another incident of tanks grey zone camping.
too far to shoot with AT rifle.
most players cant mark the target for planes to bomb.
cant use artillery strike as its out of bounds (why not)
very unrealistic
unbalances the game by using an exploit
map conditions like fog and low light on Berlin can make this extremely difficult. factor in low weight bombs that Soviets get and the red team’s tank will likely sit in the grey zone unopposed for some time.
there is however, a simple fix. a tank that fires any weapon (cannon or mg) from the grey zone should be automarked for 2 minutes, and subsequent weapon firings should refresh the mark timer.
a universal means of destroying any tank within a radius of 20 meters at each soldier (detpack).
Antitank rifles and grenade launchers.
Mines
Antitank enginier guns
Planes
Another Tanks
But not enough for them.
Now any idiot on a plane can crash into your tank and take 20 seconds to do it, while you were driving to your position for at least a minute.
Now while you’re driving for a minute any random enemy can throw an explosive pack at you and 100% kill you, you’re wasting minutes of the game.
But yes, nubs still can’t kill a tank. They need a huge machine with poor visibility and dynamics to drive at them at point-blank range, so they can easily get +300-500 points for blowing up a tank with a crew.
You can destroy it using: a plane, your own tank, building an AT cannon, with an AT gun, explosive package. Other ways would be to mark them so that a partner can destroy them, using artillery or smoke grenades, placing a good meeting point, to avoid the tank, that is, you have to be smart and not walk like a headless chicken.
Well… in normady you can always use your tank and drive close to the map border… and you know… they never see you coming from those points so is an easy kill, then you shoot a little more and move… can’t say how many times i destroyed a Jumbo or a Panther that way… I remember a match in Omer where 2 Jumbos where camping… so i took my tiger and started my journey to their blind side…
they never saw me coming, after that i got an army of planes trying to kill me.
So in Berlin i don’t have any problem at all, all those campers die very fast so… not a big deal.
Now in tunisia the only problem is my low level tank, but the idea still works. i don’t play the other campaigns so can’t speak about them.
It really does feel like they overcompensated more than just a little bit with regards to killing of tanks, having every infantry player being able to kill a tank is a little bit ridiculous and the way that the aircraft can bomb them with impunity is also a bit ridiculous, if a plane wants to get that low and drop a bomb on you the explosions should kill him as well the delay needs to be eliminated and be point detonating
there should be sudden death timer for gray zone camping. move forward or die.
btw gray zone is so broken that for lulz on d-day i go on hill with tiger and just decimate everyone cause it is almost untouchable. did anyone else notice that tiger needs to have larger ammo rack?
