to evade AV in time.
AV is effective, just 90% of the people who play Dust still are just bad in general, let alone something that requires a little planning.

Never played pc cuz it freezes my system, but thanks for making baseless assumptions.
Fg is the only AV weapon worth a damn, but against a full squad of tanks i4s marginally effective at best. Any not terrible tanker knows that forcing an AV switch is a win even before you start racking up the kills, add in the lack of cost and sp requirements and you get a game where tank drivers desperately claim that balance and skill is what makes them so good.
Some of us vets know better
You never played in any of the Zion vs OSG fights? Is there another member of OSG with DUST as the first part of their username?
A full squad of tanks obviously requires more than one person running AV, that is simple math. If someone attempts to solo four or more tanks, then they are deserving of the deaths they will take.
You don't force an AV switch, smart players come out looking for the tanks at the start of the match. I don't wait for three tanks to show up before I grab my forge, I bring it from the start and go for them. I don't let them get comfortable and established, I harass and harry them until they go pop.
If there is more than 2 tanks, I get some backup, either in the form of a logi to keep me stocked up and repped, or another AV troop to save us time.
If you run AV, given the current meta, it is a full time job, not a oh look a tank, here let me lob some fire and forget swarms at them and laugh as they explode as it used to be.
AV is not as hard as you scrubs make it sound. You just are really bad at playing the game, and instead of getting better you scream OP!

P.S. Im almost exclusively an incubus pilot because its fun and takes skill, and this game is a total joke right now, so why bother risking far more isk than any of these militia tanks floating around.
I know you feel skilled now, but bad balance is what's giving you the edge
I was saying that tanking wasn't that hard at the start of Uprising, and telling people like Charlotte to cut out all the complaining.
But of course, no one will remember that when these types of discussions are brought up. because it doesn't serve your view of all tankers being a single mass of people. A slight nerf to swarms and AV nades, a buff to the PLC and a fix to rendering would have made the old tanks fine.
These current tanks have actually driven me from the game. There is no skill in tanking now, no tactics save see the other guy first. Which is just boring. The recent patch ruined tanking in my eyes. Which is why Attorney doesn't log on for more than a match.
I would rather play on my heavy and have a challenge than laugh at idiots who don't know what they are doing try to run AV.
