Didnt read much past the OP, so forgive me if im repeating.
To OP: you're either a bad tanker, or you dont use AV.
Yesterday my squad was running dom. The opposition had three tanks and 2 LAVs. Normally, i wouldnt switch to AV as Im much more usefull as a logi, but the tanks were tearin our team up, and i notived they were bad tankers, like really bad (one sat at our spawn and never moved, thought he dc'd till i realized he was still shooting.) So i switched to my proto swarms with adv AV nades. A squadmate was already running proto AV nades. It took our combined forces to take out the one (really bad) tanker and a LAV, and it took damn near the whole match. Less than a minute later, our tanker pulled out his tank, and destroyed every vehicle on the field in what seemed like seconds.
Moral here is, dedicating even one AV guy to hope he can take a bad tanker is just stupid when you can grab a tank and do it so much better. |

Not everyone has a caldari proto suit, cus thats the only way to solo a tanker.. try it in gallente and tell me its easy |

Moral here is, dedicating even one AV guy to hope he can take a bad tanker is just stupid when you can grab a tank and do it so much better. im both a good tanker, AND us infantry AV just killed some poor militia tank with a PLC you dont need to kill the tank, you just need to get it away form the objective your defending. the fact that you abandoned the game to follow a tank around makes you a bad player. now do YOU think you would of been able to kill off every tank ont he firld with a shitfit sica of your own? or would you of went BOOM and lost the objective you were defeneding with your squad while you did it? You do realize that a standard Plasma Cannon does more damage than Proto Swarm Launchers right? STD swarmer does 960 DMG (4x220) STD plasma deals less then a hundred damage more check your math also a swarmer does more against armor then any PLC does, weapon efficiancy matters :P i killed that tank within a minuite of it being called in, diddnt go chasing it around i waited at the objective i was defending and it came to me. then i dual fluxed and PLCed and BOOM, its not hard, it doesnt take effort and you dont even have to stop defending your base.
I can kill shield tanks with dual flux and a mass driver.. done it numerous times. The only point your proving is that shield tanks suck or flux are OP. Of course you can take out a tank with a PLC when it had a couple hundred armor...
Edit: if you read my post, the tank was at our spawn and never moved, so i never left the point to chase him... AV is bad and you should feel bad |

I can run a good AV fit ....
Minmatar Mk.o
Allotech Plasma Cannon
Lai Dai packed AV
Boundless RE/PE
Shield extenders in highs
Cardiac reg and CPU upgrade
If a tankers is a dumbass I can just about solo him, but the real problem is my suit costs 3x
more than most of the tanks out there......... So I have to take on a missile/blaster with a very high chance
of dying, and if I do it's a serious ISK sink
How the hell is an infantry fitting worth more than a tank?? even if I try to cheap out on things
It still costs 100k + .....
Tanks can kill proto suits so they should cost more ... and if that tank can kill a proto squad so it should cost
6 x 150k = 900k ... so I think If tankers want their OP vehicles they should be paying over that to set it up
Like this thread if you think HAV should cost 1,000,000 ISK minimum
Not to mention the crap payout you get for running AV. I double to triple the isk running logi over AV all match |
