Question about kills for anti-tank's

[imported_Peter]

Hello folks! :)

I have another question. Since I got all basic badges now I work on veteran collection and I got them for all kits except anti-tank. So I don't mind if somebody will help me with some advice

Input information:
1) I have only first anti-tanks unlock so far;
2) I would like to get that badge as anti-tank should - on foot with weapons (not in plane/choper/etc.).

As you probably already guessed my problem is simple - to get enough kills.
1. Anti tank do not have grenades. But grenades work much better against large amount of infantry than AT missle, at least I have such impression so far. Also since you can't kill armor with just one AT missle that makes AT missles unsuited for acquiring large amounts of kills.
2. Shotgun (first unlock) is good but only in very close range, but in close range if there is more than 1 enemy still is high chances that you will be killed, because enemies probably will not sleep and some strange voice tells my that they will shoot back .

So in brief words - 3 of 4 AT weapons are not good for killing but 1 is good only for close range as I see it.

So if here is some expirienced anti-tank could you tell:
1) what weapon you use to score kills in large amounts (as previously said, I mean his weapons, but not plane/choper/etc.)?
2) your style of behaveour?
3) what maps you prefer for anti-tank (BF2 AND BF2:SF)?
4) if you use AT missle against infantry, can you give any hints for it?
5) do you prefer any of unlock weapons or default AT weapon?

I suggest the map ghost town. Lots of cqc to be had. Very easy to rip people apart with the Dao-12.

Well being that it is now raining light armord jeeps, and people are driving around nuts just plowing people...Try yur luck around some tree's or debree where they cant run u over, and just blow them away as they come. Personally i use the P90, wich imo is just about as good as the shotgun, because at anything more than 50 yards u need all 50 rounds to kill a single person, but up close, just like the shotgun...it pwn's. I find it's best with anti-tank class to defend with, as most the time when people are attacking they come cruising in on some sort of wheels

The AT shotgun has an amazing long-range ability. You just think that it doesn't because it's a shotgun.

Do you always kill several people with one granade? I only ever kill one if I'm lucky but if I have to use AT against infantry I generally get 100% kills.

Default AT weapon is best to be avoided IMHO.


You realise that you only need 20 kills IAR as AT? With a DAO and long-range AT rockets it should be no problem.

I'd say use the DAO on Warlord (SF). Tons of infantry fighting in the palace where the DAO will shine, plus there is enough armor to be useful as AT. Should be no problem.

I like the MP5 over the DOA. Prefer the P90 out of all 3 though.

Re: Question about kills for anti-tank's

Tried yesterday... That was not pleasant :hmm:

K/D ratio for last evening was about 1:3 or 1:4 (maybe worse)
At least for me anti-tank seems most problematic kit for killing.

Yes I know that to get veteran badge there need 20 (22 for SF), but when other kit's veteran badges was more ore less easy to get this one is big disapointment.

Maybe I shoot somehow wrong but - tried shoot with shotgun at long ranges - could kill enemy only by empting klip and even then only if I am lucky. At close ranges mostly I have to use half of clip (or more).
Similar story with AT missle - it hits anywhere except enemy (unless it is vehicle = it is big :) ). Small splash damage, and dificulty to hit infantry directly.
I start to believe that knife is AT best weapon

In warlords palace there anti-tanks shotgun should shine... if there wouldn't be lots of people throwing granades and TKing me with enemies together by granades. (I believe that at least half of my deaths in one of round was TK by granade in palace).

in brief words - that was unpleasant :hmm:

Re: Question about kills for anti-tank's

I dunno what to say, i got my Vet AT badge and i wasnt even trying....you could always pull out yur sidearm and hide in the bushes :P But with all these jeep's falling from the sky, you shouldnt have trouble finding a target, just lay in the middle of the road and wait for a noob to come barraling towards you, then pray yur missile dont go thru him

I actually find that the pistol is probably the best anti-infantry weapon AT has - at engagements with a range in excess of 10 metres anyway. I never did like AT. I play it when I need to (ie when there are loads of enemy vehicles attacking the flag etc) but I don't like it at all. Ironically though, it's one my most used kits after medic and assault. Spec ops and support are around the same sort of time as AT, but I think AT just edges them. I love the DAO-12 at very close range, but the pellet scatter means you just can't do enough damage at more than a short-to-medium range to drop the guy before his rifle drops you. I'm hoping the P90 will give me some infantry protection when I unlock it...

AT veteran will be a badge I find hard to get, but blowing up vehicles with multiple people in nets you lots of kills at once. Taking out a fully loaded Humvee or FAV, for example, is easy with the rocket, and will get you three-to-five kills at once if you're lucky. You don't need many of those to get your badge. Or a low-hovering Blackhawk trying to come in to a flag could be easy pickings with the rocket too. It's not all doom and gloom.
