DUST Search - What Makes You A Tanker?

many, many people assume that they just hop into a tank and suddenly they are a god invincible and omnipotent. that isn't the case.

Atiim, no offense but you have built up a bad rep with a lot of tankers. we don't want to be OP and your sarcastic pro AV stance isn't appreciated. back in 1.6 you made threads about how hard to kill tanks were, tanks were paper thin and a massive nerf from chrome caused a lot of people(myself included) to spec out of tanks. we got pummeled by the new build and you were saying that it wasn't enough, you didn't make any friends by doing that. I think I speak for a number of others when I say your forum posts regarding tank balance are bad, and there are a lot of them. put plainly you often fail to represent tankers interests... consistently.

our interests:
maintaining control of our vehicle
ensuring that a tank feels like a tank
creating a viable career of professional piloting
return on SP investment

you're "not a tanker" to the masses because to many it seems like you're out to get us.
sorry.

I run a wide variety of things - I'm not a logi, or a slayer, or a forger, or an HMG fatty. I have all these suits and roles available, several at proto level. I'm a tanker. That's what I do, that's my role. You are not. If I had to class you by your attitudes... I'd put you with IWS.

As stated this is a true tanker. Atiim face it you are not a tanker, if you think so then you would be a bad one lol. YOU have done nothing but call for tank nerfs and yet try and tell everyone you are a tanker. With your rep on the forums I really don't think anyone really gives a rats ass what you think any more. You are not only giving you but your entire corp a bad name with every post you seem to make. Oh also note like mentioned in the quote if you are redline rail tanking you are not a tanker period. Any idiot can turn on two militia dmg mods and two shot most tanks from the red line. yay you killed a tank worth all of 1/3 rd of my other characters proto suit lol since most wanna be tankers are in the new FOTM militia tanks. Us true tankers though take enjoyment in every militia tank we destroy. I COULD run militia but i DON'T as I have pride in being a tanker, and it is very rare you will ever see me in a militia tank. (Really really bad games usuaully lol, like when it's 4 on 1 tank wise) :p albet though this thread isn't your typical troll thread at least, so I'll give you credit on this one. QQ MORE about tanks being OP. I will fuel my tank on your tears! (Yes Militia needs adjusted though lol)

With your rep on the forums I really don't think anyone really gives a rats ass what you think any more. You are not only giving you but your entire corp a bad name with every post you seem to make. I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. If you can link to a post of me saying that I want vehicles nerfed (pre 1.7) then I will personally go throughout my entire wallet and refund the ISK of every vehicle I have ever destroyed. Despite your opinoin of my posts on the forum in regards to V/AV balance, I do believe that Living Like Larry Schwag is doing even better than ever before. Despite the opinion of very small part of the DUST 514 community, Living Like Larry Schwag has been, and shall continue to thrive. (As far as I'm concerned, non-meduim frames without a rifle can be considered minority of this community, hence the widely used FoTMs) Also, you say that I'm not a tanker, yet everything that SGT NOVA STAR said could be applied to me (except maybe that last part). If the ability to take on 3-4 other tanks and win, while also not being WTFpwned by AV didn't make me a tanker, then I don't know what would.

You say that if you are redline railing, then you aren't a tanker; yet you also refuse to believe that real, actually dedicated AV didn't hide behind the redline or abused the 400m lock range. As for that last comment, you can call my posts a troll if you wish. It won't make what I'm saying any less true or false, nor will it prove to do anything constructive at all.

As of 1.7, If somebody has even a remote clue of what they are doing, then they can easily become "god invincible and omnipotent". And that's one of the main problems with Uprisng 1.7. I didn't make threads about how hard to kill tanks were. I made threads about how hard a good tank pilot can be to kill. I also made no attempts to hide the fact that 1.6 vehicles did need a slight buff. Especially the Gunnlogi. When did I ever say that AV needed a buff in 1.6? AV's Intrests: The ability to solo a solo pilot. Ensuring that AV is actually Anti-Vehicle The creation of a viable career of professional AV (seriously though. It needs it's own tree) I know why the vast majority of tankers don't see me as a tanker. What I wanted to know was, what does make a tanker then. Most hated person since Lueko and Checkmate
