ReGnYuM TeamPlayers EoN. 931	Posted - 2013.10.02 20:26:00 - [1] - Quote Honestly, have Tankers ever come to the conclusion that AV might be a Hard Counter specifically designed to destroy them. I focus on infantry vs infantry, and when I see a tank you know what I do? I Do a complete 180 and make sure that Tank is no where near me. My AR and I, have long ago come to the acceptance that I will never ever be able to destroy a tank. Tank play is my hard counter, and I absolutely hate it. Now why is it so hard for tankers or pilots to grasp that AV is a hard counter. The AV player specifically chose a role to counter you, making him vulnerable to people like me. Is the thought of chilling in safe area and sending slayers to mop up the AV to hard concept to handle.

Paying a million just to die in a few seconds to one guy with AV. Infantry kinda doesn't see this from our point of view. It is far easier than you think to destroy a tank in just a few short seconds. By one single guy... Ok lets say were balancing for ISK\ My most expensive suit about 250 isk vs a militia Tank and blaster. Should I win?

Unbelievable

XD so yes u would win. My role is full anti infantry why would I carry AV

Way not to answer the question meh

Yeah Regnym it could be like you say if AV "block" AR path. in reality the main issue is that people have SWARM and NADES I'm an Heavy and back in cromo i choose it 'cause i can kill Tankers With my forge... But right now ( i'm not a tower forgin scrub) people with a faster suit ( and usually had even the same HP) could put more dmg than my forge and dont need to aim too. and then simply change and go back to AR. As a Av specialist i found time to know tank weak spot and how can screw a dropship's balance. But swarm are something terribad. and with the profusion of DMG mod that an ASS.suit can run..... My fav style of play for pub stomping is running with a really aggressive blaster tank. Why A tank forces players to switch to AV. I find AV and slay it. Tank stays alive and I stay alive because there are less anti infantry players on the field.

You pay a price for hyper specializing. This is like saying that in an open map, a squad of AR users will obliterate a squad of shotgunners... Every time. Thank you for quoting only a portion. Good old echo was complaining that one AVer can ruin a full squad of tankers. Just showing the flip side on how counters work.

Its a hard counter.... one tank can ruin a squad of infantry with no AV and one av can destroy an entire group of tanks and lock the map down from them 1 tank in game with no AV can win the match. Especially in Ambush. Can you really not grasp the concept of sending ppl like me to deal with AV, or is that the tanks job?

Just showing the flip side on how counters work. not complaining just giving you examples on how unbalanced things are in favor of av The only thing that is a bit questionable is the ISK factor. However, we should not be blanching game play on ISK
