The tank most likely had reactive armour on then. I always just place as much as possible just to be sure with the extra explosive damage perk! :p :D

IMO what would be best for tanks (completely stock) are as follows:

- 3 JAV to rear and sides to disable it, 4 to destroy
4 JAV to front to disable it, 5 to destroy

And one more rocket required for the RPG/smaw.

- 2 C4 on the rear/sides to completely destroy, 1 to disable
3 on the front to completely destroy, 2 to disable

- 2 mines to completely destroy and 1 mine to disable


DG will most likely disagree and say that only one rocket, 1 c4 etc. should completely destroy a tank and that an entire mag from the usas with frag rounds should destroy a tank! :p

This tbh!
 
Can't say I'm enjoying this patch. They have tweaked the turn speed so any old noob can fly, essentially taking all the skill out of it. I hate the new sound and damage effects and choppers are almost indestructible again.

No. Just no.

If that were the case, then you would have to get rid of the repair tool entirely, else engineers will make a tank completely invincible. An engineer only gets (iirc) 3 Javelins as standard - that would propose taking away their ability to destroy a tank without the explosives perk. One hit disable, two destroy - tanks can evade lock with smoke, evade lock by moving and get repairs......

5 JAV to destroy a tank... Are you mad?!?

How many do they take irl ?

To the front that is. Don't forget the armour is tougher on the front, this was the case for BC 2 as well.

It might not be realistic as it only takes 1 jav to take out a tank, 1-3 bullets to kill a person (in the chest) in real life. If this game was realistic, the aircraft would simply be owing the ground even more than they do, nothing would stop a jet.

But the game is suppose to be fun and semi-realistic and balanced.

Tanks with that damage that I stated would be powerful and feared again (which they are supposed to be) and at the same time not made out of glass or invincible :p

Ok, well then 3 hits to destroy at the back with jav then (or ideally IMO, give 4 rockets as standard)

The repair tool would just need to be adjusted so it can't repair a certain amount in a given time.

I don't think one hit should be to disable though, as generally as soon as you get out to repair, you will be killed by the person using it or someone near by (always happens with me).

Yes smoke is now essential, but the problem is again, you got a refresh time on it and so it only takes 2 people with jav's to take a tank out in its current state and plus means that you can't use any other unlocks now due to the changes :(

Why couldn't they just use the BC 2 vehicle damage system :confused: :( It was perfect!

EDIT:

Had a quick match there again and DAMN! Revive, revive, revive, revive, ammo, ammo, med pack, med pack and groups of 4 or 5 people sticking together! :D Can't believe the amount of team work in softcore mode! :)
