Normally I don't care much for the game mode (it's just a team deathmatch after all), but I realize some infantry players and a lot of new players use it to get their bearings before learning the mechanics of skirmish matI'les.

Sadly I see a lot of complaints that tank spamming is becoming ridiculous in Ambush. And it only serve to make new players play as scrub tankers in militia tanks becsuse it's the only readily available counter.

Therefore I pledge now to clean up Ambush matches from infantry-bullying tankers. And I hope that some of you skilled tankers might feel the same way.

The idea is to play ambush, and if you see ANY bastard who calls in a blaster tank in the opposing team and proceeds to steamroll over helpless infantry, you call in your own tank and blow that bastard up. Afterwards you drive off to a safe spot and recall your tank and proceed to play the match as infantry on more equal terms.

So to my potential infantry allies: I'll be your armored guardian angel against unethical enemy tankers with the hope of giving you a more fun infantry deathmatch experience.

And to all you unethical tankers out there who seem to have forgotten the saying that with great power comes great responsibility: you have been warned! Park your anti-infantry tanks at home while playing ambush or I WILL BLOW THEM UP!

I don't care what skills you think you have or your kdr, trust me, I WILL out-dps you without breaking a sweat, and im rich enough to call in 100 tanks to teach you some manners if need be.

Let's clean up "Tankbush 514" and give the spotlight to infantry. Who's with me!?

Can I uae a railtank to kill infantry?

In ambush you're just farming kills with little risk to yourself (albeit ableit less efficient than a blaster tank would). If you hunt other tanks I won't have a problem though. I'll do my best to get a grip on what you're actually doing with the tank before contemplating taking you out.

Haters gonna hate. Just ignore it. Now that there's some sort of announcment out for all to see, perhaps some of the infantry players will think twice before judging you. Remember to recall your tank though after you've busted up an infantry bully. It'll help people see what you're doing.

In a battle of attrition I never call it quits first. It would go against the personality type I am. Like a pitbull, once I latch on with my jaws, I'm never letting go. And frankly, Ambush isn't lucrative enough to fund whatever tank spam shenanigans scrub tankers cook up.

Of course, calling it in as a deterrence juwhat'kes them bring them out more. There is no winning, only losing less. That is a risk of course. However, there are ways to reduce the risks. Make sure to bring uplinks with you and run away from the action on foot. Plant a droplink as innsurance that you don't get sniped and tankjacked while it is being delivered. Try to make sure that the infantry bully is too busy to notice what's going on (using a suit with dampeners is also a good idea). I don't think i've ever lost a vehicle this way in ambush during delivery. You just gotta footslog it a bit.

And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured kill/death ratios of their brothers we leave behind us. And the Tanker won't not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our railguns and our blasters, and the tip of our missiles. And the Tanker will be sickened by us, and the Tanker will talk about us, and the Tanker will fear us. And when the Tanker closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the farming they have done, it will be with thoughts of us they are tortured with. Sound good?

Im on my way home right now, so in about two hours I'll bring judgement day on the farming tank bullies. Good to see such a fine amount of support. Any AV-endavours are welcome of course, it's just that tanking is what I've done sincebefore 1.7 so my blaster fit will be my counter of choice. Hopefully this little campaign will attract AV-veterans of all alliances and corporations and timezones. Understandably corp-related ops and PC might prevent some from playing ambush from time to time, but with enough volunteers there'll be enough AV-boogeymen out there to patrol Ambush matches for any heinous infractions. I'll be up with a channel name shortly where we can come together and form a decent ad hoc strategy.

Join channel: Inglorious Tankers If you want to participate and discuss terms (like not shooting at eachother when trying to realize the concept etc.) I'll be running ambush matches now to get us going. Hope to see more of you in the channel soon.

Had a pretty rough start but eventually got the numbers up to 4-5 tank kills for every tank that I lost myself (in Ambush that is). I've made an effort not to kill redberries with my blaster, but a roadkill or two plus the odd rogue blaster shot might have caused some deaths. But I think that a lot of redberries that saw me must have asked themselves plenty of times why I just drove thar them when I could've gunned them down (I don't even shoot back at forge gunners trying to take me out, but rather see this as +ñn exercise in evasive driving and tactical module usage). Hope someone's noticed my efforts, and that more will get aboard.
