So im playing a game, lots of tanks and RR wielding heavy's. About 5 tanks in game and I manage to find the one thats by its lonesome at the back of the map.

And I think, "this is my chance!"

I get out my remotes, run up to the side of the tank. But oh no's he must have seen me coming! Starts shooting at me and takes out my shields (keep in mind I'm a Minmatar piece of paper). But I'm faster that him, he's going backwards up a hill and i have my core sprint up to 5!

This is where the interesting thing happens.

Knowing he cant escape me and my remotes, a heavy jumps out and starts shooting me with his PROTO RAIL. I have 200ish armour and i still manage to take him out down to 20% of his. Fearing id kill him, he quickly jumps back into his tank and finishes me off.

And I'm looking at the kill feed thinking WTH!? How many crutches does one person need? I get past his blaster maddy, I take out a superior tanked suit with a superior weapon and he just jumps, no "ports" back into his tank to finish the job!

Most annoying thing is he probably thinks he's amazing..

Nope, but he's smart. You could have done the same thing but didn't. Blame CCP. Some ppl are going to use the best combo they can to win. This is why this game is silly at best.

Why is it always a crutch when the other guy beats you with something? Isn't that called a stick?

Similar thing happened to me while i was forge gunning close range, guy jumped out and started shredding me with a combat rifle while i was charging, i was aiming for his tank and he got in the way of the forge blast. I got lucky that one time.

One would think if he hopped out of his tank It stopped moving, and therefore was a sitting duck. Oh wait, you probably didn't have a squad... or a mic... or any situational awareness. Git gud scrub

Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4483	Posted - 2014.02.15 15:25:00 - [22] - Quote From what I can see, you were probably running a Scout suit, and you got spotted to early while trying to go solo against a tank with REs that require practically melee range, took some damage, then saw the guy ditch his tank, and DIDN'T get an opportunity to get close, but didn't think to back off instead of fighting him, and you were SURPRISED when he turned back to his tank after almost getting killed? Sounds like intelligent play to me. Yes, intelligent play with abuse of hard-to-counter game mechanics, but he used them sensibly. Remember: People who rely on a crutch to win are the people who fall when it's knocked out from under them. Watch what that player does in 1.8, and whatever comes next, when that RE Scout isn't so easy to see coming, because he's cloaked. If he still finds a way to beat you, he wasn't using a crutch.

A real tanker doesnt get backed into a wall, or really even have a backup weapon in there generally. All skill points invested in the war machine under them. The tank itself isnt much of a crutch considering you can sneak around them alot of the time and just completely ignore them...Though I think the militia tanks need to go. I personally dont see the problem with tanks... Dedicated Stealth Scout. Scout instructor; Learning Coalition Scrambler Pistol dedication
