Ban tanks from firing in the grey zone

It’s not fun to have a tank in the grey zone camping and not being able to kill it.

Make it so tanks cannot fire while in the grey zone. They need to actually be in the fight

I can sorta half agree with this because on some maps the greyzone for the opposing team starts at the actual edge of the point making it impossible for tanks to do anything other than fire from the greyzone unless they want to get detpacked immediately

Cant wait for the effective covered area of 50m of own paths.

No, the game should not incapacitate the players to shoot with their tanks. But also the game should not incapacitate you to eliminate them, the problem here is not the players but grey zones.
We should remove them ! Just maybe protect the spawn (spawn in a building / In the buildings nobody could shoot or get shot) and add a little grey zones around the spawns.

This is why I dont cap or defend anymore. I just stay around farming.

They can add Flak Cannons as Engineer constructs that act as high velocity heavy AT guns

Funny, I can then imagine you’ll have people complaining about flak campers sniping tanks. Some people will never be satisfied

How about designing good maps that not just gives cqc option for players and prevent flanking ?
Oh wait, its too late for that :rofl:
Because df doesnt think, he just acts

Why prevent flanking ? It’s literally a war tactic : Attack the enemies flanks.
What would be a war game without flanking ? Oh I know : Call of Duty :face_vomiting:

Guys I really don’t know what you want, Grey zones have already been reduced to the point where people can spawn camp tanks already.

Completely removing the ability to fire from ones spawn will mean that tanks wont be able to defend themselves from those spawn campers.

This is already the case, or well at least on most maps.

The grey zone that actually protects vehicle spawns is already often so tiny that it almost doesn’t exist.

Tank being able to shoot you from the grey zone imply that you and the tank are on an open map or at least the tank is situated on an open area of the map, why don’t you spawn a plane to counter that threat?

I previously said : " We should remove them ! Just maybe protect the spawn (spawn in a building / In the buildings nobody could shoot or get shot) and add a little grey zones around the spawns."

I mostly speak for infantry. Remove the grey zones would mean we could ambush the opponent team behind or before the objective(s), that’s not enough possible, grey zones ruin it.
We also can’t kill a grey zone tank camp, that’s unrealistic. I won’t be treat like a deserter if I destroy a tank to save tens of our fellow soldiers less than 100m of the objective.
My idea is to remove the grey zones but to still protect people when they spawn.

Now for tank we could apply something similar (when a tank is in his spawn arena, it is immune to anything until he leaves and he cannot uses his gun).

The difference with the OP is that my greyzone will be very small (like only 100m²), wich prevent grey zones tank camper.

Mostly because I’m already near that tank with my squad, and I have AT weapons. I could destroy it easily without being seen if those idiotic grey zones were not there (No grey zone on irl battlefield :confused: )

In about 70% of maps, tanks are almost useless and even more useless to players who use them to no avail. A simple example is M5A1 spam.

Hard to add on Beach Landing maps.

I know, replace it with landing boats and shell/bomb hole.

Germans have high ground in Normandy. Wont help.

D-Day is a really special map, hard to balance. Because IRL, when American spawned on the beach they were spawn-killed by German Grey Zone Campers
