Somebody give it to me straight. Strolling through the forums I find little mention of the recent changes to tanks and how it might have affected their game play. I myself have not delved into this new hotfix, but what little feedback I find has been utter crap.

I find most of it is from people too caught up in the pub mentality (being pubs will ALWAYS be unbalanced) or inexperienced low SP players trying their hand at tanks and getting blown up in the process.

I'm more interested in how things play out in a more balanced and competitive environment (compared to a pub match that is), PC. I'm well aware that I can go into a pub match and stomp every living thing into biomass or have the same done to me depending on what and who was put on my team.

So is the gunnie still under performing in comparison to the maddie (I assume yes)?

How has the meta shifted with AV and Vehicles? Before many maps didn't allow or need the heavy use of HAV's. Those that did though were often shut down by enemy AV or at least denied many area's of the map. Not always the case of course but a strong team tended to field infantry AV in the face of enemy armor to much greater effect on the overall match outcome.

I'm also interested in some pub stuff like what's your average KD/R with tanks and how much of a contribution do you feel you made to the game overall. Compare that to how well you would do in a suit and how much of a contribution you make in said suit over your vehicle.

Do you feel you are better off in a vehicle most times or a suit? Consider the win, if you lose by a large margin and you spent most of your time in a tank you were probably needed on the ground not in that vehicle.

And please, AV users chip in here and tell me how you feel now taking on tanks as opposed to taking on tanks pre hotfix.

This is how you go about making constructive feedback btw, enough with the crying. I'm more interested in how things are actually going out there and it requires a little thought. I'll respond to these questions soon myself.
