Yes the militia tanks are pretty easy to kill if your outnumbered by tankers I don't know why anyone would think the most logical thing to do is run a tank. You can only effectively shoot one target at a time why go head to head with a pack of tanks.

Because of the challenge, because it's entertaining, because laying an ambush in the hopes of catching people out is more fun to me than hiding in the red line or charging at people holding the trigger down *shrugs*

Sigh, that match was horrible though, first I thought there was one tanker, then on the left another appears, I back up and theres one behind me. Didn't expect that, then I rush up and kill one in my new tank, activate my hardener, get shot, activate booster, accidently de-activate hardener instead of booster, die. 3rd and 4th tank wasn't as bad lol

Well you said you do it because its challenging and entertaining but you made this thread to complain about it? I would really like to team up with you in a match. If Avers we to change the way they play the game these tank convoys would not last. There are 3 turrets on a tank for a reason and in 1.6 those 3 turrets were vital tanking alone got you killed and losing 4 tanks cost far more than 2 million isk which I'm sure you're aware. Strategically these players can be eliminated you have 3 sets of RE explosives 4 RE's will blow up any tank without its hardeners on maybe 3. If I played a round in your squad id be your ace in the hole.

Nerf Militia Tanks tag teaming me with damage mods, THEY JUST KEEP COMING, the waves sir, the waves, they were endless, just tanks and tanks and tanks, I tried to compete but no AVers wanted to help, they just ran assault rifles and left me to deal with all of them. Q_Q As a note, AV is still appreciated and hurts like a biaaatch, aslong as you're not running **** fits, ya'll could've been mauling these endless militia tanks with me and not costing me a shitton of ISK, thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I killed the bastards, just if I had a graph showing my ISK ratio, It would look awful. Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: Run AV? The swarm launcher with laughable range, small clips, and barely any damage? The forge gun on the gimped heavy suit with a long charge time and meh damage? The plasma cannon which is simply awful? The AV grenades which are almost completely ineffective? The remote explosives which get you banned from FW or are generally quite situational? Yeah, you can deal with the tank spam on your own. Get in close and hit them, managed to push back tanks with just CBRs and dam mods. Long charge time? LONG CHARGE TIME? You get the ** out, I keep getting hammered, some chick was going through my shields with hardeners on and I had to run, with them still on. Needs further buffing, won't diagree with you there. Don't need you jihading either lmao. I wasn't asking for you to solo them, I stating I need to get myself a single AVer to go "SURPRISE" and make the tanks activate their hardeners, that'd be nice. If we had the AVers we did prior to 1.7 would be a lot easier :D TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR wrote: maybe those MLT tanks WERE the AV the other team used to take you out. it's common knowledge that MLT tanks and jihad jeeps are now the best AV. No , which is why if I had a single AVer to simply force them to harden before I ambushed them, I wouldn't be nursing a 2mil hole in my wallet xD Monkey MAC wrote:** Put it this way 90k isk Sica, mlt shield hardner, mlt shield booster, railgun expansion unit! I take down proto tanks like Paper! Proto Av, got shot once lost shields, hardened up, boosted shields, survived two full volleys, bugged out with 30% remaing 30 secs later! So, if it's near 100k, I guess I shouldn't feel too bad, 800k for my 2mil isn't a "great loss" I s'pose.. xD King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire.

Wasn't as much complaining as telling my story, about how the militia tanks used teamwork to take down myself, and not trying to sound like boasting, am not the easiest of targets to kill, it was also a thing to type to remind myself not to be "angry" about dying but more a reminder that I need AVers to help me lol King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire.

If I had a graph showing my isk, it would flatline around 16-17mil....my proto commando fit costs 195k.....and assault dropshiping didn't help the cash flow either.....now that vehicles are slightly OP......I really regret dropping vehicles. But you must admit, having more than 2 tanks on an enemy team is just a tad ridiculous...... I meant more of a ratio in a battle, you know ISK lost vs ISK destroyed. ;) Nope, I disagree, if anything I want more vehicles, more players, 128 v 128 with 32 vehicle limits would be a lot of fun. :D MOAR ALL THE THINGS King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire.

Not a chance, I will pay for my tank because iirc the things you destroy affect the payout, I don't feel AVers get enough from points and ISK as it is, if they kill me they deserve all 500k of it into the ISK pool.
