Tank v APC ~ How to win!

[Ranger]

When you are in a close range face off between your APC and a tank you usually expect the tank to win (unless heavily damaged)...

However, here's a sneaky little tactic I discovered last night that might help you out.

First off - you need to be an Engineer or Special Forces, and what you do is this...

When you see the tank coming towards you blow smoke and start to back away so the smoke is the between you and the tank...

Nothing unusual there ~ and the tank (thinking he has the better of you) will usually come straight at you THROUGH the smoke...BUT...

What you have to do is to jump OUT your APC and RUN forward INTO the smoke and you wait for him (he will suspect that you will be reversing with all speed in your APC to get away!)...

So as he passes through the smoke - you lay your mines in front of him (Engineer) or throw your C4 onto the side of the tank as it passes (SpecOps)!!!

Because of the smoke he has no idea you are there!

 :devil:

I did this to OldBloke (or was it Armitage) last night and it worked a treat.

Obviously we all now know this trick - but it's worth trying out on ranked servers where tankies are so greedy for the 'kill' that they will rush into smoke after you without a second thought!

Give it a try - good luck!
