Ansiiis The Trustworthy Ahrendee Mercenaries 495	Posted - 2013.12.10 20:15:00 - [1] - Quote If the other player is bad you have a chance of trying to drive behind him for 2 minutes to cleave trough the reps but if he's good it's all about trying to nitros by him to get a few shots in his rear. A good tanker won't be capable of killing an other tanker because they can just run away. Sworn Shield of Cat Merc.

If you are skilled into AV I'd be willing to squad up and destroy some tanks. I haven't been on today so I really don't know how effective my swarms are anymore vs tanks.

Aye, thankfully it's a bit more balanced now, come across lots of tankers trying to still use the Blaster for everything, is a very bad idea because then they lose to weapons that outclass them :) King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire Laugh at the idiots crying about four BPOs being removed erryday, lul

Aye, thankfully it's a bit more balanced now, come across lots of tankers trying to still use the Blaster for everything, is a very bad idea because then they lose to weapons that outclass them :) don't get me wrong I've killed 6 tanks in a short period of time today, and I like that even tankers with little SP can do their part. It is increasingly obvious how many tankers actually suck. I'm not saying I'm good just that it's easier to bait tankers now more than ever. Oh and is this how to fit a blaster madrugar now? 1 plate 1 hardener 1 repper a turret and a dmg mod? sometimes I change the plate for a second hardener. Sworn Shield of Cat Merc.

I, personally, wouldn't want that. My point was, that the blasters were undermining the missile and rail turrets.

This very thing happened to me my first match today! Buddy calls in a Rail Gunnlogi at the beginning of the match, proceeds to play around, but not being any real threat to anyone but the random blueberry that runs into his path. Meanwhile, i'm trying out my new CR fits (six kin CR is bonkers), but our team is starting to get proto-stomped badly. I eventually decide to call in my tank, test it out. Whip out my Blaster Gunnlogi, turn the corner from my spawn area, first thin i run into is an FG heavy. Try to kill him, but actually overheated my ion cannon before i could kill him. he has hit me with three FG blasts in a row at this time, so i activate my shield booster and try to high-tail it, but wouldn't you know it, i run right out in the open in front of mr. Rail Gunnlogi. Bam! two shots me. Respawn, call down another tank, he is camping the spawn area, trying to blast my tank while still attached to the RDV. He fails, i hop in my tank, sneak-a-peak around the corner to see him just sitting there waiting for me. So, i do the logical thing and go the long way around. I pull up behind him, and start unloading with my blaster turret, and he makes a run for it. I end up chasing him all over the map (tanks are pretty darn fast now), and literally just as the battle ends, i end up popping him, and the "Defeated: MCC Destroyed" screen pops up. It was a very fun and exhilarating experience. Kinda made me feel like a sneaky stealth predator pouncing and chasing down his prey. And to be honest, this may very well be my new favorite tactic, if it works out a few more times.

A good tanker won't be capable of killing an other tanker because they can just run away. Tell that to the attorney general and his madrugar buddy. My friend distracted them with swarms while i rolled up and blew them both up with full salvos of proto missiles. Tactics have changed. Adapt. (To be fair the general popped me earlier. Not trying to say I'm better than him) Also don't try and say the general isn't good ;)
