Over my time on the forums, many times have people said things such as "LOL Atiim stop lying to everyone your not a tanker" and "Oh, so Lueko got himself a tank alt huh?
I normally take these insults with a grain of salt, but after a chat with my CEO, my gears started turning.
So I just wanted to know:

Well, obviously.
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.

know your machine, it's just that simple.
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.

You're not a tanker as far as I'm concerned - it's about attitude more than anything else.
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. 'Omni-soldier' seems to fit, based on what I know of your SP allocations, and attitude towards them.

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.*

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.
And on a final note, do I know you from somewhere? You seem vaguely familiar.

sorry.
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.

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.

my main is a demoman with points spent ALL over the place when i want to mess around with different stuff because i get bored
my alt < this guy < is now a dropship pilot with a rail tank to get rid of those pesky noobs who try to redline rail.

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.

4. You were Tanking since Uprising 1.0 & made a Profit.
5. Your KDR isn't 2.0 & lower.........

I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7.

(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.

*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.

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. |

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.

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.

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.

I think what it comes down to is impressing the vet tankers, for instance:
If i run into a tank THATs NOT MILITIA or BASIC torrets, and he puts up a good face-to-face fight, i go "ok, not bad, hhmmmm"
and if i keep seeing him around killing other GOOD FITTED tanks and putting up good fights, i tell him GG and nice job, then he's a tanker in my book. but he's only a tanker, NOT a good tanker, THATS earned in PC.

Before 1.7 everyone and their dogs had AV, you know this, it wasn't an exclusive cliub, you just had Lai Dais. Tanking was harder, sure you'd have easy games but the rough games were stupidly rough, you watched for everything and if you lost a tank and got 200k that match, you'd be down 1.5mil.
And if you want to be a tanker Atiim, you've got to squad up with Tankers, talk to them rather than just trying to put them down for trying to defend their playstyle on the forums :)

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.
Until sica pilot with two damage mods that doesn't know the map and where to look get's popped by a sica with no damage mods, better yet a soma with basic blaster cannon.

A real tanker spends the majority of their time in their vehicle and has done for months. I guess a real tanker is an experienced player who has spent a long time in vehicles and is known amongst other tankers, Your word doesn't mean **** until you've squadded up with others who vouch for you.
We're like an exclusive club ;) yeah i think this explains the "vets don't wanna help new tankers get better" post. because its like a close family, and a CLOSED family lol. we had to deal with so much nerfs and changes together and we pulled through. you think were gonna let someone in the VIP table just because they bought us drinks?
Huh? You know there are a LOT of good tankers out there. Club psh.

you're "not a tanker" to the masses because to many it seems like you're out to get us.
As far as I can tell, this is what it means: that you represent the interests of tankers, at the exclusion of all else. It's a mentality: If you're not with us, you're against us. I've seen some people come into these threads with a few million SP who were warmly accepted as tankers simply because they toed the line.
What's more interesting to me is the question: What makes an AVer?
The reason this is an interesting question is because AVers are a faction created by tankers, largely a straw-man faction of people who want to do nothing except destroy tanks 24/7. The number of people who actually hold this mentality probably numbers in the single digits. Most people who want AV balance are infantry who are just trying to adapt to the fact that vehicles are ruining their day. Unlike tankers, very few have any interest in occupying that as a primary role--and if they did, they'd be interested in getting more vehicles onto the field for them to kill. There is no unified "AV" faction, there's just infantry.
So keep in mind, tankers, that when you insult AV players, you are insulting literally the entire player base who chooses to play infantry. If you really want your role to be viable, you would be better off courting them than antagonizing them. Tell them how tank changes will make their game better, not just yours. Because honestly, most of the time it just sounds like all you want is to play tanks and you don't care what that means for everybody else. |

A tanker is someone who puts thought an effort into using an HAV in a way that isn't pathetic.
I use militia HAVs, but only because they're undeniably better than standard in the long run.
I can lose about 3 per battle and still make a profit, yet I usually lose 1 (if any) because I'm not a dumbass.
And no, I don't use hardeners or redline snipe.
Soma with a mCRU, BPO large blaster, mlt small blasters, nitrous, BPO a heavy rep, a BPO light rep, and who knows wtf is in the 3rd low slot (is there a 3rd low slot?) maybe a BPO plate?

> 75% of your SP is invested in tanks and their related skills
For example, on this character I have 0 SP in vehicles at all, therefore I'm not a tanker.
My 10 mill SP alt that has all but ~350K in vehicles is a tanker, even though he mostly uses dropships because loljihadjeeps but I still have to deal with lolrails I would argue is.

75% of my SP CAN'T be invested in HAV skills at this point.
I made sure I'm capable of literally every playstyle. Not prototype gear in every playstyle, but everything nonetheless.

Before 1.7 everyone and their dogs had AV, you know this, it wasn't an exclusive cliub, you just had Lai Dais. Tanking was harder, sure you'd have easy games but the rough games were stupidly rough, you watched for everything and if you lost a tank and got 200k that match, you'd be down 1.5mil.
And if you want to be a tanker Atiim, you've got to squad up with Tankers, talk to them rather than just trying to put them down for trying to defend their playstyle on the forums :)
Dedicated AV was an exclusive club. And, no I do not count people with Lai Dais as AV. Why? Because some of those Lai Dai users are also the Core Locus spammers.
I am no longer a "real tanker". I thought I'd use the SP from tanks and LLAVs to touch up on my infantry skills. Plus, it gives me a fresh start from where I was before, kinda like replaying a game that you finished. I'll take you up on that offer SoonGäó
Also, I wouldn't put down tankers if they would stop putting down AV :P

75% SP
That's a bit much, don't you think?
How about 50-65%

Nope, if at least using a vehicle isn't your primary role you're not a tanker. There are exceptions like if you feel your vehicle skills are "maxed out" and you branch off, but that's a lot of SP.

I was branching around the 70% mark, but then I maxed just about everything I needed.
I never really spent too much on my Core Skills.

I have 15m SP in infantry. Equipment, callpgi, RR, and MD. All proto.
I have about 10m in tanks. RG, shields, core skills.
I would never call myself a logi or an assault. I would call myself q tanker. I am a tanker because I love tanks not the KDR buff I get or the hardeners I can use. I've been with them from day...14. Haha
I know my vehicle. I'm good at what I do. I have the accuracy of a sniper, the mobility of a scout, and the weapons understanding of an amarr assault. Nothing is more complicated that close range rail tanking when done right and THAT is why I love tanks. Accounting for their vector, the vector of my vehicle, the vector of my round and the mental calculation s that happen to enable me to hit my mark. Even snipers don't have it that hard they get to hide. Scouts can dissapear into corners. I have to move my turret, minutes modules, move my tank, and keep 360-¦ awareness. NOTHING IS HARDER THAN A 6 V 6 tank battle when all involved are god mode tankers. Nothing even comes close. Especially when you're all running your most costly fits, the stakes are high. That is the best. Infantry do no understand that concept of Bushido, for tankers, if you will. We have a code of honor, I'd say. When we fight together, we understand that we cannot win the same way infantry do. We go out there with 1 or 2 names in mind. The infantry bullet has "to whom it may concern". Ours is often to someone we play with a lot...we're a small community and we all know eachother. Of you aren't part of us, then you're not a tanker. We know everyone worth knowing. We accept new talent as they come, and alienate those who make us look bad.

There are no tankers, just Tanks and those that abuse them. You hop out of your tank before it explodes from my Fcrge, also not a tanker.. Just another pedestrian. You call in a tank before checking the opposite team for AV specialists, you are also not a tanker. |

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.
damn im thirsty i ide rather use they're lack of skill to fund the tanks i need for serious competition let them learn the way i did
also on this note i have taken down multiple proto rail tanks witha non hardened some in cqc..you snipers are so ballsy as to come close to me a cqc machine master i will slaughter you and av needs to hurry up and bring av in lavs with tanks..if they wanna stop me with out a skilled tanker with skilled tanker help (as no one tank hold me off
with tank skill matters most atm cept when it comes to rail sniping as for rail vs cqc blaster driving and person skill can make you a beast
why use suits when ccp gave us nice shiny op as hell tanks that cost next to nothing

my main is 98% specced into being a gaurdian..but sadly all the current avers are pussies and no one is working together like we did in chromsome this main has blaster tank specced to adv...thats not much but i am good enough with a blaster tank that most anyone except a proto tanker is easy meat for me...and proto tanks re batable with mlt tanks ive done it its epicly hard and if the tanker good i probably couldnt do it alone with a blaster.
tanks are great skill > than gear in all except long range rail sniping
av is sad because no one is using lavs hitting in groups they are alone and on foot and getting slaughtered
brothers since when was av clustered on foot? let the infantry hide in they're buildings until the av in they're covettes of doom and tank mates clean slate the whole map...
