Stop using tanks like medieval knights on horses!

Countless of players even at marshall rank players who always charge their vehicle directly to enemy tanks or ,even worst, to infantry then got blown up or setted on fire by nearby flameguys easily.
They dont try to flank, they dont try approach to enemy points from different angles/ places (some maps are not fit yeah but u can do it in majority of them still) . Or they do not have patience to drive for 30 sec- 1 minute more to use enviroment (like using buildings and hill to cover when retreat ) , instead of directly rush to battle.
Do Majority of players think driving armored vehicles are some kind of equivalent of jousting tournament :rofl:

Lol, somepeople think Stuarts, Ha Gos, PzIIs are bullet proof and that gives them the idea they are invincible, I think players who are new to tanking should play pacific where they learn quickly all tanks are vulnerable and they learn to flank and peek too.

Can’t shoot me when I’m running you over.

Hard to detpack me when I don’t stop moving either

Some people treat their tanks like taxis or another assaulter squad for a stupid reason but for people who have better tanks, those players are dead weight as they use a slot instead of the guy with the better skills and better vehicles that would’ve been a huge help on the team.

Bit harsh, we should welcome new players, we all had to learn at some point :wink:

They are not bullet proof, those that you mentioned are usually useless slot blockers.

The idea of “slot blockers” is why the devs never should have added nigh-invincible heavy tanks to begin with.

I agree but in current state of the game i’m just presenting the facts.
Most ground vehicles in game should be halftracks, armored cars, light tanks and mediums at best.
Same goes for aircrafts and abominations like Ju-188 and A-20G completly removed, also in this case bombs damage should be rebalanced.

One of the most fun that I’ve had was “tank jousting” in Moscow with the PZ.IV E but I guess that was wrong, obviously sitting on some hill in the spawn is better.

The BT-7 is loads of fun for jousting. Running people over at mach 6 never gets old

People: complaining about tanks that camp from a safe spot.

Other people: complaining about tanks that rush forward.

Tankers:

There’s an old Italian song whose lyrics translate as:
You work, they throw stones at you
You do nothing, they throw stones at you
Whatever you do
Wherever you go
You’ll always get stones in your face

Sure jousting wasn’t really common on my part due to my playstyle and what tanks do I prefer but one time had a fight with a Panther at very close range in my IS-2 where the 122mm did not pen so ended up switching to commander then threw an explosive pack from the commander’s hatch and panther got blown up before my main gun finishes reloading.

It seems more common to joust in Moscow even in a T-34 because some sneaky tankers.

sadly, running over doesn’t work anymore, i mourn the day we lost this feature. Please add it back, Darkflow.

When running over enemies was still a thing, I used to do the same, get up and close with the combat, score kills everywhere, down or kill enemies with MG and HE, run over the survivors, head on to the next patch. But since running over is not possible anymore, I have leaned into a more campy Playstyle with tanks.

This is bs and made up
This cannot be italian saying
Italians are too lazy to work anyway

well I can see it being italian, better to get stoned whilst relaxing than being stoned at work

How are you supposed to flank in this game when the maps are flat 2m wide arenas?

Tanks cannot use gun depression, they have poor visibility (no 3p / no team aid), you spawn on a road and the enemy is right in front of you camping spawn. This is NOT WAR THUNDER where tanks can actually try different things.

What you ask is impossible OP.
