Not sure if I’m the only one who gets annoyed by this, but people who ride on your light tank or artillery truck are quite honestly one of the most annoying things in the game.
Impairs much of my 3rd person aiming and if they’re in front they can straight up block your shots.
Dice. Remove it…
No! It’s one of the funniest things when people are disco dancing on top of my tank. Makes the long drive from F flag more entertaining…
I don’t mind if they hitch a ride to a flag and get off, its the annoying children who ride on your tank the entire match.
Just had some dude get back onto my tank 5 times… Literally gets killed 5 times, and just runs back to get back on.
Dice remove 3rd person view! This will solve all @WoooHaH problems!
The teammates that stand in front of the anti air cannons and try to kill you are worse.
No. How else do you expect me to mount up my lmg on top of a heavy tank if I cant stand on it?
Somebody is pissed people are sitting on their mortar truck lol
Anyone is welcome to ride on mine.
You do realize they did this in every single war/battle/lulride in history right? Go ride on top of a tank. Good times to be had by all.
I’m going to have to try this now.
It’s fun and feels B.A. when it’s working. I like to mount up on the top part where the commander would be sitting. It’s the perfect height to crouch behind.
I love it when there are a bunch of infantry on and around my tank. Very often they will “catch” a tank/field gun round for me. A tank round hitting a person riding on your tank will take all of the damage except for the small amount of splash damage. They are like squishy armor plating for your tank.
Also, it’s awesome when supports ride with wrenches equipped.
Had a guy do this last night. I took him to the end of the map in an arty truck and bailed once it went out of bounds. After he died I t bagged him of course. Then he followed me around the entire match banging on my helmet. Good times, I recorded it too.
um… well, yes and no. I have a super rare skin for my light tank (I’ve never seen another on the BF), and I don’t really mind the kiddos dancing on top of it and humping it. they get killed pretty quickly.
But anyone who thinks this is okay with the AA truck has never driven an AA truck. All it takes is one stupid griefer kid laying up there, and you cannot see to shoot planes down. Not good for the player, not good for the trucker, not good for the team.
So I’m okay with it for all the other vehicles, but the artillery truck should have some electrified razor wire on top or something.
I would also like to add that my only defense against a tank as a scout is to jump on top of it and vigorously hump it into submission. You can’t remove that tactic from the game.
I usually get that one troll who likes to jump on my MAA impairing my ability to take out an enemy airship. So I drive close to the airship gunner seats so they have a clear shot on my useless teammate.
I actually stole 2 tanks in two games in a row by climbing over enemy tanks with a wrench. The driver couldn’t get me off so he got out to kill me and I stole his tank. I do get annoyed though when I’m in the MAA and some sniper will want to snipe over my truck blocking my view
