If a tanker can run AV and kill tanks what does that say about the AV players?

I find that most mlt tanks which kill tanks are with the rail, high dmg/range and rof

Using a blaster mlt tank is meh tbh but the dmg mods can make a big diff to any tank its just its defences can be meh, i can kill with a blaster but generally i have to get the jump on them and sometimes i have to run, with my alt i have no tank skills

Even tho the tank is faster moving than your heavy, its why i used a LAV, can cover more ground and go through places that tanks cant and can easily get behind them without them seeing me and if you are a good driver you have no problem survivng most of the time

As for ambush dont play it and its whoever spams the tank in 1st win since if they have the ground they will whack it before the bolas drops it

I find the LAV is easier because the heavy is so slow and cumbersome, the LAV is also used as a quick escape and generally most pilots see a LAV and ignore it when it escapes and if they dont see it they think if may have been killed or even recalled

I cant use spawn points because if it goes up **** creek or the HAV sees me i cant excatly move fast and escape plus it puts me on the ground with infantry, at least a LAV can be a shield and escape point

Im doing this again for the next few nights, so far so good

If I accept the veracity of Takahiro's post then tanks must magically make people smarter. AV players are not successful because they are stupid and bad players, yet a dedicated AV'er who goes 2/10 as an AV'er can call in a tank and easily go 10/2, this must be because the tank made him smarter.
It is funny how in 1.6 tankers were getting destroyed but they weren't stupid but now we have the reverse and it is all player incompetency. Sorry, Takahiro's but you arguments only hurt the credibility of tankers and their legitimate concerns that a nerf axe rather than a nerf scalpel is coming. I think the consensus is that there is a problem with the hardeners and with the speed of tanks. Adjust those and award WP for damage and I think we are going to be close to where we should be.

I haven't contacted you? I invited you to "Rainbow Office" chat and I haven't seen you there yet.

Anyways, 2 FGs and a LAV and a map With installations and such makes AV doable. You can drive around buildings etc and Ensure you get into optimum position and Catch the tanks unawares.

And With the chance of bringing forth another "LOLAmbush" reply from you, I'd like to see you stop one of these 6 man Squads on the more open ambush maps. If you're not quick enough you'll never even get to Call in any vehicles.

Anyways, I had several games yesterday where I took out 2 tanks in several game all alone, go proto RE's!

So AV is definately doable, its just IMO very hard and frustrating. Especially considered I had to spend several 230K suits on average for each 70K militia tank I destroyed.

But thats all in the past, I finally took the step and fitted 2 militia tanks myself, rail and blaster, Its for me chocking how much of an EZ mode tanking is. 70K tank and no skills and I instantly start to **** anything, well short of proper tanks... And then I realized I could even zoom in With the gun and hit multiple infantry at huge distances who all dropped like flies. I even shot Down a bunch of other scrub tanks With my rail. When infantry came too Close I simply stepped out and killed them and hopped back in again, just like fatty LLAV tryhard of the past. And when it got ugly its just to start an hardener and a speed boost and you're off.

I have 5200 HP, hardener, and a speedbooster which practiacally makes me totally invoulnerable to anything but other rail tanks. All the swarms, nades and even RE scouts came at me in Waves and they all died.

I understand now ES, I understand why you wanna keep it this way.

One thing is for certain though, AV is dead for me, I'll stick With militia tanks instead, much cheaper and insanely more efficient.

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
