In Fallujah, the US has been given an Abrams tank, and currently i have found no way to counter it. Land mines, IEDs, RPGs, all seem to do nothing. what is a quick and effective way to deal with these lumbering behemoths?

umm...gary

2 Artillery IEDs should do it. Or the little bombcars if Gary isn't around.

mines work good against the infidel tank

Yeah, don't even bother RPG'ing that thing, even from the rear it can take multiple hits without going down.
It'll just reveal your position.

IED and RPG combo , don't worry about destroying it just try n track it.

its a pretty tough cookie, only gary is a really good counter, unless it comes in to the city itself, then its much easier to take it down bit by bit

City RPG ambushes work good, IED's to track, and bomb cars take down about 1/3 of it's health, i THINK. So just rush it with bomb cars one at a time and hit it with RPG's and IED's. Once its tracked, it's fucked.

Get a few civis to jump in front of it. Then when the tank is surrounded either sneak in and IED and mine it, or wait till they get frustrated and pop out to arrest them..then you shoot the driver or gunner.

You can drive over a civilian without penalty.

Incorrect. You cannot run over a civi without penalty unless he has operated a vehicle, switched kits/spawned, or healed/revived in the last minute.

He's still living in the v0.85 time . But I think a good way is to get them into the city, or on a bridge and blow him up with arty IEDs. Or garies, but still the tank is a mighty weapon, but his weakness is his speed, low mobility, seize and the low turret speed. If you use this you can take them out lower losses than normal.

you dont even need gary a civi bomb car rake down gary!

MINES DO WORK ASWELL!

Incorrect, I've ran over civvis loads of times with no penalty, and never with a penalty

Also - the penalties mean virtually nothing to people now.

Do everything in your power to track it, once it's tracked, it's a big fat stationary RPG/IED/Jihad target.

The other day i got into the abrams and as soon as we got out the north gate. BOOM. bomb car...

So yes there is means of taking it down, normally alot harder than my story though(Slow gunner )

hmm are you sure the civis you ran over didn't do anything 'wrong' in the last minute? i has the .91 updated manual in front of me right now and it says you cannot run them over...
