And here's why:
I soloed a hardened Madrugar with a militia forge

Tanks are only good in the hands of those who know what the hell they are doing; in other words, those who know how to drive, how to fit a tank, and, most importantly, when to hold 'em or fold 'em.

Picture please or vids?

$#!t tanker is $#!t.

Also, vids or it didn't happen.

Wish I had a recorder. :/ Spent all of my money on Aurum. Low on time they said! Low on skill they said!

I soloed an STB's player HAV with a Forge Gun, had hardeners active and all.

Paying AUR for a MLT forge?

Bull$#!t meter just went from "suspicious" to "ALERT! ALERT!"

Would you like the name of the tanker? He sent me hatemail afterwards, admitting that his fit was not good. You can ask him. :P

??? When did I say that I spent money of a militia forge? I stated that my reason for not having a recorder is that I spent my money on Aurum. No, the militia forge came with the Mauler suit I got from the event. Try again, Ati.

No, because any Tom, ****, and Harry can easily pay someone to lie about something.

Because of this, Vids or it Didn't happen.

Believe what you will, as you may. It matters little to me. lol I appreciate that you encourage people to be reasonably skeptical though,

This is going to be my one and only post in response to the least productive but most vocal person in the vehicle/AV debate:

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced.

1. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. I know a dropship pilot who six months ago was able to stay in the air a whole game, move troops around, get kills, and never get shot out of the sky--and I saw him do it in Planetary Conquest, Factional Warfare, and pub matches. Does that mean dropships were balanced and pilots just needed to HTFU and adapt? I don't believe that, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that.

2. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. Balance in a role-based game is predicated on the idea that a role that is strong in one way is weak in another. Therefore the question is not whether AV are capable of destroying tanks, it's a question of what they have to give up to do it, and whether they're being proportionately compensated for their weaknesses in their area of strength. Right now, people are using militia tanks and suicide LAVs because they're able to accomplish the job better without making sacrifices. Just because they could do the job with forge guns and swarm launchers doesn't mean it's the best way to get it done--and if you can get better results without sacrificing flexibility, why wouldn't you?

3. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. I want to emphasize this point because you seem to be under the delusion that what is possible must be balanced. Tankers didn't believe this in 1.6, despite many of them going multiple matches without being destroyed. There are scouts who run around in ninja fits with nova knives--they get kills, therefore they are balanced? I regularly go positive on my skill-less alt with starter fits, so obviously a starter fit is just as good as a proto. There's not a problem with the matchmaking system, people just need to learn to adapt.

4. And finally: Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. You talk about teamwork, but what you really mean is buddy-work. If I'm working on a team, and not just out to kill vehicles, I likely have a more important responsibility than chasing down tanks the whole game. Because while I'm off chasing one tank, me and my buddy are leaving the rest of the team defenseless against any other vehicle that decides to sidle up and give them hell. That's not teamwork, that's selfishness.

These are the reasons why your anecdotes and continuing posts are irrelevant. You're setting out to prove a limited point, with limited applicability, and pretending as though the results prove some universal truth.

But of course I'm doing this for the benefit of the people reading your threads, not for you yourself. You've already made up your mind, and wouldn't change it if I presented you with a thousand pages of hard, incontrovertible evidence. So to all of you who have any sense, I leave you this TL;DR:

Don't feed the troll. If you don't respond to his posts, they will just disappear into the archive. Let them.

Would you brag on the forums if you shot a Prototype player dead with a SMG? Especially if the prototype was spinning in circles shooting into the sky..

Because that's what this is equivilent to.

You shot a r*tard... good for you. I still call BS on the 'solo' part. Because that means you shot 7 shots and reloaded twice. Thats 4 seconds per shot and 3 seconds to reload. Meaning that tank sat there for 34 seconds... Can you tell me how long armor hardeners last? Plus basic armor rep at 100/sec(400 between each shot and 300 per reload)

How about next time you tell the whole truth?

Praise the Sun!

I call bullsh8t.

There is no way that every single blueberry is suddenly able to go 25:0 in a tank.

The people who know how to pilot are very few in number and i can name all of them. You are not a tanker because every real tanker could take a nerf and still kill everything in sight- anyone defending OP tanks could not.

If you dare defend your claims, please ring for someone on the opposite team of me in PC and I will show you what a real tanker does.

I'm not bragging, I'm making a point. I told you as much truth as I can pal. Good grief, you forum guys are just antsy as ****. I make a simple claim and get attacked. lol Chill out and take it easy.

I mention that people should know how to fit their tanks because I am reasonably sure that he had no reps on his tank. I took it down to half armor, then he ran away. I found him again, full shields, still half armor. Hit him once to take the shields down, twice to finish his hardened armor.

And seriously, cut the holy-than-thou bullshit. "How about next time you tell the whole truth?" Really?
