Clearly never played in a PC battle.
Tanks cannot push anything when everyone can have proto AV nades. Roll up to within 50 metres, 4 guys throw Lai Dais, tank is dead.
As it stands right now, tanks need to stay way the hell away from infantry in PC, because getting into nade range is pretty much an instakill. |

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.
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.
You don't seem to understand. A player with proto packed AV grenades gives up virtually now effectiveness versus infantry, but becomes absolutely lethal to any tank within throwing range.
People don't need swarms, or even forge guns. Two or three guys in a Logi Lav can roll up to any tank and pop it in less than 3 seconds. Given the current bug where you can shoot LAV drivers out very easily will get fixed, and then you are trying to stop a vehicle that WILL get through and drop off their AR armed infantry to pop the tank and then have a fight with your infantry squad, assuming they haven't run them over.
In the current iteration of the game, in PC, a tank cannot go anywhere near infantry. Blaster tank, missile tank, doesn't matter. If you are close enough to be supporting your infantry, you are within AV nade range, and in a competitive match, you will get blown up very fast.
Your suggestions are not even remotely applicable to how vehicles are in the game right now. They sound great, but with the current balance between AV and vehicles right now, they are simply not possible. |

The resident hype man apologist that is IWS cannot stop. That is why he was chosen for the CPM. Because CCP can't produce content worthy of being excited about, so they get the fan boys to beat the drum and act as the first line of defense against criticism. |

CCP replaced staff making promises with IWS making even more cryptic promises.
Welcome to the other side folks. IWS is now officially a puppet. |
