Pic ownz a lite anyday
No matter how good of lite driver....

You've never played against a good light tank driver.
Even if the light tank driver isn't elite, he just needs to have a technician and about three brain cells... the PIC physically cannot win.

When you left? stfu nobody knows who you are

I don't even know who you are and I've been playing this game since 3 December of 2001 when the first beta testing happened. So why don't you shut the fuck up instead?
At any rate, the reason why Nod usually doesn't want to use proper tank tactics is because of the gimmick units that plague Renegade. Instead of straight forward C&C95 units, we have stupid shit like "Stealth Black Hands" so people run around being invisible instead of helping their team win. The concept of being invisible while you're a soldier is much more appealing than being a lightly armored, light hitting tank for most players.

Thats because you spend all your time in IRC or public servers, if you ever played clanwars you'd know who I was.. and I guarantee I could beat you in any game you want to play

Man I love public forums.
The simple fact is if you know how to use a tank, you can beat almost any other tank.
I have taken a med tank out with an apc, no lie, with full health.
Light tanks are as fast as an apc with a turrent, if you can drive it correctly med tanks are easy to take out, because the turrnet doesnt turn fast enough to keep up with the speed of the light tank.
If you just sit there and trade rounds a med tank will beat you every time, if you move and time the meds firing, you can beat the med on a consistant basis. Its really not that hard, just takes practice.
Oh and if you dont know who aircraft killer is, your missing out, some of us have been playing Ren before Clanwars exsisted.

if you beat a med with an apc, it wasen't because you were good in an apc.
No, you can't beat a med every time with a light tank.. if the med tank knows what he is doing he will beat you every time

Your stating your opinion over actual fact.
Ive owned meds with stanks, ive owned meds with arties, ive owned meds with flame tanks, if you know what your doing and have a little luck, anything is possible.
Obviously I knew what I was doing or it wouldnt of happend now would it. The tank is only as good as the driver.

Look it isn't hard to kill an individual vehicle by yourself.. the main factor is not "speed" or "armour" or whatever else.. It's the player you're against.
1. A med tank against a light tank is pretty much 1 for the med tank since if you have a hotwire you could easily just repair your med tank faster than the light tank can even damage you.
2.Even if you didn't have a hotwire a med tank is still better because it has more power and more defence.. any person with skill can hit a light tank. Easily. So to say that a unit is better since you can kill others with it is ridiculous. I can kill a mammoth tank with a buggy if the driver is that stupid. Does it mean that buggys are better than mammoth tanks? No.
Meds are the best all-around vehicles in the game. Great attack, good speed, and good defence. If you shot at a light tank the same time a light tank shoots at you and keep going you would lose about half of your health. So all you need to do is make every hit count (which, really isn't that hard at all on renegade..)
a med can beat a flame tank since if you're smart the med is just as fast as the flame tank and the flame could never catch up. a med can also beat a stank... I think it's only like 5 hits... a med can beat an apc and buggy. The only real trouble a med can have is an artillery since if the arty has cover (which any smart person would..) It can wait for you to come and every foot you go towards it; it can shoot a shell and then back thus not getting hit.. The only problem with the arty is its low armour and the fact that it is hurt by snipers...
Overall.. light tanks are good support units for artys but the main power houses are artys and meds..

I am not saying that a med tank is inferior, and I do agree that it is the best tank in the game. Im just saying that to say that a med tank rules over all is not true, depending
on whos driving it will dictate the end result. A light tank can be just as deadly depending on who is at the helm.
Now if you had say the same skill level in both tanks, yes a med would win.
I also agree with the statement about the art and med being the best tanks in the game, arties are often overlooked because of their slow speed and weak armor. However their turrnet power and range is often underated.

bassicly lights pwn :/
lights are pretty much the best tank on Field for example
assuming theres only activity in field and no abbility to attack structures. If you use the speed right and have an techie offcourse. then you could pwn GDI pretty much. even mammys

Best tank on field is an MRL, you can get 3 meds and 2 mrls and own everything that comes out of Nods base.
Keep the 2 Mrls in the back just past the river, behind the hills so they arent easy to hit, and have them continuously pound nods entrance.
Have 3 or more meds in the middle owning the harvy and taking out whatever gets past the Mrls, then when Nod is broke, and have no tanks you do a 4 med rush on the OB and its pretty much game over.
If it fails you still have the 2 mrls on the field still punding the Nod entrace so they cannot take the field,, then you just restock meds and do it again and again until it works.

I was playing clan wars in -WL- way before you were around to tell people that no one knows about them. I had my fill of clan wars, I enjoy playing in public servers along with moderating IRC while I work on my A Path Beyond project.
I don't care if you could beat me right now... Not like it would be that hard when my wireless connection causes me to get shot out of nowhere due to connection issues.

my little sister could probably tool you :/
