Has anyone else been noticing a lot of 1 shot kills to tanks and the like since 1.2? I might be wrong, but 1 AT rocket shouldn't be enough to blow up a tank at full health, regardless of where it hits, right?

I've been rolling through Karkand and Sharqi and have had someone jump and blow me up with one round. Technically even a TOW shouldn't blow you up in one hit but I've been seeing a lot of that as well.

you cant jump and shoot with a rocket but yes it is possible to take a tank out with 1 shot depending on where you hit it theres weak spots which i have come across a few times

I had the same thing happen both with AT and arty when I was at full armor. Quite strange, I at least I thought so.

You can kill the driver out of a tank with out destroying the tank

What I think they should do in the next patch is make it an instant kill, but only if it hits in the C-Ring, which is the small space between the turret and the body. I suppose that wouldn't be fair because the rockets are guided in the PC version. The XBox version does what I just described.

Shoot the viewing port right underneth the main barrel but you got to be dead on.

One shot hits are possible, but they were previously rare. I have noticed a significant increase in these types of hits though(I got two in one round against another tank, I think they were one shot kills because the tank was coming from where there was no fighting so it should have been at full health) This probably has to do with the modification they made for the terrain causing damage to tanks. I imagine they had to mess with the hitbox on the tanks in order to do this. It's not that bad actually. One hit kills are still fairly rare from what I've seen.

Tank vs Tank I can see a one shot kill happening. AT vs Tank thats just not right.

If you're usually in Armor, most of the time your getting pelted with AT's right and left, specially if you've been doing your job, pissing everyone off (while your team is capturing the flag of course).. LOL.

Most Armor spawn points are miles away from major action and it takes time to avoid jets/helos, just to get 1/4 the way across a map to help your teammates. (Except Manshur)

It would suck to have to avoid the Ol' One-Shot-Kill from every AT toting Joe out there. My vote, keep it vehicle vs vehicle on any One-Shot-Kill situation. That would keep this game in an even range of power.

There is a weak spot at the base of the turret in the back, that gives a one-shot with even the kit rocket launcher. Maybe they just made it bigger?

What you probably saw was him popping up from prone or crough and then going prone behind cover again after firing.

one hits with the TOW are mad easy, i always get one hits with the TOW and tank v tank is easy too. but i dont think there's a one hit with AT v tank, i could be wrong though, but i know there's a spot with AT you can get like 50%-75% health down from the tank...
