I was in a few matches this weekend that were dominated by a couple of impressive tanks. That's fine, the match I was in that I was actually on their side was awesome. :) What I don't get though is why everyone on the opposite side doesn't go AV? I have rarely seen a tank that can survive a single militia swarm launcher, I can't imagine any of them surviving 6 or 16 of them. In most matches that I've been in, it only takes destroying one tank to get all of them to pack up and go home.

tanks not surviving... a militia swarm? one salvo? I wan't you to share whatever it is you're smoking.

Cos then the infantry we run with screw the AVers over.

Combined arms are important!

Because is useless ? I spent a full battle the other day shooting Swarm Missiles at a tank from a Supply Depot, i think i manage to get it's shields down for about 1 second .... or was 0.5 of a second ?

Sure, but if one other guy was doing the same thing? Or two others? For some of the maps the tanks don't mean much, but I'll still see AR guys firing at them. No big deal, just wondering what people are thinking.

Your funny, obviously I meant the whole magazine. LAV's don't go down with a single salvo. It has only been in the last couple of weeks that I've seen tanks that can survive until I run out of ammo and dropships that can outrun them. It is still rare though.
That is the point of the post. I used to be able to run vehicles off solo regularly with no skills. It now takes a village, or possibly skills I'm not interested in investing in.

Right, because for the FG you only need about 10,000 sp and..... oh... wait....

One Ishukone FG on a roof can shut down an entire opposing team's vehicles.

Because tanks are not a problem

Unless you are blaster you can get killed if you are being a tryhard but even then nanohive + lolAVnades = dead tank

lolmissiles wont kill you, and rail is rail

Tanks are not to be feared anymore, its more like lolmovingcoffin and generally everyone has adv AV these days and most groups i come up against just swap out to lolprotoswarms

Just bunnyhop like a ****** and you will be fine against loltanks

0 SP, because MLT forge gun = 1320 damage.

I **** people up with my scram pistol while using my swarm fit, people just need to learn to use sidearms.

It's a great question. I switch to AV immediately when i see armor on the field, and if i see more that one LAV or a dropship.

Why?

Because those fukkers need to be punished, hard and repeatedly, without remorse, for having the arrogance to deploy into my theatre of operations.

And for the LAV drivers, it's personal - i will make you pay for years for your murdur taxi lameness. I sincerely hope i'm not alone in this. We all need to work together to make the world a better place, after all. =)

This is true. Sometimes I get more kills with my breach smg in my av suit.
Probably because I fight smarter without my crutch ar.

Before I spec into av i will make sure my smg skills are maxxed out or atleast to advance.

The commando suit was suppose to be a solution to this. But too slow for my taste.
But it would be op if they made it a regular assault suit.

If they put the commando capability on a scout suit that woud be bad***.

Some people don't skill into AV, and/or they delete the starter fits after playing for awhile. They might be used to running in squads where "someone else" takes care of that. You get the right collection of no-AV people running solo in a pub match, and then the tanks just roll over them. High enough level tankers can shrug of people running MLT Swarms anyhow, especially if the MLT Swarm crowd amounts to 1 or 2 people that aren't working together.

There's a post elsewhere here where three guys spider tanking took on another team with at least 3 or 4 to 1 odds. AV being "OP" doesn't help people if they haven't made AV fits or skilled into it.

It's similar to a team not having any one using links (you run into this in pubs). I guess in other matches or what-not, they're used to having someone else handle that for them, so none of them skilled into droplinks or feel like running those fits. So, they get routed easily, and no one can get out of the red zone because there's no spawn points elsewhere and the enemy is gunning people down when they spawn.
