I can kill tanks with my plasma cannon, av nades and prox mines, that doesn't mean they are balanced in any way shape or form. Run around in your LAV in proto gear when there are 6 red tanks on the field then see how you do.

Ambush is a joke these days. Tried playing a few round just to get quick wins on my alt for the 12 days of Christmas. He who calls in the most tanks first wins. There is the initial tank battle in the other game modes but least you have the room to stay outta of the way. Still what ever side wins the initial tank fight generally wins the round in any mode.

Oh so it's not nearly as effective as you'd like people to believe.

The tanks died due to my help, that is effective in my book and they all went rail because if they went missile/blaster they got taken down so all they could do was go and use range from the redline, they put me out the game so i went infantry and capped/defended points
You've gone from this **** is easy look at all these kills to assists. Soon as there is more then one tank on the field or when the map favors tanks infantry AV becomes a lot harder, to the point you may as well use a tank yourself. Me, I like the challenge in running around solo and taking out tanks when the opportunity presents itself, but I do so at a substantial isk loss 99% of the time.
Everything has to go right in order to even kill a 88k isk mlt tank, my cheapest fit is 35k and I'll likely lose a few a long the way. So even when I do kill the mlt tank I get squat as far as isk reward goes because it was so cheap to begin win. But I am not in it for the isk, I like seeing my name in the killfeed as the one who killed that tank that was steamrolling my team. Can't speak for everyone else but I am sure many don't enjoy hemorrhaging isk just to kill one tank or just giving up and hiding in a corner. Tanks should fear infantry, not as much as they should other tanks but to some extent. I know I don't on my tank alt, all I have to do is look out for LAV's and people getting behind me, but in either case I can just run away if need be.

Its the 2nd night and it happened to be assists more than kills this time, the 3rd night could be the same or it goes like the 1st night
Its pubs, ISK reward is random and you dont get anything for killing a tank let alone a proto suit, even last patch killing a 1.7mil tank didnt give you much reward if any at all, that is a seperate issue
The ISK balance is broken, according to my vehicle alt's wallet vehicles with prudent use vehicles can be profitable. That's great, they needed it but it's happening at the cost of making infantry a lot harder to come out with a profit. I doubt you'd be hearing so much push back against tanks if infantry could make isk fighting them.
