So, been running AV. Proto swarms, stacked damage mods, prox, and AV nades.
What I have found is that most every tanker out there is a SCRUB. No, I don't insta pop tanks, but I don't expect to either. A little work, and some back up AV buddies goes a LOOONG way.
MLT tanks are easily soloed by a SOLE AV INFANTRY. This is the majority of what I see out there. Since most MLT tankers opt for something other than hardeners (shield tanks) or Reps (armor tanks), they pop in just a few volleys, with some AV nades thrown in between.
The standard version of tanks can be a bit tricky (if fit up right) but a few well placed swarms will either force hardeners (starting a timer to vulnerability) or out right push them out. At the very least, it forces them to reconsider their approach. Prox mines help narrow down possible approaches, and I have even used them to trap a tank in narrow city aisles.
No, I by myself can struggle, but toss in a forge gun and another swarmer and we got ourselves a party! Don't just fire swarms and expect **** to die, you chase his ass down and lay down some alpha damage. A quick AV nade right after a swarm volley makes quite an impression.
Love blowing tanks up with AV, it's like the ultimate slap in the face. (Could call my pro rail tank out, but no fun in insta poppin!)

HAHAH. This the truth though, it amazes me, as a tank driver since May, how terrible some of these guys are. They don't belong in that tank.

No its just a bunch a terrible drivers all over the map, I have blaster tanks try go head to head with my forge gunner from 200m, even when they're 1 shot from death they just sit there..and explode. All 1.7 did was destroy vehicles, no diversity in fittings,no risk, no nothing. Just walmart tanks everywhere.
True, but all of those things that applied before 1.7 still apply. My tank will roll tanks all day long, often 2 at a time. It's not that my tank is better, I'm just better at driving it.
This knowledge certainly helps busting tanks as I run AV infantry. Often times though, I swear these guys think they are invincible and just sit there for ya. No plan for escape, they don't know when to run, easy pickins.
A lot of these guys will be in for some serious butthurt when they make tanking something other than a I WIN BUTTON. Getting lots of practice with my AV skills in the mean time
