just played an ambush in which my team spammed the **** outta blaster tanks and were in no time at all thrashed by 1 railgun and 1 assault forgegunner, joining in on the fun i called in a mlt blaster tank and was then blown to hell in about 1 minute from 2 guys throwing AV nades and swarms , sooooooooo i guess it was because tanks are so *OP* that my team lost? seriously you people need to stop the crying just because your not slaying everything with a assault rifle Cool

I'm sorry that your crappy tanks with crappy fits all got popped. I pop most rail tanks with ease in my Soma, provided they don't get me from behind or stay in the red line, both of which are unlikely in Ambush. If 1 RG and 1 FG can take out 7 Somas, your team sucks, because I usually have that on my one Soma, especially if you count rail Sicas. My last Nyain San match had a hell of a lot of enemy rail tanks dropping everyone against our blaster Somas and rail Sicas and we still won by a good margin. Most teams don't even have that many pilots.

Coordinated AV can definitely drop my Soma; I still think it takes far more coordination when it takes a whole squad. My Gunnlogi? No. It's pretty much impossible to kill without tank support unless you nuke it with several synched FG shots and explosives. I don't think I've ever died in my Gunnlogi to a FG or Swarms with my hardener running without either the full enemy team firing at me all at once or me being pelted by other tanks and installations at the same time. It only costs 160k; really breaking the bank. I die all the time, but rarely because of infantry.

As for "deploy other tanks," this is because most tanks are crappy militia tanks and poorly fit standard tanks that are easily popped by anything that this works. When you pull out 7 tanks the enemy either needs better tanks, you to be a moron consistently or them to have high level rail tanks. There's not a Bob on every enemy team with 3 amps and an accelerator, I'm sorry.

As a role, tanks are OP. If tanks were a form of infantry, everyone would agree. As cheap as suits, 100 times stronger and faster. The only negative is that they are big and easy to hit, like a Heavy on drugs. The match should not be decided by how many of your teammates chose tanking as their role. Are matches decided by how many Scouts the enemy has? Does the enemy need as many Scouts as you do and if you have 6 Scouts you win 95% of matches?

Real men use jeeps with a light sprinkling if REs on the front to eliminate tanks.

Only way to guarantee a 100% death rate of a tank. 1 shot. 1-3 kills.

This. If I die to AV with hardeners up and I'm not engaged in TvT, it's because a LAV just rammed REs into my rear.
