Can anyone tell me why these people feel the need to shoot at a tank that hasn't even seen him or his friends yet with anti-infantry weapons? Surely there is some good reasoning for using ineffective weapons against tanks, I just can't imagine what it is.

When I fly my Incubus, they do the same thing. When I start to hunt them, they shoot me more. I think some people play this game just so they can die... |

I do it because HAVs pilots are like "Herpa! Derpa infantry derpin' derp!" and then they follow me... and suddenly explode, because I played off the fact that they will follow me and that they would stroll right over a love bed of R/Es.

this... or because it winds up the tank driver when we can shoot him and with all his godly powers he gets defeated by a wall we are behind.

So everyone just assumes that tankers have shiny syndrome and go for anything that shoots them? lol That explains a lot.

When my squad gets pinned behind somewhere, I shoot the tank to divert it's attention so the squad can get away. It works 99% of the time lmfao

Hey it works ..... I've had many a tank roll right by me and my double modded Forge when a couple of squadmates got his attention exposing his big fat rear to me,

I do it for various reasons.
Sometimes I like to add in small DPS when a tank or AV is attacking the vehicle.
Sometimes I try to distract them...lol
Other times I'm just toying with them because it's so easy to play with a tank when they're not built for anti-infantry. Excuse me if you don't giggle when you jump onto an enemy tank and ride it like a surfboard, like I do.

I shot (MLT AR) at a (Blaster) HAV that was headed toward an objective my team was hacking to distract him long enough for the hack to be completed. He turned to try to get an easy kill on me and I danced around obstacles between him and me for 30 seconds. Then Another (Rail) HAV showed up and tried to help him out and I danced around both of them for an additional 30 seconds before finally being killed (Free MLT Suit) My team got the hack and the enemy was unsupported trying to retake the objective for a full minute because of my shooting at the HAV with anti infantry Weapon and occupying 2 HAV's attention
nothing to see here ... move along

This is actually kind of interesting and enlightening. See, I hadn't thought of some of this. I am a casual tanker with a full-time tankerholic alt. I love tanks as a nice reprieve from frontlining. When I run HAVs, I usually go blaster, so taking out infantry isn't too difficult. If a target eludes me or begins to present a distraction, I just move on. When I go railgun these rules apply even more.
Lessons learned: 1. Many bad tankers on Dust give all tankers a bad rep. 2. Smart tankers will benefit from bad rep. 3. Smart infantry will benefit from bad tankers.
So much psychology in this game.. lol

In my tank I make it a point to ignore small arms fire, outside of it shooting HAVs has lured them into RE's. All the action was on the other side of the map from my trap and I just kept plinking at him till I see his turret turn to look at me. Sure enough he heads right on over.

When I run my AT-Tank I ride through enemy lines,sometimes over the corpses of redberries who where to stupid to get out of my way, in search of enemy tanks. Most games I'm not even hunting infantry yet they all want to shoot at me, So I then just sit there in the middle of reds not moving or responding to their attacks. It's really fun to toy with the enemy.
Thanks CCP Foxfour

I do that if I see friendly is close to a enemy Tank to get his/her attention so they can snick in/out but beside
