No sht I just played a game on Ashland the other day and got my tank trashed because I was right next to that turret on our side in the redline when just as I had scouted and then about to move forward a guy ninjaed it and shot my tank down. I'd shoot every turret if I could before they go blue. I'm so sick of TANKOPHOBES who insist these turrets do any good staying on the field. The only thing they are good for is for the enemy to red them specifically to prevent tank warfare. That's great if no one on your team is running a tank.

I'm currently using a 500,000K ISK Advanced HAV and usually averaging around about 300,000 ISK per match in gains. Not often I lose a tank unless I am doing something particularly unintelligent since I usually limit myself to 1 HAV per day before logging off.

I roll in and mainly worry about infantry assists. A tank could very well roll up behind me, and has, and just three shot me. My payoff is infantry kills, scans and mCRU spawns. I got tired of rolling around trying to hunt tanks and either there are no enemy tanks, two rail tanks which just ends the whole thing right there or someone just calls a tank down when your busy anyway. I got to where I'd rather have more fun helping infantry in a cheap tank. A cheap tank does just as good with smart tanking as a more expensive tank. The CPM candidate we need, not the one we want.

I normally deal with them with a Blaster using a hillside or terrain feature as cover with the intention of being able to pop in and out of cover, destroy the turret, and not have to use my Armour Hardener. That being said at your stage of the game it might be best to use a Railgun to destroy them from a distance, recall your HAV, and then bring out that tank you would normally use without the risk of turrets. Play around with your fits and make specific variations of your tanks for certain roles. Don't feel like you have to stay in one tank for the whole match once you have called it in. Also just one quick tip for you as a new player...... 'Never treat your HAV as if it can tank damage even if it can' As counter intuitive as it sounds I try to treat my HAV as though it were not able to sustain a large amount of damage this is why rather that moving into open terrain I prefer to sit in sockets, behind hills, or near other forms of cover. The best way to tank damage is to not be hit in the first place. Also if fighting another tank, especially an Armour HAV, never rush in always try to have a plan in mind. E.G- Take a Shield HAV.......they have no barrel depression which means they cannot aim down without driving onto something to angle the hull. Pulling a Shield Tank onto rough terrain where you can end up below their turret will secure your a win. Consequently if you ever wish to drive shield tanks.....DON'T EVER GO INTO ROUGH TERRAIN, if you have to always try to be on equal level or lower than the enemy.

If anything is to save this obviously dying game, it's tiericide. For starters, leave the militia tanks alone -- Not only are they laughably easy for enemy tankers/turrets to pop, they have awful slots and space for parts...A shame you didn't join a year and a half ago, when militia tanks dominated...Like others said, the best option for you right now is probably hiding your tank in a far corner of the map and doing some rail sniping...I don't know how much skill you've invested, but you'll have to invest a LOT to reap some rewards regularly...

You must engage a rail installation by rolling behind cover and coming out and shooting it bit by bit. I guess now a rail install is hard for a blaster. They just changed the installations to be aggressive again. A blaster installation is a joke and missiles are ok at a distance. The CPM candidate we need, not the one we want.

Azel Xerath Bragian Order Amarr Empire 20	Posted - 2015.06.08 13:57:00 - [43] - Quote I had a very good match today by following True Adamance's advice. At the beginning of the match, I called in a Rail Tank and set about destroying as many Installations as I could. I managed to destroy 3, then I retreated and called in a Blaster Tank. I played smart and managed to get 8 kills! I also skilled into Enanced Armour Mods, and I'm now running two Enhanced Armour Hardeners on my Madrugar G-1. It's nice because my cooldown time doesn't feel so long. I only lost one Tank, and so I managed to make about 60K profit. I lost the Tank though to a Grimsnes which had a passenger who was manning a Railgun. It chased me all across the map and stayed above me so that I couldn't shoot at it. Whenever I was able to briefly position myself so that I could shoot at it, it would just fly up again. Eventually, I drove past some Swarmers who weakened me enough for the Grimsnes to get the last shot in. Any advice on how to counter Drophips like these?

Azel Xerath Bragian Order Amarr Empire 20	Posted - 2015.06.08 15:02:00 - [45] - Quote Just had an absolutely fantastic match where I went 12/0 and came first place with 1865 WP! At the start of the match I called in my Rail Madrugar and set about destroying the Installations. However, I quickly noticed that a blueberry had joined me in my HAV and wouldn't leave. 'Great', I thought. 'Now I won't be able to recall my Tank whilst he's still in there'. So I instead played the rest of the match in my Rail Tank. I love it! Installations weren't so much of a problem anymore, and it's really effective against vehicles! I destroyed two other Tanks, two LAVs and a Dropship with my Rail Turret! It's also deliciously evil to snipe infantry with them, and it's not even as difficult to do as I thought it would be. It may even be more effective against AVers than Blasters because of the OHK capabilities. I dare say I prefer Rail Turrets to Blasters...

Little to no way to counter a dropship unless you catch him offguard from a distance with a rail from longe range. Otherwise, pull out the swarms. Easy for a DS to avoid your fire. If a DS or ADS wants you he'll bother you the whole match. Try to bait him to an incline near your redline where you can fire further upwards and he can't hang around over or behind you too long.

Don't kill your turrets unless you have to... In the (rare) event your team actually does something... In an ideal world, defending these installations from other tanks/AV/enemy installations is part of a tankers job. Sitting by a blue blaster turret can be quite amusing, enemy tanks will have to keep their distance, or deal with 2 rounds of fire... Absolute drivel. Knock out all of the turrets you possible can young tanker. All they serve to do is allow an enemy team control of a specific area if captured. Turrets are are in my opinion one of the most limiting factors of where you can operate your HAV, especially areas within sight of Railgun Installations. So all they do is help your team control an area when they're blue. They make life difficult for enemy tankers, which in turn helps tankers that aren't all about the infantry farm. Dear OP, you'll have to make your own mind up on this one, some people can't keep an eye on the map or colour of turrets, for those people it is best to just blow everything up at the start of the match... But if there's a more competent tanker on the opposing team, all you're doing is gimping your own team.
Azel Xerath Horizons' Edge No Context 20	Posted - 2015.06.14 01:59:00 - [50] - Quote I came back to DUST after 3 or 4 days to see that I'd built up around 250K SP, but everything took so much SP to skill into that I decided to just let it accumulate a little more. I joined a squad from State Task Force in the hope of buying some State Missile Launchers. I did buy some, but I found some problems with them. Firstly, sometimes they seem to fire full auto, but other times they don't. I don't think it's an issue with my controller. Sometimes when I hold R1, only 1 missile is fired, but other times it empties my entire silo(?). I've also found that they're not very effective against infantry. They can be useful against vehicles, but I find them to be situational. Overall, I've been doing much better than I did when I started out. I've developed a neat little tactic. Firstly, I call in a cheap Rail Soma at the start of the match to deal with Installations and other vehicles. Once all the vehicles and Installations are taken care of, I retreat into my redline and call in a Blaster Tank so I can be effective against infantry. I think that the key to successful Tanking is to be adaptable. I had much more success when I realised that I didn't have to be in the same Tank for the entire match. Railgun infantry kills are extremely satisfying, especially when you're in the 3rd-person view. TL;DR: Things are improving.

Azel Xerath Horizons' Edge No Context 23	Posted - 2015.07.17 22:41:00 - [51] - Quote Hopefully I've built up quite a lot of passive SP since I've been away. I might hop on a little later to see how things are.
Azel Xerath Horizons' Edge No Context 25	Posted - 2015.08.04 00:59:00 - [52] - Quote I'm back! I returned to find about 1.2M of passive SP had accumulated, and I used it to unlock Advanced HAVs and Proto Armour Mods. I also took Armour Fitting Optimisation to Level 2 to improve fitting space. The break has done me good, and I'm suddenly a much, much better Tanker! It feels much more natural to me. I remade a couple of my fits too. On my Madrugar, I'm running a 120MM Plate, 2 Armour Hardeners and a Heavy Armour Repair Mod, with only a Scanner in my Highs because I can't fit anything else. I'm still using Militia Turrets though. And you know what? I haven't even died yet. That's right! I haven't even died once! I've amassed a total of 42 kills since my return, and not a single death! That puts me in the 20th spot for Weekly K/D. My best match was when I went 18/0. It was remarkable being able to fend off multiple AV and still have a presence on the battlefield. My strategy in matches is to call out a Rail Soma at the start of the match and use it to destroy as many installations as possible and to gauge the status of the enemy team's vehicles. Once the installations have been destroyed and I'm convinced that there are no enemy Tanks on the field, I retreat to my redline and swap into my Blaster Madrugar. So far, this method has worked superbly for me. I even have a grand total of 1,248,025 ISK in my wallet! Things are looking up!

Because driving using a controller and a keyboard makes a significant difference (especially when we talk about Madrugar). With a keyboard, Madrugar maneuvers much more smoothly etc etc. Look at your daily missions to see if there are good ones to earn extra SP and ISK (r1 in quarters). You can get from 500k to 1m ISK and up to 50k sp from daily missions. Not always, but often enough. Loyal to The State Official Caldari Commando User

I quickly put together a Standard Rail Madrugar though and reengaged. i got him to about 200 Armour, then a blueberry finished him off. Then I died again when I passed a hostile installation on my way back to the redline whilst my Hardeners were on cooldown. I hadn't gotten the chance to destroy it because my Rail Soma had been destroyed by the Blaster Madrugar.

Absolutely nobody is willing to squad with a new player; not even in the Learning Coalition. It's just so frustrating. How am I supposed to do anything when there are other players who have infinitely better Tanks than I do??? It's not fun, and it's not good for the NPE. If anything is to save this obviously dying game, it's tiericide. Cover status: blown. You've been made homeboy, your forum warrior skirt is showing. (Gê¬n+Ç-´)GèâGöüGÿån+ƒ.pâ+n+ín+ƒ.
