So what do you think the best type of tank whore is? Is it the traditional Karkand spawn raper? or is it someone who goes after vehicles?

Personally i think that it should be someone who goes to flags and gives cover while the infantry cap it, and isn't hesitant to take on other tanks or vehicles.  I think that the Karkand spawn rapers are pussy's who should all burn in a flaming hole... but that's just me

btw, i'm the first one... that's why i only have a 3:1 K/D instead of a "true tank whore's" 5 or better

I really wish they could show stats of your kills in regards to what was armor and what was infantry.

I've established a reputation in my clan for being able to win against armor. Though I mostly play Karkand because my clan runs a 24/7 Karkand so my stats shouldn't be taken all that seriously. Though spawn camping with vehicles is not permitted in our server. lol so many noobs cry about that one when we kick them


clanmante on the other team: "hey banks, want to make a deal? I won't go after you and you dont go after me"

I get more satisfaction after taking out a tank.

Well, there is a big difference between someone who sits at a spawn point by himself simply to rack up kills and someone who uses armor to spawn rape (give defensive cover) while their teammates bring down a flag.

That is the right way to play (IMO)! Kill the armor first - so your Team's infantry can do what they do - kill the other Teams infantry - medic against a TANK - Uh TANK wins! Medic against AT-guy - Medic wins!

Also I don't understand it - and you see this a lot (mostly Karkand) when the UAV is overhead; a USMC Tank & APC in the W. Alley & a MEC Tank and APC in the E. Road next to the Hotel? And the 2 groups both just camp - they never fight each other - its retarded.

i personally enjoy spawnraping and i think its a great team tactic, through spawnraping i can kill opponents b4 they can hurt my team, and prevent them from stopping my teamates from caping flags....though i do often find it very satisfying to kill a tank with an APC.

Whats up genius-man, I've seen you at dogtags.

I personally hate any kind of armored vehicle at Karkand. IMO they ruined a potentially great infantry map by adding armor. There's just so much you can't do when explosive tank shells are lodged up your ass.

Anyway, the best kind of whore is the tank vs. tank whore. I take no pleasure from killing hordes of helpless infantry lodged in a narrow alleyway by the mere click of the left mouse button, and anyone that does should die.

I feel the same way as you and also only have a 3:1-ish K/D ratio. A good armor user will take out the other armor before attacking infantry, because that not only keeps you safe, but makes it easier on your teammates...

If the team armor does not engage enemy armor and instead bypasses them to spawn rape, I make it a point to ram him to oblivion with the closest jeep to even out the score.

Yea wtf is up with that sh1t?  Less kills and the risk of losing your tank? Well... Tank kids DO wear "helmets" so... go figure...

like i said earlier in the thred, you SHOULD take out their armor first, then go blow up mindless infantry or cap a flag

I figure if I can get to them first, I'll beat them when i'm in a tank. 95% of the time this works.

As long as you know where their tank is, and can look on your minimap to see if anyone is in the TOW that's near you, you should be fine.

in terms of what I keep a look out for first: Tank > TOW > Spec Ops > AT guys

Yup,I really miss the awesomely skilled tank-drivers of BF1942,guys who always take engineer and could totally dominate a spawn point.When such guy in a Tiger rolled up in BF1942 you really got kinda scared like the Russians who encountered it in real life,ok,maybe not that scared,but you knew you were pretty much helpless.

Karkand spawn rapers are just pussies who look for easy kills,they are not the true tanker,easy to recognize on the missing wrench icon above the tank.Unfortunately these are mostly the guys with the highest k/d-ratio,because they are picking on helpless(medics,support,sniper)and sometimes even unaware enemies(spawnraping,the spawn-and-die effect).That's why the k/d-ratio doesn't mean sh*t,it doesn't tell anything about playing style or what extremely dumb noobs your victims were.

Real tankers are people who look for enemy tanks as their main target,have great experience in maneuvering the tank,use "Blitzkrieg"-tactics like the Wehrmacht(mobility!!!) to cut off important flags(Train Accident in Karkand for example,if the flag is taken at the start of the round by a quickly advancing tank and apc the MEC have a big problem!) and take and hold ground until the infantry takes the flag.

The perfect tanker should love Operation Smoke Screen or Songhua Stalemate and definitely team up with other engineers to repair each others tank,this way the repair points keep coming all the time and the tanks become virtually indestructable.
On Smoke Screen there are sometimes convoys of tanks and in every one is an engineer,an indestructable snake of steel which unstoppably comes your way.
Unless you are anti-tank,spec ops,engineer or in a tank yourself there's not much you can do to defend a flag against this force.

So basically I don't judge people by their stats,if I see them in action and they rock the house in a tank I'll definitely remember the player's name,but I'm not digging through someone's stats to find out who accumulated the most kills via spawnraping.

i think its a mixture of both taking out the tank and spawn raping karkand. i do both i see the tank spotted and there i go, i see the enemy tank in the uav and there i go. im not afraid of armor im going to win most of the time so bring it you noobs and im going to radomly give someone in this post a -1 karma for the hell of it.

getting behind the armour at the first flag on kark. isnt easy to do. It doesnt help when mec engies drop mines at the entrance not allowing you to go anywere. I try to protect troops going to hotel flag, then once we have it, the mec tank and apc are easier to destroy.

I guess I should die then, I take loads of pleasure tearing through row after row of infantry on Karkand in my LAV. That's why there's an Anti-Tank kit. To me, if you are trying to cap Hotel and you are driving around going from spawnpoint to spawnpoint killing everyone you see while avoiding being C4'd, you are doing your job in a LAV. Of course you should engage armor when you see it or it is spotted by someone else, that is another part of your job. But since you cannot cap certain flags (like hotel on Karkand) you should kill every motherfucker you see so there are less enemies to impede your infantry capping it. Am I going to sit there for 10 minutes spawn camping? Of course not, unless i want to be cheap and/or get C4 up my butt. But to drive by, see if anyone has just spawned, wait 5 secs, then move on, to me that is your job, and as an aside, I get a hell of a lot of joy from mowing down infantry.

One thing I hate is when armor is doing its job taking out enemy armor and infantry and NO ONE is capping flags. WE CAN'T DO EVERYTHING PEOPLE!! Seriously, like all the enemies are dead and no one rushes up to the flag. COME ON!!

Also, if you are an armor whore (and there is no shame in that,) SPAWN AS AN ENGINEER!!!! I swear to god I see Master Sargeants repeatedly taking the LAV or tank on Karkand and spawning as Medics or worse, Spec Ops. WHY??? What can I do, call him a noob? He's a Master Sargeant. If you constantly spawn as something else other than engineer and you armor whore, to me that is worse than armor whoring as an engineer and consistently dying because you suck. Us armors have to stick together and help out with repairs.

oh yeah, sup bro :)

and i agree with you about adding armor.  That would be an awesome map if they took that away, then it'd be easy to tell who the true infantry players are. rather than seeing who's a better spawn raper

yeah, i'll admit, i did spawn rape at Karkand once, but after that one time i lost the appeal of it... i mean, how is that fun? i'd rather run around filling people with my PKM lead than sit back and shoot random tank shells and kill people

that's a good strategy... mine looks more like:

i do that b/c that's the order of how often they kill me (highest to lowest if you couldn't figure it out)

Spawn raping eats up enemy tickets fast. If you kill 40 people, that's 40 tickets gone.

I tend to spawn rape and kill tanks that come near me. I usually win unless they bring 2 APCs with them. Fucking cheaters.
