It is not OP, it is not even unfair to tankers.
An RPG-7 costs a heck of a lot less than a MBT, but can destroy it quite easily.
It is not terribly difficult to be an efficient tanker, especially in pubs.
In PC battles it gets difficult if you let the enemy take the high ground, but a single good sniper can prevent that, so it is in fact quite even. If your team has no snipers, then you are forced to be defensive, no big surprise there.
Ultimately, if you can't deal with proto AV, you are not a real tanker, just someone who wants to get big stats with little risk. your ********... Real world tanks are not as easy to destroy, first of all they shoot 1 hit 1 klll 50 cal bullets from the 2 top gunner seats, they have thermal cameras, they can hit a plastic plate from two miles away while going at 50 mph. Also one missile destroys everything within 10 meter blast radius. Also if you dont hit the sweet spot on the tank you wont do ****, the tanks are camouflaged for their environments and are quite hard to see from a distance, Also tankers are trained not to go into rural areas or areas where enemy has cover.
Real tanks can be very easy to destroy if they don't have any support
I run proto-AV sometimes, but to be honest, it gets way too expensive. I see a tank drop in, I run to get my Ishukune out, and if the tank is already destroyed or on the other side of the map, I've just wasted a ton of ISK (admittedly much less than a tank costs). Even with the proto-AV, it takes a few shots to kill many tanks. Often they can get out of the way and start repping themselves.
Don't let the FG gunners get behind you. Shots to the back of your tank do WAY more damage than to the front. Also, don't run a railgun tank into the middle of a city - even with the heavy it isn't hard to straffe out of way of your shots. Also, get some ground support :) |

I'd hardly say that untrained civs running around in gowns and flip-flops carrying 60 year old rifles can stand up against US main battle tanks with ground and air support. I'm talking modern militaries here - not exactly on par with US tech, but somewhat close. Give them an anti-tank rifle, or a javalin, and it'll be a different story. |

Anti tank rifle? The Lahti and Solothurn were made immediately useless when tank armor got thicker.[/quote]
True dat, but it'd still be better than an AK.
