Iv not done pc for a few months so rather than post in general, I thought I'd come here to maybe back up mine and swamps view on tanks and I'll keep it short.
Scenario 1 - tanks are on the field, we CBA to blow them up so we just ignore them, maybe once or twice I/we get mown down, Boohoo, we accept the mow down.
Scenario 2 - Dumb fks either try to solo and get buggered or even worse, they try to solo when the hardeners are active, same result. (No one in swamp is dumb enough to do that unless we are high)
Scenario 3 - two of us get av fits, we keep our distance and then once the tanks hardeners are on cool down we pop it, or die but sht happens.
Scenario 4 - forge guns, enough said.
So we believe 1 and 2 is what half these nubs are doing and whining about, because they are fking up and don't actually realise they are doing so, where as people executing scenarios 3 and 4 have no problems, we know because we do them regularly.
So I'm asking pc active players, are these people that are whining just nubs that want it easy. For the sake of simplicity I left out other scenarios, some don't even need to be said really, proxy's, jihad Jeeps, rail tanks etc.
Are tanks 'op' in pc? Because we doubt it. I can imagine tank spam is op but spamming anything is op. Iv just had enough of the tanks are op spam, ccp even stated that tanks will be balanced over time and I'm not seeing much feedback, just whining.

Are they really that hard for infantry who know what they are doing to blow up? Rail tanks will always be a biach. You are one of the people I'd hoped would reply actually.

Rail tanks will always be a biach. You are one of the people I'd hoped would reply actually. well forges can kill the tanks but why waste infantry who could also die to other infantry compared to another rail tank who can only die to another rail tank. Rail tank is the most efficient. forges on roofs are still a pain but only for blaster tanks as rails normally aren't near them.
Of course, thank you.

They push objectives, defend them, and require teamwork to take down-which is how it should be. The only thing that kills high ehp fits are other tanks. The powerhouse tanks like bob runs that have little resist die up close to forges, so you may never see them if they are in your match. Blaster tanks can be nasty, but that's what high ehp rails and missiles are for.
TL;DR
bring your own tanks to the fight and you won't have to deal with enemy tanks
Ok that's quality, my tanker alt is specced purely for tank v tank as well so happy days.

So basically, the people whining really are nubs and also whining about the random matchmaking of pubs/fw, tanks are not really op are they?
The icing on the cake is that ccp is still a way off from balancing them and people forget that.

So the main task of a pilot is to neutralize other pilots as much as possible. If you want to use AV specialists they will take time and guns out of your team.
With all due respect, you just pointed out the obvious and don't seem have understood or read the thread but thanks.

The result of this are railguns everywhere attempting to lock down areas as efficiently as possible.
Please explain how stating that letting vehicles run about uncontested is bad isn't obvious, the op was relevant to fw and pubs, obviously in pc you can't simply ignore vehicles and scenarios 1 and 2 are what you shouldn't do, as I stated.

I already started thawing the ground in order to dig a hole for myself to hide in.
Is that a subtle battle of the bulge reference or have I drunk far too much energy drink again?

Blaster tanks hold open ground and harass infantry. Rails and Missiles kill blaster tanks.
Any team without tanks loses. Any team with too many tanks loses. It's about finding the sweet spot.
Thanks for stating the obvious. +1
