You're getting killed by Jihads, yup it doesn't do your rep very good if you can't blow up a jeep, lol.

Would you rather get downed by a tower forger? or have an entertaining battle with some jihad jeeps... I know which I have more fun facing.

Usually a jihad jeep will get me while I'm preoccupied helping my team, covering my hacker as he takes a point, helping infantry to advance, destroying turrets or redline turrets, engaging hostile tanks, you know tank stuff. I built my tank to be a tank, to be able to take a few hits from another tank or hostile av, that's where tactics come into play. Sometimes my gunner will tell me there is a car when we aren't occupied helping the team in which case I find it and kill it, and sometimes it is a jlav.

I'd much rather fight a tower forge as I have options, I can take a few hits before I go down so I can try and find some cover, or my gunner with his forge gun can get out and counter blap him. I enjoy tactics, jlaving is rather boring in that regaurd. I'd much rather be leading an assault with my tank, providing cover for advancing infantry with my tank rather than playing cat and mouse with an lav. That doesn't interest me.

Busy farming infantry with a large blaster you mean? That's the easy (boring) kill for a Jihad... You actually just said you'd rather, get out of the tank or run vs a tower forger... So you'd rather not tank against them... Perhaps you should try not tanking against Jihads... Or get out and forge them, lol. The idea with tanking is the same as everything, you have to keep your eyes open. If you're covering a hacker make sure you are still looking at as much of the road as you can... You're just another "I don't want to have to work to stay alive" tanker... For gods sake you have a guy ready to jump out with a forge gun, which is just full on scrub mode & the reason there should be a delay on getting out of vehicles. If you knew anything about Jihad jeeps, you'd find just how much of an upper hand the tanker has... But screw it JAST NERF THAT ****!!! right? There's way more quick thinking and strategy in the Jihad vs tank battle than the rest of the damn game put together, but no one seems to be able to figure it out. DELBOY bitches about Jihads, but at least he has the balls to fight them and knows how to make it difficult & fun.
