Ok here's what you do.
You and another guy get your swarm launchers
wait for the tank to hold still while it starts shooting people
Tell the other guy to lock on but not fire
when you are both locked on, fire on your mark and keep firing

I have used this tactic with a friend of mine (echo_1991) with him in proto and me adv
So instead of the tickle of 5 missiles there is a deadly volley of 11. Per 1.2 seconds.
we have downed many glowing tanks using this tactic

I only used 1 enhaced damage mod (5%) and be uses a complex(10%)

If you try to 1v1 a tank you are a moron because he will only shoot you if he sees you as a threat
if you 3v1 a tank you will probably cause him to panic and f*ck up his escape and get stuck on a railing or cargo box

Swarms still work and AV grenades are for LAVs

Replace the swarm with a plasma cannon in the tactic if you are fighting a 3x hardener shield tank

So you think its balanced that you need 2-3 guys to take out 1 tank which is operated by a single person? You are delusional.

A lot of balance problems are due to damage mod stacking... Personally I'd suggest dumping them completely or at least giving them a downside.

You are delusional. If you're using the easy mode weapon that requires very little aiming, then hell yes, why should you be able to solo a vehicle just because you have a weapon... You wanna solo a tank, get a forge gun, or a Jihad jeep... You know something that doesn't instawin a fight.

This game doesn't have an anti-tank missile (yet) and if current AV is buffed and vehicles stay the same, dropships would become COMPLETELY useless. ffs those get shot down by militia swarm alone I agree, except on the malitia swarm... that **** can't even kill my basic gorgon, lol.
