AV has gotten alot more effective over the last few days as people have developed their skills. I drive a tank and have noticed a definite difference in how often I run for cover and losses vs wins. There are a few proto weapons out there now and believe me, you can tell the difference when they hit you.

I respect your tank skills.

Anytime you want to meet me on the field as a foot soldier

I'll be your huckelberry.

Again, every single role on the battlefield that doesn't involve running and gunning in close quarters is "easy mode". Its no wonder I get bored of darn near every shooter I play these days. The fact is that a tank should be an asset capable of holding a large number of infantry at bay, because that's what they do in reality, which pretty much all games are a simulation of in some respect. And no, the fact that you yourself cannot solo said tank with some kind of one-shot rocket launcher or something is not bad game design. We're playing in a sandbox with a limited toolset, and as the RE debacle of last build showed, and as you can see in pretty much any other game, people are going to go for whatever can give them an edge on the battlefield, such as sniping. With tanks, well, people are gonna specialize into tanks because this is an MMO. When you get into a large armored battle, you're going to need as many tanks as you can get.

Well said. We should all spec into tanks. Problem solved. No reason to have foot soldiers.

I'm going to get myself into trouble here, but you remind me of Christians that take Bible quotes out of context and use them as justification for hating people.

My point is that a tank is not an asset that should be destroy-able by a single player. When a tank is on the field, it should be able to mow down infantry with ease if they're dumb enough to get in it's sights. I was in a Corp v Corp battle on Friday where we darn near won even with 2 Sagaris's and a Soma on the field because we moved in groups and skirted around the tanks, leaving them nothing to shoot. Those tanks didn't last the whole time either. A Sagaris and Soma were both destroyed and had to be recalled because we lured them in with a Heavy firing an HMG at them, and then threw down AV grenades from a nearby hill.

You can't, and shouldn't be able to take down a tank on your own. However, you can accomplish this fairly easily even with a single squad of 4 if you outsmart them. Play to the fact that the driver probably fancies himself invincible, and give him what look like easy targets, as we did.

could you at least add a bolded and/or all caps some before Christians. It would be a bit less offensive.

We should all spec to scouts suits and all other kinds of stealthy ****. Then battle out while playing hide and seek with tanks.
Tank pilots will never know what hit them, because nothing hit em and they'll just get annoyed when they can barely find anyone.

They should also click the friendly-fire switch on with heavy team killing penalties. That way you would actually need to watch where you're pointing your boomstick.

If you walk in the way of my hmg, exactly who's problem should/will be?

Well, the only penalty you'd incur is gunning the person down. Its always their fault if they're dumb enough to walk in front of your bullets.

I'll somehow find a way to cope with killing my teammate's best fit because of their actions. (Extreme sarcasm)

You deal with that the way anyone should in such a situation: tell him its his fault for being an idiot and to suck it up.
