I think multiple guys hit on the key point here, but didnt get completely explicit; so I will;
Your squad would have been able to win, if you had that same AV guy.. AND a couple of *other* squad members were carrying AV grenades.
Ideally, the AV guy should have been carrying swarms AND remotes (AND AV grenades).. but its always nice to have a little extra coverage these days.
Then one guy carries a hive.. and your squad is then a rain of AV death that a single tank will run away from.
While still being primarily equipped for anti-infantry.

We switched over half the squad to AV grenades, we have been fortunate enough not to encounter a situation similar to that which I described here as I doubt it would have faired much better. But I would like to ask, should 1 man (the tanker) be so powerful as to be capable of overwhelming a superior force?
you are using improperly loaded language.
Besides which... if the tanker wins, then clearly by empirical evidence, HE is the "superior force" :D
To answer your implicit question of,
"should a single tanker be able to basically run over 6 infantry that are non-AV, or inadequately AV equippped?"
my opinion is "yes".
The argument them becomes a matter of "how much is 'adequately' equipped?"
which is not an easy thing to answer.
Edit: there is then a side question of, "is there adequate capability for infantry to re-equip?", my opinion of which is, #@$%! NO!!
Particularly when you get .... tankers blowing up the only supply depot on the map. When there is one at all.
Ugh. |

Yes, and no.
Wouldnt you agree that there's a hierachy
* militia noob fit tank, can usually beat most infantry.
* militia noob tank vs militia noob tank, quasi-random who will win
* 'good' tank, raw fit (gunlogi/madrugar) vs militia noob tank, good tank should win
* militia tank fit with SKILLED UP GEAR, vs empty or poorly fitted gunlogi/madrugar:
skilled gear will win.
A WELL FIT, non-militia tank... the 200,000+ ISK, gunlogi/madrugar type... can take on 2xmilitia noob tanks, and win, if done mostly one after another.
If really good, can take both at the same time. But that's the milllion SP investment.
It's nice for potential new players, that it can now be done with around 1mil SP rather than your hypothetical 15mil SP.
It's almost equivalent to required investment for proto suits.
