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.

Does calling in a Tank to counter those 4-5 HAV count as ruining the match?

Frankly speaking I'm cool with 3 HAV per side in a match....would be better if there were objectives and or control points HAV and vehicle users could work on outside of the infantry combat zone.

Totally agree with all that, the way it is now is not cool.

Maps designed for tanks and no man's land for infantry (have to use a vehicle to get from point A to point B) would be cool, but we don't have that.

In the meantime, AV needs to kill tanks.

Infantry needs to stop insisting on soloing tanks, then subsequently having CCP nerf tanks so they can continue to solo them.

There should be a range that tanks can't dominate. Keep swarms like they are and give us webifiers. 2 Lavs with 6 guys could tackle a tank and take him down.

It would be better than Jihad Jeeps.

There's no real way to counter tanks consistently for a squad with no tankers. In PC you'd fit your team accordingly to deal with tanks and it's easier to team up on a tank with more than 6 guys on comms.

Okey it may be my English or my bad mathematical skills, I just don't understand the last post! So 6 guys hunting down one tank! What if there is more then 2 tanks on the field and what about the rest of the reds? Are they having a tea party in the mcc while we hunt down tanks? Plz clarify I just don't understand War never changes

Ppl just fail to grasp that the hole game is centred around the ability to kill of tanks and that's the hole problem you are more or less forced to putt a cuple of Miljon sp into "tank buster" as it's now. Oh a f it's AWSOME that the cuple of Miljon of sp that was thrown into the water Mellon launcher is useless now. A proto water Mellon launcher outfit cost 3 times ( or more ) than a SICA. Buy hey let's waste some more sp just into AV. I just put on a starter fit and jump into a SICA And the tank spam begins Get the picture ?!?!? War never changes
