I just make sticky bombs with an old sock and axel grease, when the tank roles by I slap it on the tracks and boom, tank is imobile. Works every time.

I much prefer cutting the tracks with a knife. Works everytime!

You still take damage when building is destroyed.
What would be great is to have the dust linger for a much longer time after the building is destroyed. Also would be cool if you could crawl down into the rubble, and hide after the building is destroyed thereby giving you "some" protection from enemy fire.
I just hope they fix the bandages from falling thru stuff when you toss them out. That is so lame to lose the bandage and not be able to stop bleeding cause it disappears or falls thru the floor or ground for that matter. Same thing for the ammo packs. Ammo pack and field dressings are useless at this point. Most annoying thing in the game right now. Even more so than hit detection problems. Never thought I would say that. I'm referring to 0.607 by the way. I haven't gone back to 0.5 since the betas came out. The betas are way better than .5 so whats the point right.
See you guys on the battlefield

LOL, tell me about it. I hope they can fix it before the final .6 update is released. I have faith in those guys to be able to find a solution. The way it is now makes me want to do the suicide thing so I can start over and not have to listen to all the coughing and bleeding stuff. I mean my field dressing just fell thru the ground and there is no one close enough to toss out another one only to watch it disappear as well, so why put it off right. I'm gonna die in a few seconds anyway so why wait. hehehe...

A few tips that I use when I'm a SL and in the open.
1. If on foot, SPACING. There's no reason for the squad to be bunched up so close to each other that you can hump my leg. Space out about 10 meters and use a point man.
2. Use COVER. Just because it's open terrain doesn't mean there isn't cover to be found. There are rocks, trees, hills, and and dips in the terrain. A good tactic is having the point man run about 30 meters ahead. Stopping at every hill crest to see if he can spot anything. Once the tank is spotted use the terrain to conceal your approach to your objective. If you can't see the tank, it most likely can't see you.
3. Try to get a H-AT kit in the squad. It's a little harder to hit the tanks off in the distance now without the extra zoom level but can still be done. The one bad thing is it's much harder for the H-AT troop to keep fully supplied on ammo. So pick your shots carefully as to not waste ammo.
These are a few of the things that I do that help keep me and my squad alive when out in the open.

More like if you can't see the tank, he is either not present in the area, or he is pointing his barrel at you from behind.
Too many times have I had squad members not watch our six.
