Your first mistake was building a militia missile tank.

Your second one was calling in a missile tank and thinking it has any battlefield value.

Your third was thinking that a missile tank could stand up to a rail tank head-on.

Fourth was coming here to tell us about it.

1: Why?
2: I can one shot quite a few suits and just point at the feet of others to kill them, which seems to be the primary role of the tank. and my accelerated missiles are quite effective from range so I can hide back with my team instead of having to rush in like a blaster tank.
3: head on? I was running for cover before he started firing(killed a couple guys, saw somebody get a swarm kill, then decided to find some cover and recall my tank)
4: have to get it to CCP somehow that tanks are made of nitroglycerin and tissue paper, and they claim to read these forums. ergo, I post here.

and to predatorpants, how would a blaster tank(galente) have helped? I was outranged with missiles which have better range than blasters. wouldn't have helped with the rail shots as they're hybrid damage type.

1. Missile tanks suck, pure and simple. Small splash, low damage, and weak AV capability.
2. I will give you the fact that they are effective againt infantry, but not as much as blaster tanks are atm. Closed beta missiles were the high point for missile fits.
3. Fair enough. I didn't see any context of the fight.
4. The standard tanks have the ability to fit a lot more EHP than militia. It's pretty tough tissue. Plus, we still don't have our marauders back, so we tankers are missing our proto suits.

Just lost a tank to a Railtank in 2 shots, from outside my range(missile tank) and before I could get away, at full speed. thought these things were made of something tougher than tissue paper. They move like they're made of metal, but I guess its just metallic paint on tissue paper. before someone comes and yells at me, yes it was militia, and yes it was the best I could possibly fit. also, thanks for **ing breaking Railgun installations. now they just don't even hurt other people's tanks. the bullet just flies right the ** on through. I don't even know how you did that. they were working just fine before, and you broke them now.

You were probably facing a Sagaris with a proto turret fitted. no, it was militia. nice thing about MLT tanks. you can fit either some health(not much) or a shield rep(using caldari tanks personally) not both.

Plus, we still don't have our marauders back, so we tankers are missing our proto suits. 1: still better than the last build, those things were so slow you could walk over and wallop somebody with a stick before they got there. but I see your point, they're the middle child of tank armaments, and suffer for it. 2: Never saw a missile tank in closed beta, but back then every tank could just roll on the field and autowin. 4: just need to get to 50,000 SP(already have Cal LAV3) to get standard Cal tanks and to get another 150,000 to unlock the ability to buy shield extenders I'm almost scared to see what happens with enforcer tanks, dat range and power boost. but also, dat squishy health, but by then I should have maxed my passives and be able to fit a fairly impressive passive/active tank on it so that I might be able to run.

MLT = OHK with anyone that knows their AV. get a better tank then QQ with the rest how its also made of paper cause it lasted 4 shots... and be happy it at least dropped... notice good tankers aren't complaining? cant just drop something in anywhere tip for the day dropped in behind a mountain. got to the portion of the map where I could see a decent portion of the field while being within what I thought was running distance of cover. I was wrong. I would like to even have a chance to rectify this mistake before being dead. suits get that grace(I outran the entire enemy team I spawned in in an ambush match while under fire). why don't tanks?
