We don't tank AND NEITHER DO YOU!

You keep playing the same trump card over and over and over and wonder why it's trump then gets played.

So called 'tankers' (who aren't - were all infantry that can summon vehicles) don't notice the effect a tank has on whether we win the match, even if deployed only for a brief time. Because they have forgotten about it being about winning the match and instead it's about them getting to be 'tankers', cause they are 'tankers'.

The deployment of tanks is a trump card - like OB are a trump card.

Tanks are not your identity or special role.

But you don't care because you don't care about winning and the effect your tank no doubt had toward that - you care about being this mythical 'tanker' role. For it's own sake. Quit roleplaying...

then the infantry role isn't your identity, your just a mindless clone.

your role is your identity, the class you spent your SP on is your intended role and your identity.

AV nades are the worst AV weapon in the game, it negates one of concepts of the game where you need to sacrifice something in order to gain something else.. How much time do you spend as infantry? Do you know the value of anti infantry grenades for crowd control or just plain killing? How many of your fittings, barring any dirty AV grenade ones, forgo anti infantry grenades?
