definition of a good PC tanker:
Most OP build.
Pop other tanks.
Offer 0 support for your team.
Ever wonder why Death tops a leaderboard every match? That railgun is used for defending a point, no WP farming...
#Protip 3
Tanks are the best infantry support role in the game. A good tank can win a battle.
Tanks have a role that I like to call the '3Ds"
Distract/Disarm- Make enemies switch to AV to pop you, as if they think for some reason you tank can hack a letter. When certainly an AVer can't.
Destroy- Eliminate teams equipment and vehicles. Basically destroying logistics of enemy movement.
Demoralize- Make it so nobody wants to push a point because of 20,000kg of steel lurking around.
If you've done these three things, and didn't even amount to getting a single kill, you've done your job as a tank.
Normally I wouldn't post this in WR, but Eternal Beings certainly could use the info. Because still people think tanks haven't a place on the battlefield, when infact they do, it's just not how you might perceive it.
...now this is the part where you accuse 82 of being a bad tanker, but there is nothing to prove that claim. If half of a PC team switches to popping 1 merc, he obviously isn't bad. If 5 railgun tanks sit in a redline trying to pop 1 merc, 82 did his job. If 82 literally talks to a tank partner step-by-step and feeds them kills because he can, he did his job.
Oh, and the list of those who've popped 82 is actually quite, quite small. So small I can actually list it:
SoTa Pop(railgun)
Death Surrounds(railgun)
Quaser Storm(railgun)
California Catdog(REs)
and Donald Duck(railgun, also the only tank to ever "solo" me. but so what, popped is popped)
-honorable mention to Moody, becasue he dropped a laser on me once
-honorable mention Espeon Bons, because he dropped a laser on me TWICE in the SAME game, while I was on his team!

Nothing. I spent the first half of my life in this game just helping people.
Now, I'm an a$$hole that demands perfection out of everyone around me at all times and the patience of a centipede.
It's very rewarding seeing players in other corps that you helped, and seeing the prosper. Sure, the w/l and KDR suffered, but who cares.
Considering the best players in this game basically amount to who can gank n tank a spawn the best. People who actually camp CRUs. I don't see how most of the "good" players are any different than duna2002. They set up pubs to inflate their stats, but lack common sense in a PC.
Winning a pub with 12 ******** nooberries is much more challenging that any PC.
