Excellent post Firefly. Couldn't have described the Lightning better.
If people suck in the Lightning and can't chew up even someone carrying a Decimator they need to find something else. If you get hit by a Decimator it's you're own stupid fault for sitting still and making it so easy for them.
A Lightning should be in constant motion unless it has the advantage. Knowing when to run away and repair is another consideration you need to get good at. Throwing a Lightning into a major assault is the wrong tactic for this vehicle. It can be done, but only by someone who has learned all the basic tactics first.
When you first get a Lightning start out by working the edges of the battlefield first and use it for scouting and hunting down stragglers. Give yourself lots of room to maneuver and over time slowly learn to work your way into the thicker battles. Always be mindful that you will eventually take damage and be prepared to withdraw and repair at all times. Practice what I say and you'll find yourself getting kills and staying alive for a long time.
