You have the best armor and shield brawlers, best rails, best generalists, best 'panzerjaegers', and best missiles.

Covert and Psychotic are the best armor brawlers
Exmaple is the best shield brawler
Void is the best shot with a rail
Bob and I are the best generalists (most adaptable to any situation but not the best in any)
General Grodd is best missile tank

Anyone who argues with this is high because time and time again, it's proven.

Nobody can hit as many targets as accurately with a rail at close range as void
Nobody can get more kills, on average, than Covert or Psycho
Nobody else can kill every time they intend to with missiles like Grodd does
Nobody who specialized in one tank style can beat Bob or I in a duel bc we just fight them with the weapons they don't have (that's why bob and I have the best duels)
Nobody can use a gunlogi with a blaster as well as exmaple- nobdoy. You'd think he was in a Madrugar with a scattered ion cannon from the amount of kills he gets.

So no, there is no such thing as 'top 5 tankers' and there never will be because if you take the most adaptable tanker and compare him to a specialist in his field, the generalist will never compare. You can't compare these things because there are 'good tankers' in their own right, but there hasn't been a best tanker since the late Slap.

i run every tank in every combo, and often ill swap them out mid match. the only thing i lose to are proto swarms. their range is unreal.

what upsets me most is that id never gotten a chance to fight any of the guys listed here in a tank battle. im not saying im good, bu when i can fight off three madrugars in a gunnlogi and kill the all... its got mean something. (probably that they just sucked)

For a lot of reasons, you are correct. However, the primary role of the tank is to destroy enemies, either in vehicle or out. If you are not doing that well, then that is an indictment of your tanking. So for tankers, K/D can be used as a valuable metric, although like any stat, it does not tell the whole story. Legends K/D is over 7, and that is with all the PC he played. That is crazy good.

I can understand that for infantry kdr isn't the whole story, but often for tanks it outlines the portrait of their gameplay. I can keep a high kdr and I primarily run solo when I play. Jason, legend, example, stormy, ninja, ebronian, muramesa, theblazzed. attorney are strong vehicle users. There are others.

KD/R means , doesn't matter how you sugar coat it, in this game it does not measure skill, because 99% of KD is build up through squishing blueberries, non stop. Players of lesser equipment, SP amount, squad strength. so much bs behind kills on this game eliminate KDR from being an acurate stat for gauging a players ability. Auto aim, and grenade spam are not play skills, this is a ** system. Whenever I see legend he always has a great squad, stopping AV from getting to him easily, AV for enemy vehicles. SO his KDR is owed to a great support squad.

That Legend was able to put up big numbers while playing as many PC matches as he did is impressive. Any statistic is open to interpretation, and K/D is no exception. It is not the be all, end all stat, but it is important for certain classes. Snipers, Tankers and Heavies can all be evaluated at least partially by their K/D. I tank almost exclusively. I don't run infantry unless the AV is so oppressive that I am spawn trapped. In which case I grab my Thales and start shooting swarm users. If you spend more than 80% of your game time in a tank, and don't have a K/D of at least 5, then you need to step your game up.

(probably that they just sucked) you probably don't do much PC then. Chances are, if you did 1 hour of PC a night, you would've fought us already. All of us run infantry in pubs, mostly, because it's more profitable. But yeah, every one of us has done that before. My hardest battle was me and earl james v bob, attorney, and exmaple. Oh my ******* god it sucked. honestly I did lose, but i didn't get completely stomped. I was pretty proud of myself.

Now it's hovering between 2.93 and 3.00 which i'm fine with. I really don't run tanks in pubs unless it's an entire team of scrubs for the fun. hahahaha....or unless i see a worthy tanker on the other team bc most tanks that spawn opposite team of me dont last the av on my side for more than 2 minutes.
