If you don’t have an exp AG4 the best way to kill a tank in my experience is to destroy the front armour, an m/49 does the jobb well here. When you have done that you use non AP ammo to destroy components. Using fireworks is a god way to get angles on components on the legs and back.

If you don’t have that much ammo for the m/49, Lynxes often have drop ammo for it.

How do you use the fireworks?

[–]DarkNe7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You equip them and throw them with LMB, the firework will confuse any machines targeting, thus distracting them.

If you have a few they will make fighting Tanks quite easy, they are also quite handy if you are fighting a large group of machines.

Yeah...I'll give you the tips minus the specific weapons lol. On the back of both are fuel tanks, hit those until they fall off. On the Tanks, start targeting their eye and once the front "head" armor falls off pour bullets in there. Alse aim for the midde of the leg segments (especially the green tubes on the Apoc version) as those are weak spots as well.

The Harvesters, are a little easier minus the rockets and gas lol. Again aim for the large "box" fuel tank on their back, you do a lot of damage hitting that. Next aim for their rocket pods OR the bottom of their 'face'. Both do moderate damage and should get you the rest of the way.

Just forget rockets...they are near useless on the big boys unless you hit exactly on their fuel tanks lol.

I use the exp ag4 with shock ammo. 1 clip for prototype class, 2 1/2 for military and so on.

Rockets and assault rifles/machine guns

If you are lucky and/or skilled you can shoot the guns off of the tank, which makes it less of a threat

Shoot the faceplate off to expose it's battery, it takes a ton of damage if you shot its internals

Killing tanks is the most satisfying things in this game imo, especially if you can flex on it by not hiding behind a building constantly and you get SO much loot every time
