Infantry are very hard to spot as both Driver & Gunner (Though gunners now have the advantage of Thermals so should really be spotting anyway).

The amount of space in PR battlefields however means that 99% of the time it'll be no one's fault - you can't see everywhere so when an enemy HAT does find you, it has the advantage - if the HAT is ready to shoot you they saw you first, so they should get the kill. Obviously it's harder to spot infantry than a tank, but the tank also has a massive cannon & there are only 2 or 3 hat kits on a team, which are only useful against vehicles.

Well most if not all of the tanks and some of the apc has thermal as both driver and gunner

Lets go infantry. Oh wait, lets assume there is always someone watching you, lets stay in the base. Lets not play PR. Derp?

Luda knows what he is talking about, so I'd listen to him, except most times he annoys the shit out of me by being Cpt. Hindsight.

The BMPs don't have thermal, but they can take hits like no other. A LAT to the rear armor didnt even make it smoke.

BMP2 gunner has thermals.

Its the person who is doing the positioning fault. ie driver/pilot.

Asking if there is a HAT in the area is the way to get killed. Just suspect (like Bufl4x said) a AT is everywhere. You will live a lot longer.

PR has 90% of players that don't use common sense.

Well if i had to worrie to much about people complains that i lost a vehicle to a HAT's and whatever else as a driver i wouldn't play bf2 / pr... then i would play a game without vehicles like counter strike. I play the game the way it is meant to be played, instead of using the most defensive way as if i where in a clan fight. I never liked playing staged matches in bf2 anyway....somehow clan matches always turn the game-play away from what was originally intended.

Fact is Armour is inferior to HAT, TOW etc....but is superior to pretty much everything else. Rock paper scissor BF design.

If this was an MMO Armour would be a so called Glass-cannon. You gain firepower with the risk of being killed in a single shot, as apposed to being a rouge who has to avoid every single target unless if you already got your prey targeted first.

i have a phobia of TOW missiles. They kill everything in game. Whenever i hear one in game, i instantly start running for cover and diving prone.
If im in a vehicle, then i just die.
Yeah it is annoying when your team rags on you for losing shit in legitimate ways.
