Yes and no.
Tanker is someone who deliberatelty plays badly in order to lose, thus reducing their league standing. After which they become seal clubbers, moving back up the leagues.

A tanker has 2 meanings
1) An unskilled guy who needs to GIT GUD, and who ditches matches to lower his league score, thus getting into lower leagues. This is possible with any hangar, even one with 5 maxed ancilots, so arguably it is worse than clubbing.
2) a person who tanks damage for his teammates, and thus able to keep a banzai charge going for much longer. Best achieve with a fujin, Carnage (but this is unadvisable as the Carnage's shield is crap), or any of the shield bots excluding raijin. (I'm number 2, especially in my fujin)

Really? I'd call number 2 a meat shield.

(I'm number 2, especially in my fujin) You are both right and wrong, right on number 1, about number 2 you are wrong but in this regard it doesn't have anything to do with "tanking" damage as the use of "tank" in mmorpg etc. Tankers ruin this game and yes its a new form of clubbing. They lower their score and ruin games for their team to get it easier to farm underleveled players. |

A Tanker is like the guy on your soccer team who just stands there watching the ball get kicked around...He might make a sloth like move towards the ball to make it appear he's trying, but, he finds no purpose in the game but to ruin his teams chances. Some tankers are a bit more generous, they will run around the field naked and screaming...again, no help to the team.

Are they the same as seal clubbers? A tanker is the a 'player' who intentionally lowers their hangar score / average damage / league score to fight less equipped and experienced players. |

A tanker is someone who drives a tank... #militarytroll but all the robots are more powerful than tanks...so deliberately using a worse vehicle to face lower opponents is actually tanking... |
