I was wondering why a tank has 2 hit an infantry (exept flak tracks) soo many tyms befor an infantry dies (i know d tank is having a hard tym, but i'm sure the tank can hit sum1 very close & dosen't move around). Can any1 ans dir 4 me? :S

learn to spell properly

and it's called balancing, its the way C&C games have always been, to make infantry more useful, and u're supposed to use certain units to counter certain attacks

[TangyTom]

If you need a vaguely logical answer, its coz the tank commanders are crap shots. They can only hit big things, like other tanks.

[MORPHLING]

How about i try it on you? Maybe you'll know the answer.
:lol:

Excusez-moi?? :rockbrow:

a tank have slow turning speed, slow ROF (think Sabot projectiles), and limited vision.
You would just have to crawl behind a bush to not be seen by one.
And when fighting infantry, the commander couldnt turn out either,
because as soon he did he would get a dozen airholes in the head.
And BTW, Sabot (AT) projectiles are not hi-explosive, they simply rip through
the tank, taking anything inside with it.
ofcourse most tanks have machineguns for AP purpouses, but i have yet
to see that in a C&C game.

[TangyTom]

Well you can give tanks primary (AT) and secondary (AP) weapons if you want.

[TGMTE]

yes, but noone does because it would ruin the balance.

[Godwin]

precisely, in RTSs, shots dont normally miss and all units of the same type are considered identical, if not, there'll be an element of luck, which isnt supposed to be part of 'strategy'

[chewymeat]

If tanks were given secondary anti-infantry weapons their price would have to be put up to about 10,000 a tank to justify the use of infantry and sustain a type of balance.........just a thought :tard:
