I'm just wondering if I'm the only one chasing after Tanks and Walker?

Nothing makes me more mad then see some guy sitting in a Tank or a Walker and not use it to kill other armor.

EDIT:
So far: 134 Walker Destroyed, APC 54, Tank 394, Transport 233, FAV 384, Gunship 112.

The poll is kinda screwed imo.

As Spawn kill is not againts the rules. Nor is it sissy because they can easily take out a tank in the main base if they gave it a thought.

I usually don't play Safe with armor unless it's Minsk on Conquest and I'm on the PAC team because it's impossible to get past 2 tanks, 1 walker, 1 APC, shit loads of Loller mines and all those Railgun turrets. Not to talk about all the people who use Pilum or rocket.

All thou I stay on distance from those loller mines because you can block them so I either turn around and switch target or stay on a distance and shoot anyone I see or if I got a friend and let him defuse them. I will never leave my tank alone.

Running at a tank with your RDX out is a almost guaranteed tank hijack. You should see the people jumping out and running away from the tank, only to find out they are about to get killed by the vehicle they just exited.

Heh heh, Rubix you reminded me of some intense battles on that map.  when I'm EU and trapped at the main base, the best bet is to take a walker and tank brigade below the bridge and flank all the enemies who are trapped with no way to go.  Most of the time you can break through.

More on-topic, Armor is supposed to play a more supportive role than first-wave attack, unless you're using a Battle Walker.  People who help cover the teams rear and lay down suppressive fire (i.e., taking out base defenses, snipers, other dug-in positions) are more likely to rack up kills and wins than a frenzied idiot who rushes head-long into a fight surrounded by enemy engineers on all sides.  However, I go active-agressive when I see enemy vehicles, especially tanks; if I can flank them, I'll take the opportunity to take them out, because it always cripples an enemies offensive potential.

Depends. My first priority is to take out other armor, not to spawn kill and cap flags (spawn killing does nothing for titan mode). So  in this case I play it safe and not rush up to silos.

If the other teams armor is nonexistence or ineffective I go for killing infantry (preferably road killing with hover tank) ... still rarely will I cap with Armor.

In titan mode i usualy play engineer or recon, so i am a armour hunter in Titan, but in conquest i play medic so i let the other guys take the armour...

I personally hunt other vehicles and only bother pounding infantry when i notice a silo going down or likewise. I keep on the move mainly to avoid pilums and air support

Do you play safe when you are in armor?
No I ran away... with a tank/wlaker???
When Im in the tank I want people to bring me some more armor... can you sit in both at the same time???
I dont need a tank or walker when im in a tank/wlaker playing safe??

WTF??

"Do you play safe when you are in armor?"
A possible answear to that question is:
I do not play safe when im in a armor, I charge the enemy with full power and when the armors low I just jump out and let it blow up without me in it...

This is a diffrent question...
"I'll make it easy for you... you either run away from Tanks or you are a Tank killer"
I kill all armor even if Im infantry I find the nearest ground defense or use the my RDX Demo pack to blow them up. When I'm fighting another tank I hit it in the weakspots and blow it up before it gets me.

I hunt armor like crazy. Alone in a Fav with a pillum on Suez, driving around and hitting Nakomatas in the ass is wonderful. I have a positive Destroyed/Deaths ratio against all vehicles.

Unless I'm close to a Turret or in a tank/walker I don't really bother with tanks far away. Though if i do get a shot against a tank in the back of course I do it and if its coming against me I'm gonna kill it if i can.

Those people who have coming running against me with RDX and I havn't been able to get a good shot at him, get instead a pillum up their lovely tank ass if they take it.

Okay, so I guess I'll list my kill count:
Vehicle               #Kills             
Battle walker       420
Tanks                 682
Transports          505
FAV                    787
Gunship              318
APC                    240

Vehicle kills account for about...roughly 30% of my 16000-odd kills, by my guess (since most had at least 1 passenger).  I do a lot of armor hunting, heh heh.
