lets say i go proto av and die 10 times in 10 games. my proto av setup is about 100k per suit so i loose 1mil isk but i make about 2mil at worst, yes i kill alot of vehicles but at a price. now lets take your proto fit tank who plays 10 games and dies once. he kills about 20-30 people per game and easly clears a few mil for the lot. who is better off here

yes your going to come across heavy av groups at times but your going to come across more poor av teams also. if it comes to heavy av groups then why are you in a tank. every fight is a choice and the choice is not "go tank no matter what".

here is a tip for you. drive your tank in a sniper setup. if you get swarmed, recall your tank and snipe the swarmer or better still carry a tank crew who can do the defence for you. or get on comms and tell everyone where the swarmer is. im sure there are snipers ready and waiting to take them out. im forever getting sniped at

for av grenade's if your too close its your own fault

I play matches where proto AV squads tear me apart in two seconds. You've got to know your map, and know the players. Never, NEVER play against D3M3N

Only a few probably do, but they've been driving since closed beta. You're delusional.

You solo a tank with those then more power to you. But if the pilot has good situational awareness and uses the terrain to his advantage, don't expect an easy kill. I'm just saying for as little SP people need to invest into the designated hard counter infantry shouldn't have anything to wine about. Especially now. Killing a tank in Uprising is like drowning a 3-legged cat. Not something you should be proud of. Not every map has good terrain. Especially the map with six towers on the sides (I don't know the map names, sorry); forge gunners always take stance up there and snipe down. I don't like covering just one area with the tank, but I normally do just because of the safety restrictions - otherwise I get blown up more often because my ego wants me to roam around.
