Its hard enough to sneak up on a tank, do i really need to scream “Throwing Dynamite!!!” from the top of my lungs doing that?  
And why do Vehicled still have 3rd person view? doesnt it defeat the only disadvantage of a tank/plane.  
btw a lot of tankdrivers use maphacks to prevent players sneaking up on them, which is pretty annoying.

I think those maphackers, might just be in their friendly spawn zone…

And that hasn’t stopped countless idiot tank drivers I’ve had to gun for these past few days from getting themselves killed. Is there a lemming challenge for tank drivers atm or something?

and? people use these… so every enemy appears on the map and minimap as if they were spottet the entire game. i dont know whats so funny about that. did you ever sneak up on a lonely tank from behind? and when you get closer the driver hastily turns the tower 180° and starts looking for you? i know when i make sounds and i know when enemies cant hear me.

Oh, I thought you meant they were out of bounds, so you couldn’t reach them. Oops.

Even so, that’s probably just them seeing you in third person.

When you get good in tanks, you can almost feel when your vulnerable to sneak attacks due to the layout of enemy activity, your location etc, you start sweeping the area in 3rd person.

no harm, there are far far far less people using hacks and exploits than you think. sounds a little like someone got killed a bit, and is quick to cry foul rather than be a little bit self-aware and think about what they did wrong.

Tankers have a third person, it’s called the commander. Personally I’d be in favour of a less exploitable third person view, but if you really care about that play hardcore when it comes out.

Use commo rose right before and yell “SANITÄTER”!!! or request some ammo.  
You will still make some noise but it’s better that than “Throwing Dynamite/Placing AT-mine!!!”. If you are lucky the tank driver can’t connect the dots until it’s too late 😃

Maphack really a thing? If so it would explain a lot…

I’ve never heard any players comments while in a tank,. Geez, like having three rockets, two dynamite and a grenade isn’t enough…especially when they run in packs, like wolves.

Light tanks have a spotting scope in the upgrade tree, so yeah it does spot everyone in their view

The constant screaming was already in BF 3 and following. You were flanking and sneaking behind enemy line ( unlike BF V these were the Battlefield games with big and interesting maps where that made sense )  
and when your Squadmember asks for ammo, you get it out and…scream like a drunken Baboon although he is 1 m away from you…

My guess is that only you can hear your side, but the enemy can’t. At least in my experience.
