run in a squad. drop a forge gunning team mate on high ground. gtfo.

^ This. More Forge Guns makes for fewer tanks.

Or...if you're lucky you'll be one of 4-5 other Assault Dropships. Then a single rail tank has too many targets and moving amongst eachother will force the shot aimed for you to impact another ship. Dispersing the damage, everyone survives. If there's enough of you can swarm the tank and blast it to little flaming pieces in no time at all.

It'll be like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.

Dont worry thers plenty of people (like me) that start game with anti tank,tank fit to destroy every single tank and turrets.
No worry, fg on roof,hill can be easy 50wp to rail :].

Ps. Even somone with full militia sica and dmg mods can destroy proto fited maddy/glogi from behind.

Depends on the map, some are good and some are bad for flying, you'll learn which are which. Usually I'll fly high and see what kind of tanks are being brought in, any dropships flying about, who's gong where, etc. After that, I'll just cruise around the map's hot spots, picking off people every now and then but mostly focusing on uplinks, acing my own uplinks, and offering support where it's needed.

Don't stay in one spot for too long, you'll start annoying the enemy to the point of tank spam. I always try to keep moving, orbiting where I'm shooting. Even with the ADSs agility, they're way too slow to escape with cold feet.

My favorite fit currently is 1x Enh Heavy Ex, 1x Cplx Light Ex, 1x Cplx AfterBurner, 1x ADV Missile, 1x PG. Great passive tank at just over 3k (can take 2 shots from a rail) and the AB is great for speed tanking (if they can't hit you you don take damage). The AB is the key defensive player here. I don't like using only 1 hardener, too much cooldown time, and using 2 with an AB is only slightly better ehp than my current set up but with a cooldown time.
