As soon as I heard of the sticky remote explosives I knew exactly what it entailed. This method isn't new, maybe to Dust it is. Anyway, I logged in today speccing back into tanks because this is my alt and I honestly don't care xD
Surprised to find that tanks are actually stronger than they were pre 1.7, a specific build I found repaired my armor 300 hp/s passively, at all times, made me as fast as a LAV via Complex Fusion Accelerator (whatever they call it now). Ran into proto AV all day long and none could solo me.
Tanks fights was more like 2 fats guys sparring with corn dogs, the winner being the one that beats the other to a mutilated, bloody pulp with such a soft, squishy weapon. In other words, tank fights will either end in AV finishing one of them off or one of the two running away with ALOT of time to react to how slowly their health was decreasing, slowly but surely.
So yeah, tanks OP (not to mention almost as cheap as a militia tank pre 1.7), AV over nerfed, everything needs another look. I haven't even touched the the funniest part yet.
Despite how unkillable tanks seem, they can and ARE being insta killed by Remote explosives being strapped onto a BPO LAV, with a BPO driver coming of out BPO nowhere. All of the isk variants, plus the Aurum variants slapped on the hood of everyone's favorite ride, then switch suits to a BPO suit in a supply depot, hop in and floor it towards the tank. This is called a Bunker Buster (at least by me, seemed fitting).
You can flank if you want, but I've found that the blaster turrets are pretty weak against other vehicles atm, and probably won't kill the LAV before it makes contact.
I brought this to everyones attention for the sole purpose that everyone WILL eventually find out and I'm tired of the whole process taking so damn long:
People find exploit>>>It goes viral>>>Lots of people use it on a regular occurence/a common sight>>>>Forum QQ>>>Maybe something gets done about it?
I personally find it hilarious and would have no remorse over using it. Its funny, effective, and best of all, free (isk wise, KDR will suffer slightly).
I would give some moral speech right about now about blueberrys taking the fight to the OP tankers and reign a new age, but its not a new age. Same old bull $%^# repackaged and labled balanced
Enjoy

It's an old tactic to strap explosives to a vehicle. I loved doing it in Battlefield. Except with a jet, because **** your jeep.

I was thinking you could slap a few REs onto the tank while it is in god mode, then wait for it to run and cool down.
Then you pop it remotely when it's over the hill and in its redline.
Is anyone doing that yet? |

No one has, but I've had the same dark thoughts. At least it takes more preparation and skill than ramming a tank. |

Another question, if shooting enemy REs causes then to blow, how will you remove them from your tank without causing damage, this could be really bad in FW for you guys.

I've been waiting to do this exact thing since I got my first (and only) RE kill on a tank

Interesting conundrum. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Do flux grenades cause REs to explode?

Indeed they do, learned that one the hard way.
Also, you don't remove them, you get out and recall it before the person holding the detonator notices and pray he doesn't. |

I can't wait for AV QQ us tankers finally overpowered you easy mode scrubs. A match or two ago my Gunnlogi survived 2 proto swarmers and an ADV AFG they must be pissed.

Are you guys just ramming your LAVs or getting out and detonating? I tried getting out and detonating but 3x REs didn't do the job. Maybe if I had two sets and detonated them in sequence it would work.
Planting remotes on an unsuspecting tank and AVing/REing has worked on Somas and Maddies for me so far. Hope it'll work on Gunnlogis too. |

i've only lost 3 pythons, first time was because 2 swarms in quick succession flipped my dropship over, and the other 2 times was that i was being tagged teamed by forge guns. dropships are in a good place right now.

They are using several swatches of RE, as the OP says they are using multiple variants (think Drop Uplink spam, but RE). As for destruction, they switch to a suit with no detonator. They go off because the RE on the bumper 'take damage' on impact, leading to a cascade of explosions.

Hmm but if it's collision detonation only, you don't get any points for it, do you? |

If you shoot my RE while standing on it, I get a kill. This is no different.

You do get WP for killing a tank by ramming it with remote explosives. It even says it in the killfeed that you killed him with a RE.

It would be nice to be able to get a mobility or weapons kill with an RE on the tracks or cannon.
Tankers will have to prevent infantry from getting close enough to plant REs because they won't get a warning as they would with AV grenades. The first explosion will be the last and they won't be able to run away from an attached RE and rep in safety.
OTOH the strategy would be thwarted if blues detonated the REs via gunfire before the tank went into Cooldown. |
