Nope, Tanks are going to be popping left and right. Scouts with cloaks and REs are the new AV role. Yes, it's a little limited, but will likely do the job of killing tanks fast.

Alright, so these scouts can make use of either 2 AV or Flux grenades. It's difficult to deny how drastict cloaks will shape things. I anticipiate more red line tanking.

Yes, it's a little limited, but will likely do the job of killing tanks fast. you are overly optimistic. REs only work if the tank hangs around one place. Most of the truly tough (wiping out your entire team) tanks, keep moving, and dont take the same paths. Putting on a cloak, doesnt allow the scout to magically keep up with an always-moving tank.
Maybe jumping on a tank and hitching a ride will do the trick, unless CCP fully introduces magic tank lube?

Even if they are not detonated they act as nice positioning beacons for your team.

It's going to let us run up to a tank, decloak, the tank will see us in 3rd person view(cause tanks don't have a blind spot) then they will drive away before we can get the 2nd or 3rd RE on.
Either crouch in the very front of the tank (they are always looking at their rear), decloak, prep the vehicle; or jump on top of the tank and ride the bull as you place REs.

Tis a lovely bug.
