Why should you get a vehicle reprieve in Ambush. Ever heard of ambushing tanks? Stranger things have happened. Do we get a vehicle only mode? Do we get a sans AV mode? Nope I suck it up when I play ambush on foot, so can you. HTFU.

Put down the AR and grab a swarm. God forbid you deviate from your playstyle. Tankers are out In full bullrush mode today aren't they?

I like these odds (provided he isn't standing on a nanohive). With Swarms, and Av Grenades if that was the case we'd all be dead by now.....

That would be like having a mode in which vehicles weren't allowed to have guns. Vehicle players sure know the meaning of balance Apparently you are not much better. AV specific weapon slots? Screw that suggestion

When I tank I bring ADV AV nades and an AScR because it'll do better against both tanks and AV than my tank will.

However, teamwork with blueberries is a joke and corp squads aren't always available. I always try to counter tanks with swarms and inexperienced tankers can fall rather easy. A madruger with hardener and reppers will require at minimum 2 proto swarms in unison or a forge plus swarms and movement restricted. That is hardly ever going to happen in ambush. So you will be free to push us around while we HTFU. Just be honest with yourselves and realize how ridiculous it is to have tanks (2 or more) on an ambush and expect any person to impede their progress . Organized groups of infantry players can run the table in an ambush too, what's your point? At least tanks can do the same without spamming grenades. Back in Chromo I stole someones Sagaris, rode it on one loop round the map, then I was blown up... who says blue dots cant work together?

This game will continue not to grow because the majority of this community comes off as extremely closed minded. Let's keep up the great work! Wait you want to model a game mode to your personal preference, excluding a proportion of the population of this game and you're calling us close minded?

Yup I made a split second decision a month ago to tank. Now I will never go back.

This is typicaly ******* HAV moron, its apparently YOUR fault if YOU dont have AV, so in the eyes of a tanker, if your not tailoring your game to play their game, then your the one at fault. Everybody run AV so HAV crutches can have some more validity. It's entirely infantry's fault if they don't bring AV. How am I supposed to give some random an ADV heavy and Ishukone assault forge? Odds are few are skilled into that anyway.[/quote] So Infantry get to determine the meta of the game. Complaining about HAV when they have the advantage when it come to AV weapons yet they insist the nerf bat need to hit HAV again, HAVer need to change their game entire, HAV need to be banned from game modes, so infantry don't have to make use of skills they specc into, change their own style of play, or have the challenge of AV gameplay. Such a pitifully weak argument.

So I can call in around 3,4 tanks per game,with 2,3 frends with high sp tanks. Hawe fun infantry All I can say is bring it on. Might not be skilled high enough to take most of you out yet. But someday I will be(hopefully we're all still playing). Til then, I will rejoice in any lucky kills I can get. Thanks guys, you have given me purpose. See you on the battlefield. That's the attitude infantry take that makes synergy. My AV weapon is my tank, if I see another tank I want to use it.

AV grenades are recommended. AV mines can turn a hasty retreat into flaming death. A Forge Heavy can hold his own with a sidearm. It feels overwhelming at first, but you just have to plan to encounter Tanks - it's that simple. So give up on OHK nades that leaves you at a significant disadvantage someone who does have them to combat a vehicle that might or might not come? Oh and you have to count or someone else also having AV nades as well, or you might as well not be carrying them in the first place. Oh while of course dodging the Proto suits and the tanker who will kill you before you get close. Oh and if there are multiple tanks covering each other you might as well not be carrying them in the first place. So tankers using teamwork is overpowered, and unfair. It's unfair for us to cover each other with whatever means we have available. Got it. Fair in anything else but Ambush because of the limited clone supply, the objective being to deplete them, the inability to switch suits, and the small maps preventing long-term retreats. You can and have a good chance of winning in any other mode with enemy tank(s) still online. Good luck winning with tank(s) still online in Ambush . But in those larger maps AV is harder to spot and kill. Why are my sociopathic tendencies being denied me because of my armoured skin and tracked feet? I need to eat those AVers alive.

Hopefully do enough damage to at least scare the tank off. Always at risk vs infantry, but might save more clones that way. No vehicles, come back as assault. Will try that till I get my smg skills up, then might be able to stay av. Also play around with forge like a previous post suggested. I wish you were in PAUX as the first Kamiera....
