In my eyes it would be a last ditch effort for a Titan to attack infantry in
this matter. All your forces broke or killed and all you have left is your
Titan, and to me it sounds like this is the problem. For I know damn well I
don't go around charging my Titan into infantry piles. For one it's to slow
and for two it would lose. Anyway think all this started in Norway and
Zimbaway LOL do either of these countries have tanks? Is this why they think
that tanks/ and up are all so powerful? Just funnin guys don't get upset LOL
