We're not meant to be going at eachother on the forums and drawing up a line between AV and Vehicles, or Scouts and Heavies, or Dropships vs Tanks etc, we're meant to work together and fulfill roles. Instead of coming to the forums and whining about a tank, how about you mail a tanker? Instead of coming on here whining about a dropship flying around, speak to an AVer or a Dropship pilot to help you out. Your team isn't coordinated and isn't winning? Make some friends with Infantry players.

Fact is we're meant to all help each other, not just infantry with infantry and vehicles with vehicles, I know it's easier to go with the people you know, I mean I do it, if I'm having trouble with tank spam, which some of us will find does happen, I ask a rail tanker to assist me, usually pegasis or lorhak, if I need Infantry because we're just not pushing, I'll find some friends.

Use the tankers to push or kill tanks, if you're working with a good tanker tell him what to do, chances are, if we're in a squad we're just trying to be helpful. If you've got AVers, ask them to position themselves somewhere with cover and to keep an area locked down. If you've got Infantry ask them to push a point and secure it.

Go with a mix, let's say a Dropship Pilot, a Tanker, a Forge Gunner, and three infantry, you've got a squad capable of pushing up and really laying into an enemy fine. Get the Tanker as a rail to guard against rail tanks, once he's in position get the dropship to put you on a high position near an objective, the forge stays the Infantry lay links and hit the objective, Dropship stays up as recon/distraction, tank switches to blaster and pushes with Infantry, Tank stays on point once clear and Infantry push up. If it's a struggle tank moves on and assists and then falls back to his point, Forge continuously moves up to support.

What a lovely game.

useless laser, useless nova knifes, useless shotgun, useless mk-0, useless md...........

Meanwhile, the jacks of all trades like myself are the ones actually doing something other than catering to an ego. I almost had a (metaphorical) stroke earlier in FW because no one would push. Out of three factions (I stay out of Caldari), each and every team I was getting put one were spineless cowards. I can't push by myself anymore. There's too much ganging going on for me to do so. If my team is too afraid to go forward, I'll try to do what I can, but I can only do so much. Meanwhile, as we few break our (metaphorical) back, we have the little * rolling around in HAVs, too afraid to get out of them to contribute to something more. "But you need a HAV to kill a HAV!" Bullshit. I can kill them with six R/Es, a PM (proximity mine) and a goddamn AR. I don't want to hear that . I'm tired of the cowardice and the excuses people are trying to make. **! Can I tank for you sir? xD King of the Forums // Vehicle Specialist for Hire. Buffing or Debuffing Vehicles or AV will never fix anything.
