One of the other things you have to look at as to why people hunt tanks, when they show up, is because a tank is a significant threat that we want off the field ASAP if it's not on our side.

Its because they cant aim and therefore need to use the easiest to use weapon in the game. every person ive seen who uses AV alwase suckes at killing infantry.

Well when using AV we're kind of limited to scramblers and SMGs. So of course we're going to suck at killing infantry. It's one of the things we gave up for being able to ace a vehicle.

I find that the massive amout of armor more than makes up for the forced side arm and also i said the reason you became an AV is because you cant use a weapon that actually takes skill to use. Now i have to admit that tanks dont require as much skill as the normal classes, but at least it requires some skill and also if you still dont believe me that tanks require skill then the isk and sp cost should be the tie breaker. the obvious person who should win in a battle like that should be the tank(or at least he should be able to get away in time if he tries to escape imediately)

You can be happy that your tank didnt cost that much. yea that tank took awhile to take down. had my assault forge but wasnt doing enough damage before you got behind cover. you had an excellent fit on it i have to say.

LOL fail logic there sorry bro. I am specd almost fully into Forge Guns, therby making me able to drop tanks and dropships somewhat easily (if 4 shots on a gunnlogi is considered easily). If i get into an infantry battle i WILL lose, not because i cant aim, but because i have a forge gun (not very useful against an ar as i am dead by the time i charge to any decent player) and an smg ( again will always lose to any halfway decent player with an ar as they have more range). As Shijma said, people use AV weapons and hunt tanks because 1 tank on the field can do more damage than 8 infantry. Im gunna take a guess that since you have a gunnlogi you use missiles since they are the only thing people put on those now since they get that extra bonus. These truly take no aiming.. just look in the direction and keep shooting and at some point you will get a kill. (unless they didnt address the hydraulics and the missiles still toss the tank around which i havent seen yet this build so im gunna guess they fixed that) To me it just seems you are upset that people actually specd into something to take out that rolling death machine of yours, instead of into ARs as most people did since you get more infantry battles than vehicle battles with the price of items. Also, even being specd almost fully into forge guns i can still pick up an assault rifle and kill people, once again defeating your idea that people go AV since they cant aim. Oh and hitting infantry with a weapon that takes time to charge when they are moving actually takes some skill since the gun shakes while charging.
