Tankstorming!

[Dumbfinger]

Was brainstorming loadouts and strategies for a 3 man TANK crew. This is what came out...Whatca think? Gonna be trying this soon.





1 Support as the Driver with FLAK spec
2 Engineers with JAVs and EXPLOSIVE and SPRINT specs as the Gunner and the CITV / 3rd seat

Driver vehicle specs: SMOKE / GUIDED MISSILE / REACTIVE ARMOR
Gunner vehicle specs: THERMAL CAMO / THERMAL OPTICS / CANNISTER SHELL or favorite infantry weapon
CITV or 3rd Seat vehicle specs: PROXIMITY SCAN (MAINTENANCE)/ THERMAL OPTICS / CANNISTER SHELL or favorite infantry weapon



RESPONSIBILITIES:


DRIVER: GOES DOWN WITH THE SHIP! No abandoning vehicles for the enemy to have. Gives ammo to engineers if needed.

GUNNER: Tank security! always checking rear and sides...looking opposite from the main cannon. TIP: dont' watch tank vs tank battles till near the end when players bail or repair....instead look for players flanking while the tanks main cannon is distracted, that is when the enemy normally attacks

Also he is there to Jav at lazed targets if the surrounding area is clear and if the tanks main cannon can not reach the target due to it's low firing angle

He is there to cover the repairing crew member(CITV/ 3rd seat), also is 2nd in line to offer repairs if CITV is busy in battle with air targets or is absent scouting or dead.

CITV / 3rd Seat: LAZOR UP SHIT! 1st to repair as needed and 1st to jump out and scout if needed in CQ around points to clear buildings, brush, and whatnot. Brings PROXIMITY SCAN first then MAINTENANCE after death. Because once you get PROX SCAN in the tank it sticks even when the player dies.




LONGE/MID RANGE TACTICS:

Use standerd postions.
3rd seat looks to get lazers and calls when locked. Driver locks on with guided missles and uses main cannon too.
Gunner keeps eyes on the ground for infanty and tanks. SPOTS and calls everything!
3rd seat repairs as needed.


OPTIONAL CLOSE RANGE TACTIC:

CITV can hop out and scout around... Driver swaps to CITV/ 3rd seat and then Gunner to Driver seat and then the original Driver goes to Gunner seat.
Now the Driver uses his thermal optics and favorite infantry weapon and gives 2nd repairs if the CITV/Scout is absent or dead.
Gunner(former driver): Gives Tank security!
