Re: Points for hitting a tank

it ****es me off when i put like 3 rockets into a tank and some ******* fires his ak or whatever into the side of a tank and he gets the kill becuase he did the final damage to it. I think u should get mauybe more than 1 point sometimes for a kill damage assist if u do more damage

Re: Points for hitting a tank

I have got lucky once and killed a tank with one hit, and I'm fairly certain it was a fresh tank. I think the sweet spot is the join between the turret and the hull. I think the previous poster might be right, this might be a glitch that registers two hits for one missile impact.

It doesn't help being AT when you can't even kill a Humvee with one rocket...
If it's that hard to kill something as AT, a bit more credit would be nice.

Always fire the rocket after you know someone else has. 3 rockets should set it on fire. And if he's next to a supply box, then you better destroy it or stop trying...

What would make this situation better is if they adjusted the tank armour distribution to reflect real life.

Irl, the tank's armour is thickest at the front, and weakest at the rear and on the top of the turret.

If you could hit these locations, it would be easier to kill a tank, and create the need to work as a team to ambush and kill tanks.

It's super easy to kill a tank with 2 shots...just hit it in the front/rear treads..

I wouldn't say "super" easy, but it is possible to guide that rocket right to the treads from some distance. Alos, if you watch the intro movie, they one hit one kill the tank between the turret and the body. Good luck with that though...

Re: Points for hitting a tank

Yes it is but you can not take that shot with a missile because it's targeting reticule is too big. You would have to stand about 5 meters in front of the tank (and we all know that not even the first time tank driver will let you do that). That shot can be taken only with another tank because you can train yourself to know where that grenade will hit. You can not do it with a missile because missile can hit anywhere inside it's too big reticule.

Oh yea, it was another tank that took it out. I forgot.

That's how the armor is in BF2. A tank has 4 basic armor types: front, sides, top/rear, and tracks. Tracks can normally only be hit from the front or back though; the road wheels are considered to be the side rather than tracks.

I'll take your word for it and try it again, but I can't say I've had sucess with this before.... I must just be s&^t.

Test it in an empty server. With tank shells or APC/handheld rockets you generally need 4 hits to the front, 3 hits to the side, or 2 hits to the rear or tracks. (Stationary TOWs do about double the damage of the APC missiles and handheld Eryx/Predator.) The tracks are especially vulnerable to APC autocannon and GL grenades.

No offense, but that just stupid, the goal is to destroy the tank, so I shoot as soon as possible, and how can I wait for someone else to shoot first if I'm the only AT nearby (it's often the case).

I'm just saying it would be nice to get rewarded for the effort to destroy the tank, it's harder, takes more time, and most of the time you end up dead before you succed in destroying it, or someone else finishes it off. I'm glad it's destroyed, but still................ I do half the work, aim the last rocket for the kill thinking "your ass is mine :-)" and I see it get blown up by someone else :cry:

Re: Points for hitting a tank

The worst part is when the guy in the tank jumps out just before it blows up, and nobody gets any points.

Re: Points for hitting a tank

Yeah, but if I accidentally hit a friendly armor, I get negative points in a second, maybe even before I hit it, like it knows my rocket is gonna hit a friendly :laugh:
