Victory! We only lost 10 clones! Tanks are so guud!
Sep 01 2013, 01:30 (EVE) - Ambush OMS - Bridge Map
Tank #1 - Isarc Grewem (9/0)
Tank #2 - Barbosa07z (9/0)
Tank #3 - ShadowOfWar88 (9/0)
Tank #4 - Diablo-Gun-Pro (4/0)
Tank #5 - Reve Zephos (8/1)
*Tank #6 - HC RSOL (7/1)
Tank #7 - Klit Licker (2/0)
Yes, these seven brave tankers were rolling about on the field, all at the same time.
If a limiter was supposed to kick in, it didn't.
Yes, the enemy hurriedly switched to their swarms (as you can see, "we" lost two tanks).
This is why you can't have nice things.
This is why everyone (who already isn't) will eventually carry Proto AV.

* Counted 7 tanks on the field shortly following initial spawn. Immediately grabbed a pen and paper to jot down names. I'm not 100% certain that this guy was one of the seven tankers, as one tank was blown up before I could get to everyone. |

Some games no AV aims at my dropship. Obviously those are great. Then someone pulls a militia forge+swarm and I'm locked out of the map forever on penalty of death
Agreed, IX. This is the first time I've ever seen armor on this scale in an ambush pubmatch (hence the note taking).
Nonetheless, I thought it apt to document the observation, in light of recent lobbying by tankers for "no more proto AV". |

Keep what in mind?
That if tanks are buffed by unreasonable degree -- and presently viable counters are stripped of efficacy -- that smart tankers like you would be indistinguishable from myriad others amidst pursuant spam of unchecked super tanks.
I'm not saying that the above scenario "shouldn't have happened" ... only pointing out that it did happen.
I'm not claiming that there was no counter; you have offered two.
I am pointing out that if tanks are ever "too good", we'll have a mess on our hands akin to the LLAV.

Agreed that if scrubs think tanking is an i-win button it becomes a problem.
I like it that tanking is difficult, it makes it that much more rewarding when i put a good match together.
On these points we are in outright agreement, Attorney General.
I would further that I intend no offense by this post or its message to you or any other reputable tanker. My sole intent is to offer counterpoint to those tankers requesting mega buff and/or mega nerf to AV. In posting such requests, a responsible merc might first consider the effect and plausibility of overuse. |

Is not a complaint thread.
Is a food-for-thought thread. |
