This may just become common practice and may create the special bubble needed for infantry vs vehicles. That the vehicles are more worried about their own affairs and infantry worried about theirs. Just having that bubble popped is going to leave your posterior sore because you have nothing to scare the tanks away which is something I would like to see returned to a degree instead of laughing it off.

We should push to have ccp try to make their match-maker attempt to put a mix of infantry and vehicle guys into both teams. If they would (or do store) the information from every match such as vehicles use and kills gotten, I'm positive they could come up with a system that attempts to allocate a few vehicle guys for every match.

This way, when the match-maker succeeds, there will be infantry and vehicle battles going on in their respective areas. The tank may win its battle to go pew at infantry until the butt-hurt tank comes back for revenges to steal him away from the poor reds.

ive mentioned stuff like this in countless threads. im happy to see its not just me seeing this.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 11236	Posted - 2013.12.13 07:59:00 - [4] - Quote The reason being that one team has likely deployed with the mindset in destroying tanks. Thus one cannot go anti infantry against anti-tank fits it just doesnt work. Blasters do about half damage a semi decent trail or missile fit will tear you a new one even if the first two vollies manage to not kill you.

David Spd Caldari State 115	Posted - 2013.12.13 13:32:00 - [12] - Quote I've been noticig this a lot. I'm infantry only (not enough SP to invest in good AA weapons) but lately it seems like a lot of tankers are off doing their own thing. Pretty damn funny looking at the map waiting on respawn to see anti-infantry tanks flooring it in the opposite direction from AA tank. They usually make a pass at infantry only to get chased off again.... I loathe vehicles with a passion but since AA tankers do a good job of chasing them off I can tolerate a couple tanks roaming around taking potshots at us. Pleasantly surprised how things are goung. With the amount of people in vehicles (actually contributing) I think it's safe to say most pilots are pleased too... --> I'm a closed beta vet; I just don't post often <-- "Other people just complicate my life." ~Solid Snake

I have never said this, twisting words in your favor just shows how desperate you are. what I have said is when you pay attention you are practically immune to infantry, which is completely different.

Jason Pearson 3336	Posted - 2013.12.13 13:58:00 - [20] - Quote Aye is true, honestly get a little rush from fighting other Tanks, and with Miltia being able to match us when in actives, it's even more satisfying because it's my skill going against theirs, movements, hitting the weakpoints, timings, ramming, it's all great fun. I will keep saying this, I've never had more fun in this game than going up against 3 Tanks vs my 1 and winning, stomping Infantry is all well and good but it's nothing like this. Not only this, but we want to win, and we know how easily other tanks can switch out with a blaster and be a real pain, it's our job to be a pain for the other team, and help our own out.

Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 834	Posted - 2013.12.13 14:28:00 - [27] - Quote This is why tanks vs AV aren't the problem. One team not fielding tanks is the problem. There will be tanks. Might as well field them on both sides. Tanks must deal with the enemy tanks first. Otherwise, there will be trouble. By having tanks to counter tanks the infantry can get its job done and not have to worry about tanks. Rail trumps missiles trumps blaster. Both gal and cal can field rails. Even a cheap mil rail can keep a tank at bay or deny it an area. Do your part. Join the revolution. Sabotage FW. Help this game burn! BURN DUST 2014
pegasis prime BIG BAD W0LVES 1416	Posted - 2013.12.13 14:47:00 - [28] - Quote When im out tanking and another tank hits the field they automatically become my priority target. That's what tankers live for killing other tanks. Today my co gunner Markofdeath and myself chewed through 7 armour tanks and 2 shield havs all within 150m ( 3 of them maddys and 2 gunlogis with 4 somas ) obviously not all at the same time , we were facing off 3 tankers ( I didn't recognise them) and only 2 of which seemed to be coordinating , Thankfully I fitted small rails to my anti tank build as they really up the dps. I lost 1 gunlogi to their 9 tanks on that battle thanks to my co gunner if he wasn't map reading and laying down supporting fire then they would have taken allot more than 1 tank of me. This was in a cal faction on the impact ridge map with the listening out post socket in the center. (one of my favourite tank maps ) the lesson to be learned here is the value of co gunners especially in tank v tank combat, Its gone from suck .....to blow level 1 forum warrior

That's what I loved about Chromosome. Tanks needed infantry to protect them from infantry, infantry needed tanks to protect them from tanks. If I am totally honest, I could spend the entire match fighting other tanks and not once shooting enemy infantry. Of course, my friendly infantry usually aren't too thrilled with that so I have to take a few shots at enemy infantry while the other team calls another tank in.
