Yeah.....those guys who reup over and over instead of looking around or listening from the tower which would reveal the enemy tank camping the hangar.

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.

I'll have to agree with this.  After 2-3 hours of frenzied air sorties, the ground game lets me slow down a bit.  You will usually find me in a GV or field/ship gun late at night.  Better than trying to drill holes in the ground over and over when I am tired....lol

It was not my intention to put down the tankers in the Heavy Tanks, but give some attention to the guys in medium armor tanks. They really are fun to fight. The Heavy Tankers have their role and niche in the game, ie. base defense, protecting the spawn, and so on.  I can start a thread later on the Heavy Tankers. There certainly are allot of them that are absolutely untouchable when the enemy ords are down. They find that one spot in the terrain where there is no cover and kill anything that approaches.  :salute

Some more medium armor tankers that come to mind are:


Wardog19
Farflite
Dcat,
Bucket,
Dr7


They just keep coming after you. LOL

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...  


Fester?? :huh

Pfff, think I can take him in a tank.  Aeroplane much tougher, but in a tank... well... nuff said. :salute

What do you mean by aggressive?

Quite a bit of variance in the names presented so far and my definition of aggressive. No doubt all of those mentioned so far are great/good shots, but aggressive...

As glbade once said "Walleye is out here in the middle (of spawn) and wants to fight like John Wayne."

I'd say trying to hunt down another gv that's heading toward concrete to land kills while cutting through the middle of a spawn and subjecting yourself to many other ways to die is pretty aggressive. Yet so is upping a Pz 4F or the like 5,6,7 or so odd times to kill that heavy is pretty aggressive too -when knowing your chances are slim...

Subjective list and I think it would be a long list, but I did give you two and endorse Wezel making the list.

Nothing to gloat about, but myself and Hooter made one hell of a pair of tankers when it came to shutting down a GV spawn - ProJoee from the 367th proved himself a damn good tanker he just prefers to fly.
Only time I seen 3 people land over 100+ kills in a tank in one sortie, I just wish I knew what happen to Hooter - I think my former buddy has passed on (he was over 70 and had recently beat cancer) I think it might of came back.

We would sit at an empty spawn for hours just chatting away, if I had to buy anyone a beer he'd get two without question. That and he taught me everything I knew about tanking, something I really never took serious until he let me tag along one day.

Because of him I used to teach in the Training arena for a while (unofficially) just to teach tankers some basics, I could never be a trainer but one thing a few of the people learned off me is if you are aggressive enough and learn to tank, you can outflank your opponent and win just as in a Duel in an aircraft.

Yeah that's pretty much the opposite of aggressive tanking.

when did spawn camping turn into "aggressive tanking" Butcher?

pretty sure the term is meant for people who roll around the field looking for enemy armor, not sitting within view of a spawn point waiting...

I use spawns to spawn in......nothing else because there isn't anything interesting there.

The fields are where the action is at.

I actually enjoy taking a Tiger2 off the base, yes I have been bomb****ed alot, but I have had fun evading way off the base as well. Hide and seek is always fun.   :x
