Are you discrimanated against because of your tank?

[ManoWar_awesome 26]

Do you get trolled and insulted by other tankers because of your weapon or hull? If so you are NOT alone. In one battle i was in, two railguns insulted me because i was using shaft and they said it was a noob gun. Reply if you have been insulted because of this and share you story.

[E.Leclerc 1,887]

Lol.

[Benefactor 6,888]

I dunno. I usually ignore chat. But you should be able to pick those guys off as long as you have teammates keeping everyone else busy. Do you camp or do you hunt in the game?

Tankers said my turret was --- (it's an inappropriate word)

[Meliora 1,652]

Here's how it goes.

 

Lack of good equipment - lack of crystals - lack of skill/activeness.

 

Yes, you may say that equipment level means nothing and it's all about skill, but in a standoff between M2 Railgun and M3 Railgun, we know who wins, and why.

With a Shaft? You would be unable to use its full potential if you are out in the open, especially against those primitive attacking Fire/Freeze Wasp/Hornets.

True. But an artist never blames the brush.

Lol... I use Mammoth all the time and people try to beat me up for using it, but I show 'em eventually who the Sheriff is.

The "discrimination" comes, you just have to know how to approach it and deal with it.

People who say a certain type of weapon/ hull is useless just don't know how to effectively use it. 

[I.Devastation 2,053]

I get praised in alt, not discriminated :X

[GHOST68INVINCIBLE 152]

Well shaft isn't a noob,weapon its pretty hard to use.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

It's typically the Wasp users that get discriminated against the most. People assume "Oh look! A Wasp! A mult!". Then there's the people who use under-leveled equipment. Though no know deserves to be discriminated against, we all know it will happen anyway, 

[Benefactor 6,888]

The Wasp hull is a challenge to use. You see OT experts on youtube use it for stunts and trick shots,

[personia 4,036]

Generally it's not the specific gun or hull that I am discriminated against, but the combo that I use.

What combo, if I may ask? I use Viking/Rail.  :)

It hasn't happened for a long time. It used to happen when I was a lower rank.

Perhaps not all the time, but I've noticed that people tend to insult each other's tank when they're losing. For example, when I was pwning people with my Fortress kit, people started calling me 'Thunder noob change noob'.......... you get it.

 

It might not always be your fault.

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

Regularly get insulted by the enemy team, usually railguns, because using Shaft is apparently such a sin. Also get rammed by my own teammates and regularly pushed off the map for no reason whatsoever. It happens so often I don't even care anymore.

It's funny - seeing noobs call others noobs. To me, until you have access to both M2 hulls and turrets, you are still considered a noob. Access is earned to prevent 'buyers' from leap-frogging. Rank ensures that experience is the key, not money.

[Meliora 1,652]

Slight misuse there (it's the artist that makes the painting with the brush; the brush doesn't paint it itself) - some brushes (equipment) are better than others, though they can to an extent be used to the same level of skill. But not always.

Yes with my viking and shaft in ctfs exspecially serperhov, i go to the middle and kill all who charge me.
