WTF WTF WTF
thats how it works. its called tactics. you should use them. that guy rightfully owned you. you just rushed him you used no tactics. you deserved that death and more.
Then how come tankers didn't use "tactics" before 1.7? They just whined about AV until it got nurfed like those type of players always do. That's not tactics?! That's CCP' s uncanny ability to create inbalance. The amount of things they have brought into this game to help the guys who don't have true tactics is unreal. They need to stop creating things without weaknesses. Vehicle operators should be in vehicle operator suits. Not any other suit. So if he jumps out he's a dead man. That's fair since if he's in the tank he's f****** invincible. Scrambler rifles have great dmg, but are semi auto with heat build up. Heavies have a lot of hp, but there slow. Scouts are fast with little hp. Balance. Tankers are fast, with massive hp, range, lots of dmg, can detect proxies, swarms and other AV weapons were nerfed, and if there tank is destroyed they can just jump out in a heavy?!? Unbalance. I bet CCP can't say balance with a straight face.
Tankers did before 1.7.
Back before 1.7 there was a highly skilled and knowledgible player base of HAV pilots who could do ridiculous things in the face of poor game mechanics and horribly powerful AV.
Now, post 1.7 vehicle apocalypse Tankers require no skill at all, anyone can do it,
.0SP and 70k isk is all you need.
However even post 1.7 you still have a higher class of tanker would can wipe the floor with the newer, less experienced crowd.
Just ignore anyone who thinks 1.7 tanking is difficult or requiring skill.
Its **** easy compared to how it used to be.
