All Shield and Armor skills maxed out with all turrets to prototype?
Funny thing is I'm a 'tanker' but only use it about 20% of the time, otherwise I run support BPO Logi.

Do you have to have all the skills maxed out? Pretty sure its a waste of SP in 1.7 since a militia tank in the hands of me can take anyone down... |

Because they specialize in HAVs? Why else would anybody call themselves a tanker? I specialize in Heavy Dropsuits, therefore I am a Heavy. Olaf specializes in Scout Dropsutis, therefore he is a Scout. Duke Killroy Javersmith the III Esquire specializes in HAVs, therefore he is a tanker/HAV pilot.

I once asked the only two girls in my clan why they chose to always go the tank and AV combo in every FPS game with tank in it.
"Cause being in something that powerful is sooo cool! We can wreak anything in our path!"
"And you really feel like you are having a impact in helping you all out"
When I asked how would they feel or would they want there tank to get a buff? (BF. Arma,warhawk)
"No. They don't need it"
"And we don't need a tank to survive. We love tanking cause it's fun blowing **** up"
"I wouldn't be happy If we lossed our tank, and you all guys had to cover our spot"
"Or if you all died from one tank. that wouldn't make us happy" |

Well I would consider that pooping while a baby was one of your biggest life actions, other than eatingand napping of course, but now its more of just a short beak in your day, so know i would not call you a pooper because it no longer defines you.
On the note of why im a tanker, Im a tanker because I do it to help my team stem the tide of other tanks and proto stompers, i dont do it for easy kills or cheep thrills. I would get in that tank if it cost 2-3 times as much, tho likely not if it was much higher than that. |

I'm not really a tanker in this game....yet. Pre 1.8 tanking was simply too unrewarding for me compared to infantry.
That said, I've played FPSs competitively for over a decade (mostly BF1942) and my primary role has always been that of a tanker. |

You don't HAVE to have them maxed out, but it helps. I will admit that with the way militia tanks are,my SP feels a little wasted, especially with the Sica Rail spam.

As a footman who got so tired of constantly getting sniped while the entire team is sitting in the redline and doing nothing, I decided to fool around with HAVs.
Quite frankly, I don't see the appeal. The issues with terrain navigation are bad enough as infantry - With a tank, I'm ready to smash my controller when I try to run away and get stuck in hill or something. You must have quite a bit of frustration tolerance if you can call yourself a tanker. At least with dropships, I can be sure that I'm the one who ****** up when everything spins out of control. |

You get better at it with time and experience. Been tanking for ****....2 years now? I'm by no means the best, but I drive circles around these new takers simply because I have a lot more experience dealing with terrain.

I drive an tank more often then not, I'm okay at what I do.... perhaps its also a mindset thing. I go into games to win, but being a tanker means you can only attempt to facilitate that win my clearing the field.... as such concepts like capturing objectives, using the sockets, and winning and losing become somewhat.....ephemeral.
To a Texan like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three Gunlogi.

Why? Because I've been tanking for months, even when I could get three shotted by Lai Dai AV nades. I've fought countless batlles in my tank against numerous other tanks and infantry, I've racked up plenty of kills and a few tankers names that I respect under my belt.
I still run the most expensive tanks I can fit, because you're not a tanker unless you can say "**** you scrubs, you've lost a few hundred thousand this match, I've just burned through two mil in five minutes, COME AT ME".
