Redline rail sniping outside of pc isn't tanking, I don't care who you are....bad furry.it's a lifestyle. If you think you are, your probably not, just like I think I'm an assault guy sometimes, as much as I think I am , I'm not good on the ground and I accept it, I don't try to fool myself. This guy is a tanker... Anyone else like him is a tanker. Everyone else is just playing around.
Lol, I think he confused playing a video game with being a tanker. No, you are a nerd that wants to be badass with pixels and a joystick.

why are you asking a question when you preach the answer in any "how to kill tanks" thread Considering how you are using a dual tanked Gunnlogi with a Particle Accelerator, I believe that you are a tanker. That's like saying somebody's not a scout despite seeing them run a scout suit. But that's a different story.
The point of this thread is to say "Well, if not owning a tank doesn't make me a tanker, then what does?"

Back 'n Forth back patting with Alts automatically makes this a Troll Thread, & by extension......you a Troll, but I'll bite.
You are a Tanker if you meet these conditions:
1. What Nova stated. 2. SP Invested is proportionally larger on the Vehicle Spectrum. 3. You run Tanks for at least 85% of your Gameplay Time. 4. You were Tanking since Uprising 1.0 & made a Profit. 5. Your KDR isn't 2.0 & lower.........
Anyone who started "Tanking" in 1.7 is a Visitor, Spectator, FOTM Chaser, &/or Cannon Fodder.
I'm pretty sure that about covers it.......... |

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.
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. CELTIC TARON wrote: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.* 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. And on a final note, do I know you from somewhere? You seem vaguely familiar. You make me want to jump into an active volcano.

Despite having access to a vast majority of modules in the past, along with tons of SP invested; people still kept saying that I wasn't a tanker. So apparently it's more than just having access to them.
the ability to repel concentrated enemy fire from overwhelming forces and inflict significant losses to them
basically, you need to be able to survive anything and everything the enemy throws at you while doing you job at the same time. your job could be destroying targets, defending an objective, providing mobile cover for infantry, or anything else your squad/team may need of you.
its very easy to simply survive. its very hard to survive and do your job at the same time. |

sp dedicated doesnt really matter in tanking i mean it can in competitive play vs specced tankers of equal or greater skill
but i live on the premise that if you are a shittier tanker than me with better gear i will destroy you..and that seem to pull through for me..until i move beyond mlt blasters i will have a specced tanker with me more often than not

you are welcome. I would have prefered a role closer to the squad. I can best protect them in a tank. I bring cadets fresh from the academy into battle. It is hard to teach them when I have to destroy so many tanks. |

Having made an alt about 6 month's ago and done nothing with it, I always wanted to try tanking. So over the last couple weeks I have been taking lessons from my tanker in my corp, he is pretty damn good and has about 19mil in tanks.
Well I'm having a blast and have a new level of respect for the real tankers out there. He started me out with the Milt tanks, made me skill into non militia mods, made a couple fits and off we went. He took the lead and still does in his boss tank and myself and another tanker to be run support and learn as he shows us how to run the map, how and when to turn, when to run and when to turn your hardener on and have a good fight.
Teaching me things like how a shield tank can turn and pivot faster than an armour tank and how to exploit that to take out a superior tank, with a little luck. How an armoured maddy can obliterate infantry when properly positioned in choke points and knowing how to move with your friendly infantry instead of waiting for them to support you. If you support your infantry with the "big gun" they'll help keep AV off your tank.
And lastly, helping me learn where to put those skill points to make the most effective tank I can make with what I have to work with at the time, Taking time and losing some of his own tanks to teach what he knows to someone who wants to learn.
I now have a half way decent gunlogi, got into a match yesterday, tank spam serious, my squad leader needed me to call in a tank. I was very nervous as my "mentor" was not in squad. Called in my Gunny with a basic railgun, Took out two gunlogi's with missle turrets, three Soma's, and the icing on the cake was a Maddy. I knew the map, knew where to be and how to get there based on my squads sit rep.
Six tank kills, mine survived, "with a lot of luck" Without him spending some time showing and teaching my tank would have been just another pile of space junk...
That my friend is what makes him a real tanker...

Attitude, intent and dedication are all you need to assume a role and label yourself by a profession.
A rookie that decides to wear a Logistics suit and use the tools of the trade can call himself a Logistics soldier. Even if they only have skills to level one. That is how they identify themselves and what they intend to specialize in.
Only 10% of my skill points are in vehicles. My future earned skill points are destined for dropships. I spend the majority of my time flying. I watch videos, read forums and generally study how to become a better Pilot. My survival rate is going up as well as the number of kills I make when flying.
I am a Pilot.

Lots of BS in this thread.
What makes someone a tanker is doing good in a tank. That's it and anyone that says different is just bullshiting.
I was going to make a crack about what makes a "real tanker" is also being a whinny ***** but that would be mean so I'll refrain.
CCP: Is it the most asinine way possible to do this? Yes. Then that's how we're doing it.

From what I read in this thread "good tankers" hate new tankers. It seems rather than teach them how to be decent, restrained, disciplined tankers such as them selves, they would rather have them nerfed. So if being a "good tanker" means whining and turning on others in your same profession. I will be happy to be called a part-timer. I do not want to be associated with such rabble anyway. When all tanks become nerfed you can blame tankers in general. It won't just happen to individuals. I think that is where the tank spam is coming from. If enough people abuse the current system it will be changed. I would encourage bringing more tanks onto the field. Keep fighting fire with fire until some one brings us some water.

Let me remind you all. This is a video game.
What makes a tanker, **** if I care. I started this game in May driving tanks, have been ever since.
Yeah I'm a tanker. I'm also a logi, a dropship pilot, an assault ect.
The fanboys will call you a noob and a scrub. It's a sense of entitlement.
Since you put your SP into something, that is supposed to make you what you are. But for some reason you have to be PRO at it.
People lack confidence / have ego issues, and need to feel special by calling themselves tankers. And putting down the others because they are not REAL tankers. It makes them feel good about themselves.
Da **** cares, it's a ******* video game. Go become something actually important to the world, like a doctor or something. That's a title that hold actual meaning!
Tanker has no significant meaning beyond the illusion people create about it.
Given the current state of tanks, it takes zero skill to be a GOOD tanker anyways. All you need is a sica with dual damage mods, and all tanks cry.
