Right here:



So according to you, it's the responsability of infantry to sit around protecting an installation they hacked, to protect your 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.

I don't care if there aren't any installations left on the map after 2 mins but if you blow up one that is unclaimed (not red), you better be staying in a tank for the duration of the match, not switching to infantry cause you got your ride blown up by a bigger better tank. You want to take away our defense, FINE, you ARE NOW our defense.

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.

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.

So here's the thing... 2/3rd of weapon installations are only dangerous to tanks.
But you're complaining infantry should babysit the tanks, by eliminating dangers to 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.
On a battlefield, a tank's responsability should be to protect the infantry. It's not the infantry's primary responsability to protect the tank.

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

if we can trust you to make sure that those turrets won't turn red then we' leave them be and let you have your WP and fun, but if there is even the slightest chance that those turrets can be turned agianst us, we'll annihilate them.

end of the day trust us to do our job (neutralizing enemy vehicles), and we'll trust you to do yours. and the turrets won't be needed after all.

You make some fairly nice speeches.. but at the end, I think you give away your true position: you want to just destroy all turrets.

It's one thing to go destroy "enemy" side turrets, to facilitate capture of the objectives near the enemy base.
Sad fact is, though.. most tankers start by destroying the unhacked FRIENDLY SIDE turrets.

Stop being WP hogs (and stop lying about it).

If you were sincere in all your talk about tactical significance, blah blah blah, then the first thing yhou would do in your tanks is go drive over to the other side of the map, and blow up installations THERE.
Not only does that help our side preserve defenses, but it also gets you engaging the enemy faster, and thus delaying them from taking objectives before we do!

But you dont do that, do you?. Instead, you blow up installations on our side first. Which both denies us additional ability to defend against enemy tanks, AND denies us the WP from hacking them.

Also, blasters near home objectives, can be very useful in defending the objectves, while you're out at who-knows-where.
So again.. strategically, you should be doing the exact opposite of what you're doing. You should be preserving home-side installations. instead, you blow them up. So quit lying about all your strategic claims

Blowing them up when they're red is one thing. But blowing them up when they're unclaimed, is just being a WP Tank514 jerk.

PS to Flix Keptick:
If your team is too incompetant to hold a CRU, then it's definitely too incompetant to deploy/defend uplinks. So dont even go there with your excuses.

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 they gave me -100WP, I'd still destroy them.

My Creed.


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.

The OP and others have a point, once your tank is destroyed there is nothing an infantryman can do about the enemy tank. AV right now is far too weak to be a serious threat.

Once a team has established tank supremacy you can hardly even get one called in and the infantryman can do nothing to help you. They can't drive the tank back nor can they provide cover for you because you removed all strategy from them.

Eventually we will be able to call in installations and then tankers/ADS are screwed...we need this sooner than later as a legit AV that is stationary. But the price will force you to defend it, unless they make them recallable.
