I need the help of you guys and girls on this forum.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I've finally decided to ask for your help.

I was playing on the Karkand map, driving a Humvee across the river from the market side to the "MEC" side. I always use the camera position that allows me to see the whole veichle and the car was full with my team members.

What then happen really surprised me. I was hit in the back of the car by a round from a tank. I then directly spawned at the suburbs just to find the same tank there, once again, killing me. At first I was surprised that he had managed to place himself at the suburbs so quickly. My first thought was that it wasn't possible but then I started to think about a bit. So my question to you guys and girls, have you ever done this yourselfs or seen anyone do it? Hit a moving car just at the dock at the cement factory and then get to the suburds in about 14 seconds? Or have you been standing just above the first climb above the trainwreck and taken out a veichle on the other side?

I'm just curious and I'm not saying that the guy who took me out was cheating, he might have been a really good player or an really lucky player.

What do you all think?

Honestly I think it is possible, If he shot you from behind as you were crossing the river then it is possible

he could have blown up a second after he killed you guys, then respawned at the suburbs and an abandonned tank was there waiting...

I've been thinking of taking a tank and a stopwatch and try do do it myself but I never seem to remember it when I'm playing. Driving the tank from the crossing up to the suburbs and parking at the spot where the car spawns.

Maybe I should try it in singleplayer but hey.. no fun playing that!

Maybe he shot you from the suburbs (or just up the hill from train wreck a bit). Height is there, might be be possible

ok, i went and tried this and i got in tank and stopped at cement factory, then timed it as i went to suburb and it takes atleast 30 secs to get there driving full on and taking the shortest route.
In an APC you can get there in about 15-25 secs, as long as you are moving at full speed when your at cement factory, a rolling start if you like.
ryan_14's idea is plausable though, but you both wouldn't be able to spawn at suburbs at same time if your on opposite teams unless one of their squad leaders was there and they spawned on them and then jumped into an abondoned tank.

I think that he got a lucky shot on you and then went to spawn camp at the suburb because he knew you would want that car again, and for the time part, It doesn't take that long to get from the crossing to the Suburbs, but it just might be me...
