Smart players surprise the tank, most just use tactics to suppress tanks then QQ about not being able to kill one.
Heim! Just so happens that I snuck up behind your tank not so long ago. With PLC and Lai Dais, no less!
It was an Acq or Dom. Train Map. I arrived late in the match to find that we were more-or-less redlined. Spawned at the CRU in our ground spawn and was promptly gunned down by your Blaster HAV. Checked the roster; obvious stomp is obvious. Typically, I'd leave battle at this point, but you didn't have any infantry support nearby, so I thought I'd try to get you back first.
Spawned elsewhere. Scout gk.0 + Lai Dais + PLC.
Ran around the map and found my way back to you. It took awhile, but you hadn't moved much as you were still camping that CRU for easy kills. So I crept up behind and there I waited, cloaked, literally right next to you. Waiting waiting waiting. Your hardeners were up for what seemed like forever. I knew better than to open up on a hardened tank, much less one piloted by a competent player. Almost out of cloak reserves ... and then your Hardeners dropped. Finally!
I decloak, rush in and caught you wholly off-guard. Tossed my first Lai Dai and immediately followed up with a second. The first grenade detonated and you were on the move, rolling backwards as my second hit. You're hurting.
I'm racing toward you with 3rd in hand ... have to get you back into grenade range before you mow me down ...
And just then, you slow down and activate your
other hardener.
Of course you do. Of course you were running multiple hardeners.
Why wouldn't you be? What was I thinking?
Lol. Balance.
In hindsight, my odds were near zero, and I shouldn't have even tried. If V/AV were better balanced, my odds would've been closer to 50/50. Instead, you got outplayed and still maintained near 100% odds of success. With room for error. Even if I had hit you with the 3rd Lai Dai and a followup PLC blast, I still wouldn't have put out enough damage to overcome your second hardener.
