I hope you like Lightnings ...

The issue is you cannot simply go into a tank fight and think, all I have to worry about is the tanks, and other enemy tanks. There is an extreme prevalence of C4 users on my server, and I don't have eyes ontop of my head to keep track of LA's who fly high above me in the middle of a tank fight to C4 me. Tanks cannot ignore infantry around them, because infantry are the number 1 threat to a tank, and a tank is the biggest source of XP next to a Sunderer for infantry to go after. The issue is that infantry can easily fight outdoors with lock on's, the Lancer, and the still OP/broken AV Turret and dominate tanks at range. Infantry can actually take out armor better than armor can in the open field right now. Lastly infantry can just as easily ruin a great open field tank battle with long range AV weapons as tanks can shell a spawn room or a base, it goes both ways...
