To adapt one must look to other tactics to survive if your current tactics are getting you killed. Try working with infantry instead of just wanting to slaughter them. That's what tanks are designed for, they are the ultimate pushers You talk like infantry matters.. dude with swarms just has to lock on and fire... the fact that there is infantry between the tank and the AVers is irrelevant.
Yes, it's not like those Infantry units are keeping you alive from enemy AV. Oh wait, I forgot you just want to solo with your tank. |

Pretty much any infantry I have ever squaded up with couldn't give a rats ass about protecting my tank. I have seen blues run away from people with swarm launchers. I have observed as a squad of infantry allows someone to run through them throwing AV grenades. I have been almost directly in front of friendly snipers who absolutely refuse to shoot at the guys launching swarms or the FG up high. I have seen all of these and more, so often, that I have learned that infantry doesn't care at all about a blue tank. The only time they give a crap is when they need you to drop an enemy tank, but as soon as it goes down, you are immediately forgotten about.
Then get a good squad. I'm always repping tanks, even though I get nothing out of it because I know that tank is helping us win, I'm sure plenty of good squad make a priority to protect a well-fit tank from enemy AV. |

I don't even have a tank (200k SP or so total in vehicles), I'm speaking from AV perspective.
Again those Infantry units are keeping you alive, no good AV user with swarms is going to see an Infantry squad and chose to ignore it and solo instead of following behind that squad, because he knows he's nerfed against enemy Infantry. |

So, if you choose to spec into tanks, you better always have a squad with you. Yeah, that seems reasonable. Thanks for adding a light repper while I am engaged with a squad of AV, because when they can dump out several thousand HP per second, your 100 hp is really going to help. But really, if a tank needs a squad with it, why even have the tank at all? Just bring out an assault suit and be better off.
Yes, the tank is meant to help you win not win on its own. Just your mere presence is forcing the enemy to AV, nerfing their team against your Infantry units. Roll in the tank as a vanguard for your squad, slaughter infantry and lure in the AV users, pull back and let the Logi rep you while providing cover fire if you can for the Infantry that's slaghtering AV squad that can't defend against them. |
