The tanker is superior in every way, having better av than the av'er while having the best anti infantry in the game as well compared to the pathetic anti infantry of the av'er.
You could say that cost would be a good reason to use an av fit over a tank. This is untrue for 2 reasons- 1. Obviously a proto av weapon, the only ones worth a single damn, are more expensive than tanks... 2. And more importantly since 1. Is likely to change, cost does not matter for us. Even if everyone had 10 mil isk we still wouldn't care about cost if we wanted to kill something. We'd just use the best option avaiable like always.
THIS. Is the reason av is completely broken. Because every AVer is sitting in a tank. Because you can't be selfish and say"well it should take 3 people to take me out! Because I spent 500k isk on this!" Because when you do that, there's no reason those 3 people won't do the exact same thing you're doing. If you can't deal with the fact that there is role SPECIFICALLY MADE to beat ONLY your role, and think it should take 3 or more of these guys WHOSE ONLY ROLE is to kill YOU, then perhaps you shouldn't be playing online games. You're probably better off playing a single player game, where entire campaigns of enemies can't kill you.
Now then, since av is broken, back to sitting in my tank. Exploiting the idiocy of the forums influence on CCP 1 unlucky merc in front of a blaster at a time. AV can still hack an objective, and a red dot can't pick up their forge or swarm.
Random blue dot jumps out of a tank to hack something, gets killed, then has their tank stolen, and the team has to deal with it. If I'm on an alt and get in one, even if it's fit not the best but decently enough, I'll wreck the other team if I choose my individual battles very carefully. I did just that on an alt; hacked some guy's blaster tank, and proceeded to best someone using a railgun (because I know what I'm doing).
I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't call for a tank nerf before Uprising 1.7. - Atiim

Really...really... Yup Ive done it several times If it did, I would use it. It didn't one shot tanks in 1.7 and it doesn't 1 shot in 1.8 Well your doing something wrong because it works for me Oh man, I love these people.
