you’d be surprised how many times I got shot with armed detpack just a second before it would be thrown.
yep its a 50/50 but it ends up working eventually just keep cooking and running at em cause most likely that 1st detpack killed a lot of the infantry guarding the tank, the method iv gotten the most kills with is just running up beside the wheels and cooking it till my guy throws it and it blows up pretty much instantly
…i blow up instantly too but its a 1 for 4-5 trade off

sure if the tanks get limited 1 / game so its worth it to destroy the tank.
Really? How about sitting in a tank OoB farming XP and getting 120 easy kills in a game and pretending they are skilled?

…and if AT Gunner Weapons actually fucking destroyed tanks that wouldn’t be an issue
you can get an AT Gunner on basically every squad so don’t give me some bullshit about not being able to use it… the only issue with AT Gunners is the launchers fucking suck compared to explosion packs

Well it depends, in urban maps it’s pretty impossible to do so.
AT squad being rather useless in current terms is something I can agree with. However, to change the current situation would require nerfing the amount of tanks as well. So the current situation is rather well balanced with the expense of AT squad being useless.
if he spams the thread enough he thinks that means people agree with them.
lol says the cheater that spammed chat Normandy isn’t broken while you cheated to prove your point your opinion means nothing here now
The fact I live rent-free in your head is all I need.

There are many ways for infantry to disable or destroy tanks that isn’t possible in game. Every soldier should have the potential to be able to take out a tank, I see explosion packs as a proxy for that

Just nerf their range against inf.
i think your overexaggerating how powerful it is if you want something that is like this gif try the 1000lb bomb 
No my advice to everyone is stop complaining about things being overpowered when they are not this is enlisted everything is powerful and easy to kill with. If people keep bitching about stuff people overpowered when it isn’t the devs are more than likely going to nerf it into the ground to the point where it is unusable.
So please stop complaining about things people actually think before you complain.

i would stop complaining about this one thing being overpowered if it wasn’t overpowered… 1 detpack effects a tank with 6mm thickness armour the same way it effects a tank with 152mm thickness armour… its fucking overpowered… i call a spade a spade…
think before you tell me to shut up because iv done my share of thinking…
A tank with 152mm armor won’t get killed by a detpack to an area with that thickness.
Only on the engine or underneath the vehicle can any tank be killed with 1 detpack.
Stop lying, a Detpack to the face of a jumbo never killed it
iv killed many jumbo’s with a detpack just throw the bitch at the wheelbase right at the side…
Det packs are not OP, they are the Infantry mans one reliable counter to tanks, and makes it so that tanks are high risk high reward vehicles instead of just stomp devices. Should AT weapons be buffed? Probably, but det packs are fine as is. Also, the most effective place for a det pack is by the tracks, which we could reasonably assume would set of ammo in most of the tanks in game so realism isn’t as big of an issue as you make it out to be.

infantry men aren’t suppose to have a 1 and done handheld counter to tanks AT GUNNERS are suppose to be those soldiers… but AT GUNNERS weapons fucking suck in comparison to how powerful the detpack is i can unload all 6 Launcher shots M1 Bazooka/PIAT into tanks and most times they aren’t even crippled afterwards…
like whats the fucking point of the AT Gunner if equipping a fucking detpack is 1000% more effective
No, IRL the did not carry dynamite, but game balance should triumph realisim. Making tanks powerful but incredibly vulnerable is an explicit design choice for balance reasons and det packs are a vital part of that balancing and should stay that way. Yes, I said Bomber weapons should be buffed, but not at the expense of det packs.

if detpacks aren’t balanced out then AT Gunners will remain a fucking useless soldier/squad because why the fuck would someone run an AT Gunner if they can just become a supplemental AT Gunner by equipping a detpack…
and here’s where my idea to make detpacks a mine type explosive that is manually detonated by a Blasting Machine comes into play… it would make detpacks useful in their own way because after nerfing them VS tanks they would just become another shitty grenade…
