But I have always had good games in tanks. 20/2 isn't hard on foot either.
I was better back in 1.6 than I am now, except that I am taking down more HAV per game these days which I like.

The problem is that ANYONE can go 20/2 in a tank. I doubt CCP intended some ppl to play DUST in godmode.

Anyone can got 20/2 on foot does that make my rail rifle, scanner, Amarr Assault, Assault Scrambler Pistol, Enhanced Armour modules, etc OP?

I am living proof that any scrub on foot can do better than two tanks.....infact I proved that tonight against 8213 and the Big Bad Wolves who are pretty good players IMO ......and I am the worst infantryman this game has ever seen.

Now when I get into a tank.....I am always upwards of 15 kills for 0 deaths, I am a better tanker than most people, not the best mind you, but pretty good, it when the enemy steps up and brings out HAV and AV teams that I start to run into trouble.

I was grinding ISK on my 1.6m SP alt today. 100k SP into tanks. I used a Soma in an otherwise pretty equal Skirmish. I went 39/3 with 3000 WP, popped several enemy tanks and they had a full squad of AV that couldn't do jack all. I just went in circles, popping everything and everyone.

That was a pretty good game for me, I'll admit. Still, I feel they are very much OP at the moment. When was the last time I went 39/3 with 3000 WP in a militia suit? Not any time within recent memory. There's a real risk when I engage someone that I will get killed. In my tank with it's shiny instant death near unlimited range Blaster, there is no risk in a good tank, unless another STD tank tries to pop me. With militia tanks, I need to worry about Forge Guns and several Swarm Launchers at once hitting me at once. Other than that, as long as I do a few circles I'm golden. Don't even get me started on Ambush where I consistently get 20+ kills with no deaths in 50 clone matches unless the enemy stomps my tank with another tank.

No.

If the enemy has seven good tanks then they will clone you.
DEFEAT.
End of story.
EDIT: First death was to a Rail Gun installation, unmanned, that popped me right at the start. I killed it. 2nd was because the supply depot glitched and wouldn't give me ammo, got stuck on a concrete barrier as I was circling around it praying for it to unglitch. 3rd was on the ground at the end when I stopped tanking after that.

I get you on some level but I mean I can also walk into pub matches on foot which is not my usual style and score high kill games and not loose suits, Tanks are just big, and have the big guns, and its easy to blame them for a loss, you forget it doesn't matter how many tanks the enemy has in skirmish or dom if they don't have the infantry they wont capture the points....

Sometimes it just a matter of manning up and holding down the point to win the match.

Frankly speaking after my stints in Amarr FW I would rather win games and go ISK negative than loose them and remain ISK positive no matter how well I do in match.
