y'all need to step up yr jihad jeep game, with a little bit of recon, good use of terrain, and some proper planning you can nail tanks even if they've seen you coming. I can get multiple tank kills per game (enemy deployment permitting) when I use my jihad jeeps.
but yea, it'd be cool if swarms + AV nades were actually useful still. Sure I can chase off a tank and get them out of my AO for a bit , but maps are big and the shortened range means unless someone else is there to catch them during their retreat, it's not a kill, and I get no WP, so jihad jeep it is for now. it's more challenging and fun than AV infantry anyway, whatevr.
also for my tanker alt, all I have to say is, railguns do work, missiles don't do enough alpha for the short firing burst & long reload, and blasters overheat too quickly, but are still mostly effective. Also, kids, don't be dumb, if it's a gunnlogi, shield tank that ****, if it's a madrugar, go armor. Also when I'm in a tank only thing that actually scares me is railgun-style hits, so rail tanks, forge guns, and rail installations. anything else, I just go hardeners and then look around. I sat in front of an AV with swarms+nades and waited for him to run out of ammo then nailed him with my railgun once. |

for devil's advocate's sake, it's relatively easy, or at least feasible to take out a 60-70k MLT tank fit with wykromi swarms (assuming you plan it right, get off all yr AV nades and at least 2-3 swarms, which I know I can do in my std. AV fit). on the other hand, my 329k gunnlogi or 297k madrugar fits? probably a little more durable, and they should be
EDIT: also yea, there are some glitches with jihad jeeps stuttering, it seems to be something to do with the equipment (RE's) moving so fast, since i never encounter it normally driving. But I've never had my jeeps randomly explode, even when colliding with structures, or getting shot from the front sometimes (PROTIP: I also keep my RE's on the front wheel arches, so the side, not the front) |
