Fellow AVers, we can take a high ground here. We shouldn't ask for too much more by way of buffing AV or nerfing tanks. Balance is really close. The only things I would like to see is a RoF nerf on the blaster coupled with a damage buff to keep the same DPS vs tanks but less effective vs infantry, third AV grenade back, or a buff to it's damage, swarm velocity increse, and fix the skill bonus bug to get forge back to where it's suppose to be.

Tanks ARE soloable now. Proof is in this video. If you want to hunt tanks alone, you need to use a combination of AV weapons to do it, you don't have to lay traps and wait, you can use an LAV to position yourselves. The fitting I used in that video cost 71k. All of that footage was shot in one night.

We don't need tanks back to where they were prior to 1.6. Back then I could neutralize damn near any tank alone with only AV nades for MLT and Av Nades and Swarms for anything larger. See this video if you forgot how easy it was for a single dedicated AV guy to shut a tank down before the rebalance.

If we demand too much than we are no different than the pilots who brought us 1.7.

both videos are the perfect examples how to not drive a tank, thanks for making yourself look stupid. if you want to show some evidence, atleast show some properly fit and driven full hp tanks being shot by AV and not some scrubs not moving in the middle of several enemies or even crashing into walls.

btw a proper fit max sp armor tank in 1.6 could absorb tripple damage modded swarms from a single person for 15 seconds and move on. if you do not know how this was done then you are simply not entitled to talk about 1.6 tanks and tanks in general because you simply have no clue.

I didn't catch all the names of the people I killed in that video, but is Big Burns from Escrow a Scrub? He lost two tanks to me that night. How about 8213? Not sure of his piloting skills, but I see him here quite a bit, so I have to asume he knows a little bit about the game. Like I said, every tank that went down in the first video took place in one night. You can beat your chest and declair what your eyes see is not true all you want, even insult me (classy), but it doesn't change the fact that those were tanks, of various hull types, various pilots, on various maps, although all in Ambush, and they all went down. And this super duper god tank from 1.6 you speak of must have been so super secret only know by the very few, the best, cool guy, super 1337 pilots, that it never crossed my path. In 1.6 it was rare that I even pulled proto AV, Most of the time ADV was all that was needed. Didn't your corp teach you to Have some Class, and act like you've been there?

Didn't your corp teach you to Have some Class, and act like you've been there? lol oh well lets check the ambush tank hunting video, shall we analyze it? 1. unhardened, wasnt full hp & crashes into wall => scrub 2. unhardened, wasnt full hp & sitting in the open field doing nothing => scrub 3. militia tank which had remote explosive stacked on him already before, he charged right in front of you then was standing still. no comment 4. shield tank deep in armor already, true damage was done by another tank 5. unhardened shield tank with no booster sitting in the open with half shields => scrub 6. unhardened shield tank with no booster... and so on, we have a pattern here, most of them have a useless fit and do scrub moves because "its a tank". shall I continue? and just as I thought, you have no clue about 1.6 tanking. it was shown with vides and math was posted right in the forums when tank overhaul was announced, not my fault that you missed it.
