I already have Soma's and did Work with them.
Ok now I REALLY have to go to sleep... Why do I keep looking at these forums? @_@

Want me to dumb it down for you Fred Flinstone? You can dumb it down all you want... once you actually drive a tank. I finally made myself a Soma build. Managed to do pretty well. Out of all my games by best game was 14 and 1. Second best was 8 and 1. I managed to keep my HAV alive for 3 games, 2 of them were merc battles. Every single of my HAV deaths was due to proto HAV. Except for four. One was 3 std. AV grenades because I decided to push up without a squad or my shields. 1 was due to a Madrugar, I made him pay for it with my Swarm Launcher. I was installation related. Another was against an entire squad plus a Sica, who ran away after he lost shields. To be honest, tanking is nit as hard as you guys make it seem. And this was just day 1 Lol
Try day 350. Tell me how easy tanking is when you see an entire squad with swarms dedicated to destroying you.
There aren't many people that can think ahead, and quickly. Those would be best at tanking. When you have a general understanding of the spots, ranges and angles, deciding where to go and what to do becomes easier.
When all it takes to destroy you, in one of the most pathetic ways possible, is for 3 reds to drive behind you in a BPO LAV and throw 9 AV grenades behind you, what is left but rail sniping behind the red line?
It's different when you spend less than 6 figures on a militia tank. Try it with a fully fit Madrugar and see just how easy (lol) it is to make a profit. |

LOL Of course it matters.
Sometimes you go against a crap team. Sometimes you go against a team that doesn't field any less than ADV gear, more often PRO, including AV weapons. Your Soma would basically be destroyed in one shot from PRO swarms.

DeadlyAztec11 wrote:EDIT*: I do tank now, read post #66 page 4 HAV drivers need to learn to make tactics to counter the tactics AV players, such as myself, use. Complaining that they need more Armor and Shields will do nothing but make their suffering last longer on the battlefield, as any reasonable amount of health increase will be useless without effective tactics. So who better to teach them how to survive AV than a dedicated AV player. I decided to put this in General discussion rather than rookie training grounds, because I feel that many of the experienced people who hang around general discussions would benefit from reading this. I also feel that many people calling for a nerf to AV are not properly using tactics to counter our tactics. Let's begin. Some general tips:
- Forge gunners should always be your primary target
- Secondary targets are Swarm players
- If a player runs at you it means they either have AV grenades or Remote explosives. Be weary of these suicide bombers
- Destroy turrets even if they are not in enemy control. Don't take the risk
- Destroy Supply depots to keep enemy infantry from switching to and replenishing their AV
- When calling in an HAV do it as far away from the action as possible and if possible behind a building or behind a hill
- When shooting around corners try to back up around it, instead of using your front. This way you can shoot without exposing your entire tank, also quick escape
- Take out dropships before they can get on top of buildings. If they can do that, they can put a forge gunner up there. It will be almost impossible to dislodge them, as many tank turrets can not aim up there.
- Be on the look out for Remote explosive markers on the ground and the annoying sound that vehicle mines make. Too many HAV's die to this.
- Use of cover is FUNDAMENTAL!
List of things that need to be fixed:
- Invisible swarms
- Forge gun damage at range
- Vehicle and turret price
Experienced ground personnel know to use the terrain as cover. Many HAV drivers need to learn this lesson. I say this because I see many HAV's get shot at by Swarms and just take it. They get destroyed because they fail to learn the basic fundamentals of urban fighting, one of the first things to grasp is, how to use your surroundings as improvised defensive positions. Cover. The basic concept is that you use your surrounding environment to keep safe from attacks. Now the tactics: A basic maneuver is to move parallel to a building' corner, peek around and make observations. One should not keep in the same position for too long and if spotted one should move as quickly as possible to avoid from having the enemy flank you from the sides or behind. It is also important to note that the more people that are killed by you, the more become aware of your position. Though, this is a maneuver used mostly for long range attacks. For CQC offensive maneuvers, I recommend the use of the 'drive by'. It is a slightly higher tier tactic, as it requires turret handlers that can effectively track and engage targets from a moving platform. As such, it is a tactic that can really only be mastered by a dedicated tank crew. Though, I digress, it is very effective when executed flawlessly. It is best used to harass and deny the enemy use of gates, entrances and narrow passages such as bridges.. By making strafing runs parallel to the entrance, you can quickly unload a large amount of suppressing fire into the entrance, while not allowing forge gunners or Swarm players enough time to charge or track your HAV. HAV's that make use of this maneuver should be fast, though slow HAV's can make use of this tactic, they should have high shields/armor. High fire rate turrets also compliment your build by giving the ability to tag more targets. After making a strafing run, you should make a U turn and double back at a longer range, as by then any forge gunners will have charged their guns and any players with AV grenades will be hiding behind any cover near the entrance, waiting for you to come past again. When assaulting through a city or entrance, always stick behind your infantry. Never go in front. They keep people from being able to run up and throw AV grenades at you, as well as keep forge gunners and swarm players distracted. If you do not see a good 5+ assault team pushing ahead into a city, do not go at it alone. You will be surrounded by people with AV grenades and will die faster then you can get out of the vehicle. Just don't do it. I will add more tactics to this as I ponder effective counters to the tactics I use against HAV's... Notes*: I see the need to nerf things like the damage at range of Forge guns, as well as reduce the price of Tank turrets. As well as several other small buffs, that when added up will be a big bonus. The issue I have is that people think that HAV's need to be almost indestructible and that they feel that you should be able to go into the middle of the map and have it easy. Things need to be improved, but many of the more vocal tankers are being way to unreasonable.
Well, Tankers don't have proto modules or Tanks but the PG skill would help because the PG of tanks was hurt by this.
Also the rear of your tank is weaker and so is the bottom
A few questions.
Do tanks need more health; not raw health they need some more PG but force skilling into the PG skill.
Do tankers need to follow these tactics, yes
What is your advice on tower FG's/SL's?
How would you fix the PLC for AV?
Also when exiting Cities the same thing should happen with 1 person checking for an ambush, still most infantrymen won't think, but that doesn't give you an excuse to do the same\

when dealing with the forge ***** hiding on the tallest building on the map because hes a coward, do the following steps to make sure you survive the encounter.
1- move your tank to the nearest location he cannot reach. 2- make sure your completely alone. 3- recall your vehicle and wait until it disappears. 4- exit the game because the forge gunner ruined it for you and go to another game. |

I think I've adapted well, listen up scrublets.
They key to being a Vehicle Specialist (Yes, Vehicle Specialist, not a tanker, nor a dropship pilot, nor Colin McRae, use all the vehicle to be the very best, like no one ever was.) is to be very flexible, here I will share with you a quote from a close friend of mine;
Bruce Lee wrote: Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend
Be patient and most of all, be a massive scrub.
Use your epic car skills to mush the Infantry, they cannot stand up to it unless they bring out proper AV, their grenades (WHICH AREN'T AV, GET SMASHED) can't catch you, ride fast and they will die.
If they cannot kill you, they will eventually bring out a tank or will coordinate AV, the next step is simple.
Dropships allow you high positions on buildings and mountains, it also allows you the safety of the skies. If AV is too strong and you don't wish to die, just fly, way up high. If they bring out a tank, land somewhere on its flank.
Call out your Railgun tank, recall the dropship, rain blue fire on the Tank and then get a LLAV out.
Might I add, it is always useful to have skills in AV as well, a true Vehicle Specialist is someone who can use both Vehicles and Anti Vehicle weapons. This is how to truly adapt, not some scrubs idea of tactics, Infantry do not play by tactics, there are none as they do not fear dying, we do, our tactic is to run and be a scrub.

Wow, another thread started by someone who doesn't operate vehicles trying to give advice and make suggestions. But all I hear is nerf this nerf that, buff this buff that. Props to the real tankers who've posted in this thread.
Mister thread starter, your "tips" could be found in the complete idiots guide to tanking. even then i wouldn't follow them to the T.
My primary target is other tanks, not a forge gunner.
Use cover? What a wonderful idea.
If a player runs at me with AV nades, they're stupid. A talented AV operative will stay in cover until I ride right by them, and pop out and unload their stash. If you can't pop a merc running at you, then you've got bigger issues than your incompetent "guide".
Destroy turrets? That's up there with using cover...you'll find these blatantly obvious tips on the back cover of your complete idiots guide to tanking.
Destroy supply depots if they are in enemy occupied territory. If your blues are rockin a specific objective, leave the supply depot alone so they can switch to AV and take that enemy tank out before he blows you to hell, cuz he'll be gunning for you.
I'll call in an HAV wherever i feel like it...you aren't my boss, or my mama.
Here's a suggestion. Instead of backing around corners to prevent exposing yourself, drive in reverse all the time. It takes some getting used to, but you'll minimize your hit box when firing from cover if you drive in reverse. additionally, your headlights won't be shining on the ground in front of you, potentially warning the enemy that you are approaching....but i'm sure you already knew all this.
Taking out dropships is a good tip. But even if they drop their forge gun baddies on a tower, if you are in the forge gunner's range, he's in range of your rail turret. Blast away.
Be on the look out for remote explosives? I run them over on purpose cuz i'm a badass.
Invisible swarms suck, this is true. They were supposed to fix this with rendering at distance with 1.3.
Forge gun damage at range has been nerfed along with every other weapon in the game when they reach their absolute range.
Vehicle price is fine. Turrets are expensive...reduce turret price.
Worst guide ever. |

You need to go for a walk around the neighborhood and relax. Now I am not sure if you have mama issues, since you compare me to her, but I do not feel that personal stuff like that should come up online. If you want to run over Remote Explosives and call your HAV into the middle of the battlefiedl... It's fine.
These are tips not commands. Don't get so worked up bro, stress can lead to a lot of complications later in life. |

You would get two shot'ed by any body with fully spec'd AV. 3 complex mods plus base 15%. Just about 45%.

A 100k-200k Dropsuit should never under any circumstances be able to solo a 1.8-2.5 million ISK tank. Period. End of story.
This is where the imbalance lies. I agree with a lot of what you said but there is an imbalance and this is it. A group of dedicated AV should probably always beat one tank, even with a tank crew. If you come at me with a forge gun and swarms and chuck nades too and I die well good fight you deserve to win. And yes my tactics should be better such that I don't end up in a situation like that. But even putting aside invisible swarms and forge snipers a Dropsuit should never be able to solo a tank and right now they can. Until this is fixed things will remain unbalanced, tactics or no tactics. |
