DUST Search - This is why I just laugh at tanker tears.

GÇó30 minutes ago.
GÇóFirst time I decide to play Dust for a week or two.
GÇóFigure I would goof around with a Plasma Cannon, as they are the only weapon that I find to be much fun still in this game.
GÇóJoin Skirmish.
GÇóAshlands.
GÇó5 minutes into match, I see a real tasty looking Gunnlogi. After glancing at his HP values, I figure I should be able to get him if I can land 4 shots.
GÇóSneak up behind him. Get behind the tank.
GÇóLand first shot. Critical hit, back of tank.
GÇóTank takes notice. Tries to shoot me with Large Railgun. Misses pathetically.
GÇóHe switched to the lower turret and fire a small railgun shot at me as well. Also misses.
GÇóI land the second shot. Not a critical hit, because he turned when he faced me. But his shields are down, and I've scratched his armor!
GÇóOne more shot and he is mine!
GÇóA full 8 seconds has passed so far.
GÇóTank activates nitrous. Zooms away to redline. He was 100m away and leaving by the time I was reloaded and back on target.
GÇóI follow him to redline. I camp him. Landing shots here and there, but not enough in a row to pop him.
GÇóFor the rest of the match, he sits 250m into the redline, taking potshots at me.
GÇóWe were in this redline situation for the rest of the match, which lasted probably 9-10 more minutes.
GÇóOur team loses, the rest of my allies were actually redlined on the other side of the map during this whole thing.

Thing is. This happens ALL THE TIME.
Tank drivers are complete wusses, and AV is not OP.

I did everything right, and he did everything wrong. But I still didn't get the kill.
I was able to sneak up on him for a critical opener. I landed every shot. I generally took him by surprise. I'm using a weapon he is weak against...
He missed every shot when trying to kill me. Every shot. He wasn't being aware of his surroundings.

Everything was supposed to be in my favor. But nope. Apparently I don't deserve the kill, because tanks are supposed to be invincible...

Tl;dr
Buff Plasma Cannons, or Nerf tanks again. Preferably the former. I ******* deserved that kill, and nobody can argue that point.

He was clearly unable to even fight back, and you weren't even using a decent AV weapon. You should have put "In before idiot double standards himself!" http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

I'm wondering who's the stupid one here for calling someone stupid over a post that meant no harm. Quit being butthurt. I read what he said: "I met a tank that could not fight back. The only option the tank had was to retreat. I wanted to follow it into the redline, but could not. We should make tanks even weaker, so that I don't have to try." You seem awfully defensive over someone else's post, BTW. Either use logic or please stop replying, Vapor. The double standard is as follows. "Being unable to fight back as a Dropsuit is unfair. Being unable to fight back as a Tank is fair." http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.
