tanking is a great part of the game. i enjoy it thoroughly. while its not everyone's bag, it shouldn't be dismissed by those that would rather not partake either. many people enjoy the many different aspects of the game.

No one is safe in a tank against the Grayclif. I will bomb**** all of you into oblivion. And I will destroy tank town, and keep TT bases shut down too! And that goes for you and your little dog!

 Dr7..... I agree with butcher, the LTARS back in the day were damn good...     Also, and I may be biased because he is a squaddie, but Fester is a beast in GV's... just sayin...

So why did Hitech Add vehicles to an exclusive Air combat game then?

Beats me, personally when I went to sign up it was because it was an airplane game, although gvs seem to becoming an increasing factor in the gameplay last few years to the detriment of the air combat side.

Tanks are a great way to get new players interested in the game. You have to remember most gamers don't have flight sim controllers, but you don't need them for tanking.

My most gratifying gv kills are the ones where I had to drive out someplace, bag some kills and then drive home. Aggressive tanking is like hunting, it takes patience, discretion and awareness. Of course sitting near an enemy base in a wirble ambushing formations of heavy bombers taking off is gratifying too.  :t

Tanking is interesting when you have been in this game so long as an airplane driver you've forgotten to check how many GV perks you have. TigerII's are fun and almost invincible. But, which fool let bombers carry bombs? You up a TigerII and every swinging joystick slammer in the sector shows up specifically to carpet bomb you with three lancasters from 1000ft.

I think now I'm getting why I see very few of them off the concrete. They cost almost as much as a 262. Last night it was 160 points. Then the lancasters came. Oh lawsy the lancasters drove through and smothered me with carpets of exploding affection. Now if I could only figure out how to aim with that zeiss ranging sight it might be worth carpeting me. 1 kill for almost 50 rounds fired.

GV's stink if I'm in them......

wardog19 and bucket. Both are way too aggressive.

I have to point out, Mano, that you don't have to step off of the concrete when you can hit and kill at ranges beyond 5k. I recently went off concrete with a T2 and scored more than two dozen kills, but the rooks were ravenous for that T2, probably because of the achievement you can get from killing one. I even had a lightsabre-type scrap (he was climbing around inside my T2 - how gamey is THAT?) with one dweeb in his M18 that didn't know how to kill a T2 even from twenty feet. I mean it's embarrassing sometimes how shook up people get! hehe

You'll have to wait on the lightsabre fight. I'm still working on the special effects for that film.

I get a little tired after flying to many combat missions, with self awareness and SA - monitoring fuel and such, after a half dozen I enjoy sitting in a tank where the battlefield is usually only 7k long and 7k wide - short combat where SA really doesnt matter if you have numbers or not, just point and click.

Aggressive tankers push forward leaving concrete behind no matter what, and re-up endlessly coming back with dogged determination...  :old:
