Do you know how hard it would be to hit a smart tank pilot with 10 AV grenades?

As a AV expert you should have an idea right?

Even more so if that tank has a squad of boots with him.

Actually, its not hard to hit the very BEST tanker in the game. For example, in PC vs SI i put on my dampened proto scout with speed mods and ran behind a tank faaaar away from anyone on my team and threw 4 proto AV nades at him. Took off all his sheilds and he ran into a rock and blew him self up trying to get away from me. Dident matter cuz i was on a hive throwing unlimited proto av nades no matter were he went i was going to kill him. I dont think that 10 av nades should be the magic number but 3 to 5 is alittle cheap to take down proto tanks

The boots on the ground (and the driver) didn't do a good job of watching his flank and something bad happened (as it should).

That scenario could have played out numerous ways though, and that was a PC match. Pubs never have the level of coms squads do on PC. Plus 4 proto grenades SHOULD take off his shields, what kind of tank was it?

It looks to me like you played it smart and flanked a whole squad plus the tank; it might not work every single time though.

If you were sitting on a hive spamming nades someone should be dealing with you, even more so before you got to that point.

If not congrats. Big smile

"tank! tanks incoming" "its ok bro, I got this *clears the 2 tanks in a matter of moments" "whoa that was easy..." "yup" "I was expecting to call in air support or use an anti tank turret you know...make this a Michael bay film in the process while jet fighters or assault drop ships role in to destroy the would be bane of tanks and other heavy vehicles..." "what are you nuts? Large AV turrets get shredded and smaller will be worse, and DSes use small turrets, which are weaker then my hand held infantry weaponry even though those our mounted on vehicles... its sucks so much that the splash damage turrets have better Direct damage, small rialguns are a joke"

Its exaxtly like real life... How easy is it for a tank to get blown up in RL rolling by itself through ohhhh lets say afghanistan? Id say pretty darn easy... Biggest problem i see with tanks in this game is how players try to abuse them and the roles they are supposed to play... Its supposed to be support guys not the front line Thats just my .02 iskies AV is support or tanks are support?

So in all fairness i would like to know who is able to solo a good tank and from there i want to see that person go against duna (who is not part of my corp or alliance) and see if u still think that AV is overpowered no offence but all your guys gear must be militia starter fits, 4 guys on 1 would commonly kill. Also to the proto/ADV tanks will dominate, last build we had ADV HP tanks that are claimed to be PRO so dream shattered their innless those were ADV (in that case thank goodness, won`t be as hard to balance). Also hopefully my proto LAAs will counter tanks but we will see.
