If you are on 64 player titan Sidi Power Plant which would you choose? Before you answer too fast think you can easily destroy a walker several ways with a tank. O and 2 words "Zoom Function" Either type of tank is fine just tell us why you chose the walker or the tank. K go.

Tank because I can use it better of the two.

Walker. Better armor, AA gun, tank shells for some reason have very bad hit detection on a moving walker, smart/skilled drivers can easily nullify a tanks range advantage very quickly without getting hit once. Plus you would be surprised how many missiles reach a tank at long range if you constantly spam them, and the damage ratio for them is about the same (20%) The pac tank is basically the only one with a chance in hell, and even then its going to take some of the best maneuvering ever seen and a lot of luck.

Against a competent walker pilot, your odds of taking him out in a tank are slim. Tank shells are only useful if you can actually hit him. plus with varied terrain and various buildings, the walker can sort of hide when threatened--tanks kinda stick out a bit more.

Walker, but on maps like Highway Tampa - tank.

Bullshit

If you're up any tank driver who knows WTF he's doing he won't get smoked by a walker.

I can kill tanks in walkers and I can kill walkers in tanks. Alot is about the timing of active defenses, and flanking. But with a tank you can smoke a walker long before he gets within rocket spamming range. But it can be very difficult to take a walker out in close range.

Strafing walker=significantly harder to hit. Didnt i also mention there is poor hit detection when it comes to a tank shell and a moving walker? I should have killed a lot of walkers, hitting them with over 10 shells before they got close and smoked me. I know 2 were shielded, the rest hit but all but 2 registered no damage, which is sad seeing how you need 5 to kill.

Yeah I know, but if you wait till he's facing you when he's turning you can own him. You just need to be really good at predicting, since it's obvious what they're doing.

And i have no problem doing that, but like i said the hit detection SUCKS so i often end up dieing when i could have killed 2 walkers with the amount of shells i landed.

if hit detection was perfect then tanks would kill walkers about 80% of the time because they usually start shooting at each other at long range

Back when I used to play this game I could take out any tank with a walker, Tanks are too slow and with a walker you have to hit them in the knees, now with a walker I especially the EU one I can hit a tank or a walker for that fact becuse the missles go where your crosshairs go, with the PAC walker it's a little harder because they curve so much at first, Any skilled Walker pilot can take down a good Tank pilot any day.

Tank for long distance sniping and close range Titan component destrucktion..

Walker for close quarters/anti-air combat..

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

im good with the a8 sumtimes with the l5, but in city maps is better the walker, wide maps like tampa and sidi or shuhia, tanks have some advantage

So there is bad hit reg with the walker. I thought there had to be as i was doing bog laps around a walker with my Type 32, pounding it with shells and then when my tank blew the walker still had full health (Pilum up the arse solved that ).

But i'm going to have to go with the walker, preferrably with no one in the second seat (I've never had a good gunner with me... ever). Partially because of the hitreg and partially because i only like the Type 32 and i think the tiger is particularly boring.

Walker, because if you know what you're doing, you can close the distance quickly and get within range of using your missiles. However, a good tank pilot can take down a walker before he gets close enough. It all depends on the situation really.

Why do you guys like the hover tanks so much? I can't stand them. I prefer to have the rotating cannon on the Tiger. But maybe that's just because I'm really old fashioned. Only thing the hover tank has on the Tiger is the ability to go down hills and hit terrain faster and harder. Beyond that ... eh ...

Yeah and people think that they have an advantage "Drifting" around the A8. All I have to do is tap "S" and "A" or "D".

All in all terrain, the player, and the vehicle will vary things ALOT.

Walker is still better though for obvious reasons.
