Your role has taken some of the hardest hits and have lost much of your customization. Tanks deserve attention.
With that said, some of you forum warrior pilots are some of the biggest cry babies on here.
I wonder how many of you specced into tanks expecting to farm infantry every match.
It obvious by how often you hide on a hill or in the redline.
if there is av on the field: you hide in the redline
if there is another tank on the field: you hide in the redline
if one of your vehicles gets destroyed; you hide in the redline.
All this while even the newberries are charging in trying to contribute.
Yet as soon as you get the clear, you are out there trying to farm infantry and easy points.
thanks for nothing. When i see a bunch of tanks on my team at the start of a skirmish chances are we will lose because you cowards dont want to contribute to anything but your own kdr.
This is directed at you coward tankers out there.
To the many tankers i have met who can turn the whole game around with teamwork, timing and positioning,
Cheers to you.
I'm no tanker but i understand you completely.
When i see a coward tanker, or a redline special fit (armor gunny, base shields [most likely damage mods in highs]) i make it my mission to stress them out. Either i tease them with my dropship till they come out or (in maps where the redline can stretch far out so AV can't reach) jihad them.
I understand if like 3/4 tanks are holding the field, but when it's safe and you run off... I make them know "don't run it if you cant afford it"

So you're one of those that needs the crutch of ~8500 to take out a tank? lol
You know the domination map where the redline has been moved about 50-75m away from the point? If it's safe out and a tank just comes in then backs up and starts sniping people crossing from the supply depot over to the objective, and a slight sign of av makes that tank back up even more, i will jihad the tank. This is my last resort to allowing my team to tread carefully before all the blueberries switch to AV and makes us lose the point. (we all know this happens often when one sees a large target. "Why go small when you can go big?")
As you see why i'd take a dropship to pull the tanker out slowly so i can engage with my dropship... If there is no need for... "absolute intervention" per se.
Psychological warfare is the name of the game. greed kills people, wp greed kills people and costs games. I'm just stopping it when it starts.

Psychological warfare is the name of the game. greed kills people, wp greed kills people and costs games. I'm just stopping it when it starts. Psychological warfare, ie. when I take 4 tanks off someone, they generally stop. Greed, when I feel squirrelly and take out a blaster tank, destroy shield rail and missile tanks (both of which are the superior turret and generally superior hull against a blaster Madrugar), as well as take out infantry, then hear someone like you whip around the corner. Or if I'm on a long road, on goes my go-fast-juice, and I'll subsequently take you out.
I think You didn't read it right...
In the sense of psychological warfare, i test the individual's greed by staying near the absolute range of their weapons. If they wish to pursue and expose oneself from the redline, i've won the mind game.
Also, if you are in the field popping tanks, you aren't redlining. Which is the purpose of quoting the first message. I only jihad redliners who STAY in the red because they too scared when its relatively safe and they interfere with the game. |
