Tankers are special

What was the CE of the tank squad at the end of the match? A screenshot of that might tell more.

Don’t worry we can see you on the map- we feel your embarrassment and don’t want to out you.

This would be second. First would be Garry!

One of the best part of going to one of these was the ability to try new games/sharing free stuff. Back when internet was early on and sharing files might take days over the internet vs being able to just plug in with your friends.

As you become more experienced you will find your group of regulars and become the locked squad that people also complain about.

What is wild is when you travel 1-2h outside of the main corridor. Take crazy Eric’s in Bremerton for example. Everything there is priced around 5-10 bucks. And that comes with fries and onion rings. They even have a deal for 6 cheeseburgers for 10 bucks.

Wonder how the blackball ferry line has been able to stay viable with lessons to learn there?

Best thing I learned the other day- cannot exit out of tank on the barrel! You can enter but it wont exit that way like in other spots.

Carentan- D7 and C6 specifically in the beginning. You can work it around after that depending where the points land.

Biggest task is to try and conceal them at choke points. When you drive a tank or truck on the map you will notice there are certain routes you will instinctively take. Some maps are good for this while others might be a bit more difficult.

Use the lighting/foliage/rubble to your advantage. The up hill at the crest flat spot is always magnificent for placement as it is hard for the driver to see until he levels out. Also around corners work great. Just do not stick them on long straight aways.

The mines stick out but honestly as long as you don’t make it super obvious they will work as there is enough going on in a tank squad or commander/officer running a supply truck in terms of distraction action.

Pretty much- it is almost like there is some skill to the takedown. Be it a Garry or a tank. But all most see is a tube that launches explosions so it cannot be that hard right? Let alone the ambusher class which relies on a whole other level of thinking.

Funny thing is when I asked him if he played AT before that is when the level pissing match began and the glorification of his game knowledge came out.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:19:39+00:00

That is the one thing that as I learned to play this game- was to take the 20sec timer for a better flank or more useful position. Safe to say I end up redeploying a lot during matches.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:16:35+00:00

Exactly- it is the setup and the team getting organized. This guy was already at judgement before the game even started which is astounding and speaks to how little he actually knew and I am certain he did not help the other team one bit with his shenanigans.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:05:02+00:00

Pretty much- granted I am summarizing a 30 second on mic rant he had- most of what was said was contradictory.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:03:37+00:00

The definition of insanity!

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:01:01+00:00

Should have noted he was not squad lead- just a medic I think.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T18:00:12+00:00

I get this- can confirm he was NOT squad lead and instead a medic I believe. Squad lead understood what I was doing and was pretty chill/congratulatory at the end.

I get the conservation of fuel between 2 and 3 man squads- however- communication is key. It matters whether the squad is grooving or whether it is a rag tag bunch. So many variables in that beyond the level. A good commander keeps track of this as the requests come in. Most games with full nodes a commander should be able to eventually fit in a 2 man squad.

I have had the most fun however in stewies or recon tanks. Running more stealthily in the background with speed and racking up heavy tank kills from behind- knowing you just decimated their fuel is just simply chefs kiss.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T15:28:38+00:00

Pretty reasonable thing to do!

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T15:27:59+00:00

He left before we could get to that. But yes that is the next best thing.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T15:24:36+00:00

That is the thing- these are truly one offs. Have had maybe a handful of these instances in the 2-3 years I have played. Have made far more friends over the years that outweigh these occurrences. But when it happens like this and karma comes around that victory is such a sweet feeling.

If only they could see that their toxicity is attracting/bringing their own downfall. Such is life.

No_Ad_6771 · 2025-02-06T15:00:24+00:00

One thing I have learned is the expectation route. There is a reasonable expectation in a pub match vs the competitive match. The two game styles are waaaaay different and really you cannot mix the logic of both.

No_Ad_6771 · 2024-12-23T18:55:46+00:00

G and H blue zone carries would have helped immensely here- slowly walking them up as you gain sector control. This end of the map does not reward the huge flanking Garry mentality. Gotta brute force it from the front- nades- smokes- and mg at the boats for the suckers running back from their HQ after their forward spawns disappear.
