That is a couple of different issues being manifest at once.

1. Map design is strange. Most maps allow for ridiculous spawn camping on certain sides. Pretty much the only map that doesn't allow it is Fracture Road.

2. With #1 in mind, letting the enemy team get their vehicles established is pretty much a loss. So it becomes important to either have an AT tank right at the start, or to have AV in your squad right out of the gate. These two options are criminally underrepresented at the start of 99% of the matches I see. Sure there might be a rail tank, but he goes racing out for turrets, and gets blown up for his greed, and then the enemy team has ZERO av assets on the field. 3 minutes later they are sewn up in their spawn because they had no plan for dealing with the INEVITABLE tanks and dropships that the enemy called in.

3. Dummies not using the right weapons. You do not shoot swarms at a hardened shield tank. It is not productive, and your best case scenario is to use it to draw them into a trap. I am frequently assaulted by swarms troops attacking my hardened gunloggi in an open field. If they expected to do anything other than die, that is their fault for being stupid, but also the games fault for not explaining how damage profiles work.

4. CCP loves to foster the stomp on them till they quit mentality. It drips throughout this whole game, and it has the exact playerbase it deserves. It is all about the stomp, so you either make yourself one of the horde, or you go solo and try to not get murdered too badly. That applies just as equally to infantry as to tanks, and that stupid HTFU starts to rise out of the mists.

Tanks are a fact of play, and if they are not easy to destroy, then you better have a plan to deal with them at the start of each match. When your squad sounds off their spawns, if you don't have a dedicated AV role, enjoy getting redlined. Might as well just grab a sniper rifle and get your tent setup, save yourself the run.

The Attorney General believes that Heavies Sentinels should be the suits that destroy tanks, and not Medium/Light frames.

Ironically, I've yet to see him call for nerfs to the Nova Knives and Shotgun, as apparently only heavies should be killing theoretical "heavies"

Rather it is your fault of not it still makes the game no longer fun. The problem is not with dummies. ...okay most are probably dummies. .... the real problem is with sp. For most of your early playing you are limited to swarm launchers. Forge guns are out of the question if you donGÇÖt use a heavy suit and even then the sp requirements keep people away from them. Other options are still problematic as people don't want to spend skill points on weapons they don't really want to play with. Making swarm launchers as a sidearm would go a long way.

I understand tactics but you have to remember most people playing this game Are not doing so with a squad or even a headset.

Regardless of who is right or wrong, saying develop a strategy is not going to be a viable solution. Point is that if people find a game unplayable they will stop playing. The reason it is not viable is because of real world implications (no mic, no squads, and the lack of fun being the one guy going after The tanks.)

I've said elsewhere that if I imposed a limit I would cap it at three tanks, but three tanks is where the problem starts. More ways to deal with a tank as a sidearm option may be the best solution and perhaps cutting the sp requirements for them.

I do not think needing two people for a tank or capping tanks is The way to solve this.
