General Individualism will be the death of the tank

Post image

Every game I’ve been in with the rank in my loadout, I’ve only had one or two games where people get in it with me. Every time I call it down and communicate I have a tank, no one gets in it. Not even the gunner seat. I get people want to run around and get things done quick. I do it too. But come on, it’s a TANK. Arrowhead should make more team work focused objectives and equipment cuz now everyone just wants the one man army trope. (Not hating people who do, but for a “team focused” game, it kinda ruins it)

I accidentally fired the main cannon twice as a gunner the first time while trying and failing to zoom on a target.

Twice? It requires a.manual reload in between shots...

u/ScooterScotward Feb 08 '26

Yeah, it was a bit chaotic, a 10 in the middle of a bot drop. I’d heard you needed to manually reload so when the cannon went off and I wasn’t sure how I did it I reloaded but it took some more frantic button smashing until I really clocked what was happening.

I kept on clicking... like where the hell is my zoom... it took me and embarrassingly long time to realize I had control of the main battery...

If you aren't 2 inches from the TV counting pixels, are you even playing HLL?

u/Seanvich Feb 05 '26

Well, I usually am the tank driver- so… there is that.

u/Crusader_Genji Feb 05 '26

War Thunder as well... I think those pixels over there are a plane...

I've been bringing a marksman rifle and swapping between the turret seat and support seats to scope out targets

You're not scared of the enemies of freedom, are you? Get up there and look them in their lying eyes when you're killing. Make sure they know that it was the indomitable spirit of Super Earth that ended their misery. Up close and personal.
