Ambush - Team Deathmatch

Objective - To kill deplete the enemies clones

*Working as Intended*

What I've gotten from this thread is that someone topped the board in a HAV and that seemed problematic. However, the core issue with Ambush right now is not the people that top the board in HAVs, but the people that are readily feeding them those scores. It may seem off-topic, but what I'm attempting to say is that it really isn't that hard to top the board. HAVs topping the board is about as common as a logibro sitting on the top as well.

And no, that wasn't FW. If it was FW I would probably have been kicked for team killing the little ***** that wouldn't do anything but feed the enemy team. I haven't been in FW in... a while.

Added note: I should also add that, if I remember correctly, naming and shaming is against the rules. Aside from all of this stop feeding Ambush HAVers kills.

When someone kills nearly half the enemy clones in a match and doesn't die once, something is clearly imbalanced. Whatever you say about skill or matchmaking or being able to call in your own tanks, every ambush should not be a case of tanker cleans up.

Large turrets should never be anti-infantry.

You're still complaining about ambush.

If I was head of CCP, I would've come to the realization that most, if not 99% of the people that complain about tanks, are in ambush 99% of the time.

At that point, I would've said "Fine, we're nerfing vehicle count from 7 to 4. That's it."

Why? Because you all complain that you can't solo a tank with less than minimal effort. You can't destroy it with a charge sniper rifle, and you can't destroy it with an MH82, and you can't destroy a Gunnlogi with an ELM laser rifle. I then would've started locking threads that complain about tanks, then offering people short vacations from the forums.

Why? Because we get individual nerfs, while for AV to get nerfed, requires a whole rework of the AV-vehicle relationship.

When infantry complained about contact grenades, they were nerfed into the ground. When tankers complained about AV grenades, infantry said "LOL HTFU" and that was that.

Late edit: should've been nerf vehicle from 7 to 4 in ambush only.

This is what 2 tanks do in ambush: http://i.imgur.com/MUk32De.jpg

You mad bro?

This is half handed. The question we must ask is this: What did the mercs do in reaction to the tanks? Did blueberries unite with swarms and FGs to destroy the tanks on the field? It's not like its pre Ambush where several tanks cruised the field at the same time. There's a limit.

Yes, thats what tanks do if mercenaries do not react to them.

In tank slaughter matches like this, I do not blame the tankers because this is what I have seen happen.

Tanks get on field, people run and hide.

Blueberries fire upon tanks with non AV weapons, foolishly alerting them to their presence and placing other blueberries that are nearby, at severe risk. Also at times, they will do this when they just spawned from a uplink that the enemy doesn't know about. Also alerting enemy tanks to a possible kill garden that tankers love.

Once the mercenary dies, he doesn't spawn in with swarms/FG/AV grenades to take out the high priority target.

Teamwork is non existent and its lost upon mercs that if more than one person uses swarms, tankers will back off.

Mercenaries do not bother skilling into the appropiate AV skills to be prepared for tankers.

The above several factors happens frequently. And we do not mention that in these tank QQs. Well I guess not, since its a QQ. Still, we should be finding a way to beat these problems instead of constantly complaining or wanting them to be changed because we do not adjust to the environment on the field.

It's a dynamic battlefield, changing from one second to the next. People don't work together to take down the opposition. Its time we do so. Lets toughen up the spine just a bit and go out swinging.
