Go medium taks!
not to heavy... not to light: just right!
All the pro's have light tanks, they're to hard to control and they get on your nervs when your battling them... THEY ARE TO FAST!!! The only thing they are good for is scrum... and I hate scrum!
Heavy tanks: good for skydiving
Medium tanks: battle mode campions
Light tanks: CRAP, absolutly crap!

Except for a handful of Light players who are dead-on with their shooting (hat's off to you all), it usually takes a gang of two or more Lights/Mediums to take down a good Heavy player. Usually one or more of the adversaries pop when the Heavy pops.
The Heavy can out maneuver the other two tanks types in tank to tank, close-quarter battle. It's gun inflicts the greatest damage. Being slow makes it a very stable gun platform. The Heavy can take a beating and still make the kill.
It takes a different set of skills and tactics to score well in a Heavy. Don't run and gun (because you can't run) or just be a stationary sniper (big sitting duck). If you can wrap your mind around the lopsided physics when a Light rams a Heavy, there are advantages there.
One tactic to use when in a healthy Heavy is to aim well to damage tanks from a far to mid-distance. Maneuver to allow your opponents to close to your position of choice then finish the kills. It's not always true that a Light picks the time and place of a fight. And don't forget to keep a close eye to the radar during all this as others will gang-up on you from another direction.
The Fat Tank is under-appreciated until you can gain the skills. Just my long-winded two cents. I'm still learning from you all so see you all in the vBattlefield.

Heavy is my choice for Team Battlemode and Battlemode while the Medium is prefered for Scrum. Can't drive a Light if someone paid me.Except for a handful of Light players who are dead-on with their shooting (hat's off to you all), it usually takes a gang of two or more Lights/Mediums to take down a good Heavy player.
