and still no one answered to this: not only AV is strong against tanks, other tanks are too. rails two shots tanks accross the map, no chance to react actually, I would be more concerned about rails than AV weaponry.

rails also one shot lavs and dropships accross the map too and the splash damage or rails can take away alot of health from a dropsuit. if you practise for a few matches and get the hang of the flight time then it is actually very easy to hit infantry at long ranges. as long this possible there is no excuse about the current status of AV weaponry.

Tankers are funny. You wont hear anything about tanks from them as they go 30+/0 for 6+ matches in a row. But when they blow up they throw a b!tch fit calling everything OP and start hating on their own tanks.

Sadly bad tankers make people spec into AV if I see someone driving around badly in a HAV I feel compelled to put it down so I created a AV suit (adv swarms only.) People who badly fit tanks or just sit in the open expeciting to survive without moving encourages people to go after HAV's and getting 150+ points makes me go after good HAV's as well.

For example the other day I played a game on manus peak a guy called in a AUR tank and sat in the open trying to blaster everyone I changed to my swarms and blew it in 3 shots I was very surprised usually it takes more. Sure enough he is soon back in the same spot doing the same thing so I killed him again. I was near C by the way so I decided to go hack it I arrived at C to find the tanker sat in the open so I killed him and a few seconds later his tank arrived so I hacked it and got in. Now I figured out why he was so bad in his tank it had low shields and armour and his mods were militia tracking enhancers, heat sinks and a LIGHT armour rep.

So while driving his HAV around waiting for someone to pop it I spot and enemy HAV aproaching and what do you know same guy but this time he is using a RG, so I close the distance and take out all of his shields and most of his armour and my stolen HAV pops but before it did I jumped out and swarm'd him finishing him off. So for this guy 1 battle = 4 HAV's deployed 4 destroyed and 1 of those he destroyed himself.

Its people who do things like this that inspired me to spec AV and the genuine easyness of pop up lock fire and scuttle makes it a no brainer, which is why I think high damage low HP tanks should be an option but not the ONLY option it just means allot more redline RG snipers who will complain when they get one shotted by some dude with a FG and good aim. And lost of new players trying out HAV's and complaining that they last all of 30seconds in a firefight.

IMO tanks should have glass cannon and high hp lower damage variations because they are each others counter and both have drawbacks which would hopefully eliminate the HAV's are OP threads and the influx of newberrys making bad tanks then complaining AV is OP.

TL:DR Just Medic waffling.

Doubt theres that many. Don't know any tankers who make a profit running only tanks, the ones that do play infantry aswell (which won't be viable unless you're running a **** free suit next build).

With you on that, gonna be sitting on the redline sniping nearly all the time come next build, people can get ****** if they think I want to waste 2mil just to help them win their matches, being helpful isn't going to pay the damn bills, yo.
