A great match that I kind of feel like boasting about though its nothing special for those "Great" Tankers out there.

15/0 on Border Gulch
3 Tanks Downed
1700+ WP
Covered 3 Captures
#1 on leaderboard

Again nothing special but it was epic to walk into a match solo, see a bunch of enemy tanks dropped, gunning down 3 of them, plus infantry, and aiding in 3 captures.

Good job, in particular when the details were expanded. Like you running a Soma and while at least one of the tanks was on the run a kill is still a kill. I am glad I read the rest of the comments.

The most I have popped solo is only four, at least that I can recall. I have done more but only with a Gunner. I dread Random Blue Belles because they have cost me nearly as many tanks as the Reds themselves.

The first solo match that you survive is notable.
The first solo match you survive and thrive is notable.
The first solo match that do the above and top the boards ... that feeling lasts for along time. Enjoy it.

Now I just have to get decent with Blasters. I run Rails, nearly all the time. I have dropped several Somas lately. Fully intent on taking my Mad out. But hardeners and repair with a heat sink has stopped them every time. So far. I don't recall running into you as yet. I will keep an eye out for you. It is much harder knowing who you are against with the drastic reduction in information these days.

Topping the boards isn't that tough, I do it more often than not when I am not squadded with Aero, but yeah, those were milestones.

Blasters are the fun Turrets. Sure the tactical approach of the Rail Gun is nice, I roll my Rail tanks as Tank Destroyers. ambushes in urban zones, ridge line denial, I will never rail snipe, I hate people who do, they are poor tankers, and ever greater cowards, come fight me Rail to Rail on the map.

But the Blaster is the exercise is approach, are you fits as good as they can be, which modules to activate and when, what angle to approach from, who to engage first, etc.

Can tell you how many times a tank has aggressed me, dropped Avers, I chose to gun them down first, then turned my attentions to an overheated tank and gunned it down as well.

Rail snipers have their place just as blasters have their place. A blaster is more likely to get the kill, but a rail denies area more efficiently. 1.6 will be fun to watch, as I see most people going Madrugar/Blaster without doing the math, only to realize that missiles and rails will be more powerful than they have ever been (except rails in Chrome. lol)

Don't care, a redline rail sniper is a coward, get on the map like I do and snipe from there.

As a True Amarr I have a code of ethics. Fight with honour, face my foe, don't back down.

No forges, but plenty of Swarms and Av Grenades. 67000 Damage Dealt 52500 Damage Taken 87300 damage dealt 150000 damage taken beat that I don't care about beating you, I actually mentioned the better tankers in the OP, prolly guys like you. I'm just happy I got 3 tanks in one match, lived through it myself, and was top of leader boards. hey it's better than most tankers ya see these days

PC is where the real challenge is at not really PC is less of a challenge than a pub match simply because everyone in PC has proto gear meaning everyone is basicly on a equal lvl while in pub match 1 side is normally stacked so that 1 side has more of a challenge to winning besides PC laggs for most the population from what I see and hear

I was talking about PC in general not just for tankers and honestly before and even after uprising tanks do fine in PC it's the drivers that get them killed or the idiot telling them to do something that'll get them killed :P
