DUST Search - Tank Spam vs Protostomping

Where are all the lists of people who call in 4 or 5 tanks and ruin matches?

There hasn't been a time I've played in two or three weeks when I didn't just end up turning Dust off because of tanks. It really bothers me because there are more factors than just the tanks here.

1) I may not be fortunate enough to have tanks on my side
2) I may not have any FGers on my side

When the tanks get called in and one side dominates the field with vehicles the blueberries on their side get this boost of confidence and the are running around cleaning up the few people trying to layout mines (which seems to be the best light infantry tactic) or land swarm volleys.

The last few weeks is the lowest my KDR has been in over a year. I'm not that worried about that, but it means it's gotten expensive.

I just don't see why these win buttons are allowed in pub matches. They are ruining them. They are 1000x worse than the Calogi, the TAC rifle, the laser rifle of Chrome, all combined.

The ONLY reason I don't back out of matches when tanks are called in is because I don't want to leave my corp mates hanging.

I was originally a shotgunner, but due to the clowns that spam tanks EVERY GOD FORSAKEN PUB MATCH, I have to counter tank. I have no choice or my side will get stomped. I have to first plant uplinks spread apart on high places on the edges of the map ( need good places to spawn a railtank). Then I have to call in a dual DMG MODed railtank and kill all enemy tanks. If they have too much life I have to get close and flank them. What gets me killed is having to check the main map, takes to long too load, but this SSD that arrives in two days should fix that.... I used to use a Proto Breach, but CCP killed it, too weak now for that kind of charge time. Jihad jeeps are good against 1 tank, but when there's 7 out- hell no that calls for Mr. Railtank and his sidekicks Damage Mod 1 and Damage Mod 2. I love flanking high SP tankers, damn fools try to activate their hardners, but my turret does much too much damage. I don't feel sorry for them either. ***tankers, **** you all and I hope the nerf trunk falls on you. You ruined Ambush, can't wait till CCP overnerfs you bastards. You deserve it, you abused your power once again, and will be overnerfed by CCP most likely.
