Is tank pawning bad sportsmanship?

R@ge · Post by **R@ge** » 2007-06-07 23:05

Just a question…
After playing some rounds on Al Basrah where I owned the enemy with my tank i thought about something.

"Is it nice to kill 50-60 enemies with your tank, or should you park it and fight like a man??"

I do think a couple insurgents on Thors Brigade 24/7 server really hated me after getting killed 30 times or something.....

LMAO... sorry about that.... ^^

If they are not competent to stay away from a tank view, or after dieing 30 times no thinking to pick up RPGs and blow it up, then they deserve to be 'pawend'

RPGs need to be made about 10x more accurate than they are now, and then it would be marginally more fair. You shouldn't have to be 25m away from a large target to hit it. Real-life RPGs are accurate over hundreds of meters.

Ah, I haven't used them much in v0.6. I'm speaking from my v0.5 experiences.

No, tanks pwned infantry since WW1, people should know more like in real life, when you see a tank comming at you, get the hell out.

If it was supposed to be fair, you'd be wearing orange fluorescent vests and fighting with swords. It's asymmetric warfare, so it should be asymmetric.

Without much practice, a user can hit a vehicle sized target most of the time at ranges of 50-100 meters. More practice enable engagement of targets at extended range, which also provide relative safety to the user. At the maximum range of 920 meters, RPGs self explodes

From the bottom of my heart R@ge, you are the biggest whore in PR. Ever. And I hate you almost more than Two. *******. Fight like a gawd damn man, cause you know I would own your little *** if you did. AKA ... oh let me count the ways. Or the fraps movies you never made.

Lets get it on, head on ... with the glock. JO:R. Lets see who's the man. Offcourse Vera and Boonierait cannot snipe while we are going at it. Or TJ on Cobra, Duke on mortar, Pils as medic, MsDuke as whatever, MsUgla as... well AGAIN whatever ...

Other than that, I say HAIL TO HELO mano-on-mano ...

Ok, somebody warned me that people might not get the joke. So I will add this:

I would really appreciate map makers to do as I said before. Divide in two's. People who like armour, and those that like to be on foot. Other than that ... I speak to R@ge on the phone about once a week - so don't even try to go high and mighty on me.

You've got the tank for a reason, to use it.
The Opfor will most likely have means to destroy it.if not the map is unbalanced.
A MBT is today the ruler of the battles on ground,it's just a battle-machine trimmed to have the highest possible efficiency.

The only exception is,when you are postitioning yourself where the Opfor have neither cover nor a way to flank you,especially if they havent got HAT,because then they just can't do anything(But i can't recall any map where this would be possible,'cept for Baseraping).Of course, In Reality,this happens quite often, but this is a game here, and it's imperative to have some fairness.

Tank on, it's just great to see all those pesky footsoldier run away for cover when you come in you tank

Finally, tanks are now FEARED as they should be. Amen.

-Accuracy on AT seems ok to me, had a guy take out our tanks/APCs from the hills on the western side of EJOD when they were driving past Northern Desert. Pissed us off so much, and he had a few snipers covering him and it's all flats over there so we were picked off one by one, tanks cutting down anyone trying to move into west city. That round sucked big time.
