I destroyed a Gunnlogi with basic AV nades and the driver got all butthurt about it expecting me to stand there being a free kill for six seconds using a breach forge gun LOL.
Isukone assault forge gun or Wyrkomi AV nades......choices, choices.

Good tanks, with good drivers can survive the AV efforts of any one merc, regardless of skill or skill points. Someone who skills exclusively into AV is also utterly dependant on having vehicles deployed for the entire match by the enemy team.
In short: yes it takes less isk & sp to counter a tank, but it is also rarely viable to do it that way, and is a major disadvantage to them, whilst you can scoop up kills in the meantime. |

Mainly tanks got nerf after nerf after nerf is because the majority of the playerbase cannot deal with vehicles and want the ability to solo them with next to no investment in SP or ISK or even try and use tactics
They wanted to be able to point something at it and fire it and kill it with next to no effort
Actually you can still use milita AV to kill any tank atm, ive killed Gunlogis and Mauraders no problem on my own against decent tankers and its cheap and easy to do
Back in the day it used to take a squad leveled up in some half decent AV to take down a fitted tank, now you can solo it in milita stuff
Tanks are free points which happen to move around the map

Ah, the QQ flows in delicious waves!
Go ahead, try to inflate your KDR with a tank... I dare you.
In fact, go ahead and try to inflate your KDR with any "I win button" you want.
I will gladly sacrifice clones and KDR to put a /1 on your posterior so that I can harvest your lovely, lovely tears.

KDR is a crutch that I just love kicking. |

I think the answer to the OP is very simple. Im a dedicated tank driver and I would never consider tanks to be something used by one guy in the same way an assault rifle is. Tanks require infantry support and they only get really effective when you have gunners. That is now three people in a tank not hacking objectives. Sure, it can be hard if an AV guy is hunting you down, but i guarantee you he is shitting bricks the whole time because his swarm launcher cant do **** to infantry and a good tanker will put rounds in the AV guy's skull after a volley or two. The swarms are big and shiny and its not like the swarmer is hard to find.
Knowing where the AV guys are on the map and maneuvering around them is part of being a good tank driver, and that is where the infantry support comes in. Get your squad to take em out. Ever try to kill someone with a forge gun? yeah...
AV can be really annoying, but dealing with it makes good drivers good and it will only get harder from here on out. No one except drivers likes tanks lol.
on a finishing note, AV should be something tanks fear...rock beats scissors beats paper... |

Sorry fella but don't believe you. The only way this could possibly happen is if the tank was fitted terribly and the driver had no idea what he was doing and didn't even try to get away.
A well fitted standard tank will have at least 8000 eHP - that's over 6 hits from a militia swarm or AV nade or over 4 hits from a militia forge. Any tank that gets hit that many times by the same one person without managing to get away and/or start repping must be the worst tank driver ever and even then I'm still doubting you solo'd it. You probably just didn't notice someone good actually damaging those gunlogis and marauders with a skilled AV weapon and you managed to get the lucky killshot. |

Considering tanks are only weak to heavy and av, yet counter EVERYONE else...
I think Tanks aren't expensive enough.
Personally - I like where it is.
And militia MUST have av. If it weren't there, tanks would be 100% pub stomp. You want this game to be a ghost town? Keep touting your elitist ideas. Your opinion is valid. I dont know why you have a attitude. Thanks for a decent responce. |

now i can't even have a gunfight anymore?
i didn't wanna be an AV guy but whatever, you all forced this upon me. consider your tank a GIANT target that you're drawing all around yourself. because that's how i see you all now.
really, in my eyes you're at the same level as a redline sniper. you're looking for a way to invincibly farm kills, and i'm sick of it.
actually, you know what. on second thought thank you. i destroyed 6 tanks yesterday (including one guy who ended up 35/2. both of those 2, me. so don't get the idea that it's easy), and it was amazing. my raw hatred for you all is an itch that is oh so satisfying to scratch. burn! all of you burn! -__- dont post unless you have reasons my opinon is invalid.

Take out one of my GOOD tanks, and it'll take me 2 - 3 matches to replace.
Take out a Prototype tank, and that's a good day's work down the drain.
Take out a decently-fitted Forge Gunner with your tank - just one - and he's probably lost more than it cost me to replace my LOLTank. Which, for the record, has over 5000EHP for under 200,000 ISK.
I'm not sure what the problem is here. Tanks are awesome. AV is designed to counter them, but if you're GOOD with your Tank, it requires skill on the enemy's part to actually kill you. They're more likely to put you out of action WITHOUT killing you than they are to actually blow you up... unless they're using those "squad tactics" you want them to, or you screw up.
In one of my LOLTanks, I always know why I died. If I'm killed solo, it's a mid-high tier Forge Gunner, or I got outplayed. Sometimes by a skilled player hitting me from an unexpected direction and sometimes because I made a stupid mistake or pushed my luck going out in the open without support. Other than those scenarios, I don't die to a solo AV player, even when running Militia gear.
Tanks shouldn't be an "I win" button. They should be a credible threat, but a beatable one. And right now, that's exactly what they are. Except Missile tanks. They need their weapons fixed up a little after the nerf (although I haven't played in a few days, so maybe that already happened?). Thanks for the post props for a mature responce. |

For the record im not a bad tanker. I have around 8000 kills and a 5 dkr (because i didnt skill into tanks right away). I dont believe AV needs a nerf. I just though maybe a few tweaks was a good idea. Im looking for others thoughts. If your butthurt that i believe something you dont leave. But if you disagree and can try to explain to me while there fine ill be happy to hear you out and reconsider. |

False, scrubs puck up AV militia fits and shoot you from halfway across the map dipping in and out of cover, cant touch them but lock on range allows them to be assholes. The isk relation is a very real arguement. 0 destroys a 1mil investment. 0 sp destroys 1.6 mil sp investments. Complete and utter bullshit.
M1 abrams comes back after a battle gets hit with 72 RPGs needs its sights refitted, goes back into battle.
Madruger gets hit with three swarm launchers has to limp back and pray the fourth doesnt come.
This is why you make specializations. AV is a bit much, you get more bang for your buck. Yes you can kill 20+ players if nodda damn one pulls out a swarm from across the map. |

tbh if you lost a 1 mil tank to 1 guy shooting militia swarms at you, then lol!

Well in RL military (and I know this aint RL). But are bazookas more expensive than tanks? If not I guess it makes sense here.
Doesn't driving take more time and skill to train in than does holding an RPG??
:P
My input...Stop complaining and play. This is a TEAM orientated game. If you got killed by AV infantry...where was your team?
And if you can't afford it don't used it. |

For a game that's touting its in game market as one of its key features, I have no incentive to drive a tank. I don't care about kills or K/D ratios, and I'm not a clan player. So as a perfectly rational agent, I have no incentive to drive a tank. I'm just going to lose my money every single match. |

After reading through this thread I find it funny that a lot of tank drivers demand that it take teamwork to take down their tank, yet they want to run solo through the battlefield and decimate all infantry. If you expect the other team to use teamwork to take down your precious tank, then you must use teamwork to keep your tank alive. Right now the balance between vehicles and AV is the best it has been in this beta. |

I think your need to add the "HTFU" Post Hardener Module.
Run into a group of infantry holding a swarm launcher and see what happens. You want a solo death machine, not going to happen. |
