It seems to me that most of the tanks are lacking a full description of their vast ordnance. Could anyone inform me of any tank guns you may have seen and/or used?

Isnt that enough information for you? What else would you need to know?

Not quite enough. Here:

Enforcer
Source: New Conglomerate
Type: Light Assault
Role: Attack & Escort
Handling: Excellent

Mag-rider
Source: Vanu Sovereignty
Type: Heavy Tank
Role: Heavy assault

Prowler
Source: Terran Republic
Type: Heavy Tank
Role: Heavy assault

See what I mean? No detail. Just a general description.

I'm guessin you mean things like rounds per minute or how long to reload(in seconds). How the cone of fire changes as you fire...Whether it's better to fire single,burst or full auto...
Would be viable questions. Perhaps you should state what you feel would be solid info.
As for now what does it really matter?Not too many people have even played the game let alone know such things.. Don't forget nothing is final until the game is released and even then it is susceptible to change.

A picture and a few sentences are plenty good enough for me:P

Firstly, go to the test thread. Also, the info released on the Tanks is little. The vanguad, not enforcer, is the NC's tank.

Cao_cao you have to put [ img] [ /img] before and after your image, but without the spaces. See www.oddphase.com/cao2.jpg

they should be a pain in the ass to deal with...

it would be cool if no infantry without anti-vehicular weapons could take out a tank, battlefield1942 lets grenades hurt the tank even though in world war 2 they wouldn't have even felt it.

When was the last time you saw someone close assault a tank in BF1942. I hope they have a max speed for the turret traverse, I hate the way in BF the turret turns almost as fast as you move the mouse.

cof the american sherman tanks were known as devils coffin because if hit by a grenade they would burst into flames

cof cof the italiens made a tank that wasnt even buletproof.

oh and even modern tanks need fibreglass 'inners' to stop the metal shards ricouchetting around inside it which is what happens when a tank gets hit by a bullet

and not forgetting the AP bullets they now use that are actually bullets within bullets, the outer vapourises and the inner one penetrates.

need i say more? lol tanks arent always invincible they all have a weak point a minute ***** in their armour which i dunno a bit of burning plasma might drop in
and they might work like the incendiary bombs in WWII they burned so hot they melted metal and burnt or superheated the air so you couldnt breathe the tank would be like an oven

plus its REALLY annoying when you're staning next to a tank and you are totally helpless i mean i know al about 'be prepared' n stuff but you would be! there would be sum way you could use your weapon, w/e it is to attack the enemy whether it be opening the hatch and letting of a few shots or what

im bored now so hey :p and when am i gna be a SOLDIER!!!
