We are still at the point of the beta where everyone's specializing in different weapons and equipment. Not everyone has strong AV as one another. A squad of 4 using militia or standard AV gear is not going to kill a heavy shielded/armored tank especially when most of the time the same team has multiple tanks practically guarding each other out on a small Ambush map. I do destroy a lot of tanks in Ambush, but those are the guys thinking they are tankers.

Ok let me explain something very simple, the solution to vehicle is av nade spam.

Why cause even basic av nades have a higher dps than most SL and FG. Get a squad of 4 people they don't even have to be good. All they have to do is spam 1 button and throw nanohives.

Examples of classes: normal AR or whatever you use plus av nades(if you don't have a nanohive on a ground class you have bigger problems than tanks). This can easily kill an armor tank with 2-3 throws (AS a squad not solo)

For a shield tank on or two guys have standard flux. Combine the flux plus av nades and that's a dead shield tank. Remember do this as a squad. If you are not heavily spec into av you CAN NOT Rambo a well fit tank.

Now please learn how to play this game efficiently so I don't have to explain how to kill one of my tanks.
It is pretty sad how dumb the average dust player is.

Actually grenade spamming is how I kill the weaker tanks, your explain solves nothing unless its a brain dead tank driver that just sits in one spot without moving around the map. The tanks that sit still are the tanks that I call weak tanks, which are the ones I grenade spam. You're the one that doesn't sound like you know what you are talking about. Which you're the guy that's always in the tank, so that explains why.

Sorry I'm not in the mood to talk with an idiot, you joined Zion. That is why you suck at something so simple as killing a tank. Enjoy and learn to adapt

Derek Barnes ZionTCD Legacy Rising 350	Posted - 2013.03.12 01:43:00 - [1] - Quote Every Ambush match I get into now, there are Gunnlogis, Madrugars, or on some occasions Sagaris'. Usually I'm on the team with the better tank(s), but they still clear the field of enemies before anyone does much. I think it's only going to get worse from here on out. Or am I just having very bad luck finding ambush or OMS matches?

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1105	Posted - 2013.03.12 02:01:00 - [3] - Quote Why do you think I only play ambush when I can't get into a skirmish? It's always a clusterfuck of scrubs with ARs, and tanks that shouldn't be in pub matches
Stryker Battalion Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 2	Posted - 2013.03.12 02:03:00 - [4] - Quote I think there are two primary reasons. One obvious the other not as much. 1) Like the rest of us tankers are trying to max SP and ISK gains after cap 2) Orbital Bombardments have chased HAV drivers out of Skirmish since an opposing team has more means and time to get WP. OB's being insta-death and a big loss of ISK to anything but a high end or well built armor HAV. Just my take.

Remember folks tanks die to team work and drunken rdv drones only.

Also, tanks are completely vulnerable now, 1 organized squad can make short work of them. Do you even life?

How did we get to talking about tanks on the opposite team than me? I know how to stay out of sight of enemy tanks in ambush matches, I'm a ghost in the wind. Funny you know me but I don't know you

Good Forge + Swarm players working together is also a good option. Especially if either/both/someone else nearby has AV Grenades.

Yeah in Ambush red zone is not that deep so you can get to them but i was playing Skirmish and the red zone is prety deep for the opposing team and there was this tank far into red zone and high on a hill who was sniping objective A , it was easy for him to get behind the hill if there was any danger for him. In another Skirmish game i encountered same move but it was in our team. I found that a prety cheap move.

You have a dedicated person directing fire at it so it keeps staying hidden. Can you say "stalemate"? The Laser is a viable defense against approaching enemy infantry as well as being available to support the AV guy when the tank pops up again. The tank will spend the entire match hiding, and achieve precisely nothing. Or if you can lure it a little too far forward before opening fire, you can get lucky and rip it open. Or if your team brings a second AV player with a Forge Gun, you have a decent chance of popping the tank before it has time to run. And yes, I've done this to a tank before (Laser + Swarm. I was Swarm). I got more kills with my SMG than the tank guy got with his tank. I only had a couple of early-game hack points, and the 100 points I got for kills on softened-up infantry (thank you Laser guy), but I was the primary reason why an enemy had 0 WP and 0 kills even though he spend the whole match in a Gunnlogi.
