Here's a thought,
The reason people see tanks in ambush is because they're more likely to survive since advanced and up AV is OP.
Why?
Because ambush is cqc.
Which means your squad members can eat anyone with AV plus random spawns.
In skirmish,
Tanks will struggle to survive,
AV can be used at full range, even from behind the redline.
Your squad can help you?
I don't think so. |

We got them all the way back to the redline but they were to far away for us infantry to hit. So it became easier for there AV guys to take out his tank.
Lol and did I lose it in one ambush?
Nope, but first skirmish we played, of course. |

Snipers - hide on hill in the redline sniping and most likely will live for the entire game and not do much
Tanks - requires huge amounts of SP/ISK to full upgrade one and use it well even tho milita grade stuff is more than enough to destroy one and tend to go into the heat of battle and get **** done while dodging OB because that is instant death most of the time for a tank
Hm yea they really are the same thing
Philosophically, yes, they are. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet... Just because a tanker pays more and spends more SP doesn't make them any less identical to redline snipers. Both are low-risk high-reward systems. Also if a decently speced tanker is getting destroyed by a militia tank, then they truly suck.  Oh and ambush OB's are pretty few and far between, especially when playing against 100% solo players.  >low risk >tanks Are you ******* kidding me? Yes, tanks are low risk against infantry armed with assault rifle and such garbage, but if someone has grenadier above 2 or has adv. Swarms/Forge guns, it gets really high risk fast. Have you ever even driven tank? Because obviously you haven't, otherwise you would understand the fact that losing a tank means you don't get any net ISK gain at the end of the match, and often it's a net loss. And calling snipers low-risk means you don't understand the way the game works. Yeah, you may do well personally, but you'll lose the match if you can't cap objectives. Just because something works in ambush most of the time doesn't mean it works anywhere else the rest of the time.
+1 and this. |

Especially as tanks are far more vulnerable in ambushes.
Less vulnerable.
Only vulnerable to AV grenades as I've found.
Skirmish is where you die in your tank.

about 3 threads down, there is a post "snipers are ruining ambush"
and the op here is talking about insecurity with tank users?
c'mon man:
how insecure do you have to be to be one of the many snipers who hide and claim "it's not my job" when the squad is ordered to move and take the objective. hell half of these twinks don't even leave the red zone without a secret service escort and an extra box of tampons?
and ambush is straight up codmode. who cares what goes on in there?
really seriously... it's fun once a day.
i'd say if you got it and you can use it, why not? if they have the money to blow through using tanks against casuals, let em do it.
if it's all about insecurity then give everyone a swiss army knife and tell em to go to town on each other.
6 of em will still be trying to snipe from the mountain top with a swiss army knife.
Peace
B Exactly, snipers and tankers are both cowards in their own way, thanks for the clarification  Major respect to those who use guns in this game! (even the heavies!  ) then why can't you use snipers and tanks if it's in the game?
To the guy you quoted.
This is exactly why vehicles will be nerfed to hell and continue to suck.
Because most of the game are AR only and everything else must be cheap and easy so Nerf it.
Dusts direction makes me sick.
I'm just fine with a gun, would you like to test it out? Give me an LR AR or MD.
The end result will be the same as my tank.
Shame on you.
I'd like to see you try tank for a week then i'll accept it when you come back to me QQing. |
