lol I know this guy. He spent an entire game trying to kill me with some of his friends.

Yes railguns do a lot of damage, but if you're charging a railgun tank head, on in a straight line, and with a militia LAV, you should expect to be one shot.

Railgun tanks do way to much damage for the little risk they take, and can 1 shot basically anything. Large Railgun 80 GJ or whatever can 3 shot most enemy tanks.
This is the one turret that is killing tank on tank combat. Please drastically change it.
I wasn't even railgun sniping from the red line that time lol. (I occasionally do that, but not often ;) I was at objective C on Manus Peak. The first time you took an LAV and drove straight towards where my railgun was pointing I thought it was a mistake, but after the fifth time I thought it was funny. I thought you were just screwing around xD
But yah. An expensive tank (I don't remember if I was in a gunnlogi or sagaris at the time) one shotting a cheap militia LAV (Or even an expensive one) isn't a big deal. The ability to kill NPC turrets quickly isn't that bad too. Everyone can be camped, and the way to avoid it is to spawn at a different location too (like not at the same CRU that you just died the past two times spawning at).
I'm not a fan of peeps railgun sniping from the redline all of the time tho. |

I am happy that I got an 8 page thread about this. ^.^ I thought you were going to bring up something I might have done that wasn't nice (like killing blue dot gunners  )
edit: also, shield railgun tanks can get solod by ONE good AV. I'm not going to tell everyone on forums how, but there are a few people who know how to do it (and devs can check logs :P) |

oh.
Get a better tank :P
I had a great tank battle with chaos mistress. You just need to work on your tank fit a bit :P There are some good posts on the training ground, but it's true that there are no posts on advanced fits for a sagaris. |

Idk, I don't think he's too serious about wanting tanks nerfed and everything. He's just mad about the sagaris loss. I understand his frustration. They are expensive, and it's hard to come up with a good fit for them without losing many millions of isk ;( I got super annoyed when I first started tanking, but I've gotten better now so it's not too bad. I can afford to lose a 2mil+ tank now and then.
It does help to be in a corp with an experienced tanker who can help me out. That saved a lot of $. I still lost a large # of tanks, but it's better now. Everyone focuses on tanks and high Alpha is all shield tanks have against armor. Shield has bad boosters, a ten second hardener with a 30sec CD (armor is 60 sec active and a 10 sec CD), and less EHP. |

I thought you said that
> you always beat shield tanks
> you always beat rail tanks w/your blaster
> you have never lost a tank battle
> you could easily kick my ass in a CB
Anyways, fit and tactics matter a lot. If you're a blaster, CQC is your friend. Rushing a tank on an open field =/= optimal tactics. If a tank is in a position so that you cannot get to him without getting shot, you need to rely on infantry to help, change tactics, or just leave him alone. Leaving the enemy tank alone is fine if the only thing he's doing is waiting for you in his redline, because 99% of the time he's doing nothing to help his team win.
I spent a ton of time practicing my approach towards certain areas and situations, and it has helped a lot. I know it's expensive, but you need to figure out the breaking point of your tank, and the only way you can do that is by getting your tank blown up. There were times that I thought I was 100% dead, but found out that I could sometimes survive in those situations. Had I tried another tactic (like running, charging forward, etc, etc.) I found I would die all the time. I am now better able to judge the probability and likely outcome of different situations. I combined that knowledge with what I would have thought had I not done the other tests, and make the other tanker think or feel like he was at a disadvantage when I was actually in the worst position. If I can get the other tanker to make a mistake and deviate from his planned course of action, I can usually use that to my advantage.
I really enjoy tanking because it involves so many tactics. The thing that amazed me the most is how tankers play in almost the exact opposite way, even though they have the same SP and fit. It's crazy!
Also, playing World of Tanks is supposed to greatly improve your tanking ability. It teaches tactics that you can bring over to Dust. |

ok... um...
so one tank isn't a problem, but you are mad that two to three tanks hurt you? @.@ |
