Because as Infantry we (and I was one of you) let the ******* tanks down in almost every conceivable way.
LOL True sometimes I think you're just crazy. Battles I've been in, mercs support their tanks. They will chase down swarm launchers and take out Forge gunners so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
The truth is, the tank holds no respect for the infantry. I jump in a tank, he automatically thinks I'm just in it for WP assists. If I'm driving my LAV, the tank will just mow over me without any regard. And I didn't even see the tank. If I turn the corner and there's a tank moving in my direction, he will just continually drive forward while I'm stuck in some jerk animation as I try my best to get away from the tank. Which is really impossible until the tank decides to let me go.
Someone has to stop the foolishness for productivity. Tank guys gotta stop looking at infantry as just morons who flail about on the field and thinking they're some kinda god on the field. |

Tank guys gotta stop looking at infantry as just morons who flail about on the field and thinking they're some kinda god on the field. You made some wrong accusations here. Tanks do not think your "just in it for WP assists". Tanks think your in it for the assist as a minor reward, if you were in it to be productive we would be glad to share our kills and WP with you, we would LOVE that. But we know infaintry are going to AFK and refuse to leave our tanks for us to recall. So we die. Yes we crush lavs in our way because we need to get out of the way of av! or your just in our way. Your right, we do not respect you guys, we absolutly hate you for getting our tanks blown up so directly. Im glad you and your squad target the AV, but most ppl do not, they do NOT go out of their way to kill the AV over there, they dont care about us and we cant deal with them over there. So they cause us to get blown up indirectly as well. So yeah. Forgive us for our lesser evil of destroying your lavs and dropsuits, cuz yal cost us tanks. Btw, we KNOW were not gods on the feild, not even close
Just so you know, you said that tankers don't think we are in it just for the WP assists but then go on to say that if we were productive in tank then you wouldn't have a problem with us. So to me, that's the same thing.
It sucks though, I understand your plight or at least the tankers. Both groups need a reconciliation. Sadly, the majority of the community would sever the ties due to the lack of understanding. It takes both sides to come to an agreement instead of one just to make this work
But I'm taking notes. I will be sure to remember some of yall gripes so when I'm on field I can recognize early on whats the deal. Or at least attempt to communicate with the tanker as we fight.
