This could be said about anyone in-game , if your infantry or in a vehicle .

Basics ...

what i meant is that i usually have a gunner in my tank sitting in the map marking targets and watching for threats/killing AV

any tanker who does not have such a helper is going to get instaganked.

im just rolling around teaching the next generation of tankers the ways of Chromosome.

2 tanks > tank + gunner.

a navi prevents you from being snuck up on, and 2 tanks is conspicuous. i go for strait ganks, not brawls. im likly to engage the rear tank and pop it and burn away, to hide and recall in the chaos. i engage when i see that the lead tank is in a position where he cant eassily do a 180 and just gun it at me, blaster tankers get greedy and are usually the lead tank so their partners make easy marks.

in a situation like that though the followup is alot more risky, as once they know your there it gets ALOT more dangerous against a pair so i usually cut my losses and leave them wandering the map looking for me for half the game. This way they relax a little and i can squeeze a second gank in before the end of the match.

Nothing infuriates tankers more than not being able to even the score.

A lot of people went that route because it's something new and people flock to what's new until that newness wears off . I wouldn't brag about killing tanks because you have a lot of inexperienced drivers out there so it's no big whoop . Give it 4 to 5 months and then begin to talk . Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

Sgt Kirk Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 9901	Posted - 2015.03.15 16:39:00 - [21] - Quote A Heatsink will do you much better on a blaster tank than a damage mod. It only increases it by about 20 damage per shot while a sink allows you to make up more than the damage before overheat kicks in. With blaster tanks your main ally is you being, agile and keeping the pressure on them. When engaging a tank you will overheat before you can finish him, the sink eliminates that problem. *As long as 5/6 (83%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

That's true the Navigator passenger is a beautiful role that basically ensures any fight against a greater number of tanks is almost certainly your victory. However I have to admit that even my Proto HAV don't really feel all that Proto..... I'm more a fan of using the Eco-Tanks fits and have and winning fights always comes down to smarts instead of pressing into a direct fight. Now I don't know about Shield Tankers but either they must all be fitting their HAV wrong or they are simply new and not very confident but I am seeing some weird fits that never hold up well in a fight. I'll be skilling into them this evening to complete the HAV skill tree to provide some feed back for Rattati. However point is Flank and Gank doesn't all ways work, especially with cheap tanks like the Sica Kaisar....especially if your opponent is looking to do the same thing. Raphael: I'm warning you.

Glad to see my tactics are in line with someone else's. though I typically use armor tanks so I at least was limited in my DPS. That and the fact that I run solo make me not nearly as successful as I could be. I found out today that I am rather rusty at tanking though as armor tanks have been swarm food the last few months. My vehicle alt will be getting a lot of work the next few months I am sure. /Faceplam
