I can't explain my tactics in detail. But one thing you should do while you fight in a tank battle is LEAD YOUR TARGET. Not lead as in leadership, but follow the tank with your gun barrel pointed slightly in front of the target, depending on what speed said vehicle is moving at. That way, when you fire, the shell heads right at the tank when it moves into the shell's way. People always point at the tank and fire... NO! NEVER DO THAT UNLESS THE TANK IS STATIONARY. Someone will run circles around you and blow the living hell out of you if you don't lead your target. Many experienced players don't do this either... It's kinda sad, really, that they are so good at infantry battles but suck ass in a tank versus tank battle...

Yep, the guy is right, aiming in a tank is similar to aiming with a rocker launcher. You should always fire at the location/point where the target will likely reside the next couple of seconds, in other words, lead the target. This comes handy especially if you're using an MRLS, you must predict where the target will be located when your rockets reach it.

Me too, its what makes VM a good sniper in DF2. Because everyone moves, he has to calculate there location and speed. Takes him usually about 3 shots to get it right.

By that time, you are usually in the scope of someone else... And they won't need to take but one shot.

I have to agree with ACK, if it takes 3 shots for a sniper then its over for him. If I snipe on RTCW I find that quick scans of the areas with 1 (at most 2) quick shots do the best work. And after you have killed about 3 people, move to a new spot, they will come back and look for you at your old location.

Never did VM say or imply that he was in the beta.
VM also agrees with ACK. VM misstated something.

What VM meant to say was: The maximum amount of shots it takes VM to hit a moving target is three shots. VM apologizes for any misunderstandings. [ February 13, 2002: Message edited by: Visceroid_Man ] Oh and one other thing. VM is placing all these statements on the fact that he had a 56k, we'll see what the max is once he gets his cable (which he'll have before Ren is released).

and keep moving as well, exp. as mentioned in the second paragraph. The worse thing to do is just stand still while fighting. Oh, and the circling your opponet is a tatic I use alot. Oh, and I know this. For ever better chances aim for the ground infront of them, this way if you don't hit them you'll at least obtain splash damage

Interesting tactic, though is should be taken into consideration that when most people are in a tank, they stand still to shoot. therefore, the Lead Theory shouldnt be widely used. It's against the oldbies that you use this little tactic that anyone with a commonsense uses. HELLO! SHELLS ARE NOT GUIDED, YOU MORONS! [ February 15, 2002: Message edited by: firaga01 ]

Well paint me blue and call me stupid, but I fail to see the connection between the Renegade beta and DF2, which I assume is Delta Force 2.

 A sniper rifle is a sniper rifle. The environment which it is used is trivial. [ February 15, 2002: Message edited by: Visceroid_Man ]

Exactly, but why tell me this? My post was aimed at cade, who said you couldn't possibly have any idea how well you can snipe in DF2 because you're not in the Renegade beta.
