Frustrating that any non-idiot DS pilot can avoid death so easily while i've got 15 enemy infantry to deal with using just a sidearm, but I guess that's the cat & mouse of it.

At least it provides a niche in the game for those that have no balls. (I don't mean ladies, the ladies I've met on dust have way more balls than ADS pilots.)

forge guns, ill stick around and duel a forge gunner mono a mono with my ADS. why? because hes got to aim and hit me.

i dont **** with swarms. why? becuase he aint got to aim **** its fire and forget, all the fancy flying and arial stalls dont help jack against a seeker ******* missle, the ONLY dodge is to outrun it.

so i guess what im saying is, only a guy with no balls trys to kill an ADS with swarms, be a man and pick up a forge gun.

Well no one will kill ADS with swarms. They rather try to make them retreat for few secs.

Is is that it cost to much SP and you want easy mode? Is it hard for you to do tank battles? Are you not good at it? Or are you scared to fight people on even terms? Or maybe it simply cost to much money. HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT!! HEADSHOT!!! HEADSHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=earCbU6vgAo

They say when you die you see a white light which then forms the line of: "GAME OVER! PLEASE INSERT COIN"

Lol i camp out on Railgun installations and wait for that poor tanking bastard to get in my range so i can **** him. They usually think those things are unmanned so i get the upper hand most times.

But I know those things are expensive so I just collect my WP with wyrkswarms and let them fly away... Suomi, Finland, PERKELE! Logibro

The smarter option is to use a commando then you at least have a light weapon and more health. Why?

I specced AV in closed beta because tankers get so very offended when their precious toys are vaporized by FILTHY INFANTRY POORS! I enjoy AV because I love watching expensive toys burn. I enjoy it because killing a tank on foot is more interesting than slogging it out in another tank. But mostly I love AV because you disapprove.

Or maybe it simply cost to much money. Or, maybe... tanking is boring, unimaginative, and lacking enough diversity to spec into it. When CCP brings back the old vehicle system that existed before 1.7, then I'll go back into it. Until then, I think I could speak for a lot of the older tankers in saying that this role just isn't enough fun to be worth the SP investment. Nova Knives are best sidearm.

People don't need to counter a tank with another tank when AV will do the job. It's just easier and cheaper. If you want to fight tanks on even terms... well there's another game for that, it's called WORLD OF TANKS. Stop playing to get TANK fights. And if you truly want this to happen then stop using TANKS to massacre infantry. But, I couldn't ask you to do that because that would be me asking you to change the way the game was designed. It's broken, you'll have to deal with it. But there is a solution... Stop playing dust altogether. DESTINY is coming out next month, roughly 20 days from now. 9.9.14. Newb

Not sure what's funnier, running a tank over in my madrugar or solo'ing "tankers". If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

Or maybe it simply cost to much money. AV is actually effective again. AV players switched to tanks because we were very much forced to. We would much rather use our specialized fittings for av. As far as me using av over tanks.. No i have no interest in spending sp on tanks for any reason. I am pretty good with a tank. Despite having 0 sp invested in them during the dark days when my av fittings would tickle and not do enough damage to deter tankers i ran militia tanks. During this time i racked up multiple gunlogi and madruger kills. Lol talking about even terms against av player. How is it even? You hit most suits on the field 1 time with that blaster and they are nearly dead. I hit you once with my forge gun and you still have armor to spare. Money.. LOL really you think tanks are expensive these days.. LOL you are funny kid lol. O this is too much lol talking about tanks and money these days lol.. O my god i might die from laughter on this point as though tanks are expensive... O ya dont want that 200k isk or 500k isk tank to break my budget lol.
