I have too many stories. My two favorites was terrorizing a blue dot, thinking I was camping spawn ( in reality I was seeing if they were bringing in armor so I could have an excuse to try out my new Rail Cannon). So...hes shooting, grinding up on me. So...popped out the tank, filled it with some of my buddies and pushed him into red line. Pulled out, and watched the kill feed. He spawns in and there he is, shooting my tank with an AR, chucking grenades at it ( did he not know... friendly fire is off???) so...pushed him into Charlie and packed up. Seen him in an LAV, for ***** and giggles, crashed into it. Kept this up till I dragged him to an enemy MLT Sica, pushed him into the tank, they thought he was a AV kid, lite him up while I dispatched the HAV. Looked at the score sheet, he was something like 0-7. Soon rage quit. No mail, no foul language, nutten.
Second story
Here I am...driving around, doing what us tankers do, smoke cigs, get beer out of our mini fridge up grade, blowing crap up, till random blue dot appears. Oh look, he is shooting the tank. Cool, I get a gunner. He hops on it and... oh neat, he is burning out the turrets shooting at the MCC. Not even the right one. Idiot, you're shooting ours. What ever, he is having fun, game is almost over, why not, let him have some fun.
Then a red LAV appears out of nowhere. Knowing that only 2 types of people rush an LAV into an HAV are A: suicidal B: AV guys. I decide not to risk it and light this thing up, and what do you know, a failed jump on me by a forge and..wait.. he is on my tank....
I cant hit him, the blue dot in my tank has burned out my turret and I already got a good shot from this forge on my tank. So....crap...I'm boned. All I can do is ram it and pushed this kid off my tank, then rammed him, following a one shot.
Moral of that second story
I need an eject button. Mainly for my friends for troll fun, but... to keep idiots out of it.

As an avid tanker, I would like to say this though. I don't care any more about these threads about OP tank or UP tank or anything else outside of AR elitism.
Personally, if tanks were junk, and just some rolling plastic can ( which shield tanks kinda are but) but I at least have mobility to make up for it. If these things where total junk, why is it I can at least get a couple kills, get in the top 5, get my WP and call it successful. What I might lose in tank tankiness, it makes up for by being incredibly mobile. Crap, it is like a scout suit on wheels. I can hit and run, I can do a quick funneling of enemies and book out before they have time to respawn with proper AV fits. By that time, my team is on them like white on rice.
Yes I am sick of this nerf and buff wheel but it is us as intelligent players to learn how to make due with these short comings. Though if this crap gets out of hand, it will turn into people just using what is hot for that week. Which in all honesty kinda removes the flavor this game has.
I also admit this is totally off topic |
