They QQ precisely because it takes a squad to kill them, if they had their way they would be invulnerable to everything except possibly other tanks and even then they would just avoid each other to gank infantry

You're crying because militia gear couldn't kill non militia tanks.

Jesus Christ.

Just as bad as the people crying that their AR can't kill tanks.

So just now I went into a pub skirmish match and the opposing team (no exaggeration) had 4 Tanks and 1 dropship. These weren't just militia tanks either these were top of the line your miltia AV won't make a dent tanks. So after being pushed to one outside objective and eventually non half the team switched to AV. We even coordinated to all fire on one tank in order to take it down. In the whole match we took down 2....... one being milita called in later. We had mostly AV but also one guy using Proto AV. Militia Forge guns and swarms didn't make a dent. The dropship went down, but it was foolish enough to stick around despite half the team firing swarms at it (no sympathy).

All in all is was a fun match, AV versus tanks running around trying to pick them off from the hills. Even with minimal success it was quite enjoyable. This team of tankers had a place and they worked well.

So what is my problem? If 6 militia AV can barely dent these standard tanks, then why all the QQ?
Is it the cost? Retreat was always an option for them but they never had to.
Is it the "OP" AV? You'd need 3 dedicated proto AV fits to take down one of those tanks.

So I'm starting to understand that many tankers have this mentality that anything other than a tank that can take them out is OP, regardless of how they use their tank.

I have never heard anyone say an AR should kill a tank and Ive been on this board for several months now
You vehicle players always say the cutest things though

And what's wrong with known tankers having that kind of truce if they happen to go against each other? If that happened to me, with one or two more other prominent tankers on my side, and a couple of other prominent tankers on the other side, I'd start up a chat real quick to make sure we purposely avoid each other. Do you see a problem with that? I'd absolutely maneuver myself to take incoming friendly swarms if a red tank is about to get trashed, should we have an agreement between us that I don't get grenaded to the scrap heap.

What corp was it?

Actually you missed a thread back during the OP days of the tac AR, in it, it was calculated that a prototype TAR was doing more DPS than an advanced large blaster turret, and that furthermore with several people concentrating fire it would be possible to kill well fitted tanks relatively quickly. Despite the ludicrousness of this people were still defending the TAR.

Also complaining about militia AV being useless? Of course it's useless, you need some incentive to spec out of it don't you? And it's blatantly clear that the vehicle/AV balance needs some major work, things are kinda bad right now.

We had a proto AV guy, he actually lost a lot of ISK trying to help us out. I could understand 2 mitita AV guys not being able to take out a tank moving in and out of cover, but we had at least 6 people running AV, and we were all shooting at one tank, and it barely did anything.

I love running with tanks, I want them to be tough, but even 3 Miltia Assaults can take down 1 Proto Assault. The tanks weren't even trying to avoid our fire.

Ugh thats ********, did they all just happen to magically forget that all vehicles greatly resist small arms damage and that turrets by pass that resistance?
Like I said, **** like that is why its hard to take vehicle players seriously, they come up with wild accusations backed by faulty math and expect us to not call them on their BS

The problem is you not being a contributing member to the team if you do that
The way I see it you are much dead weight as redline snipers and MCC AFKers

Although take that with a grain of salt since I AFK half the time as well

LOL How is that dead weight? If 4 tankers on either side have an agreement not to fire on each other, and I'm protecting them from my team's AV, mostly for laughs to teach infantry a lesson, how is that dead weight? I'd also be killing red infantry, as well as plowing into blue LAVs.

It's a damn pub match, it's not helping FW or PC. It means nothing.

How were you shooting? Were you all firing in one volley? Or were you keeping up a constant barrage? Was the tanker running hardeners or reppers? Or both? There's more than a few things to be taken into account, if your not doing enough damage quickly enough he'll just keep repping that damage away.

Oh no, that math did take reduced efficiency into account, if you got enough people you could kill a tank with TAR's. and are you really one to call vehicles users bullshitters? As far as I've been playing this game (since the start of the year) it's the infantry who's consistently come up with the most ridiculous QQ topics and call for nerfs, and they've always flooded the forum with it.

You should change your username to "I am AIDS" for all the help you do

Sounds like you we playing against stb
