Lmao full of **** or a bunch of scrubs that have no idea what av is

I know what you mean, I have brought out a few militia tanks, and only in seconds a forge gunner will shoot it down instantly, and AV nades do have a toll on it, but you have to realize this, 1. it could be just a bad day to use tanks 2. the skill of the driver plays a MASSIVE roll, skills such as knowing when to get out of there and when to move in is essential to tank drivers. You always want an escape route planned, and prioritize your targets, now I know that some pro tanker is going to criticize that but it seems that way to me. Back on topic, my advice is you try sniping, or move in with your allys, clear out some redberries then fall back and recover.

I would also like to state that, the problem with the tanks now is this, since a lot of people have migrated to tanks, us mercs have only 1 option, adapt or die, so obviously we have to choose between anti infantry grenades and AV nades, since A LOT of players have realized that tanks are now more common to find, infantry based players choose AV weapons, now correct me if i'm wrong, im just being observant of this. Now if you want to tank and live I suggest you form a sqaud, that is now very vital to tankers, for example if you know theres a forge gunner, and a sniper is your in squad, send him after that gunner! Or if you have a heavy and those pesky scouts are circling you and throwing some nades, make him GUN THEM DOWN. Simple things like that will increase your survivability. Hope this helps !

FTFY

Everyone and thier mommas got AV these days, when we got our respec & saw lavs & tanks everywhere we didnt want to be helpless against vehicles, so we specced into grenades( very appealing) and/or AV weapons,mostly FGs cus we know FGs have always been badass.
Anyways I ran sagaris's last build and w/ the initial super nerf they had, to turret angles and sh*t controls. i said f*** that. I had trouble as a beast tanker last build trying to survive AV, so i could only imagine how it is now with an average proto AV player per match. Its not that AV is OP, but that theres so much AV, and when AV stacks it means death.
Too many tankers & too many LAVs spelled doom for themselves. If you spam something we'll counter it, even vehicles.

Fixed that for you. Usually used when editing a quote from someone else.

You know what would be really awesome? If people didn't constantly disappear 10 feet in front of me when I go into the first person turret cam.

Yes. But that wont be fixed till 1.4 right?

On the plus side, at least we can shoot the driver out and joy ride their car until its a smoldering pile of wreckage.

the proto turret pretty much cost the 1mil, in the end we pay more for turrets than tanks

i have gone 36 and 1 but not on my tanks, but running infantry with a suit the cost less then 35k ISK. why should i pay 600k just to go 20/1 in a match when i could just run infantry and do the same very thing for 1/20th of the price. its not skill that is the problem its cost and HAVs and DS are generally are not worth their cost.
