Lol.

Two Heavies (WARRIORS) complaining about tanks, no surprise there.

Each game I've been in with you ICE I won with my tank (On your team, unfortunately), I also got more WP than you.

Duh, you're in a tank, of course you won, of course you get more WP. Roll

Tanks are fine, AV is the problem, it's a joke.

But yeah well done on getting more than 1 guy with a gun while in your tank. Congrats.....lol.

Buy an aurum gunlogi and an aurum ion cannon, slap as many shield mods as you can oon it, and see how long you last. if you can last more than 10 seconds against a single dedicated AV merc, you're right. If you die, you go back in your AR hole. The difference between the great tankers and those who would be, is that the greats will run at the first sign of AV anything and let their infantry deal with it, whereas scrub tanks think theure indestructible and 5 seconds later, theyve been hit by 4 swarms, an AV nade, and a proto forge bc a tankers kills are directly proportional to how many AV players are tryna kill him.

Barring the above situations, a well-supported tank is a powerful asset to any team, and is VERY difficult to shut down. In Skirmish in particular, and to a slightly lesser degree, OMS, a cautious tank driver can be an asset without the required infantry support.

I think it's worth mentioning that, without any AUR expenditure at all, I can build a 270,000 ISK Sica that can go up against up to 3 Swarm Launchers (Militia or Standard) and gun the AV guys down before they kill me. If I have gunners, I can sometimes survive long enough to clear 2 Forge Gunners.

Never works for me Nope, but I can get a LOT less than 300m away without dying.
