Colsta Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Most important thing to teach people is don't fire without explicit orders... and don't clear the whole AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentes Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Problem is, often if a tank crew holds fire, or waits for explicit permission, whatever they're seeing might start shooting at them. It's far less cut-and-dried than an aerial vehicle which can bug out fairly quickly if it sees a threat to itself. If you have armor in the field, expect to use it extensively, or expect to lose it quickly. Incidentally, this is also why I dislike using it outside of specifically tailored missions.

Ryko Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 People need to keep in mind that Gauntlet has changed in design since the old mindset of "if Hammer walks into the AO, it will end up clearing it, leaving no fun for infantry". Ambient AI is now a key component of the mission (if you run Gauntlet without Ambient AI, the old adages remain true). If you leave base with tanks or gunships, expect additional enemies to spawn that are equipped to deal with tanks or gunships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminHL Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 The purpose of this training is mostly for the gamenight but will of course apply to tanking in guantlet. The problem I see with hammer is there just usually isn't a proper command structure or component tank commander that can make the right calls. Hopefully this training can address some of these.

Blue-958- Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Been enjoying playing Hammer when I can, its true what Ryko says, a lot of people feel invincible in a tank whereas it only takes one well placed shot from an AT soldier or BMP to bring you down. I'll definitely check this out if I'm around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminHL Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Oh sorry forgot. Can someone unban @Minipily for just Wednesday the first? Also on a side note anyone that feels that they are sufficiently good in a tank and would like to help teach this training session please pm me.

Doubt that is going to happen, me and staff aren't really on the best terms most the time if I'm honest. If you want someone that has the knowledge I have, Jochem can come along and teach, he's my gunner first and last and he'll teach ya'll what I know.

BenjaminHL Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Although not a ton of people have replied saying they will be coming there is usually a solid player base on Wednesdays and I will assume most will want to participate and learn a little. To put it simply this training is on schedule. -Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also how to efficiently use a language everyone can understand (new or skilled) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
