You left out one little piece of history: tanks were going 30/0 every freakin' match. Or maybe you just assume that's the way things should be?

Says the guy who with nearly all his SP in vehicles, is still not a competent pilot.

Not even joking. Three Sicas with Particle Accelerators and damage mods sitting at different spots in the back of the redline. Whenever I got close and attacked one, the other two came over and they all fired at me. When I backed off, they all went back to their campy campy spots.

Are you being serious right now? You give the rest of us vehicle users a bad name (not just tankers, because when people see this, they hate vehicles in general). If the redline and those mountains weren't there, they'd be toast. Can't this be fixed? I guess I shouldn't be surprised if it won't. Lots of things need fixing. Chop chop, CCP!

IMO, there should be a friendly redline timer that's set at 1 min when you spawn in redline, and 20 seconds if you are re-entering it.

I have over 77mil SP. More than half of it is in infantry, because there isn't any variety in vehicles. Why are you assuming I'm a bad pilot?

Both are the problem. We can't enough reps, a plate slows us down, and a hardener costs too much to fit. Swarms do far too ,uh damage for how ridiculously easy they are to use. I have them, and Minmando to 5. I recent wasted a Soma in 4 volleys. That's far too powerful.

oh look! a large group of stupid clustered up red dots. im just going to fire in their general direction with my large blaster turret.




+50+50+50+50+50+50+50+50 ect.


all of those tank kills could have easily been prevented. by finding some cover. its not that hard to avoid a tank. especially when all of those tank cannons have no splash damage.

can you get pinned down by one? sure. but you can wait for some1 to organise some av and obliterate said tank. or let it get bored and see it move somewhere else.

Maybe AV was keeping them back there. Its all about rethinking the problem as well. Did you have AV in your squad? Did you bring other tankers?

Shouldn't fault them if they were playing defensively.

I roam all the time out of the line, engaging infantry, but won't put my ass on the line if the blueberries are not, and if their is epic AV or I am outnumber tank wise, I chill in a safe place.

But it's just fine when infantry go 30-2, right?

So, how long ago was this?
Never recall seeing such a thing. I've been here about... 3? years now, and I've never had a time where I couldn't destroy a tank with an AV suit.

I remember there was a time when tanks had moderate defense, but no one really had Proto AV yet. Lots of people were complaining about tanks because NOBODY would try to fight the tanks. I had basic Swarms and had no problems (that's right, not even ADV rank). After that time happened, the tanks were swapped out and given the current name sets we use here. The developers knew what kind of thing they were doing, because this psychological renaming trickery worked, and worked well.

It's basically like a toddler looking up at a teenager and thinking how "op" the teenager seems, but then later after they've grown up, they keep expressing fears of that person relative to their toddler years, even though they've gone off to an office job and the "op" individual is still working at a gas station...

It's the same things with tanks, that I've seen quite often here. People were unprepared, there were hardly anyone with AV skill sets back then. Of course there were all kinds of exaggerations that they would pull from this "legacy" era.
Now, there are a lot more people with skills in AV, that a tank can be downed within 5 minutes of it being spotted on the field.

Back then, you had to plan an attack on a tank. Get it when it rounded a certain corner etc, and you could solo them. Now.... well you can solo one by standing in the middle of a field and spamming your attack, while running straight at them, and this is known to have a reasonable chance of destroying them.


Thinking back... the only time that tanks were absurd was when triple rep systems were clearly in need of reduction. In that instance, I could not kill a tank with my own AV setup (well, aside from remotes, but I mean handhelds like swarm and forge).
