Tanks can be taken down by a single AV person.
This thread is just silly.

This thread is just silly. LAVs can also be taken out by HMGs, Mass Drivers, Flaylock Pistols and Combat Rifles.
Confirmed:
Anti Infantry weapons are far too versatile.

A properly fitted tank run by a proper tanker who knows what he is doing is not going to be dropped by a single AV player unless that AV player is a prof. 5 forge gunner running 2 damage mods on a proto forge gun sitting on a roof with nanohives.
Beyond the obvious problems with tanks, this particular fit has an interesting place and it needs a little attention.
That type of fit has no hope against even a MLT rail on a sica. It has literally no defense for alpha spikes.
What it does have is a complete gearing towards surviving waves of AV thrown haphazardly while it works a blaster. Is it right that such a fit is possible? Similarly, should a shield tanker be able to stack triple hardeners with an armor hardener and a heavy armor repair module?
The likely answer is no, and that the modules still need to be adjusted.
That type of fit can also be ultrakilled by any combo of mines, or AV nades and a hive. Or a combo strike of AV nades and a forge shot to the ass.
With all that said, that is only one type of fit, and it is easily destroyed by any rail, including installations, which will make short which of that type of fit.
Most other fits are solo material for AV players, and so the thread is still overly broad without need.

A very reasonable response, but the point of the thread isn't even really a qualm against the different tank fits that are not soloable, or even against all tankers and their views on tanks. It's against the mindset that many tankers have across the various tank balance threads that because of their SP investment and fit costs compared to infantry, they feel that they should not be soloable by infantry. A specific jab at a specific group of people.
I do appreciate your reasonable responses to valid issues brought up here, however it's a philosophy of game balance that I am disputing in this thread, not the current state of affairs in-game.
Your thread, if not about the specific anti-infantry points, is than completely without merit.
This mindset that you attribute to tankers has no bearing on how tanks are designed in game. Further, just because a subset of the tank using populace makes statements regarding balance does not make them correct, or the source for the current vehicular situation.
You can make a jab all you like, but the only retort to someone "taking a jab at tankers" is to tell you plainly that if you can't drop tanks with AV you are a scrub, and that you need to get decent at the game before you start trying to talk about balance.
So if you want to progress discussion, learn how to properly frame an argument, or if you want to troll, do that correctly. Don't half ass it and then get uppity when you don't get the right response.
Mr. Hybrid Vayu.
