I'm no tanker, but I've heard that AV vs armor may have just been buffed, or the armor mechanic itself nerfed.
so shield seems to be the safe option right now
Take it with a grain of dust, as again, I'm no tanker |

tanks are designed as mobile artillery. As in, giant gun that shoots really far. |

I believe the current record was 2.5 kilometers (which translates to 1.5 miles), shot by a canadian. but the last time I heard something like that was years ago, and it was only counting a kill at extreme range, not any performance on ranges and such. |

Currently tank ranges are under discussion here.
my bad, should have said so.
but yeah, tanks fire heavier rounds, longer distances, and can run over someone if you get really bored. |
