(Ok I'm fed up with this, please stop using excess line breaks in your posts.)

Really? I thought the mass diversity and the fact that everyone isn't a tryhard KD/R scrub is what kept this from becoming a CoD clone. You give yourself way too much credit.

And it's AV that prevents this from becoming TANK 514. And I expect a new release of "Wirykomi" 514 in the next update.

So while the grizzled veteran with 20k+ SP in tanks alone

And tanks are difficult?

Aside from redline AV and 2 idiots on high towers with IAFGs (who QQ about them simultaneously), tanks are quite possibly the easiest thing in the game right now.

Lets ignore that everything you listed infantry players have to worry about as well in addition to every other weapon in the game
Lets ignore that there are many real world single man portable weapons capable of destroying a MBT since this is a game
But lets focus on "One person should not be able to destroy a tank"
Tell me why you think that, "Because its a tank" is not an answer
Is it because of the SP investment? How about the fact that getting a weapon, modules, core skills and a frame to carry all that has a comparable cost but with more empty SP sinks with no benefit
Is it the ISK cost? If so then please explain to me why you support pay to win

Im all ears

Tell that to the nova knife scout and pretty much everyone not running ar.
I mean I took a miltia tank and killed a DS and its crew, within 3mins, the reason most people don't do tanks is because they haven't skilled, but it sure as hell is not the hardest class in the game!

Not the hardest class. They just take a lot of skill points (too many), and are too expensive.

The invisible swarms is a glitch that can only be fixed by CCP. And it is a glitch so you can't blame the user for it. I'm not gonna fire a warning shot at you to see whether or not my swarms are invisible.

You make a lot of assumptions. And yeah It takes way more than 650k to get any weapon at level 5/prof 5. try again. The Grenadier skill, the core skills it takes to even have enough CPU/PG to run the gear and have room for complex damage mods, the range amplifiers, the skill for a dropsuit itself is a decent SP sink within itself.

Complaining about not being able to destroy tanks? Almost all of my corp members carry PRO AV, so not destroying a tank is something that rarely happens.

I currently have around an equal amount of SP invested into AV and Tanks, and that SP was so easy to gain. (If 2 weeks could be considered easy).

Won't help on anything else? I find that hilarious because my armor regeneration, transporting, shield boosters and shield transporters also work on my Limbus and soon to be dropship. All vehicles share the exact same core skills (save for a few maybe). The skills can be useful for more than one thing, it's just that many tankers only use it on one thing.

I have no problem with getting WP for "scaring off" a tank. Just as long as it is given properly as opposed to "You chased of a tank, here's 5 WP."

Currently it's winner takes all, leading to the "You must die at all costs" mentality.

And I personally think that tanks cost way too much to be viable in it's current state, and with the supposed price of ADV and PRO tanks you can bet your @$$ that most of the playerbase will stay them. This game needs to stop catering to rich vets with 2B ISK and focus on the other 90% of it's players. HAVs truly do need a price debuff.

And my strongest AV suit costs 1/2 of the price of my HAV, so I can't really afford to die that much either.

I think 16x less is a bit of an exageration, we know you cost more, but what a lot of tankers forget, you might die once every few matches, but an infantry unit will die a few times every match, now a suit costs about 50,000+50,000+25,000+25,000+(6+ù5,000) ~ 200,000 per suit, there abouts now8w what that means in a public match if we die once, we pull in a profit of about 12,000 isk, but that is unlikely to happen. If we try to be AV for the majority of the match we can expect to die at least a dozen times, and half a dozen when we play as infantry.

I wouldn't consider myself as part of the Anti-Tank crowd, but I'll bite the apple anyway....

When have I ever said I want tanks to be OHKO'd by MLT swarms? When has anyone?

PRO AV is supposed to be super strong. Against PRO AV only the strongest of the the strong tanks should survive. It is PRO.

You assume that everyone here who's AV is bad at their role? You haven't even squared up with all of them (us).

As I've said before, I've never said nor implied that I want vehicles removed from the game. And I challenge anyone to state the contrary.

Don't resort to baseless claims and ad hominem. It just makes your arguments look weak.

Firstly, thank you for your contribution. However, I am never grateful for any allied tanker's assistance. More often than not, you destroy installations which are valuable to me for strategic advantage. You also harvest kills, which leaves fewer enemies for me to engage with (which is kinda the point of playing). And I don't play to win, I don't play for SP and I certainly don't play for K/D.

I play to play.

Also, you're complaints are quite interesting; Tankers have to put up with enemy tanks? I can't even comment on that politely. And you have a massive bullseye printed on you because you have an unbalanced ability to kill everything in sight - we need to get you down as quickly as possible and as you have clearly pointed out - it takes a large number of the opposing team to tackle you. I don't mind that, it inspires team work, but if the guns don't work then we'll need the whole team switching to AV just to kill one player.
