Falling tanks
« on: May 09, 2012, 08:27:27 PM »
What kind of crud is this? Tanks from Bish V 28 to Knights V 83 spawning on top of a mountain and doing a teeter on the edge to fire?
And how about the tanks falling, rolling down the mountain behind the spawn on the knights side at V83. Pretty sure that is not very real like, when a bush can tip your tank over and your done for.

Reminds me of some map where I spawned a panzer and it spawned in a tree. I couldnt move otherwise I would fall and roll over, but I could sit still and shoot other tanks from the spawn while perched in the tree.

Needless to say I stayed right there and got a number of kills from that hiding spot  :cool:

I agree!  It is an absolute travesty that it has been allowed to continue this long!

I say take this map out of the rotation immediately!

Please take it out  of the rotation...

Please...

Strange things were going on there the other day! I was sitting there in my Panzer, all of a sudden what I presumed to be an enemy tank (no icon) appears to my left, moving at a very very high rate of speed, from left to right in front of me.... he had just come flying down the canyon wall, and somehow was still moving at what appeared to be 100+ mph across the spawn.... on his roof! No way I could hit that fast of a target with my main gun but I managed a few pings on him with my machine gun as he passed in front of me, flew across the canyon floor, and exploded against the far right wall.  Strangest GV kill I've gotten credit for yet! :rofl

So how do you hit them with the unmarked 88 gunsight at that range - tape on the monitor?  You have to move the barrel/sight in order to see where the round falls.

Saw it happen more than once yesterday and it inevitably happens when a tank comes down the mountain and lands on its turret. Then it is off to the freaking races.

 :lol No, but I wish I had, lol. The whole time I'm looking at this tank screaming past at 100 mph upside down and thinking "WTF?" I'm also wondering "I wonder what the guy inside that tank is thinking right now?!?" It's either "OH CRAP!" or "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
