Who is the best tanker you have ever fought?
« on: September 05, 2011, 10:07:43 PM »
I am not talking about that guy that landed 30 kills by sitting up on top the hill above a spawn point,
but that tanker that gets in your face...........sneaky, peaks around the corner pops your turret at point blank
range, then puts it in reverse and waits for his next victim to move up, He kills you one sortie after another..........
I have not been in the main that long..........but tankers that come to mind are
coondog, rondar, bishop, et al

Fish62 is one of the only aces high tankers who isn't completely befuddled by a simple flanking maneuver.

Mjsmoke is a very good tanker and Slick85 has been seen landing 40 kills.

I find it hard to acknowledge spawn campers (and vulchers).  It is too bad that some are associated with being "good" when all they really do is camp and camp some more.

I've yet to find anyone who really stands apart from the bulk of the crowd in tank engagements.  To each their own, I 'spose.

Mjsmoke tends to get irritated because he gets killed in a fighter or bomber so he goes and gets a tank to blow off steam.  At least, that's the pattern I've noticed.

Slick85 is a stratagist, he is always working out ways to out smart someone.  Seems natural that he would be good at tanking.

As for me akaMixer was a good tanker but I haven't seen much of him lately.

So far everyone was able to beat me, I never timed who did it the fastest.

I concur.  If I want to do a shooting gallery game I'll just turn on the Wii!  However all of the above tankers I have mentioned (although great campers) have fought awesome running engagements in tanks with me and the Pigs.

Rondar and me went at it for what seemed like 25 minutes before in fireflys from well outside of range both moving around behind cover....he won of course :)
