Tanks & Infantry Suggestions
 
-Suggestions for Tankers
1) Try to get some friendly infantry to advance either with you (as the tanker) or ahead of you.
2) When advancing on a flag where there is little or no threat of enemy armor slow down and let the infantry use you as mobile cover.
3) Pick up infantry when they ask for it, but let them hop on the back instead of riding on the sides cause there they just get sniped.
4) If you've got the slot for an internal front gunner get one, and try to keep the front of your tank pointed towards enemy positions. (you should be doing that already :nodding: )

-Suggestions for Infantry
1) Communicate with Tankers, especially calling out enemy positions.
2) If getting a ride from a tank try to jump on the back so that you won't die from enemy snipers as easily or from your tank getting the crap blown out of it.
3) Ask Tankers to wait while you scout things out for them. (Yay no more chat lag :smokin: )
4) If your the internal gunner OCASIONALLY jump to the top turret gun and look around for enemies trying to sneak up on you. (just don't be predictable or do it when you are getting shot at obviously)

You forget the most important one: Work together with other armored vehicles (tanks) and artillery.... Don't drive off alone with your tank, you will get killed!

2 (or more) tanks + some infantry -support- + artillary support can have a defasting affect on the enemy!

He sounds like an idiot because of the way he types, even if he isn't.

Well, Killor, that awfully sounds like an abuse... don't you know that abusing others is not allowed by the GF rules? I think I don't have any other choise but to report you... You know, civil duties. Oh, dear.. Oh, dear..

Well, that does sound like an abuse.. you know, calling him "an idiot". That sure does sound like an abuse.

I thought you ignored me too.. Missed me?

So you did miss me. How nice.. Well accusing others of sounding like idiots is just as much an abuse as calling them idiots.

There are problems with tankers. One, moving slow, is easy for some tanks, but makes you a nice target. Two, infantry often won't use the cover that is offered from a big metallic wall in front of them for some reason. Three, it's hard to move at the same speed as infantry without getting annoyed of tapping "w".
Also, saying you see something often gets ignored(idiots, soloers get in tanks often) and they'll drive right into the trap. I agree with your points, but there are some problems that come up from people who play.
