Well you have corps like Nyan San (is that how it's spelled?) who pretty much dominate the field with their tanks, because those guys stick to each other like white on rice. Tag team tank buddies seem like broken hax, but working together is getting them insane results. They were like that before though. I'm slowly compiling a list of players that I don't bother fielding a tank against, when they're on the field.
For Ambush games, one thing I've definitely noticed is that experienced AV players have become awesome at bunkering down where tanks can't reach them, and burning them up. Cocky tankers just sit there with hardeners up, spamming blaster shots over and over again, while the guy who just coated them with RE's is patiently waiting for them to stop glowing. |

Somas and Sicas are warm garbage. Unless they have a railgun. Then, they're ******* motherfucking **** **** **** fuckin **** ******* **** **** annoying.
Having only recently switched to shield tanking, it's taken some adjusting to get used to how much rail guns and rail turrets hurt. Even been chased across the map by a sica? It is humiliating. |

That's right, Attim. You can make a tiny investment of SP and money, and immediately field a weapon capable of destroying more expensive vehicles from a safe distance where they can't see you. In other words, what AV players have been doing since February of this year.
So what's the difference? |

meh. av was easy mode before. sit on a hill kill tank in seconds. lose millions of isk to a cheap ass suit.
i guess it's the tanks turn to be a bit OP. :D
Are tanks OP, though? Not counting that ghetto militia nitro, I feel strong in my tank but hardly invincible. I've got excellent defenses against infantry (which is why I spec'd into tanks to begin with, to quit dying so much) but with a missile turret, it's not like I'm reaping the harvest. I get the majority of my points from blowing up other vehicles and installations. AV players can and do push me back, and I get blown up when I make a bad decision, and they make a good one.
So yeah, I'm having fun, but I'm hardly T-rexing. Hell, I feel essential, because I feel like a solid line of defense protecting my team from blood-crazed serial killers in blaster maddys. |

And those that went into tanks for that very reason are the REASON WHY I MADE MY TEKKAMAN AV SUIT. And your the topic of my stance against tanks. Nothing personal mate.
I can't go into a mmo and pawn lv60 mmo players. But someone can just get into a tank and kill 10 FPS players before losing that tank. Doesn't sit right with me.
But you dude, have earned my respect for admitting to that. Much respect dude.
Heh, thanks. It's the truth, though. I freely admit my gun game is balls. I'm only useful for going against other tanks and blowing up empty installations. |

Swarms were never a threat to my Incubus so long as I moved around a bit, now they're a joke to me. They also bug out wicked weird, though I haven't caught it on camera yet, they just spin around my ship in circles and don't hit me for anywhere from a few seconds to almost half a minute. It looked really cool though >_<
Swarms need faster travel time now, at the absolute least.
Still with us, DF? Good to hear, you seemed really bummed out before. Did you switch to a missile fit for your boat? |

Why are you in ambush? Objectives too difficult for you?
Spkr, don't be a d-ick. I play ambush in starter infantry fits for money. I'll call my tank out in maybe one game out of ten.
Fun fact: Skirmish has a higher than likely chance to be a complete waste of time because even if your tanks are playing well, no one hacks the stupid objectives. I've lost three tanks over the course of a few games because I got impatient and started capping them myself. Yeah, Skirmish is suuuuch a step up. |
