Too many and overpowered Tanks

[Iccon]

A lot of times, if I, as a soldier, use Blasting Strike on a tank in close quarters, the driver will freak out and go ahead and bail even though he's relatively unharmed. Except the TnT that has yet to go off =p

[Magicalgin]

let planes drop bombs, that would fix the problem just 1 bomb per lets say 30 sec? Because planes are just useless at the moment.

Or...

Make it so you'll have to wait 10 sec before you're out of the vehicle

[M3rc3Num]

If your the commando you are well armed to take out a simple tank. Just cloak and use your timed TNT and the troop trap. It's so easy. This game has been well thought out. Instead of takeing things out or changing major things, I say we build the game up.

I like the some damage to the driver idea.

As far as too many Tanks, they are on two maps. In Sea Side I think this is an appropriate map for Tanks. Bucaneer Bay could get by with one per team instead of two and less jeeps.

The wait to bail option does not need to be based on damage, just make it take some time to get in or out and that would help. I say do the same for planes, it is rare to get a plane kill unless you hit them with a Tank or they happen to stay near the AA gun.

Tanks are easy to kill as the Gunner with an RPG. Yeah, it takes a little time, and you have to avoid being run over or shot yourself, but it's not too difficult.

It gets even easier if you have the Explosive Keg and Leg It abilities.

Yes, tanks are much harder to kill with just TNT.

[GrimWinnebago]

Also: I very much like the idea of giving planes bombs that do, say, 100 damage if they hit a vehicle directly, but only, say, 45 damage to a person.

1 tnt
1 NS = 1 dead tank

Indeed, that would really make a plane something that everyone can fly.... I can do things with planes that are just crazy but some people just want to fly and shoot a bit.... But even for me its hard to take down a tank in 1 go.... really hard... you can still use the "kamikaze" technique but that will or kill you aswell or you won 't get the kill..... So I think that there should be 2 sorts of planes: the one like it is now + 3 more seats, and a new plane that has 2 seats with bombs and a gun...

a thinking i do when they bail is put tnt on tank in front try not to get tank smashed then throe a genade spam u enither kill them if they bail or damage there tank

[PowerToMe]

Tank are great and not overpowerd, learn to use them, then learn to destroy them.

Play more, play better.

As of late I have noticed sometimes a Tank/ vs Tank nearly one hits. This may be random, it may be a mod or it may be a change in the game.

As far as Tanks vs Planes, I have killed a couple of planes when they dove right at me. (One said he thought the gun was pointed the other way). Unless the plane dips low it requires you to be parked on a hill. The AA gun is still a more likely kill.

I think limiting the tanks in BB to one per team would be a first step and then see how it goes from there.

Uh, then his tank is knocked over so its a duel between you and him. Whats the big deal?
Or if the tank isn't knocked over then get in it and make him one with your treads.

[Jagged-Fel]

i use a tactic called: run

[Kartoffelmos]

As commando you can TNT the tank when it's near a lot of buildings. Then you use elixir and hides behind a building till stealth goes up. After that, another TNT. Tank go BOOM

[Wolf-ErwinRumble]

You can also sneak directly behind the tank's cannon (wherever it may be) so the camera doesn't show you putting the TNT on. He won't see you until its too late.

[Dexploratio]

1 player vs 1 tank is still fair imo


2 tanks vs 1 player is an impossible match though ;-)

[Funk001]

bovine excrement, the only thing when you're messed up is when you're in a very wide open area without anything to hide behind.... If you have some skills you can take out a tank with a little strategy.

I do have to admit that it gets quite difficult to win a round with 3 or 4 tanks roaming through the map especially with pro's behind the wheel.... Aw well, there will always be good and bad games.

Anyway, commando's have stealth and elixir for the speed boost, tbh its more soldiers who get it worse with tanks, they can't run off quickly and only have tnt which is ofc short range, They can heal but it just prolongs the death unless your near cover.

Well, as you said commando have STEALTH. HE can survive forever and even make 1 dynamite amount of damage if he wants.

[Woutman]

We would be able to do that if it weren't for damage trailing. 1 lucky shot in the open and you're a goner, with or without stealth.

I enjoy my tank battles and hope they don't change a thing.

Actually, I disagree that tanks are overpowered. Sticky TNT means anyone can take out a tank. You just have to use strategy.

I was in a tank v. tank battle and realized the other guy was winning, so I jumped out and killed his tank with sticky TNT.

I do not want planes dropping bombs. Planes have been too powerful in previous Battlefield games, dropping bombs and nothing you could do about it.
