DUST Search - Helpless little infantry

I love how experienced tankers are saying MLT tanks are the problem. It shows a lack of integrity. Many have taken the stance of claiming to not kill infantry. They are trying to pin the blame on the ability to call in cheap MLT tanks.

lets ask a few questions.

what do you think is going to happen to the price of STD tanks if MLT goes up?

How will nerfing MLT tanks help the fact that AV can't effectively counter tanks?

what are these crusaders going to shoot at when there are no MLT tanks?

if it takes 3 AV to deal with a tank and there are 3tanks, how many are left to fight the other 13 guys on the ground?

Do people honestly believe the smoke screen these skilled tankers are putting up?

Be honest here because I play both sides. How many rail tanks does it take to stop vehicles from coming in?

If you don't have a skilled tanker how will you deal with another skilled tanker?

IMO these guys are incapable of seeing anything beyond their own turret. Its the tanking mentality. I have it too. When another tank on my team gets popped in always thinking "better him than me". I think this is something like that. What they do not realize is it will be more like "first him then me".

one more question.

After you get rid of your scapegoat, what will you hide behind?

I personally believe we will then have a crusade against OP tanks and it will come down to buffing AV. Its obvious really. So we see the tankers care nothing for the infantry they are now painting as the victim. They are just buying time until CCP gives us the means to defend ourselves. Its all very short sighted.

a final question. Why wait for balance?

Its all very short sighted. a final question. Why wait for balance? MLT tanks are too cheap, but obviously they are not to blame for why AV is struggling. You can make some very cheap STD tanks. My cheapest costs 160k and is extremely durable against AV; I can sit there for a minute and a half and eat everything thrown at me by 2-3 AV guys and laugh as I blow them away. So, the price of all tanks is a problem, combined with how many can be fielded. Beyond that, all infantry AV is effective against armor, making cycled shield hardener tanks almost impossible to take down. Armor tanks are also pretty good against AV and a double rep, single hardened Madrugar is very difficult to pop, although a bit easier than a well fit shield tank. TvT is basically taking both tank's DPS, multiplying by resistance, subtracting repair and then dividing that into total HP to see who will die first, with preempts adding several seconds of free damage, usually while the target is unhardened.
