So 98% of the player base are wrong and CCP should listen to you? This is a game with tanks in it, not a game about tanks. Dust does not revolve around you.

AV nades in no way do that sort of damage to a well fit tank, even the Lai Dai's.

The best way to avoid AV nades is to use a scanner and prioritize maneuverability over heavy plating.

and I want to throw nuclear baseballs at you....how do we decide the winner?

sp?
well it costs a **** ton more to be an effective infantry then it does to be an effective tank

isk? tanks cost me millions since without nuclear baseballs they troll roll us, when you see a tanker go 31-1 and complain about losing his 2 million isk tank, well how much do you think those suits cost the owners.

fun? I can tell you right now it's no fun at all getting trolled by tanks.

numbers? theirs more infantry then tank pilots, so you aren't winning that war.

end of the day av grenades are around because tanks are simply **** to fight if their is not a viable answer to them, aside from finding the nearest supply depot that they may or may not of blown up yet.

I wouldn't even consider you a tanker, iv heard that you don't even take other tankers head on, you go behind them where they cant hit you and make your move, by this meaning that you can take anyone on head on and you know it.

So playing smart and waiting for a good opportunity is considered bad play? Instead he should just rush in head first and let you blow him up? Come on man I know your a good tanker and all but seriously its a good tactic to wait for a prime opportunity to strike.

I know that tanks aren't ideal for head on attacks, but when your going against other tankers, its basic respect for you take each other head on.

Void, you make some good points, but an insistence on some sort of archaic system of dueling is ridiculous. When I've popped tanks, I didn't bow first. When other tanks have popped me, they didn't give me a warning shot. If someone is open, you blitz them, that's just common sense. Don't you see how silly it is to castigate infantry for demanding the game be all about what they want, only to demand that other tankers follow your idea of decorum in order to be considered 'tankers?' That's just cliquish.

Their own fault for not being prepared.

av grenades are being prepared.

AV grenades are the biggest crutch I've seen in gaming next to auto aim (different from aim assist).

I just hate tankers that claim to be good when they never really got hit by another tank.

sed was even burned the other day, everyone jumped on his case about doing that, he had no response.

You've heard wrong. I can take people on fine head on.

Let me explain to you the situation that you are probably referring to.


One of the tankers in the Tanker QQ channel also known as "Tanks R Us" brought out a missile tank. Myself, being a blaster tank made of armor, knows that taking one dead on with open space between us is suicide. I flank to the side and get within CQC before he can shred me down.

He gets butthurt and begs me for ISK.

My tank's build is survivability and speed. I don't play stupid.

You want to play suicidally? Go for it. I won't.

what isn't a crutch to cry babies >.>

How would you like it if they reduced total AR ammunition capacity by a magazine, and took one grenade off max total, giving you two?

Then reduced your PG skill to 3% per level, instead of 5.

Then doubled the price of all weapons.

If Sedio is fielding tanks, getting kills, and frustrating attempts by other tanks to kill him, then he is good. Why settle things mano-a-mano when you can settle for winning instead? I lost four tanks to Gatic Beawulf because he had a teammate using a swarm launcher. I thought the first two times were just sh*t luck, until I realized in the third round the dude was riding in Gattic's tank, and that they were partners. Dirty, underhanded, weasel tanking! F*ckin' brilliant! I feel nothing but admiration for such bastard tactics. Dude was doing whatever it took to protect his investment. The two million isk I squandered was well worth it for the attempts to get revenge, alone. When you're that caught up in something, it's fun.

If 3-4 people need to take out a tank then tanks should not be allowed in ambush modes

blaster vs missiles, I wonder which would win head on?

niga u are ******** lol

no...i assure you, it was one grenade, as I saw it being gingerly thrown from 2 stories up by a scout...then it landed and i went from 6000 HP to 0 HP. Yup. That's my day, for ya.

Haaa. Two minutes ago, lost another tank. Blueberry fucktards spamming the missile turrets and not letting me recall + getting caught by an av guy in between my cooldowns equals fuuuuck tanks. Wake me up when 1.5 hits. Meanwhile I'm going to have more fun getting proto-stomped in my assault starter suits, playing ambush.

How is that you think you're proving your point, by proving my point? You just conceded that your expensive cruiser would lay waste before being eventually dragged down. Get back to me when your cruiser get solo'd by a frigate.
