 We saw the Tank near the point on Manus Peak point C so decided to go and make the most of having a Tank there to ninja hack the point and use it as cover and to provide surpressive fire whilst we hacked it .. When you see a few infantry using you as mobile cover under fire from a larger group of enemies instead of driving off to chase after 1 scout you didn't quite kill how about actually helping the infantry rather than chasing after that kill ??? You could have stayed and provided surpressive fire whilst we hacked the point and maybe even got a few extra kills when those enemies tried to push us off the point during or after the hack , Instead you drove off and left us out in the open surrounded by enemies ...
 
 Is this a bad Tanker or the general Tanker mentality of using Tanks as glorified Assault Suits ?
 
 Honestly he was even less help than an infantryman .. at least he could've helped us hack the point faster as an infantryman

 Should you need my tank as mobile defense, run up next to me and start shooting the side. I'll do my best to shield you, though without comms I can't really figure out where you need me to go.

 lol, on domination, I love driving my sica right onto the bridge point A and enemy get scared even though im not realling going to do anything other than distract people and i have my squid come up with me in my two small railgun turrets while i use my big railgun turret to make sure no tank is going to take me out. Also doing this, This allows my team a chance to come in an attack the already distracted enemy so we can hack.

 If I see that using my tank as a road block would be beneficial to the current fight, you bet your ass I'll place my tank in park.

 that's the job of a APC.s not tanks
 
 2nd what tank was it did you even look ? rail blaster ? the tank it self has a roll based off of the main gun!
 
 3rd did you check its HP ? maybe he was under fire from AV may be he saw AV or something eld that could have killed his tank and he knew it was time to go or die Remember in a pub game the tankers not getting payed if his tank gets blown up.
 so why should he stay and go down for a pub game that he could make more isk if he just lived .
 
 4th may be the guy was a noob maybe he hates you or was playing for the other team .
 
 5th why are you asking all the tankers? its not like one tank = all tankers only a scrub would imply this

 That's a bad tanker and there are a lot of them. Me personally will cover hacks and sometimes mobile cover for advancing squadmates or saving someone getting jumped from dieing or allowing a logi to revive a downed teammate. So yeah it's just that one tanker is an idiot and dush.

 1. Blaster Turrets are anti-infantry and currently fulfills the role of APC's .. isn't that the whole reason for having a Turret that's better v infantry than other vehicles ?
 
 2. Proto Blaster Maddy
 
 3. Full HP and not under attack from any AV hence why we decided to use him as mobile cover and support rather than just leaving him to sit at a point by himself
 
 4. Thats why I asked if he was a bad tanker or if this was standard Tanker practice
 
 5. This isn't the 1st time it's happened , in fact apart from Squadded Tankers from the Corp every tanker I've been on a team with has done the same thing .. using the Tank as a glorified assault suit and again I was asking All Tankers if this was a common mentality or just a bad Tanker
 
 This isn't a Tanker QQ thread it's actually trying to understand why there is so little support in general (Not saying all Tankers are like this just a large proportion) from Tankers in situations like this
 
 You are far too defensive, it's as if you think Tankers can do no wrong and it's all the infantrys fault
 
 Honestly I'd love nothing more than a diverse battlefield where LAVS,Tanks and dropships worked in harmony with infantry in objective based gamemodes and if anything I'm trying to get Tankers to start thinking more about the team than their KD/R

 Thanks for the feedback guys It'd be nice if someone could teach the newer Tankers how to use it as an actual Tank to support the team rather than as an assault suit lol
 
 Apart from BAD FURRY .. your so defensive over anything Tank related it's impossible to converse with you .. im not crying for nerfs or anything like that I'm asking for better Tank Support for infantry so we can work together to win ..
 
 When I run as a logi even if someone isn't in my squad I can still support them with reps, revives, ammo and scans and there is no reason why a Tanker can't provide support to infantry

 Well, see this is how it works. It is a video game. Nobody really cares about making it fun for you. Nobody is your *****. Nobody is a tryhard like you. Many ppl want to play with tanks and other stuff. Ppl laugh at this game while enjoying liquor.

 P.S. You ******* assault tryhards are the reason I usually get left for dead and why I tank. Works both ways.

 Sounds like a bad tanker to me. Not surprised because the removal of the SP gap has brought an influx of stupid tankers using tanks as "glorified assault suits."
 
 My role as a missile Gunnlogi is crystal clear: neutralize enemy vehicles at close proximity and provide suppressive anti-infantry bombardment. If my two blaster turrets are filled, then I become effective at engaging enemy infantry as well. If I see you hacking an enemy installation/objective, I will stop and watch your back. Given the right circumstance, I will place myself between infantry fire to provide suppressive fire and give you the upper hand.
 
 Hell, even when I'm driving I do my best not to drive straight through you!

 Thats exactly the type of support infantry are after and I just wish more Tankers out there would realise that it isn't just for killing infantry

 A bad tanker uses it as an assault suit.... however for the most part I cant see behind me, unless Im looking that way anyway.....Im more likely to act as a shield/ cover for my squad mates than for random blue dots behind me.
 
 I did the other day, rolling up to save a logi, then slowly reversing as he retreated out of the compound using my armour as his shield.

 As Adamance said, when on my vehicle alt I'm here to help, and most of the long time tankers I know really take this to heart.
 A few times I've had to shove my tank in somewhere to help take an obj but makes me vulnerable to any AV or other vehicles, but hey, whatever it takes. Most of my builds have a scanner, shove my nose in, scan for reds and let squad mop them up while I guard the hack.
 
 Maybe your tank was in a different squad and they called him over?

 Yeah.... I try to remember as much as possible that I am a support/ battering ram unit, and not the solo star of the show....I do better when I do remember that.
 
 More recently I have taken to enforcing Imperial law acoss Amarr held planet in public contracts which prohibits the unsanctioned use of the Gallente and Caldari HAV units within Amarr sovereign space.
 
 All such units are to be destroyed on site and their pilots apprehended if possible.
