Recently i acquired the ability to seriously hurt tanks buy skilling in to the proto swarm launcher and have finally been able to start making tanks explode on a regular basis .

I tried all the levels of swarm launcher from milita to proto and i can tell u that until u reach proto your efforts are mostly wasted unless the tank is failfit or just dumb.

Now it is possible for me to solo most tanks if i have a firing solution for long enough with the proto swarms .

Tankers will tell u that one AV should not be able to kill a similar level tank alone but i am calling bullshit on this why should i not be able to take out a tank if i am skilled and fitted in to it ?

Lets look at some of the arguments:

The tank takes millions more skill points than the AV = false Yes while the single weapon takes less than the whole tank this is not the complete picture after all my swarm launcher is not going to fire its self. I need maximum core and fitting skills to ensure i can fit the best weapon for the job i need suit skills to give me the hit points to make it to that perfect firing angle as well as proto sidearm so give me a better chance of getting threw any infantry standing in my way .

I have 17 million skill points and all of those except the few million in other light weapons can be directly of use fighting tanks .

Next argument

Tanks cost millions of isk each they should be able to survive multiple battles and mow down infantry = false Tanks cost a lot of isk true but the benefits from being surrounded buy a metal boxes are large . For a start only a small percentage of infantry can hurt u from range. It might seem to u like every other guy is rocking av but take it from a infantryman there are still a lot more AR's out there than forge guns and swarms and of those guys even less have bothered to train for proto av .
Tanks murder regular infantry and are invulnerable to non specialized weapons with the ability to generate staggering amounts of war points and a GTFO ability that most grunts can only dream of .

Now these tanks are not just evaporating at the mere sight of my proto swarm with 2x complex damage mods some are even able to fully tank my damage for a limited time and any good tank will take at least 5-8 volleys .

So how much more damage should a tank be able to take ? if i am using proto with 2x complex how much more would it take a militia guy ? 10 volleys 15 ? 20 ! Yeh yeh i hear u say " but that's militia gear against advanced tank " Ok so it should take 4-5 mags of directs hits from a militia AR to down a protobear ??? after all his gear might be 10 times more expensive than the militia guy ( just like a top tank might be 10 times more expensive than my proto AV fit ).In dust u pay a lot to go up in levels for little gain for example a gek costs 7 or 8 times more than a standard for only 5% more damage .Tanks just follow this trend

Arguments like this about the level of gear belong in games like WOW yes being higher level should give u a advantage but it should not make u invulnerable to lower levels ( It never did in eve ).
