Lol, while your numbers are exaggerated (just a bit) I will give you there are way more ****** infantry than there are ****** tankers, but only cause there is way more infantry than tankers.

So I offer a compromise. Over the next week or so I will do my best to help blue tanks, so long as they are at least attempting to be productive and letting me get off the bumper if they hit me (it happens, I know, just let me get off). All I ask is that you blue tanks at least look at who all is on your team, and if it looks like you have a strong squad or two, give them a chance to work on some of the supply depots. Those things can be crucial. And if you hit someone, let them get off your bumper (unless you got a bunch of swarms launched and heading your way, in that case I do understand. It's getting pushed forward as tanks are attacking that is really irking foot soldiers).

Unfortunately I can only speak for myself on this compromise. Hopefully any infantry players reading this thread will follow suit.

We can start there and see what happens. If we can get some trust built back up between tanks and foots and get us all working together, we could do some amazing stuff.

I refuse! It's comfy in there with the air conditioning, and the cushy seats..., and the armor and shields equal to 10+ times that of my scout suit.

Oh :(. I thought we were gonna make out on a cliff, isn't that how those movies go?

When did this hate relationship develop between troops and tanks?

see bottom paragraph

When Infantry failed to realise one of their greatest assets on the field is a friendly Madrugar. Sure they curse enemy Maddies like the plague when they roll around, yet the fail to protect, defend, or ever support their allied tanks especially in urban areas.

Now tanks never enter urban areas, they never care about allied infantry being butchered when they could help, they never care about objectives.
WHY?

Because as Infantry we (and I was one of you) let the ******* tanks down in almost every conceivable way.

When will hate relationships stop?

This is exactly what I was going to put.

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.

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

This post sure helps your cause. It definitly makes me want to risk my clone to help you.

If only more tankers refused to work with their blueberries, then we would have a lot less tanks in pubs.

Sounds kinda fun though, I may just slap on some free militia suit on an alt I don;t care about, go find the nearest tank, and refuse to leave so they can't recall and also shoot the guns wildly at no particular object.

It bugs me to no end that if theres a friendly tank on the field they wont let me support it. I understand why they dont, but I wouldnt mind getting in your tank with my reppers and shotgun ready to kill swarmers or AV naders and rep the tank afterwards.

tankers would also love this, its mutually benifical but they dont know your trying to be productive

I know, I also run tanks.

One of my fondest moments in uprising is when I jumped into a shield tank as he was headed towards an objective, while we're going a swarmer pops up and hits the tank so I immediately jump out and run him down turned out he had an uplink nearby so I take that out too, along with the unlucky forge bastard that spawned there as I was mass driving it, ran back to the tanker that had decided to stay there and jumped up and down twice to tell him that it was clear but an assault guy with an AR had snuck up behind me and put rounds in my back I turn around with half sheilds fully expecting to die before I kick the bucket though the tanker puts four rounds out and melts the dude, I jump in the tank and we continue the match.

After the match I get a mail that says: "Thanks for the help. Glad I could repay the favor." This is truly something that made me smile.

And your the reason why 9%% of tankers wont leave a extra turret on

GG

here i made you a special hat now go sit in the corner

that... is awsome. I wish stuff like this happened to everyone :/

You Know if tankers actualy helped the team rather than steam rolled around with only their own K/D ratio in mind, people might respect tankers more. I Fing hate tankers, they arnt team players, they dont care about winning, they dont want anyone in their tank because they "belive" pasengers are just after kill assist WPs, and even if they are it dosent take away from the drivers kills so why do you care.

So I hope AV stays OP forever and you tankers get driven into extinction you ungrateful twits!

You're delusional, tanks help push points more then any infantry blob.

The reason we dont like blue berries in our tank is because they WONT LEAVE. We even pull in the red line and wait and they just sit there.

yeh, i specifically put down "we do not help you because you refuse to get out of our tanks, you kill us intentionally." and they read "im worryed about my KD and my passengers are there for the WP assist"
Makes no sence. Worst community ever. Delusional is truly the right word

Have I mentioned i'll be running for CPM1 when elections start? Could really use the tanker community behind me.

the tankers have a completely valid point that their being screwed,but its all jibberish by this point. I dont personally think tanks shouldent be able to be recalled because its not enough for me to solo them, they shouldent be able to escape me ethire. and personally i dont think its a problem for tankers to be killed by their own teammates

Im tired of almost killing a tank and the driver goign around a conner and recalling it in an instant.

I'm a tanker/Team guy

filled in the words you forgot to include there

Sorry the continious baying of tankers has just blured into jibberish by this point.

Anyway I personaly think tanks should not be able to be recalled, so I dont really see a problem with blue berrys taking a siesta in your tank.

Oh i didnt know us infantry came as a bonus with the purchase of your expensive tank...., we are all Mercs i have no loyalty to give on the field other then myself...and i sure as hell will not jump inbetween a smoking tank and 6 enemy infantry to save someone i dont know, i will however use your smoking tank to my advantage and flank the sh*tz out of these guys.

You keeping your tank after i am done with those guys is just a bonus.

PS: if it was the otherway around and you see 6 guys going to my location with me not knowing, you would try to kill them all, me staying alive would be a bonus then, but not a requirement.

I love tanks when they actually help their infantry and work together with us, its the friendly tanks that just drive on looking for more kills that drive me insane. Repping up a friendly armor tank and hopping in and out of his guns to provide a small infantry screen for him as he drives around. Get to an objective and I hop out and start hacking it, I start getting shot at and hop out hoping the tank can back me up looking around hes halfway across the map trying to blow up a CRU. Seriously you need to stick with your inantry as much as we need to stick with you.

You're damn right that vehicle operators main concern is their K/DR, a decent fit tank or dropship cost upwards of 500k per vehicle, our first and foremost concern is keeping our vehicle alive, everything else is secondary. And you say that tanks just steamroll round? In my experience both on the ground and in vehicles the infantry just end up in one huge messy firefight while the tank is the only thing actually hitting the objective. And in a game with such lethal AV movement is the key to survival, sit still and AV will be brought to bear on you, they will trap and them annihilate you. And here's another reason we vehicle users loathe bluedots in our vehicles, not only do they sit there being rather ineffective 90% of the time! they stop you recalling your vehicles and they steal them. Every single veteran vehicle user will have at least 1 story of where they jumped out of the vehicle/pilots seat and some enterprising blueberry jumped in and promptly suicided the vehicle through sheer incompetence, not giving a **** about the vehicle user they just cost half a million ISK.

When did this hate relationship develop between troops and tanks?

There are a lot of times where I have been the only player on a objective and a couple where I have hopped out of my tank to take it since no allies seemed to have the intention of doing so.

Aaaaarrrrrgggggg NEVER and I do mean never get out of your hav . Trust me if you get out and get killed theres nothing worse than blowing up your own tank. Or having it stollen .

i hate blueberries. i swear, everytime i put on good turrets, i get a ****** in my tank who thinks he can kill the mcc.

I am a great gunner and I can be your mechanic tankers. All I ask is a decent turret and for you to not run off when I am repping your tank. Please don't be a D***. So with that said if I see you Char I will be your gunner, I can be AV or a mechanic your choice and that goes for all tankers.

Cycled, fragmented or accelerated?

So then supply depots shouldn't let you switch suits on the fly. You can only switch suits when you die.

Sound fair?

When did this hate relationship develop between troops and tanks?

also the swarms are proto as well

When tankers decided they should be one man machines of death, and not have to interact with anyone other than more tankers, despite playing a social centric game!

I hate blueberry tanks that ram you and crap like that it gets really annoying it can even cost you a tank when your getting hit by AV.

I played Tank wrestling with a bulk standard MLT Soma in my Pimped out Soma.... we both died badly.....
