I remember Mano climbing a tree in his M8 one time when we were camping a spawn.  It was awesome.

There are unfortunately some players who have learned how to "game the game". Mano & TyFoo are good examples of how they take advantage of the games design with the shrubbery, tweaked sounds, etc. You can't fault them unfortunately because everyone can do the same thing but just many do not know about these tricks they have learned. TyFoo never seems to die in the T34 either even when being shot at point blank range...haven't figured out how to overcome that one yet...but...

They (and others using similar tactics) are the players we love to hate...for good reason...so when you learn the knowledge share for all so we can level the playing field :)

The Most Interesting Man in the World once said, "See those nuts? They are there to make us thirsty. While I don't like being coerced... in this case I shall make an exception."

See those bushes Elec1? They are there for GV's to hide in. That is exactly why HiTech put them in the game. GV's in World War 2 did hide under cover, where ever they could, trees, bushes, burnt out buildings, under bridges, made up camouflage from tree branches or nets, anything to avoid detection.



The tanks were also painted to blend into their environment with various schemes best suited for the terrain that
they would be crossing. AH3 has lots of skins to choose from.





AH3 has is all.

M8's are very hard to see in any cover. Very small profile with anything that keeps the profile from breaking the visible horizon. I have had both Mano and Tyfoo pepper away at me and when I finally do spot them i'm tracked, turreted or engine out. Their M8 has been in a wide open grassy area where you'd think it would be easy to spot them. But if there is any foliage even a few hundred yards behind them it keeps their profile out of the skyline and their M8 blends into the grass colorwise quite well.  As far as killing T34/85s, you have to hit them right with a pretty heavy shell 76mm or bigger.  Lower chin where the plate slopes up or side turret base are good spots.  The Firefly is a good 1 shot killer of that beast, but don't miss that first shot.  The fun part is seeing them first, good cover is key. I was Infantry, but you stick to cover, fight from cover when you can.  If caught in the open, had to get to cover because your fatigue buttons always felt like they were holding you too high off the ground.

I hope we have some easter eggs to look forward to in future map updates....

And if not im sure we can get a community pot going for Bustr so he can sit on his keister for a month and pump out some more gems :cheers:

Hell I would pay a solid 20 flat if it went towards paying someones salary to live the american dream and keep us fed with regular map updates and new maps every 30 days....

It's an unintended consequence of the new system. Some players look for those and guard that secret from others and exploit it at every opportunity. I just report them as bugs as I find them.

Hiding in bush, or cover, is what we trained to do in the Army when I was a 19 Kilo (M1A1 tank crewman). We'd literally cover our tanks in foliage and back up into the tree line. This isn't a bug, it's a feature.
