Why I tank whore.

The tank is a game changer for sure. When used properly it will strike fear into the opposing team. It will make you the biggest target on the map and it will allow your team to arm charges and all that good shit.

Any Mcoms in destructible buildings can be taken pretty easily with the right guy in the tank.

The tank can provide long range covering fire for advancing teammates and destroy any buildings that may have enemies in them waiting to ambush your brethren. I also like to use it like a ground based armored UAV that can spot enemies for teammates.

With a good gunner a tank team is almost unstoppable.

Few players don't realize this, they use tanks as cars and leave them for enemies to take.

I treat the tank like I spent the $4,300,000 that it costs to manufacture it and at the end of the day I feel like I made a difference.

Nice!!!!


The reason I do not tank whore is I do nopt have the patience it takes. I'm too much of a run n gunner to treat the tank right. I abuse her so she rebels against me.

I guess I tank whore too. I grab it whenever it's empty and stay in it until it blows up. It can be extremely useful.

I don't tank snipe anymore though. It's boring and just seems unfair(even though a tracer dart can take care of it pretty easily).

I tank snipe to my hearts content. The M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank has a range of 4000 meters and I'm going to use every inch of it. Yes, that's what she said.

And yeah, sometimes I get impatient as well and just bulldoze and the results are always bad.

I think since I'm drawn to the engineer class me and the vehicles just go hand in hand.

I applaud your ability to be an effective engi! Just not in my blood. I want the assault rifle, unlimited ammo, and the abilty to take out infantry!!!! O yea!!!!!!!

love me some tank whore. I always go for a tank when my team has them available for two reasons. 1 the tank is there for a reason, most levels with tanks CANNOT be won without proper use of said tank. 2 if I don't get in it, some terrible randy might and then where are we? tankless.

Terry is the biggest whore at the SeC!!!

O seeing Terry reminds me... I do move me some stationary AT's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Muwahahahaha

For some reason I don't like to use vehicles, but when I do I feel I'm pretty effective.

i jump in tanks if they are left unmanned, or if its attack on certain maps.

im fine being a gunner, im ok at it, but close quarters tanking usually gets me C4'd.

im ok at avoiding rockets since i know the obvious places to shoot a rocket from since i go on AT duty a lot when defending.

im good at tank sniping and can take out both Mcoms in arica harbour first base easily if our team is getting stuck, although i usually grab the UAV and take the tanks out if we are doing alright.

I'm the douche who places C4 on every unmanned vehicle I see. Then randomly I detonate and get some kills from time to time. Lots of fun.

and for my 900th post...

I just don't use vehicles, they almost seem like free kills. I run as an assault wookie alot, so after c4 ninja-ing tanks, I just don't get uber-excited about jumping in a tank. And I can't even use a heli that well, but I've tried a few times with no major problems.

I love me some C4! O yea! C4 and stationaries for the win! I think I have Liquid N2O frothing at the mouth for how many of his tanks I took out one game on Harvest Day! HAHA

im the douche who stays behind on arica first base with an SVU to annoy everyone by shhoting them in the back as they get into sight of the villiage base. they think its the snipers in the town not in there base.

much hilarity ensues. i can also do it with assualt, firing tracers instead of bullets at vehicles and infantry.

very entertaining if the engies on your team are running carl or rupert.

It is quite satisfying when you can destroy multiple vehicles in a match.

I'm the douche who lays down a ton of AT mines, switches to a AT4, RPG, or carl.

I have 53 anti vehicle pins.... I think that needs to grow a little!

Lotta douche in here.

i destryed a tank using my 40mm grenades earlier.

i was bored so i spammed nades into oasis defense first base. our chopper was rocketing a tank and i was spamming it with grenades. the tank guy jumped out cause he was really low on tank health, then my GL blew the tank up.

it was a shame he got out, i would have teabagged him so bad

I remember when i was going for my C4 insignia a looonnggg time ago, a coquest game on laguna alta. I would go to the enemy base and place a c4 on each of their 4 wheelers and wait to see the c4 start to move on my map and then BOOM! Did this to one guy 3 times and got some hate mail.

hahaha.
i had a triple kill from a vehilce that randomly blew up.

i had nothing to do with it, i just got some kills and a shedload of points out of nowhere. it was funny but glitchy as hell

Not enough, I still have 2 kids

It's more in the way of fun-for-us-not-for-them, anti-vehicle tatics

One thing on a SDTV I really couldn;t tell where my shells where landing very well. On this new HDTV I see the ants that my shell landed on. I can use the tanks a lot better now but I still like poundin the ground on my feets.

I don't get killed stationary AT's that much these days since I know where most of them are on most of the maps. I make sure those are the first things to go, ****ing hard to hit with the cannon though so a gunner is key.

I have 153 Anti Vehicle Efficiency pins.

153 x 4 = lots of vehicle wreckage.

yes but do you watch your own dies AT's??? Thats what I like to use HEHEHEHE

I don't remember what I have, I just find it fun to deny the enemy their machines.

Yep. And if a teammate isn't on them I destroy those too same for the heavy MGs.

They'll be back in a couple of minutes.

HAHA D is serious about keeping his tank! You like the Abrams, or the Russian tank better?

Either works but I prefer the sights on the T90. Allows for quicker target acquisition at longer ranges.

the bright light on atacama and arica harbour means the green crosshairs on the main gun and turret of the abrams get hard to see.

if there was a black crosshair option it would be easier to aim.

Yeah I hate that also.

usually i just go by guessing where dead center is, then altering from the bullet impacts.

when im sniping i can just aim by explosions

I like the sights on the t90 also..... I like the sound of the Abrams better tho! HAHA

I prefer the Abrams personally, but the low purr of the T90's engine is always nice, while the Abrams sounds like a jet powering up (as it should with it's turbine engines). I'm not as much of a tank whore unless I got a friend who knows WTF he's doing with me. I can't stand randoms without a mic, but 90% of the time I jump in as a tanker, I do extremely well. For whatever reason I don't like IFV', probably due to my inability to use smoke on them since you pretty much are required to use alt fire for them.

tanks are kinda boring in this game. And I hate seeing losers suicide with C4 on me, if only I had a co-axial gunner that didn't suck.

However I love the VADS mounted on the NVA T54. that tank is so unstoppable its hilarious.

I will agree with you there max. Back in BF2 tanks were something else. You always feared them, even more so than the APC's, that was also back when a single TOW rocket to the rear of the tank would do them in, and you had to specifically aim for the treads to deal double damage.

There was a way to OHK the Abrams back then too. If you were at the correct angle you could ricochet the tank shell of the turret down onto the body and back into the turret for a shot that technically would count at 3 hits. It was a bizarre little trick, but seldomly worked in practice.

I also miss the TV rocket in helicopters. The Hellfire is stupid and the grouping of rockets annoy me as the pilot.

I like the T90's sights because the lines are actually useful for tank sniping.

Its annoying how much drop the shells have, its more like firing a catapult than a 120mm cannon.

Also, i have 182 anti vehicle pins. is that a lot?
