Having fought many tanks both in my own, and on foot, I'd say that tanks are some of the most regulated weapons in the SLMC, there are usually only slight differences in firepower, mobility, and speed, and some tanks have poorly scripted armor systems that actually make them more survivable, but in the end it comes down to the operator's skill. My ASI VM2 nicknamed "Sheila" usually comes out on top though :P

@Karenronwood

if you want the best tanks in SL, join AN...

This video is nearly a year and a half old. I got the tank for free.

One of the best AVAILABLE tanks for any realistic price. ... pretty effing low lag too.

[Karenronwood]

I'm surprised no one said anything about the use of all those advanced menu options. Back when it was the only commercially available tank, the ISA was pretty good. However, nowadays there are freebie tanks that outclass it.

@Karenronwood

As it's been said many times before, advanced menus accomplish what alt camming can do... just quicker. If you notice, I don't fire a single shot with anything disabled. It was a necessity at times with my awful computer to disable things as alt camming was laggy (also wireframe, which I don't really use).

..As for the tank.. yeah the ASIMK2 is better and more versatile... but there are even better... I piloted them back in the Alliance Navy. ..omg..

Aw sweet Maza, I didnt know we had our tank in a video on youtube.

[RoudyRaccoon]

Well that could be argued, yet again I've never piloted one so I can't say, it's a true fact no piece of equipment can be respected until used for one's self, I'm sure it's an amazing piece of machinery though.

[mazack00]

Our tanks are the most maneuverable on the grid.

The pilot was must have been some new cavalry guy.

[RoudyRaccoon]

I personaly think the AN tank is too easy to kill aswell, not because of it's systems, but because the drivers just stand still, allowing me to fire as many Sabot rounds as I want with 100% accuracy, rendering the AN tank useless, if they would move, then it would be more effective :P

[mazack00]

It's a shame that there's no universal constraints on weaponry. We're pretty much forced to use overpowered, and possibly laggier munitions counter these what-would-be decent war machines that really are a step forward in SL combat.

Conversely though, we must consider: It is very killable, almost as easy as the ISA MBT... Not nearly as bad as 2142's tank in many ways though, and even I think our AN tank is a bit overpowered in some areas..

[RoudyRaccoon]

Not really...the only way I've countered the legion...because it's now impossible to do so with bullets, is every medium sized tank I make, is equiped with armor depleting volley rockets, firing about 4 at a time, promising the Legion you fired it at, "will" be dead in about 8 seconds.
