I am not talking about that guy that landed 30 kills by sitting up on top the hill above a spawn point,
but that tanker that gets in your face...........sneaky, peaks around the corner pops your turret at point blank
range, then puts it in reverse and waits for his next victim to move up, He kills you one sortie after another..........
I have not been in the main that long..........but tankers that come to mind are
coondog, rondar, bishop, et al
:salute

JMFJ hands down. :old:
-
Dr7 and Rondar for sure.
-
As soon as i start driving a tank I'll let you know!

Fish62 is one of the only aces high tankers who isn't completely befuddled by a simple flanking maneuver.
Mjsmoke is a very good tanker and Slick85 has been seen landing 40 kills.
-
Dr7, Rondar, Wonder, MjSmoke, Belial have all given great fights. :aok
-
I find it hard to acknowledge spawn campers (and vulchers). It is too bad that some are associated with being "good" when all they really do is camp and camp some more.
I've yet to find anyone who really stands apart from the bulk of the crowd in tank engagements. To each their own, I 'spose.
-
Mjsmoke tends to get irritated because he gets killed in a fighter or bomber so he goes and gets a tank to blow off steam. At least, that's the pattern I've noticed.
Slick85 is a stratagist, he is always working out ways to out smart someone. Seems natural that he would be good at tanking.
As for me akaMixer was a good tanker but I haven't seen much of him lately.
-
So far everyone was able to beat me, I never timed who did it the fastest.
That's why I stick to airplanes.

I concur. If I want to do a shooting gallery game I'll just turn on the Wii! However all of the above tankers I have mentioned (although great campers) have fought awesome running engagements in tanks with me and the Pigs.

Rondar and me went at it for what seemed like 25 minutes before in fireflys from well outside of range both moving around behind cover....he won of course :)

He was an original aces high tanker. He was there for the first tank klubb meeting in the DA.

So like the Babe Ruth of tanking?
-
He hardly ever missed. It was like he had a laser locked on to you. At one of the tank klubb meetings in the DA it was 13 vs. xx4wolfxx .
13 panzers vs. 1 tiger
no matter what terrain sitting still or moving, he hit you with one shot.
-
There are three..... Sheep, Bush, and hill
-
Dr7 and dadrabit
-
Dr7 dadrabit Nordman and last days poolfool is good
-
Hooter would be the runner up
-
Fighting IraqVet I've found him to be a master at "Shoot & Scoot".
-

i was in the orignal tank klubb and i dont remember him.
in the modern Aces High i dont find much of a battle anymore its mostly people spawn camping.
i am grateful for any fights no matter who is tanking these days
-
Nine years in this game eight of them in a tank and I am never mentioned in these threads and well it hurts a little! Ok yes the title is "best tanker" so I can see why I don't apply. Maybe I should make a thread that says most lives givin up in a tank in a night. I think I went through 300 just last night alone LOL!
Always have a blast with you guys. Not that long ago after about 300 lives yet again I changed sides to go and yell at the 50 guys camping me. :rofl Had to go back tho since no one else was upping for those monsters.
xx4wolfxx
Wow haven't seen that ID in a looooong time.
i was in the orignal tank klubb and i dont remember him.
I am pretty sure he wasn't in the "original" but, in the second go around a few years ago.
Lots of names listed here and there are some not around anymore I'd have to give credit to for helping me in ground vehicles all those years ago. I just wish more of the ones I tangle with would show up for my GV event in the SEA "Blitzkrieg" or even help me plan a battle but, it seems Sunday nights those I speak of turn in to pumpkins or are tanking in the MA and won't leave esp. if the 141 or 85 spawn map is up LOL FORGET IT ... it's like pulling teeth although, those are my two fav too.

Dr7 Rondar and COLLEEN butcher would go on my list but he spawn camps me everytimr
-
He was there all right.
what was the females name that always tanked? man she was good. always a knight.
-

Depends on how far back. USAGirl was one. Sherri also but, she was mostly Rook if my memory is right. Judy was always a Knight. MissS was mostly Knight and a squaddie of mine for a few years.
All of the above are not around now. MissS and I still have contact and she recently got married and went back to school.
Can't think of anymore at the moment ...
-
Sherri was it.
-
I've never fought anybody good in a tank. I have been blown up by several of the names currently playing mentioned on this list. Does that mean something?
Wiley.

I really wish HTC would take a fresh look at the way GV spawns work. If spawns were more random, moving around according to where the nearest enemy is, so you wouldn't spawn in the same spot every time, GVing would be a lot more fun.
In my opinion.

Now ... Dr7 ... back in the day ... Whels was bad assed and Fester was no slouch

I once was hit at long range by a tanker..... I did not get the name but I saw shegotya sitting next to him. :D
There your mentioned :)

Thank you Sir! You have given my life meaning. :D

Now ... Dr7 ... back in the day ... Whels was bad assed and Fester was no slouch
Speaking of whels, I remember back in AH1 when flying a goon low on the deck......whels came up from behind me in a 262 without me noticing and ripped me a new one.
But..... he was so close that the debris from my once flying aircraft hit him and brought him down.
Text buffer was something like this
You were killed by whels
You have killed whels #1
:D

My favorite guys to fight are
Wonder
gravy1
PoolFool
DR7
Rondar
MjSmoke
kamori1
tankman2
I like to tank with Hooter and Butcher
once you get to where you hit in 1-3 shots at any range and hit accurately you have made it.

Once you learn the German sight and how it is used, the second shot is usually a hit. I've gotten to the point that I can hit targets on the first or second shot about %50 of the time in the Panther (rarely use Tiger or King Tiger), with the 3rd shot being a "for sure" hit. I am horrible at the M4's and T34/76mm, I simply do not work with them enough. The Panzer IV is getting easier and easier to get hits with on the 1st or 2nd shot, but the 2.4X sight is quite a bit different zoom-wise than the 5X of the Panther or T/KT.
Speaking of the Panzer IV... when it gets updated, I really hope HTC double checks the 75mm KwK 40 L/43 AP ability w/ the typical PzGr 39 ammo. It is a step better than the M4/76mm, but it sure doesn't seem to perform than way.

Word for word
Then again. I dont consider sitting in one spot playing whack a mole to be GV fighting either let alone tanking or anything even remotely resembling either.

there fixed the thread title for you ^^^^^

best tanker i ever fought would have to be Dr7. his M4 is definately the one thing i dont need around my T34/76.

"You're lookin' at him!" My vote is Rondar.

JMFJ
Dr7/Ghst
Rondar/Fester

JAMDIVE ... the best of the best...
dr7 who? :rofl :rofl

Dr7 Rondar and COLLEEN butcher would go on my list but he spawn camps me everytimr
My list of tankers would be Belial, Poolfool and Rondar. Knits have a pretty awesome tank corp: Hooter, Dr7, HC, Shufly, oddball - any one can kick back a GV fight to a spawn and clamp it down.
This being said - The majority of the time I am GV'ing is to kick someone out of a town and back to spawn. Don't get angry at me when I can spawn snipe you from 2-3k away, blame the other half that camp with 60 at a spawn (rooks? yeah guilty at 135), although you guys do put up a nice fight at 136 when you actually spawn more then 2 in there, only problem is the second a fight get's denied its automatically "bring bombs".
Most will whine i'm a Camper, however they failed to mention 5 minutes before there were 5 tanks in town and I can clamp down a spawn faster with Hooter then any other pair in the game =P
My list is basically anyone who can 1 shot you from any range under 3k, and most of the time on the move for that matter.

Never fought him... but I am glad he in on my side....

There's tank fights now in AH? I thought they were all spawn camps still...

What kind of on airplane is called a tank, the P38? I hardly ever see any tanks flying around.

IL-2 was considered the "flying tank" in WW2 due to its ruggedness/dependibility on taking bullets and still flying.

Except its practically useless when a tank is around a hill, same for the B25H

so...fly around the hill and kill it from there.
-
I dont tank much, dont kow much of the tankers, bur IraqVet is fairly good in aiming and an attacking-type player unlike those who spend their entire day at 135... Maybe not the bestest, but one i respect. Dr7 and Belial are also on my list.
-
Actually fought? Because usually the "ace tankers" just roll up and 1-shot me before I have a chance to do anything.
As for an actual skirmish, it has to be the LTARs as a whole, though it was years ago. Back when the Tiger was still the absolute king of tanks. I was defending a town from behind a hill with a forest to about 10-11-o-clock at short range in my Tiger with JoeDog31 in the air dogfighting and giving intel. 5 LTARs started rolling in after me in Tigers and we fought for a good hour with them using all sorts of different tactics to try and get me (I think if they'd taken JoeDog down, I'd have had a much harder time)...I somehow managed to fend them all off and landed ~35 Tiger kills, 2 Panzer kills, and I think an M8 they snuck behind me after they stopped trying when one of them ran out of perks. Amazingly enough (and unbeknownst to me), another guy in a Tiger had stopped a full assault on the opposite side of the base, and landed 32 with me.
The best part was the discussion afterward...one of those rare moments where everyone had fun regardless, we congratulated and shared our sides of the fight and how things worked out instead of calling hax and whining like girls. Good days.
USAGirl was one.
You know, other than the fact that that was a guy. :D

i still remember that awesome fight

The best tanker I ever fought was Exxon Valdez - and I won too. Unfortunately they renamed the Condaleeza Rice before I could take her on.
Reefer madness.
-

"She" was a little before my two weeks so I can't verify. The rest I mentioned I have spoken with or met. Either way a legend.
BTW I sent a heads up to JD31 about your post. I know he misses the game and would have a laugh.

Put down the crack pipe and back away. :huh
The other thing is that tanking 2 years ago was far different than it is today. With the tanks being much more individualistic with regards to gun sights and zoom ability, an average Joe that knows how to work the German tank sights will win the show. The updated game is far different than than older versions of AH.
Campers are the lowest common denominator when it comes to "talent". Anyone can camp a spawn, get the enemy tanks zeroed in, and fire away. It does not take much talent to move the reticule up and down the height of a tank (near side or far side of spawn zone). Some of the same names mentioned in this very thread as being "the best" wont EVER been seen marching towards an enemy base in a tank, instead you'll find them camping a spawn or sitting "defensively" on concrete daring not to venture out and be engaged. That is not "talent", that is cheap, cowardly, and gut-less. The "name in lights" has captured the awe of too many and it is sad thing. I'd rather fight light Hell and barely lose than to win in a landslide (land 30+ camp kills, etc). But, some guys think they can put that on their resume' so let them have their shining moment because for many I'm sure it is all they can hang their hat on in life. To each his own.

Theres a time for camping-base defense or just enjoy it and a time for real gv'ing
probably the 2 best places to see how good you really are is at v28/v83 I believe...the one where you spawn on the mountain..it's hard to keep ground there both sides have their advantages.
And Ndisles? the one with the town in center and 3 vbases?
I personally stopped attacking vbases when 17'bers went in because I hate dying to man acks.

Only time Spawn camping should be allowed is when someone is attacking town - generally where I get most my whines about camping - however when my flag's white and you are spawning Lemmings in M3s - then its your own fault, however there is some cheesy players who camp with 20+ like at V135, I mean seriously a player can't even get time to see let alone zero in 1 tank before a dozen shots ring out.
I don't blame the rooks, flying CAP over 135 today I notice a share of knits being bomb****s while the fight was still going on. Sad part is some will in fact do whatever it takes to land 2 victories, while rest of us like me enjoyed a shoot out with a Panther at 3k (which I lost and I scream hacks) :D
-
:furious +10 for DR7 & yes I hate him!! :D It's muzzle envy I'm sure.... :bolt:
-
I find it humorous when someone complains about being camped.
Avoiding being camped is easier than avoiding being HOed. It is simple, when you first up, jump into your pintle gun and take a quick looking around. Killing your engine may help. If you immediately see numerous rounds coming at you, then it is a fair assumption that the spawn is camped. :D
To solve this problem, don't up again, go find another fight.

I have never fought any of the Knight tankers yet, but Belial, Poolfool, and Rondor have popped my turret so many times....LOL.
One thing I have learned from them....and practice every sortie.......If ya stick your peaker out to take
a shot......put it in reverse and get your tank behind cover while it is reloading. You will live much longer.
I usually tank in the T-34/85.....and it takes forever to reload...... I have yelled at those Russians back there to hurry up........
so I usually have my engine running.....which makes allot of tankers mad. But, what are ya gonna do?

So true! But I still love the T-35/85, for whatever reason, I kill far more tanks, fighters & bombers in it. Especially cocky IL-2's :joystick: :old:
:salute
-
I'd have to say Dr7. The others seem to have a solid grasp of tactics, or have good aim, but rarely both.
When we meet eachother on even terms, its usually an exchange of kills at a ratio of 4:5 in favor of Dr7, which only stops when the fight stops.

I'm actually glad I didn't wind up on anyone's list :banana:
