Ahhh sweet salty tears. I think I might hunt the OPs tank now.

As I've said before in any HAV vs AV topic:
I was under the impression that this game was supposed to reward players for specializing in a specific role. Tankers did exactly that and became the best pilots they could be. Their effective counter AV was left behind and neglected by AR purists, CoD casuals, or people too ignorant to realize that militia AV isn't supposed to kill a prototype tank. The word nerf got thrown around more than a NERF corporate TPS report from crybabies because they couldn't blow up an HAV with an assault rifle. Instead of CCP replying with a smile and a HTFU, tankers got nerfed. For what? They were the only players in this game playing it correctly. They specialized in their role and because it wasn't infantry shield tanking caldari assault with an AR, they got burned. Heavies suffered a similar fate at the beginning of every build. We need to face facts here, this isn't Dust 514 anymore, it's AR 514, the futuristic version of CoD, fluffed up with a sat sheet that doesn't matter because you still die to 3 bullets. They sure put the CoD in Codex on this build.

Will any of this change on May 6-14th? Only time will tell. But at the rate things are going and the direction this game is going. Variety will truly be dead if they stick to this path.

Better get to work on my rail skills, I remember you coming after me after I hit your dropships on Manus (I am sorry :( If CCP would nerf the damn rails, it'd be nice), you were very persistent with that AV.

Well in all fairness they got nerfed because ALL the matches turned into both teams spamming tanks.

I personally used to like it. Now its WAY too easy to destroy tanks.

I have never seen a QQ thread with relevant facts that were true.

I always wonder why a AR guy 50+ meters away starts shooting at my methana surely they cant be expecting to blow it up or snipe me out of the seat from there. But they try that is your average AV guy the ones who believe everything is AV I mean its the future right.

but also on a sad note, I can say my DS has more HP then a tank and I won`t need to show the modules and skills behind it to prove it (note I`m NOT SAYING DS NEED A NERF but saying tanks need a buff).

What? Should this entire game be about infantry? What's the point of even having vehicles then? You seen those badass trailers where it looks like freaking D-Day with clone soldiers, tanks, dropships, and LAV going through line harvest wrecking **** before a bunch of instillations rain down to clean up. I want that game.

I might have misunderstood you so I`ll ask before ape attacking the keyboard, did you say or go off the lines off the common reply that since its the future AV will be stronger and more capable?

God man I was actually agreeing with you that tanks are UP and i'm a AV unit.

No just a general disparaging comment on human nature allot of people seem to think they can kill any vehicle with anything because the game is set in the future and when they cant thats when the complaing begins and leads us down nerf alley.

Edit for when I dont make sense I have a bad chest infection and asthma so sleep deprivation + meds are leading to nonsensical waffle. Humblest apologies.

ITT: a closet nerf AV thread

I snunk up behind you, i out smarted you and your team by allowing me to get behind you, or anywhere near you. three av nades, three CB7's. Thats how much time you have to turn your turret around to kill me, i have 500-600HP. you have 5-10k, you have three guns that can shoot at the same time . two of which are able to turn 360 degrees with perfect sight. first CB7 boom 75% shield, 2second delay before i can sprint or change weapons, 5 second dely befoe i can fire agian, av nades boomboomboom now if youre a good tank driver, you would of activated that shield repper as soon as the cb7 landed, but 99% of you aren't, so lets play that scene like so. 30% shield left, second CB7 5% shield, 2 second delay, 5second delay. if you havent killed me yet. or got behind some rock you fcuking suck, theres no if ands or buts, you suck at tank driving. there are three sits in a tank, you driving, two other turrets if one or two of the others hasnt gotten out and killed me after the first shot of the CB7, while im carrying a fcuking swarm and a scram pistol. you deserve to lose that tank.

PS. When did IMP start recruiting whiners?

PSS. If youre riding solo why waste the CPU/PG for turrets youre not gunna use?

Throwing out my LAV driver opinion-
There's more to the AV game than just destroying HAVs. Just because a solution works with AV vs HAVs doesn't mean it works with AV vs LAVs and dropships.

why did tanks get nerfed to ****? this is a game spin off from a vehicle game.. you know.. eve online?..
with the best tank and good support it is nearly impossible to keep a tank for more than 2 games.. its non sense.

Added my all time favorite attack on us. Tanks should be running with full support. Yet AV needs none.
