Only if they are improperly fitted. Being a AV Minny, I never expect to destroy a tank on my own just push them back (especially if they are in the red zone sitting on a hill). other than that it is a pleasant surprise to actually solo a tank. I also do not expect to take down a shield tank being a swarm user so i depend on my FG mate. With that said i do support some of what the op has to say about tanks but no all of it , I do believe that the range on the FG and swarms as well as the blasters and the other turrets are fine (i have ridden in tanks and yes there are some odd angles that the turrets cant reach). i don't know much about the resistance mods and i don't use av nades so i don't know how well they work so i can not comment on that. When i engage a tank most of the drivers tend to bug out as soon as they are hit and I also do the same as soon as i see the turret turn to my direction( I rather run and live than be a idiot and die). Other than that the biggest problem i have is with the all the LAV's that have shields over 3k, in my opinion that should not be especially if my memory serves me correctly there is a LAV with a natural 35% armor resistance (i cold be completely wrong but I'm not sure) i also never expect to one shot a LAV but to deter them from approaching. As far as I consider the swarm launcher is used to push back tanks and LAV's. |

who says tankers don't use teams just because they don't roll with other tanks does not mean that they don't have any one inside, I've also seen tanks roll with other tanks watching each others back. There were plenty of times when i went to assault a tank from behind and get gunned down from the top turret.

If you want to keep your homing swarms and av nades of death that are incredibly easy to use, at least balance it around its ease of use. What is so important to me is the balance of input from both sides, so neither side has it easy or difficult when even tiers are present.
I have to disagree with you on some of that , yes when you have a a team of swarms working on a single tank it should go down but that's not always the case. Like i said before i DO NOT expect my solo swarm to take down a tank on it 's own, push it back behind cover so my team can move in with out being gunned down in the 10-15 seconds before the tank comes back YES.
I will admit there have been times where I've gotten tunnel vision and have gone after a tank and its about 1 or of 4 that i end up soloing, other than that it's either I get gunned down, or the tank retreats behind cover where I cannot get it or hides in the red zone.
I cannot comment on the AV nades because i do not use them. I really think that the only reason why it seems that the AV are having a easy time is because a lot of people are carrying AV nades and when you have and bunch of nades thrown at you it does not matter what you do some one will get you ( its the same with the flaylocks and the fused contact nades but thats a different topic). |

One proto AV won't kill me, he dies instantly to my railgun.
Two proto AV force me to retreat at least, if I **** up I die.
Three proto AV: Okay, fk, fk, fk
Four proto:gg
Why isn't this fine? Perhaps you're lucky and the AV people you come across are not as skilled. Otherwise, Madrugars get destroyed by 3-4 proto SL volleys and Gunnlogis get destroyed by 4 proto assault FG shots. So, therefore, one single proto AV can solo our current tanks without needing to reload. Nanohive and AV grenade spam is just bull****.
That's why you retreat...... being proto AV i do not expect to solo a tank just push them back. a majority of tanks that i have came across have retreated as soon as they are hit with the first volley of swarms, i do not use av nade simply because there a delay between firing. |
