Not getting Tanks?

[FecklessJoota]

I played entirety of dead center (advanced) campaign and did not get a single tank?
Same happened to me on Dead Air and I just quit in the middle out of frustration cuz faced no tank even in that? Is this a bug? Can an addon cause it? (Official Dedicated Server not local)

Sometimes the director won't spawn a tank at all during a campaign except during finales. It is more common in Easy and Normal but not unheard of in Advanced. Usually, but not always, it will depend on your performance during the campaign. If you are struggling the director may lay off the gas.

I recently played No Mercy where this happened, though the A.I teammates and myself were doing a bang up job in racking up damage without a tank present.

Remember that this is also the same director that says "you want health packs on Expert, how about go ♥♥♥♥ yourself you get nothing" so I wouldn't be too sure if I can trust the director not to spawn a Tank just because it wants to "ease off the gas a little"

Nobody gets tanks. Tanks are quite misunderstood creatures. Nobody cares enough to get to know them either...

I was referring to Advanced on down though. You brought up the difficulty where the Director decides to get out the fine leather, chained wrist bracelets, and withholds a critical word that must be spoken for a break as you attempt to get through its fun house without getting...surprised. The director at that point does not want you to heal up too much as it gets excited seeing all that bruising. Pain pills are okay though because everyone needs to at least numb pain so as to not pass out from it.

Expert's do able, but when you have a director that's PRAISED not only by the players but also the media for being rather advanced for its time that it alters conditions entirely based on the player's individual and overall team stress level only to have that praise be thrown out the window when the last difficulty is played is a flaw in the director's A.I, but thankfully Manacat made a mod that does what the director should be doing on their own along with some other stuff that makes all the praise given to the director seem puny now a days.

And to anyone that plays Versus Mode, yes they also work with Versus Mode and both sides will have the same layout as each other.
