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

Like i did it with babar, he hasnt even contacted me

I did this on my own back just to see how hard it really it, with most having proto AV it shouldnt be a problem, the only way it would be difficult is with lower AV hence why if you have next to no AV a mlt tank is better

His challenge he has to contact me, except he wants it done in lolambush

Ive killed tanks with UP AV because thats what players keep saying and its not UP, i didnt have a problem

I will do it again tonight and post again and then the day after and after that and may do it for a solid week

Those tanks could have been working in a group

They may have been supporting the infantry

I didnt mind using teamwork, makes the job a bit easier, i did solo a couple of them basically but it just makes the job longer

If you want an enemy tank off the field use teamwork

I still use teamwork in my tank, sometimes im in a 6man group and we are all using teamwork does that mean it should then take 6 to take me out because im using teamwork in a 6man group?

You are not forced

You can still solo

So then if they have the IQ of a 2 year old child why are most AV players not killing them?

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

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

Pre 1.7 all proto AV did was at least 3k per shot swarms and 2k plus for a FG and mlt tanks were worse then than they are now so if they were that good i would have seen them in PC for example or even videos of the OP MLT tanks surviving pre 1.7 swarms

Also the tank kills were within the 1st 10mins, we spawned with proto FG suits at the start and got the LAV in and chased em down and got rid of them, won most of the game that night when we cleared the field

It took 2ppl but i was in a 5man group, general communication between the 5 of us is OP because we called out stuff to each other like locations of tanks and infantry etc

And no your still wrong, i ve seen 6man squads each field a tank in skirmish/domo and still lose because the infantry got hammered and couldnt hack the points

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

You used teamwork. Huh?

Now how many of those tanks were forced to use teamwork?

If I'm forced to use teamwork, then why shouldn't the tanker?

1=1

i did run around in the LAV against 4+ tanks yday, they kept calling them out its how i ended up with assists

Problem is they went railgun so i couldnt get close enough

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

So onto the 3rd night of AV

1st match we come across our very own forum critic - Monkey MAC

Now we were mostly infantry at the time with a MLT tank roaming about and after spawn camping his uplink and killing him several times he decided to bring out his own MLT tank which he quickly lost to a combination of a tank and also proto FGs, i think it was a blaster sica, didnt see him in a tank after that or even for the rest of the game tbh


2nd match

We got redlined hard in FW, i think we was fighting for the state but more like dying, got 2 kills on maddys and an assist on a gunlogi, was mostly taking out the turrets at 1st and then driving around to get into good positions

Then we had a few quiet matches, those which did use tanks did so mainly from the redline

Then the big match, we had a domo with 6 tanks on our side and judges DS so when we queued up next round of domo we expected the same teams and we got them except we were against judges DS and unholy legion of darkstar tank crew aswell, i only recognized DELBOY as there main tank users a gunlogi with missiles

I got an assist on judges DS, he targeted and chased after 1 of our tanks, i rolled up in a LAV and distracted him enough he aimed at me, got a solid hit on his DS with my breach and then he got shot down by rail

Also the 3 tanks were rolling around as a convoy quite a bit, made it hard to chase down and hit but got 3 more kill assists, really should have 2 tank kills tbh but my dodgy aiming at 100% sensitivity made me jerk it about too much so i missed a couple of killing blows, they did keep brining out tanks but we did keep chasing them away and killing them, infantry wise we got hammered anyways but no more assista that i know of because no WP were rewarded when it died but i did get a few more hits on target


I lost 1 proto suit when i stayed around to get a maddy kill, i did get a fair few assists and if my aiming was any better i would have had a couple more kills

So ISK wise im still up for destroying vehicles, my KDR verses vehicles is up, WLR for matches is so-so but i am finding the map/mode can make it so much more easier or harder

I am also using the Proto breach FG alot more and tbh i do like it when compared to the AFG, sometimes with AFG you hit them then boom a hardener goes on but sometimes you can hit them with the breach and you have taken off most of the tank so when a hardener does go on its not as effective, 2 breaches generally alpha everything and even one just creames a shield tank with no hardeners and even if it has 1 on 2 shots will still take its shield off and the LAV is a valuable asset to have and is a must in my view and but is also a must for my AV playstyle

It's nice to see one tanker supporting another tankers Idea and trying to imply and prove that Running around in an LAV with 2 heavies and forge guns is the Viable way to counter tanks LOL

* Don't have a Heavy suit
* Dont hae SP for a heavy suit (Even if i did, wouldn;t put it in a heavy suit)
* Can't carry a forge gun
* Don't have SP to get Forge guns
* Can't call in LAV with 4-5 tanks running around
* Good luck Calling in LAV's in an Ambush


Bottom line : lolBalance

2 FG = Tank

Ive done it

1 FG = Tank = Hard to do but can be done

STD tank with 1 hardener on took 6shots with a proto AFG

So far they havnt really come for me yet

Sometimes when tanks are on the field they pay more attention to my LAV than the tank coming up behind them

Even so im far enough away to do damage and possibly get the kill before i need to retreat and i try and get into places where they may not see me

I dont just park in front of them like so many do

So because i play smart and engage on my terms is not valid? lolgo figure
