Rapturous Rich Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 is the inclusion of tanks and choppers on the one map - Markaz Monolith I think? I was under the impression that in the aftermath of a natural disaster the teams' resources and reinforcements have been drastically downsized, the best vehicle you can get is a suped-up Humvee or Vodnik because everything else is in ruins, a crossbow has been moulded out of wrecked weapons and soldiers have had to reinforce their transport vehicles with what they can find. What are everyone else's thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedD365 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Maybe this map is closer to the bases or front line maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiate42 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Meh, doesn't bother me. Until I'm rolling in that piddly pathetically un-armoured van and round a corner straight into aforementioned tank. Me = splat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFkraut Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 WTF, man! That's the best map! :-P It could've used a Viper... lol, seriously, though, the Little Birds could be flown in and the tanks... well, there were tanks in the singleplayer missions that take place after the earthquake! Maybe IFVs would've been more fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I hate any map with a tank. My buddy Martin has more luck at destroying them than I do, so I generally end up playing ring around the rosy, trying to stay on whichever part of the map the tank is NOT.

BBDrew84 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What are everyone else's thoughts on this? I think if there was a major catastrophic event while there was some kind of war going on there would still be functioning equipment and vehicles. There are bases set up close to war zones and I would think they would do what ever is necessary to get instruments of war to the front line so they could win. It does not bother me, personally I don't like using vehicles on tight maps because taking them out is usually easy and some nice easy points. Also it is only on one map that these vehicles are in play so it is really not a big deal. well, there were tanks in the singleplayer missions that take place after the earthquake! Maybe IFVs would've been more fitting. Exactly, and they drove their tank right through a building! IFV's would have been more fitting, in my opinion, Monolith with a BTR would be tits!

Plus, if I recall, wheeled vehicles actually fair better than tracked ones in an environment like the the aftermath of an earthquake. Also, driving a tank through a building is just plain awesome.

Until the building collapses on top of the tank.. Eh Drew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapturous Rich Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Would've been cooler if DICE had implemented something akin to Armoured Kill's Gunship where you have to cap a flag to gain access to the armour (ie: hunker down until reinforcements arrive). Or like Wake Island's Airstrip which gives you access to jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBDrew84 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Until the building collapses on top of the tank.. Eh Drew? That is actually one of my top 10 BF3 memories and I almost did it again the other night... I love driving my Tank through stuff and into shit. It is a fucking Tank and it needs to be driven as such, with little to no regard for anything or anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fucking Tank and it needs to be driven as such, with little to no regard for anything or anyone. I have a book of WWII era German armored vehicles and there is actually an old propaganda photo in it of an early production model Tiger I driving right through a nice little French house. The writers noted that, even with the turret and cannon facing the rear of the tank, that this was actually a terrible idea that was very likely to damage the tank and would never be done in real combat. Of course, modern tanks would be far more durable and it still doesn't change the fact that it's just plain awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espressobean Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Nothing adds pucker factor like a tank rolling through and you are caught in the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
