Swarms are a good example with the changes as they are actually lethal for a tanker now. That sustained fire of missiles coming in and not being able to out repair the damage fast enough has made swarms viable again.

^ Bullsh!t.

Corpmate (Hauker Due) and I drive up right up behind a Tank, hop out of our LAV and fire volleys as fast as we can.
We're both running Proto Swarms. He's Proficiency 5. I'm Proficiency 4. Teamwork, and all that.
What do you think happened?

Same match; same exact scenario. Except this time we pull up to a parked Dropship.
We hop out and fire volleys as fast as we can; the dropship takes off.
What do you think happened?

I watch people solo maddy's with wiyrikomi swarms these days..

is it swarms of 1.5? hell no.... Can a tanker alternate hardners and sit there and tank several swarms for a minute? Hell no!

Other then running for their life as a defense what can they do?

Good tankers that can survive with consistency are just good players.... They would be hard to kill in whatever you put them in.

That's the bone you throw at infantry for essentially handing this game over to tankers in 1.7? You nerf the **** out of every effective AV weapon in the game, make tanks ridiculously cheap, ridiculously fast and ridiculously impossible to kill and and then add insult to injury take away one third of our grenades in 1.8 and all infantry gets in return is a measly maybe twice a match 75 points for tank damage. You've got to be kidding me.

Good tankers that can survive with consistency are just good players.... They would be hard to kill in whatever you put them in. Fine, "running for their life". Yeah. I'm a proto swarm just like I'm a proto forge just like I'm a proto AV nade, just like I'm a proto proximity just lime I'm a proto remote... And because the dicks that built this game and rule it with their effing "updates", they've given ridiculously impossible speed to tanks to "run for their life". So all a militia tanker has to do is slaughter infantry at will until he gets hit enough to threaten its health and he hits the booster to "run for its life" with its ridiculous speed and after a few seconds it's road killing infantry again. Tanks are effing OP beyond any argument. Period. And AV weapons and fighters are effing defanged way beyond acceptability. Period.

I'm sure forge guns farm wp off of my python, they knock me into armor if they are good, and a lot are And so am I. So lemme ask you. How often to you get "killed" in a match? Once? Maybe? And how many kills do you get? Methinks in doubles. I solo tanks almost every time I play. I may kill a tank every three or four matches and I never, ever do it without help. And, as I've said. I've been doing this for a long Dust time. I'm pretty good at ti. I'm proto in every AV category. I have the tools. I have the experience. I, before 1.7, killed many vehicles. It wasn't easy to do it then but I tried, I leveled up, I learned. And now. No matter how much experience, no matter how much skill, no matter how much proficiency... no matter what. I cannot solo armor unless he/she is either totally stupid or totally suicidal. And don't give me this crap about armor being the "ultimate weapon on the battlefield and it would be impossible for an infantry fighter to defeat an armored vehicle by himself". Bullshit. Infantry in the real world take on and kill tanks routinely. "But, oh wait. This is the magical future in a galaxy far far away. Surely armor then and there would be so much more advanced and powerful. Right?" Bullshit again. As armor evolves, so does the weapons to combat it. AV fighters in this magical future world would have the tools and the talent to take on tanks and win. There's a balance and the dicks who've developed this game and run have taken that away.

Switch to the breach...problem solved. Yer immobile with the breech. A sitting duck. A tank can fire, how may times a second? Many times a second, with I might add nearly the same lethality that a single breech forge can deliver in one shot. Your breech can fire only 1.4 times a second. And that tank gun? It's damage per round will kill you many, many times over before you get off your second round with the breech forge. Yer dead and that thank is moving on to another kill. Yeah... NEXT!

I should have been more precise. That.s one breech round every 1.4 seconds. Eyeah. Standing there. Immobile. Unable to move. In the open. With that dastardly tank reigning lethal fire upon you. Fer one point four fookin seconds. My bad.
