Just wondering how everyone would take out a tank being covert seems like a cool task.

Personally i would draw its fire while i had someone else run up behind it and place mines all behind it. Then i would have the other guy start shooting it from behind then when it turns to drive and get him he dives behind a rock and boom! Scrap MEtal and a free bunker. LOL!

En mass anti-vehicular fire should do the trick quite nicely. 4 or 5 people with phoenixes/lancers/strikers should do just fine.

One person with a LOT of range and a deep trunk full of phoenixes could do it on their own. Just keep smacking it till it goes boom.

A couple passes with a Reaver might do the trick too.

But the best way... is another tank. Get all BattleZone on 'em.

you take a standard G.I sock, cram it with as much Composition B as it can hold, rig up a simple fuse, the coat the whole thing with axel grease. now when you throw it, it should stick. its a bomb that sticks, it a "sticky bomb". think of a better way to knock out the tracks and im all ears.

:D :D ;)

Jump on top of it and set as many plasma nades a posible before jumping off. If I have engeneering, a Remote boomer should do the trick too.

I think 5 TR anti-vehicular MAXs anchored would be nice also.

Ways to take out a tank include:

Grenades, Mines, Rockets, Missiles, and booking a nice restaurant and bringing flowers :D

The title said "destroy" not "try to destroy and act like a trout smacking fool trying to make it happen". People can't even post a simple question without it being flamed or noobs giving in to there noobish ways and turning it into something stupid. Guess that's why they're noobs.

Having a sence of humor is one thing, being drunk and posting a reply that's totaly off the wall is another. Making up a story about being drunk and posting with your judgment being impaired is even worse.

I'll probably be hiding behind rocks or buildings waiting to ambush tanks with a decimator.

I get a real kick outta shooting tanks in the back in BF`42 :D
If the first shot doesnt kill em, they're usually too panicked to find me :twisted:

Man SpeicialOp, let it go, jebus. If you have a prob with what I say, ignore it, or PM and bitch. We're all getting anxious for the game, and I suppose that justifies short tempers :D

But seriously, have I somehow offended you? I guess, if it means that much to you, I'll appologize, but cripes, settle down a little bit, for your own sake. Thats where heart attacks come from.

Ideally I'd have a scout call in the tanks position and probably direction of travel.

I'd then either get the hell out of the way (and send a call to troops further down the line), or set up an ambush.

Ideally I'd use airstrikes - tis possible in PS?

Anyway, whenever I play BF1942 we're generally prepared for tanks, or get one person to play rabbit if we're surprised by one.

Well there are Reavers, I guess that counts as an airstrike.

For the sneakier sort I bet an ACE pack would definitly hurt a tank perhaps even more than a rocket launcher.

No infantry rocket launchers (bazooka/panzerfausts) in WW2OL.. so I am quite used to running up the to the tanks and placing a pack of tnt onto a tank by now. :rolleyes:

Yet by the ways it looks almost everyone is going to be packing a rocketlauncher, can't wait to see how balanced the tanks are to the AT guns.

You could just use anti-tank bees, but those are expensive and dangerous to employ.

Using my strength implants employed in my MAX armor I would literally bend the tank's gun so when it fires it instantly explodes!

Yeah, but they're prone to misfire, and you have to have the back-to-back episodes of Will and Grace playing in the background to agitate the anti-tank bees enough to attack their designated target.

A guy in a cloaksuit just hangs out on the back until it gets back to base. When it does and the pilots hop out, the I.S. guy caps 'em both and steals the tank for some vehicular manslaughter.

THAT, my friends, is how you kill a tank. :p

I would pee in its gas tank, so it stops running, when the driver goes to check the engine, I would go over, and stab him..

Using axes to decapitate is more fun. Too bad no axes are in PS.

5 mines stacked ontop of each other + anti-vehicular missle

Im pretty sure mines have to be a certain distance from each other, same as turrets.
Again with the T2, but if you put down a second mine next to another one then it'd blow on its own.


I'd take my squad, tell them we're taking such and such vehicle out, and we all pull out our phoenixs :) Or our 2 AV MAXs come running up. One or the other. Prob former as Im gonna dedicate most of my time indoors which means AI MAXs

Well, the best way to take out a tank is to have a team of adept hackers standby for your signal. When the time is right, command them to apply their skills, and reprogram the tank into a quadriplegic bunny rabbit. Eradicate this motionless bunny with what ever weapon you have on hand.

How to effectively avoid getting the crap blown out of you by a tank.

1. Spot tank (item 1)
2. lose control of blader systems (item 2)
3. Cower behind rock (item 3)
4. Tank (item 1) passes without noticing you.
5. Regain control of blader systems (item 2)
6. Go to nearest friendly base and brag about how you managed to outwit 4 enemy tanks and survive.

1. Drop pod full of MAXs on top of the tank, crushing it.
2. Put banana peel in its path so it lands on its turret.
3. Tie its barrel in a knot.
4. Act like it's cornered you against a cliff, then run behind it. Whip out a stereo playing a random boy band. Watch them commit suicide as they try to flee.
5. Run up and impale the driver with a sponge.

REALLY REALLY hope that the tanks are ten times tougher than in BF1942. The ramming with a jeep thing is LAME!

Yes I know its fun. but still. The tanks should be a VERY powerfull craft.
