The somewhat new trend has been to have convoys of armored vehicles with engineers at the wheel travel around maps capping flags. I think it is very clever and works well. The problem I have is that as a commander your artillery is useless against armored vehicles. I have dropped a multitude of artillery on armor and they bounce off or hit in proximity and the vehicle isnt even smoking. It is bullshit. You know what happens to an armored vehicle when a supersonic 120+mm round hits it directly? It takes massive damage. I think this needs to be addressed because short of having a smart squad that uses c4 or mines there is no stopping an armored convoy and I dont like it.
artillery kills me a lot in armour guess im unlucky.did have it happen to me four times iar.generally its not worthwhile to bomb armour unless its a distraction.arty shouldnt be death to all in the area.its ok as is.

if it hits the armor directly, it will blow it to hell. but when it lands around it, it doesnt do much. sometimes it makes the armor get knocked a few feet to the side, but still barely any damage... gotta love capping in armor!
A direct hit is an instant-kill. One on the side doesnt do much because of the tanks strong armour.
They still don't hold up well against: Cannon-fire followed by a laser guided missle sugar coated with 5 bombs. Everything in this game has a balance, there's always something bigger in the food chain.

Armor is easily trumped by aircraft, mines, or C4 ninjas.

Everything in the game has a weakness. TOW? Armor. Artillery? C4. Mines? Engineer. Claymore? ............ shit.

Commanders should be able to drop Apricots on enemy tanks, would solve the problem.
I am an armor whore so here's what you need to take out armor:
1) Plane (armor completely helpless)
2) Attack Chopper
3) Organized Resistance (anti-tank) not much you can do here if there's 2 or 3 hidden AT troops attacking from multiple directions
4) Gung-Ho Spec Ops
mines aren't of much use anymore cause you can't jump throw then on tanks anymore and they are too easy to spot on the ground.

1. Yes, claymore seems to have no weakness. . . . . ...InviSniper wrote:

2. a TOW blows up a tank in 1 shot immediately, or it does around 95% damage to an APC causing it to explode a secndond later. Wheres the problem? You just have to know how to use it, then it will 0wn every armor whore.

ROFL, last night I created a squad on a Wake Island server, we were PLA, and the whole squad (4 total) were engineers. We landmined the living hell out of the airfield, assembled all of the tanks that could possibly spawn on the island, (3) and we ended up owning the USMC like 174-0 or something (out of 200) it was so freakin funny. Whenever we started to roll into an enemy base, all of the enemy grunts started to scatter like ants do when you stomp on an ant hill. good times

Yeh I must admit i've had trouble with the tanks out in an F35 on wake using that tactic, I'd drop a bomb turn around bomb it again but it's fucking repaired again. Had to go switch back into double bomb mode and just do vertical dives to take them out whilst splashing them with cannon fire. Good tactic and I'm sure it's pretty foolproof until you get a jihad jeep come your way
This is something i cant understand..why you cant jump throw AT-mines on tanx anymore..imo it was a legit way to destroy them... iam a tankwhore as well as a pioneer and and now i miss something in tactical variety...noone ever complained about this..so why...EA GIVE BACK VANILLA...superfly_cox wrote:
