If a Flux grenade will set off my remote explosive, will the Flux damage be applied to the tank before my Explosive damage?
Only in FW and PC
If you plant remotes on something then flux it, pretty sure the RE damage is applied against the shields, then the flux wipes out the remaining shield.
In PC/FW you can flux a turret and blow it up with two REs (planted after the flux), but if you plant the two REs then flux, the turret still stands.
You could theoretically plant REs on a shield tank then throw your fluxes so that the REs are outside the flux radius, and it'd probably work. |

I think the problem with traditional AV now (swarms/forge) is that it's too slow and weak, allowing the speedy tanks to roll off before you can kill them. Not to mention switching to these puts you at an anti-infantry disadvantage, allowing the tank to recall his vehicle and move in on foot against a weaker enemy.
The only reliable way to solo kill tanks are to either plant REs on their backs or spam AV grenades (preferably both). |

Swarms are pretty useless offensively unless you chase down the tank in a LAV, or have two to three swarmers firing in sequence at a tank who got too close. Their lock on distance is now so low that tanks will roll out of your range and laugh at you from afar as their infantry mow you down.
Multiple guys with AV grenades, or soloing with REs, are the best ways to take down tanks. Luckily these methods have the least detrimental effect over your anti-infantry effectiveness.
Edited to add: You don't need proto REs. Level 1 is fine. Plant three REs, throw three EX-11 AVs, then detonate. I took out a Maddy this way even after he activated hardeners/reppers or whatever it is that makes them glow. |

Nope. The only way for an enemy to get them off would either be to shoot them (risky) or call a new tank and recall the old one. Not sure what happens to them if the vehicle is recalled. Maybe they float?
Naturally, if you deploy the REs elsewhere, they will disappear. |
