My Creed.

1. I (PERSONNALLY) loathe playing a fps from behind the wheel of a tank.
2. I will try to keep tanks at bay even though I am not going to spec to AV. I want to kill other players not tanks.
3. I will use the hell outta me some installations to kill me some tanks.
4. I will fight for control of these installations if controlled by opponents.
5. I fully expect enemy tanks to try and take out enemy installations.
6. I like hack points and have spend half a million in hacking.

7. STOP BLOWING UP IN RANGE UNTAKEN INSTALLATION

8. I swear to God, if I am in the middle of hacking an installation and you dicks blow it up one more time for your 100 points I am going to take your name down and write you a very strongly worded letter and report you to my senator. So there.
9. Help me get the word out to everyone who plays the game and might not read the forums. Thanks.
10. Seriously though, I took out 3 enemy tanks from an installation on the other side of the map that was unbelievably not blown up by our own team within the first 2 mins of gameplay. I am trying to help our whole team out, not just my own self for points.
11. If you don't have faith in your team to stay in control of the installation you need to not bring out a tank.



Ok, I think I am all over the place there, but you guys get the point.

11. If you don't have faith in your team to stay in control of the installation you need to not bring out a tank.

Faith is not needed. It is demonstrated in almost every game that the team cannot take and keep installations. Thus the best solution is always to destroy them. As I will continue to do.

Side comment, that is related:

I think that gun/missile installations, should be just as difficult to blow up , as CRUs .

Giving then more defense than a freakin LAV, would seem to make sense to me.
They're a stationary installation. they should be *heavily* fortified!!
They should have at least twice as much HP as the most buff tank, IMO.

And the railguns should be able to instantly home in on any tank firing on them, and proceed to zap them into itty-bitty-tank-bits.
It's rather stupid how you can be "out of range" of a rail installation auto-return-firing at you, while not out of range of a tank railgun.

will post in requests forum as well, I think.

If I see an instalation I can kill, then it is dying. Those hundred points are meaningless to me. Not getting murdered because YOU leave the damn thing on autopilot the second your hack completes, or YOU stand there like a log "helping" until the enemy guts you and hacks it which jeopardizes my investment(my tank costs about 2-3 times a proto-suit)

Bottom line, the turrets always get red at the worst time. So blowing them up is an act of self defense. Sorry about your 50 points, but it means having an actual, specced out, kitted tank driver on your team, instead of a hackable, immobile, poorly placed, fairly weak turret. Which of those is more useful?

Well, here is the thing.

Teammate brings out tank.
Teammate blows up installation that is perceived as a threat later on
Enemy has stronger better tanks and kills teammates tank.
Teammate quits bringing out tank and switches to infantry.

Thanks.......

Fine, its not about points, its about worrying they will go red.
Your tanks do kill infantry right? I mean, I have been killed by them....


As far as CRU's go, don't get me started. You know how long it takes to RUN somewhere after you have blown them all up and lost our forward position and forced us to restart at our MCC? I mean ARE YOU TRYING to make the other side win?

Quill. Are you drunk?

So here's the thing... 2/3rd of weapon installations are only dangerous to tanks.
But you're complaining infantry should babysit the tanks??
You seem to have chain of responsability backwards.
If they're primarily dangerous to You,... then it's primarily YOUR responsability to protect them, not the infantry's.

If a blue turret turns red, it is thus primarily your fault, not the infantry's. Their priority is hacking objectives, not babysitting tanks.

Drunk, no.
Tired of my dropsuits getting blown up by enemy tanks (while seeing the tanker in question go 23/0) ? yes.

AV is almost useless.
Having to pull out our own tanks, is insulting at best, and impossible at worst, when for example, enemy has 3 tanks out, and our team is at limit due to random dropships and LAVs running around.

(or theres just no place safe to do so, due to enemy railtanks taking out Bolas deliveries)

On a side note, I went 17/3 on a blaster installation everyone forgot about against infantry. My rail rifle kept them off my back side, my advanced scanner kept giving me targets and being located in a depression between some buildings kept it safe. Installations are completely underrated by all players.

Where did I say that the infantry need to babysit my tank?

If I see an instalation I can kill, then it is dying. (....) Not getting murdered because YOU leave the damn thing on autopilot the second your hack completes, ...

Personally I always try to kill the CRUs as well. If the enemy wants to deploy somewhere else they can do so with uplinks. Most of my guys carry them so we do not need the CRU.


Blueberries can spawn on my links and give me points or run their happy asses from the other side of the map.
