One semi-dedicated AV holds down 3-4 tanks.

People really think tanks are OP?

Cool story bro. Call me back when you're soloing 3-4 REAL tankers in Ambush with just Advanced Swarms. That is, if you don't die to Infantry before you get a second volley off.

I honestly hate to say this, but all AV players should start taking notes from the OP

AVing is not about chasing vehicles and sacrificing your body endlessly. Its about containing vehicles and limiting their movement. OP demonstrated a very effective use of his role, and just by his description alone , I would have no problem putting him on a A-Team for the AV role.


Good to see some people actually know a thing or two on these forums

This ladies and gentlemen, is what I always try to get across to people in "Tanks are OP" threads.

One halfassed AV fit by Cat merc holds down FOUR tanks. Sure he only killed one, but he stopped the others from doing anything and has hardly any SP invested in AV.

To the forums, spec into AV and quit crying.

The AV-Tank relationship is skewed heavily in favor of the AV.

Weaponry maxed out is something most infantry have just to be infantry. Proto assault also has nothing to do with you AV level or capability.

The only thing you have specifically into "AV" is Swarm Launcher Op, which is only a couple hundred thousand.

I'm not knocking you or your suits, just trying to get the point across that you have minimal investment into "AV"

when im in a tank im telling my squad to go kill you, 75%of the time they are to scared to hop out and that a blue berry will hop in and ignore that I told them get out and deal with the logi with swarm launcher and cost me my tank. I dislike 75% of the people I squad with... they need to learn how to blitz and assault logis with swarm launchers. HAVs can easily be countered by AV in a manner of 1 for 1, more so with newberries supporting the HAVs. tanks are only as powerfully as the troops supporting them.

CBR7 is the basic one I think?

This is so true, no matter what the Swarms are, getting hit by them is enough to make you turn back for Infantry support.

Its also pretty damn scary when I turn a corner and there are already a few Swarm volleys heading for me, tells me its going to be an annoying game.

I do admit, MLT Swarms are nothing more than an annoyance unless they have help from dedicated AV players.

So, would you concede that you don't have very much SP invested in Anti-Vehicle specifically?

Welp, congratulations on giving the finger to those four tanks and educating people on AV. One day people will stop whining, and one day tanks will be buffed.

Also, tanks should be banned from ambush. ***** silly.

Just throwing that out there.

AV>V=FACT

Because NOOBs whined and never played this game in the more competitive corp battle arenas let alone what PC will likely bring.

And god forbid you can't solo a tank or even a 2-3 ppl struggle to take a tank one which is total BS.

The only reason 2-3 ppl struggle to take on a tank is because of bluedots. Bluedots in their infinite stupiditiy and selfishness who have no clue that all they need to do is keep the infantry off of their AV teammates and the AV guys will easily handle those tanks. Instead they mindlessly run around like idiots trying to play the game like COD.

Thats why AV is so powerful because a bunch of crybaby sucktards whines to CCP that they were getting rolled on by tanks in pubs when in reality they lacked basic coordination to take those tankers on.


This problem is only further compounded because of the utter asinine way CCP sets the default voice comms settings so its impossible to get an entire team on comms to coordinate the anti tank effort.

This is why this game sucks, at its heart its a tactical team based game but many of the mechanics have been balanced around a small 1-3 person team instead of a larger 4-6 person effeort(thats still 1/4-1/3 of the team and not a lot of personel but exactly the amount of effort it should take to properly take on a tank) Something that is difficult to acheive in pubs but very easy to do in organized battles with ppl who have a clue. So what happens instead you have something that easy to accomplish in pubs and down right overpowering in organized matches.

Like i said

AV>V=FACT.
