Tanks pose very little threat to a person with a decent train of thought.
Im so drunk right now I can barely aim my rail rifle and ive killed three tanks in faction war for caldari tonight. Idk who those people were, or if they were friendly or not but as i havent been banned im assuming theiy were nt blue's.
Seriously, learn to avoid the tanks or quitcha bitchin about where they are...
On a side note, whiskey + railrifle = alot of laughs wondering why you cant hit them.

It is amazing how often tanks are just fixated on looking 1 direction. Tank speed seems pretty good now, imo.
I have been doing all that for several months now. In fact, my fave fit is adv swarm, AV nade and submachine gun. I did harm to tanks before, and occasionally took one out.
Now? There's so damn many tanks that it's ridiculous. I just run from point to point, take it and go. When I shoot one, they harden up and run away, while their 3 friends come in. I don't mind dealing with a few tanks, I really don't. It's just...boring.
I want a tight gun game, and to have fun. I want to exploit weaknesses.
Maybe if I could empty my swarm payload quickly...but they get thumped once, and then I better have cover because I'll die. It's ridiculous.
I don't blame tankers for using what CCP has given them. I just want a game that is a bit more welcoming. Last example: I play gunner a lot, and in an ambush today I killed one guy...as the next spawned in to die, and then next and the next...I ran out of ammo because they kept leaping like lemmings in. I didn't intend to camp, but who would deny being fed points? I'll bet those guys were ticked, though. We didn't really get touched, and we sat there.
Because this is a game, there has to be some sort of "fairness" that isn't inherent in the real world. That "fairness" happens, and suddenly we are having fun, win or lose.

Hi! Gosh, I've missed you...with every bullet, plasma shot, rail gun, and missile.

It's simply not fun Don't bother with us, we will kill each other first and foremost....just run and hide if your teams tanks loose.....
Lol worst advise ever.
Yup avoid tanks... Let my blues get raped and lose the match great advise. NO!
If I don't help, we'll get demolished via the 6 tanks on enemy side.

You're aware the Rail Rifle is an infantry weapon, treated as small arms, and does so little damage to tanks that it gets literally ignored by them, right?
You're still drunk, aren't you?
Tanks as in HAVs, not just heavily-tanked Dropsuits. Unless you mean Railgun, which is a vehicle-mounted weapon and therefore not infantry AV, which is where people claim there is a problem. |

Course of games.
1 tanks go out to kill turrets to be able to roam freely. Only troopmovement is restricted if they get cought in a Dropship.
2 they kill other tanks and Av got work. Troops have got spawnpoints and objectives up and gotten a foothold.
3.A few roaming tanks might keep running around untill our ISK refunds run dry. Troops now got the immediate threat to nw tanks vs troops. Troops do the winning with group movement and mixing up av/anti personell weapons.
I would repeat again. I got 150 mill Isk to burn that I got refunded. So far I might lose 0-2mill on vehicles enjoying while the ISK last. People have to much monies to care if they lose tanks.
I called in 4 450k tanks to my squadmates to test out some protofitted tanks. None survived I think.
Anotyer fix might b: make every militia gear a bit worse worse in stats and not just cpu/pgu req. Leaving these "OP" rail sicas not so OP. Blaster tanks not able to hit that far and for far less damage so troop can take a few shots extra to flee or get an extra AV shot off? |

Well I don't expect you to follow it, I don't bother with tanks because its simple enough to hit the central objectives and control the internals of structures whenever I play on foot, then its just a matter of dropshipping to the next objective, taking it, and the extracting if possible to whichever point we can.
I figure in vehicles as fundamental aspects of any game, not just threats and add on content that ruins infantry combat, it focuses it and refines encounters into more epic experiences.
E.G- Saw a Soma milling about in the open, I remoted him and ran off feeling very self satisfied.
Another time I dropped from a Dropship onto the objective which had a tank present, we stacked up a well organised fall back point and uplinks, then dropped down into the objective on the opposite side the tank was one, captured it, and proceeded to hold the point until a friendly tanker pulled up, tried to run, anddrew the enemy tank off.
To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi.

Standing back and not saying anything about if this is working as intended? Get involved man because this tank spam is ruining the game.
Horrible I cant even play for 3 matches before i just Cant anymore. Call in your own MLT tank and clear them out? couple that with friendly AV fire? All are useful ideas. Same response from AV when they advised tankers to use support and not run solo. How did that work out for you?

I don't see how you can compare 1.6 to 1.7 since at 50 m you people were invisible you swarms could lock across half the map, and FG were so devastating one tower forgegunner killed the entire vehicle aspect of this game....
And yet somehow you guys were always managing to go 30/0 per match in spite of your terrible handicaps ... |

It's simply not fun
I find it fun personally.
However I agree tanks really have taken over dust. Its fine on the more urban type maps but on the open area ones it is a little crazy. |

HTFU and grow a spine. Get a crew of forge gunners or RE guys and go tank hunting.
Make tankers fear calling in a tank when you're facing them.
If you don't have the SP in the right places, save up and put it there.
Thats all well and good IF you skilled into being a heavy... however most mercenaries i run with are medium and light fit so to get CCP to do something maybe all non heavies should BOYCOTT THE GAME until they do something about it |

Learn to fight within the confines of buildings. I have seen a squadron of smart AV infantry use buildings as effective cover, negating the advantage of tanks. And yes, this is a squadron of 6 that actually held off 5-7 tanks of diverse types effectively. |
