the first gamey CMBB tactic i could think of

[russellmz]

just for laughs:

wait till you get a tank knocked out. if the extreme FOW is on, move a mmg unit to the exact place where the tank is. laugh as your opponent eventually spends the next five minutes firing rounds into the dead tank thinking the mmg fire is coming from a live tank.

Hehehe...I like it. I'm not even so sure it's gamey. You'd have to be able to get an MG to the hulk fairly quickly. What about the different sounds the various MGs make? That could give you away.

Treeburst155 out.

it will be gamey since newbs won't know to hit CTRL-V to turn off vehicles...they won't be able to target it themselves, only the tank hulk!

....and the tank will be shown as KO to the other player anyway.

Which brings me to another question: Will we, with extreme FOW turned on, still see the "barrel down" whenever a tank gets knocked out?

The tacAI has no problem targetting things under tanks, and most targetting is done that way.

Only for the Germans. The Soviet used the different versions of the DT in vehicles and as LMG.

One could use the 'n' shortcut. It cycles through all available targets. It is a good command to use in the event one is trying to pick out a specific target in a messy situation.
