Ill give some woods tips.  Sound is your best friend.... Suround sound is worth its weight in gold. Shut your engine off figure direction of travel. then flank them from the side. They cant here u coming while their running. Except for the sound slider deal and thats only good to about 800 ...and you should have killed them by now.

If you stop shut your dang engine off.

Belial how about some advanced tips... For every one u post Ill match it


<S> enjoy

I would like to post something to refresh this topic, yep here we go :)  I thought of another tip for driving Panzers.  If you go into your main gun and zoom all the way in, you can press F-8 and then use your number pad on the right of your keyboard to move the sights up and down.  What does this mean? That if your use to how the Shermans sights look, you can make your panzer sights match up with how the Shermans appear.  This works well with Panzer, Tiger, and T34-76 models.  The deault sight in the Sherman is showing all of the aim references, I align my sights even with 3,200 in the Panzer  :salute


I also have a tip for those who enjoy spawn camping like I do.  If you have the perks for a Sherman firefly USE THEM, it has very good visibility of a spawn when zoomed out to where the black circle meets the top and bottom of the screen.  If you know the general location of where the tanks will be spawning you can watch a greater amount of the field with the Sherman than any other tank.  Many people switch from the pintle to the main gun when acquiring a target.  By staying in the main gun and simply zooming out some, you still have a very good view and save precious seconds.

Another funny thing to do is killing tanks with jeeps

HUH??  :huh

Yes, you can drive your jeep within the enemy tank, and pound your .50 into his driver :D

BOOM

Im not sure if this still works though
It also requires an enemy with lack of awareness and he shouldn't be driving (this makes driving into him pretty hard).
Usually, when they have their engine still on, they'll never know you're coming :)

I don't think you can do that anymore but you can run down Panzers from behind and kill them with the Jeep's .50 cal by just firing into the back of them.  I love that!
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

And shooting and ranging is an art form and something you just have to learn with trial and error. And my favorite thing is getting between 3200 and sometimes I would say 4k out from a spawn and use your courser to line up the distances beyond 3200 to the area there spawning in and in a M4 (don't know about the other tanks) I can kill with 2 or 3 shots and sometimes 1. And the good thing about shooting from that distance by the time they get close to hitting you, you can most of the time pop the turret.

Non AAA AFV's in this game have a serious , laughable flaw . They can and do shoot down Aircraft with main guns .

It's not really a flaw, I imagine main guns could shoot down an aircraft...

...the problem is to actually hit them  :aok

Thought of another GV tip:  Ok on certain maps you will find yourself shooting down on someone and you will most likely be shooting crooked.  The trick to hitting someone when shooting crooked is to put your mouse cursor where your last shell hit.

Say you see a tank and you take a shot at it, put your cursor where that shell lands.  Next put your cursor on the tank without moving it, fire again and if you miss put your cursor where this shell lands.  By this point you are within a few inches of the kill just adjust accordingly without moving your cursor.

Follow these steps and repeat for the hillshot of Doom. :aok :salute
