the vehicles ruled the game until enough of us capturing objectives and fighting the other AV users got up enough skills in various things in order to be a more complete soldier and deal with vehicles. It only took us 6 months to be able to not get stomped on by the tanks in every match. Why not wait to see what actually happens after this BIG UPDATE to vehicles that is upcoming? As was said to me when I made inquiries about why my suits CPU was nerfed, EVERYONE KNEW VEHICLES were going to be nerfed, so why did you skill into them, your decisions have consequences; even when ccp is in complete control of your choices and will completely change whatever they want. Ask your fellow tankers to regale you with tales of the time 3 tanks didn't let CCP get out of their SPAWN in a match between (censored as not to rile up the trolls, as they have their 20-30 threads claiming exactly what you are, they have just been slightly more effective with their constant consistent whine and outrageous claims) and the DEVS.

I'll be a hundred out drilling you AND your chunky monkey, lazyass friends. 2: No, I find carrying AV nades helps discourage retards in LAVs from trying to bumperhump me. It's a tool. If the tool does the job I want to do, I will use the tool. 3: I give a crap about the flaylock... why? By the way, flaylocks have nothing to do with AV. your butthurt is leaking out of your pants. 4: It does. If you don't have skill then you do about as well with the massdriver as with an AR. Crappy. Again, your butthurt is leaking as this and the flaylock have nothing to do with AV nades. 5: See my disclaimer. I don't have a role. I merely use the most expedient means of killing you I can deploy. This pretty much includes every weapon in the game. 6: I can't argue with this. I love being an argumentative ass. However, your blanket statement shows you are fond of strawman arguments and broad generalizations being touted as evidence. There you go, a proper response to your [CENSORED] statements. There you go. Oh by the way you forgot reason number 7 why I defend AV nades: It pisses you off.

Ryme Intrinseca Seraphim Auxiliaries 2	Posted - 2013.08.31 14:38:00 - [57] - Quote There are big downsides to using AV grenades: 1. Fitting costs are higher than other grenades. 2. If you carry them you can't bring locus or flux grenades, which leaves you vulnerable against infantry. 3. To actually make use of them you have to get very close to the massive metal death machine. 4. Even if you manage that without dying you can't carry enough to take out a well fitted tank. I wish AV grenades were as OP as tankers say, as I have a stockpile of proto AV grenades that would save me ISK on each suit. But the downsides are so high I very rarely use them.

Mexican Jumping Beans, hilarity ensues But they despawn within seconds, making you throwing them on the ground a tad less effective than just throwing them at the vehicle is question, correct? Wouldn't the actual mines be more useful as they are persistant and have a 100% chance to hit the undercarriage?

Left for a full 10 minutes, then suddenly got a +40 and some 50's as well, was all like "wtf? Oh yea AV nades"

I have proto nanohives and I could literally lick his tank when I started my barrage of Lai Dai's. Hence why I was able to land 6 Lai Dai's. I run Lai Dai's all the time so I know that 6 of them is enough to kill the best tankers out there. 3 to kill a normal rail tanker, yet his took 6 to get half of his shield gone. Yet everyone on these forums are complaining about how OP Lai Dai's are. Yet here I was in the best scenario for myself. Lai Dai's work best in close quarters while rail tanks work best in long range. Any person could see this was the perfect storm for a rail tank to go down yet it didn't....It was far from dying.

You say did I have reverse damage mods on. See that is the exact point that people don't understand. They don't do THAT much damage to solo good tankers. I have gone against many of them and they are VERY hard to take out by myself. Dont sweat it bro: 1-1.4 / 1.5 will change everything AV - vehicle related. so its better to wait first what the new changes are. 2-CCP knows that real tankers are owning games not here whining. They wont listen to this sad mob.....
