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

Thats the part that gets me, they donot plan attacks nor escapes, the amount of times my forge has hit a tank and he starts turning on the spot trying to see the fastest way out.. Or they slam into reverse go 20m and end up stuck on a wall.

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!) Nuff Said

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. Nuff Said

CLONE117 planetary retaliation organisation ACME Holding Conglomerate 659	Posted - 2014.02.10 21:31:00 - [7] - Quote honestly. a single swarm by himself wont kill the tank. not enough damage per clip to do it at low tiers. but combine it with some av nades and u can kill them. or with shield tanks. if shield hardeners dont protect against flux nades. id suggest throwing a flux or 2 and finish it with swarms when ive aved an armor tank i just chuck 3 std av nades and kill it with a single clip of adv swarms. its not that hard unless your only using 1 single av type. and are in a bad position. for av it requires positioning of the tank and yourself.
Salt Dog 76 Red Star. EoN. 64	Posted - 2014.02.10 21:48:00 - [8] - Quote If you want to kill ADV tanks Shield or Maddy not (LOL Militia) there to easy. Get Proto FG, Prof 5 and 1 to 3 Hvy Dam Mods (depending on ur suit but proto is the only way to fly). Depending on the loadout the tanker is using 3 to 5 shots hardeners or not Bye Bye Tank. My Alt is a Tanker YourDeadAgain76 and the only problem with ADV tanks that ive seen is that there is no AV game. Very few dedicated AV'ers out there. (im not talking about sitting in a rail turret installation the entire game either LOL.) Hell im more worried about a sneaky ADS more than AV cause there are none. ' IF this game gets better, CCP fixes PC, Vets with 30 mill SP or more come back and the player base goes back up like it has been a bit lately Tankers including myself will be wining about HAV's needing a buff. And AV is too strong like it used to be because everyone had Adv or higher AV fits and you got Fragged from every corner of the map and we had to rail from the redline. Or dont get Av cause i enjoy not worrying about getting popped unless its another tank.

R F Gyro Clones 4u 1121	Posted - 2014.02.10 22:56:00 - [10] - Quote Most infantry are "scrubs" too. Including most AV. Good players kill bad players. What's your point? RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 1597	Posted - 2014.02.10 23:23:00 - [11] - Quote Forging is way more fun than tanking these days. I wish I'd got all my SP out of tanks, tbh. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters. Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!

Monkey MAC Rough Riders.. 1915	Posted - 2014.02.10 23:44:00 - [13] - Quote I came across against a Proto Swarm last month, it couldn't out do my shield reps, even without activating my hardners, it took so long whenever he got near my armour I could just reactivate my booster. AV being useful is purel y based upon the idea that the tanker is either stupid or caught REALLY off guard. Tanks 514 I told you, I bloody well told you.
