As a Dropship pilot, I occasionally squad with others and run Ambush matches, because they don't have a redline for tanks to hide behind.
Then there was today.
We spawn in, and start calling in vehicles, and within 2 minutes we and all our vehicles are dead as a squad of 4 blaster tanks slaughters our entire team at our initial spawn.
The spawn rotates to a different location.
What then follows is the single Incubus that came in with the 3 Madrugars and one Gunnlogi (who was later joined by another ADS) reporting our new spawn location to the tanks each time it rotates, and the match ending with them having lost 12 clones while killing all of us within a third of the match timer.
ONE of those tank drivers was killed during that match.
They had 3x the kill count of the entire rest of their team.
I now fully understand the tank rage.

Sometimes I think to myself "maybe ambush isn't as bad as I remember", and I try a battle, and it turns out to be even worse than I thought.

Ambush - because the rest of the game doesn't quite offer enough chances to **** you over.

I still remember the dark days way back in the closed beta when skirmish 1.0 would give me a full system freeze no matter what, so I was banished to the depths of Ambush, where it was not uncommon to have the same 8-10 people playing lol. Games of 16 were rare.

Basically the exact same situation I had. I didn't mind tanks till that day.

I had a match like that, except it was 4 ADS in the air, and these had the whole kit, with each of them having 2 gunners as well.
Half my team was MLT/STD Swarms (from what I could tell based on the f*ck all they did to the ADSs), and there was almost no escape.
Best part of the match was finally sneaking away to the other side and calling in the rail Sica fit I have to make sure no stomp goes unpunished and shooting one of the bastards down.
I contribute nothing.
