if you lose two tanks in a row during the same mission, odds are you are dealing with a dedicated AV swarm or Forgegunner.
At this point it is wiser to swap to dropsuits.
Kill count for the day: Heavy using assault forge
Mission 1:
gunnlogi x2
Saga x1
Soma x1
Mission 2:
madrugar
Assist on soma
mission 3:
Gunnlogi
Mission 4:
Smart saga driver, did not kill him, lost 200k ISK in tankhunting fits.
Mission 5:
Gunnlogi
Soma
This tells me people need to learn not to just rely on the repair modules when fighting and sitting there hoping to weather the storm. The number of militia AV in play has not changed, and once you get to a certain point, militia AV is a joke to cope with for vehicle operators.
but now you have jerks like me who are going dedicated vehicle killer. You can no longer afford to be lazy
Now the flip side to this: My Madrugar tank driving powers over the last 4 nights:
somewhere around 300 kills on individuals on foot, in LAVs and also I'm pretty good at jacking other tanks.
Lost 4 tanks.
then last night came around and ran into a dedicated swarm bandit in three games, and lost my tanks in two matches and in the third one the guy wouldn't stop chasing me around long enough to repair, so while he didn't get the warpoints, he neutralized an HAV on the field.
Tl;DR: don't be freaking lazy and think you get to LOLroll on the battlefield anymore in an HAV. people are getting smarter, and more skilled. |

damn you game balance!
good to know heavies can get the job done : ) Also unless I'm crazy it seems speed mods are crazy useful for tanks
they are, but not as useful as tracking modules. Making that ruttet turn faster has saved my tank alt's ass more times than I can count
heavies are phenomenal tankbusters. but assaults are also good at it. VERY good at it.
But to be clear, this is not a bragging post. I am making a point that you need to figure out tactical considerations to succeed in DUST. Using an AR is the definition of dumb to do AV.
Remember:
The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over the same way every time and expecting a different result. |

Forge cuts armor and shields at exactly the same efficiency. |
