True, but the scenario was that a militia AV is as useful against a prototank as a militia tank is versus a protosuit, more often then not (unless you ambush him and he is distracted or you get just plain lucky) it will end in failure.

That I can agree to, but any man who uses militia tanks is crazy to begin with or likes flashy neon "Shoot me for free points" signs above.

Grrims don't matter in clan battles unless you're ringing for teh lulzs. You need to go for the win.

Well, to all those people who say that a tank isn't easily destroyed by a single guy, I can think of a few occasions:

The tanks are very weak when it comes to their wheels. Plant a bomb on the road (or on a dog like the good ol' days), blow up the wheels and you got a broke tank! I hope the logi guys get webifiers so we'll be able to trap the tanks. Only to find out the guys inside drowned because of their own tears. Maybe even some NOS so they can't use their shield and armor reppers?

Another cool way to destroy a tank would be flame throwers. You might feel real cozy in your tank when it's a normal weather outside, but when the tank's on fire... Well, you're not gonna last long either.

And ofcourse: the orbital bombardment. Seeing a tank desintegrated by a giant death laser from the sky will be a sight to behold!

But regarding the OP post: I aggree. You should be able to see your K/D if you really want to, but the scoreboards should focus on howmuch points you got, or howmany isk you got during the match. The game should give people incentives to play as it's intented.

Tanks should be similar to battlefield once they get below 50% health they become disabled and can't move.

In my opinion, KDR can be an important stat. If you are trying to recruit someone to wear Assault suits and run with an AR and kill stuff for you, then KDR can be somewhat important for that type of recruiting. If you are looking for a logi to keep your team alive, then KDR means almost nothing.

So KDR means only as much to you (or others) as your role on the battlefield is directly related to killing things so your teammates can hack things or blow stuff up or whatever. But until we can get something like stats for HPD or HPM (Hacks per death, hacks per match), RPD (repairs per death), etc., it is the only stat we really have to go by, and, being gamers, we like our stats. Give us something to measure any given role by, and we will have something else to work for.

I'm not too worried about KDR vs. ISK or infantry vs. tanks, etc. In this game it's going to be all about defeating your enemy and the ways and means used to achieve that will be myriad and, at times, counter-intuitive.

In some situations KDR will absolutely matter, in other situations it will be ISK, in other situations the way to win will be to convincingly LOSE the match, the twists and ramifications of decisions and actions in DUST will be mind-boggling.

I guarantee you that for almost all of us Vets who stay with the game that a match will arise where you realize right in the middle of it that you are not fighting the fight that you thought you were fighting. Of course, at that point it will be too late to do anything about it except maybe admire the way you were set up and accept the fact that you're well and truly kittened. Or rage quit, whatever.

And as soon as teamplay is implemented, and comms work properly, and hit detection is fixed, and lag is at a manageable level, and a few other things are in place, the inside of a tank, even top tier with good skills, is going to be a very dangerous place to be.
