If a single av specialist can't kill a single tanker....
Then why would the av specialist ever exist.
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.

Really, a Proto breach FG can take down a tank in 1 shot?

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

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

The myth of 3 AV's to take out 1 tank is so wrong. I am one AV specialist and I usually take out more than a dozen vehicles in one game..

Amazing Pothead is a One Percenter (see Tanker Survey).

Anyone want to take a stab at where Taki and Spkr go?

I suppose you go to the 0% no brain at all?

Well your doing something wrong because it works for me

No they can't play an fps with no gungame so they hide in invincible metal boxes with their helmets on and don't want to change that which is why they cried when av was balanced in 1.6.

Do you realize what you just said?
(Now we know which bin you go in).

If you don't know how to solo kills tanks, you don't know how to AV.
If you don't know how to bait tanks, you don't know how to AV.
If you don't know how to ambush tanks, you don't know how to AV.
If you don't know how to get tanks by surprise, you don't know how to AV.
If you need to cry for AV buff, you don't know how to AV.

I am open to major AV buff once vehicles get the variety back.
Also more direct and indirect AV weaponry to get the rock paper scissors, not rock paper nuke.

I realize perfectly.

to all you people saying that you one shot tanks with a breach
and to all you people saying that if you can't solo kill a tank you can't AV

I'm just going to direct you here, and hope you stop stating you opinions as fact.
