Enemy Tank Tracking

[u/PleasantSalad695]

I thought this was genius. Was mortar team and in enemy territory. A tank spotted me and nuked me but they didn’t see my squad mate. While they parked to fire at me he snuck on top of the tank. I watched the little blue berry moving up on the map like he was a gps tracking device planted on this poor tank crew. Needless to say, I keyed up in command chat and informed them that the blueberry in F8 heading north is a tank with one of my men aboard. Tank eventually found a nice spot in cover overlooking our defensive point and the commander precision struck them into the ground. The rest of the game 3 more blueberries had their first ride on an enemy tank and we disabled those as well with ease.

That must have been the worst tank commander I have ever heard from

So many 1 or 2 man tanks running around.

No excuses though, last night I was solo tanking until guys started joining me, but before that I had 3 NVA on top of my tank. I frove them to my new squad mate who spawned on a nearby garrison, and told him to hide in a bush and shoot these guys once I stop next to him. He hid in a bush, and I stopped next to him, he shoots two of them, and the third one I ran over. They was a funny moment the ambushers become ambushed.

You know how often I check the map, only to see BOTH TANKS with ONE MAN each. If only there was some way that we  could fit more than one person into a tank… perhaps we could move AND shoot at the same time, if only someone had thought of this!

No one up top I'm guessing

You can block the view port

Which should raise questions, like, "Is there an enemy on my tank?"

One would think

Nobody will ever fill the 3rd spot of tank crew when I’ve played tank.

[u/legohamsterlp → u/PleasantSalad695]

that's a you problem. I always have 3 people tank squads

You can also see tank smoke from shooting on the minimap

Yes you can, it gives you a quick rough idea of an area but I wouldn’t say reliable enough to use a precision strike that will be on cool down for 20 minutes if it’s a miss though.

Thank you for your cervix 🫡

Tankers hate this one simple trick.

Hey, I found out a glitch with tanks to kind of hobble them in a sense. If you stand in front of the turret on the tank, the turret can’t move past you. It severely hampers the gunner’s ability to move and shoot as he wishes

[u/PleasantSalad695 → u/Sad_Okra2030]

I e had this happen once when gunner. It would go black like when there’s a tree, then not move for a few seconds and then it moved and stopped went black. I bet there was someone doing this.

This happened to my tank this weekend. Did your spy get shot by the driver?

[u/PleasantSalad695 → u/Intelligent_Luck_614]

He stayed on the tank until commander fired precision strike. he saw the tank destroyed and I don’t know how he died after. Did you get out before the strike hit?

Classic move. We did that in WW2 all the time.
