You'd have one hell of a run to do that. Running up to the tank while the co-driver/radio operator isn't shooting at you with the hull gun, the gunner isn't spraying you down with the coax gun (This is actually possible) or the main gun isn't aimed at you (also possible) and taking the time to jam the 'nade in the view port is a long task. If the driver sees the grenade he could easily push it back out before it goes off - granted he has quick enough reflexes - and live. You'd have more success with sticking the barrel of your gun in and ripping that driver a new dimension in his mind with a bit of high-powered rifle rounds or a lot of pistol rounds at a fast pace.

And with that being said, I would like to nominate WARBEAST to be our official grenade runner. May we pray for his safe return...  :rofl

Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face on that one.

you forget the driver can just run you over.

midway

That too. But who's faster? A tank that is coming from a stop, (assuming that's where he was when the whole grenade to the view port fiasco started) or a man who's got a running start from about 15 yards? If he was moving to begin with you'd be stupid to run up to it anyways.

I think it would be cool if they had an animation that would show them firing their guns as they are entering the map room, like their assaulting and clearing out the room.

Question: how is a soldier going to catch a tank doing 25mph, pull ahead of it, and shove the grenade up its view port while running? Bolt would have difficulties doing that.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Nothing to stop a guy creeping up on a parked up vehicle and attaching aa magnetic mine to it. That would make for a whole new requirement for the crew to be looking for infantry as well as other vehicles. Why not Panzerfaust/schrek?
