I have adapted my tactics a bit as I have an alt that is a tanker and am learning strengths and weaknesses of them.
Was in a match today with "743" I believe their name was who had a squad on the enemy team and I had two of my fellow 25mil sp players with me and one new player and an alliance member, also a fresh recruit.
It was a domination with A in the middle with the tabletop right over it. The tank spam was ridiculous, they started with three and took the letter and held it until our MCC shields went down, not good. We worked our asses off to get the letter and "bang", five tanks on the field, fantastic. I switch to my proto swarms, a couple dozen well placed remotes in a kill box, an advanced forge gun, helll even our sniper grabbed starter fit AV and helped out.
Long story short, we took out 9 tanks, 1 maddy, 1 logi, 7 sica's and soma's, held the letter, won the match, never took out a tank. Great come from behind victory even though they weren't top teir tankers they fought like hell.
Situational awareness on my part made that happen, the tanks had to get close to the letter to get us as we didn't have any of our own tanks on the field, told my squad very clearly how to defend that letter, and even the blues caught on to what we were doing "AMAZINGLY" a few were on team chat and dealt with the infantry.
It is possible under certain situations, on a more open map that tactic would not have worked. Killing tanks is very possible you just have to work for it and think a little.

Killing tanks is very possible you just have to work for it and think a little. you must have had infantry support beyond AV. Or their blueberries didn't push. we went into an ambush late. It was 61-79 when we got there. Our blueberries were getting hosed. I sacrificed a boss tank to push their tankers back. In the mean time truck and jams got their tanks in. Once we had a muster point we mopped up their tanks and pushed them back into cover. Our blueberries were still a non factor. It was their entire team as AV and our 3guys in tanks. It came down to one clone. There are battles all the time where a decision can make or break the outcome. For everything else there is tanks. Their infantry was pushing but not hard, as I said I got lucky and had some blues on team chat that worked on their infantry so me josh brent and attimus could work on the tanks. Hard road but it is possible, actually took out a maddy and 2 soma's this morning with a sica, good times.
