So just now I went into a pub skirmish match and the opposing team (no exaggeration) had 4 Tanks and 1 dropship.

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.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT QQ, I HAD FUN!!!!

give your troll a 3/10, militia av should not take a dent into a fully specked out vehicle, it would be like a small team of the starter ship in eve take on a titan, it would not work

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.

No problem with the match. No problems with tanks being tough. I'm simply changing my opinion on tanker QQ. I don't know if some people are trolling me or just plain stupid.

This isn't EVE and this isn't a ship 100 times the size of another. Titans require the resources of entire alliances in order to build, so if you were ever hoping to have the cost reduced, this is a bad argument.

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. if only the infantry could come to peace the same to take out POS tankers working against the team they are on in favor of getting easy kills. It took me way to long to figure out what you were trying to say.
