Slow firing but large area of affect destruction. Not really something that can be killed by infantry AV as crippled in a specific way. Not something that can nor should be able to or have to dance around another tank to outgun it.

Full low down of Vehicles and infantry

The best quotes I find are these

'This doesn't work so well against infantry. Infantry can be sneaky and the main gun of a tank does not work well against infantry. Most of the rounds carried are anti-tank, with very few, if any, anti-personel.'

Blaster Tanks Don't follow this hypothesis

'Tanks can't see that well to begin with.'

DUST 514 Tankers can use 3rd person and see all around them

'Tanks destroy targets that are too tough for most infantry and infantry keep the tanks safe from other infantry.'

Blaster Tanks don't follow this hypothesis

' Infantry are the nemisis of tanks and there is a love/hate relationship. Tanks hate infantry and infantry hate tanks, yet when the two are on the same side they love each other.'

Infantry are ineffective against Tanks in DUST

'Tanks don't do a whole lot when it comes to defending against enemy infantry but they work very well against enemy tanks. A tank defending alone against enemy infantry, without the protection of friendly infantry is probably going to be in big trouble'

No such problem in DUST for Tanks

'Anti-tank weapons are becoming more and more effective and more widely available. An unsophisticated molotav cocktail can destroy a tank if it gets into the engine (not hard). More and more battles are likely to be fought in cities where the infantry reign supreme.

Infantry AV is garbage in DUST

All manner of tank killing units are organized, from attack jets, helicopters, jeeps, infantry and artillery. Every kind of unit can field an anti-tank element and that element can be very effective.'

Infantry AV is again .. garbage in DUST

Now maybe Tankers will start to see why Tanks are OP in DUST
