Poll
tank sights?
| Usmc M1a2 | 45% | 45% - 40 | ||||
| Mec T-90 | 24% | 24% - 21 | ||||
| Pla | 29% | 29% - 26 | ||||
| Total: 87 | ||||||
PLA, gives me a better idea of drop and where the MG will hit.
1) Type 98
2) T-90
3) M1A2
2) T-90
3) M1A2
the T-90 sucks balls the PLA one is not bad and the Abrams is the best because of the setup of the horizontal lines to help aim shots and the circle with the dot is best for aiming the mg
T-90 or M1A2. I just don't like about Type 98.
I like the M1 as far as sights go. But in my opinion, it's got the weakest armor. Have you guys noticed that? Or is it just me?
it's just you all the tanks and apcs in the game have the same armor....if it were real then teh m1a2 would have the best everythingSquidward wrote:

Really? I must be terrible then. So where is the best place to aim when going head to head against another tank? Is it better to aim for the tracks? Or the turret?
tracks that is where almost every good tanker aims for that and the rearSquidward wrote:

That's what I've always thought and done. But then I watched the video trailer to Armored Fury and it shows to Anti-Tank guys aiming for the turret. Thought maybe there was something I didn't know.
Thanks for the info.

I'm not a fan of the M1A1; it's sight are too bunched and it takes damage on large bumps.
I like the T-90; open sights, moves quickly, and doesn't take damage from bumps.

what no Leopard II, come on... although out of the basic tanks, i do enjoy using the t-90 it feels like it has a lower profile, the A1 is great for aiming... the 98... well atleast its a tank
the one with the arrow going up, i can range my target better with it.
I like the T-90 because its gun sounds coolest and it looks the coolest I also think i kill tanks and APC's A LOT easier with it. That's just me
Type 98 FTW!!! It's sights just work best for me... although i seem to take less damage when i'm in an Abrams.... maybe i'm just hallucinating though....
Type 98, though has best sight the turrent is sometimes in the way.
Chinese also has best AA. Chinese FTW (Cause im Chinese too ).

IRL the T-90 would pwn the Abrams.bigp66 wrote:

the ones found in the USI mod
T-90, anyone notice it's almost exactly identical to the SVD sights?
the M1 sight is better for leading aircraft in flight but sucks because tanks are basically M4 Shermans when it comes to targetting. No laser rangefinders no computers no stab!!!
i've always wondered if the vehicles have weak points like real ones, I tend to aim for the tracks just because that's basic tank SOP, but it doesn't seem to make a difference
Actual weak points on tanks are much more complicated than BF2. There are no "100% sure kills" unless you are using something really heavy to hit it. To render a tank non-op you need to breach the turret or hull and incapacitate the crew. In BF2 tracks are the weakest part of the tank but outside the game losing a track rarely stops the tank from firing back and depending on the situation the crew may not bailout immediately upon the loss of a track.kr@cker wrote:

The attack goes as follows. Firing a kinetic round that basically kills with speed and density, the projectile hits the armor near a mile per second. The armor composites begin to dissipate the energy laterally as it smashes through layer upon layer. Not enough layers? Penetration occurs so crew and vital internal componebts are damaged. Next firing Chemical Energy (H.E.A.T. = High Explosive Anti-tank) rounds or AT missiles which uses chemical heat to burn a hole through armor. The HEAT round has a need to focus its jet stream and having spaced layers away from the inner compartments can defeat the HEAT before it ignites ammo or fries people. You often see the armor added to brackets on the outside of APCs and tanks, that is why.
Turret ring (the rotating base section of the turret that connects to hull) a hit can:
-Jam the turret or, KO the tank, cause internal spalling (fragments) to injure/kill crewmen and/or cause secondary explosions. By the way its hard to hit for various reasons.
Grill Doors (Tanks rear)
-Thinest armor on the hull facings causes mobility kill, fire and may force crew bailout
Tracks
-Mobility kill. Hitting tracks from the front rarely KOs a tank because nothing gets inside the fighting compartment. Hitting the tracks from the side thru the skirt armor can be KO but more likely mobility maybe minor repairs to major damage, and crew injury. Hitting just beneath the skirt through the tracks into the hull side armor can KO, crew injury.
Top of tank
-Weaker armor . KO can be more frequent, spalling here too
Bottom of Hull
-Weakest armor of the tank in some parts. KOs often, damage to electrical sysem, controls, crew etc
I probably left something out but there is most of it anyway...

I just wish their APC cannon shot a bit faster.
