Since we are on the topic of tanks, my Madrugar could have survived that, and it has poor modules currently. I think it is more than likely you had aid from an unseen team-mate somewhere throwing his own AV into the mix. ur madruger could not have survived tht. wats tht like 2-3k per nade and about 3k damage per swarm. 3k damage per swarm! Damn I want whatever swarm launcher your using.
For the cheapest way to get a 3k swarm launcher do the following steps.
Get a Proto swarm
Get an A Series
Stick triple damage mods on the A Series (all 10x damage mods, that gives you 10%, 8.7% and 5.7% due to stacking penalties iirc)
Find tank.
Place Nanohive
Fire.
Good work OP, can you explain to us what the tanker was doing at the time? Where were you? Was he stuck? was he far too cocky and stayed out in the open hoping to tank you? It is easy for the rest of us to say "Haha what a noob thinking he could sit out in the open and not die" but we're jumping to conclusions.
I've been solo'd plenty of times in my tank, it wasn't that I planned to be out in the open, more than I tried to escape but was very far from the redline (We'd been holding the enemy redline then suddenly all the points flipped and now I'm being chased by protoswarms hitting me from behind, ofcourse I can't make it back to the redline because this guy is behind cover blocking the only retreat I have, If I try the other way I end up in a swarm of red infantry with AV nades) lose lose situation. |

I have proto swarms and 3 complex dmg mods and get about 2600 dmg per swarm. Unless I hit vehicle crit spots. Also whether it's shield or armor.
If it's armor, you'll hit over 3000 regardless of if you get the sweet spot or not, that extra damage is ridiculous |

doesnt the tank get more damage at weakspots (from behind and under the tank)? if you run away and get hit from behind by swarms (especially if you are an armor tanker) then you should get ready for alot of damage.[/quote]
Yes it gets damaged more from behind, but as a shield tanker I negate the damage a lot more than the armor tank when it comes to long range swarms, the point I was trying to make was that a lot of tankers don't plan to be "out in the open" as many would believe, it's more we're pushing with our Infantry and then suddenly, theres nobody (I blame snipers) and I'm getting smashed as I try to race across the map to the redline, and on the open plains where it's easy to push, there is no cover from Forges and Swarms. |

That is the big point though, the tank driver allowed this. Any driver worth his salt would have been absolutely hauling out of there as soon as the first nade or swarm hits. To be able to hit with 6 swarms and 3 AV nades you'd need at least 15 - 20 seconds and to be really close. Anyone who stays within range of you for that long when you're clearing AVing them, is just not a good tanker, no matter how anyone might try to dress it up.
As I said in an earlier post, it's really all about the situation the tank was in. Again, I've lost most of my Sagaris tanks to a solo AV player, Even one firing swarms and I don't think I'm a bad tanker, I try to keep my distance and yet I found myself unable to get away. |
