this obviously answer a couple posted questions here:
How do I rack up many points in as little time as possible?
How do 30+ kill streaks happen?
answer: APC on Karkand. Full server. I think this one is 35/38 people. (+ 2 reserved slots not taken = 40)
The last few weeks I've been bored with infantry in city maps, and since I can't fly worth a lick, I've tried my hand at armor.
APC > Tank, any day.
Splash damage + a lot quicker turret + manueverability = the win!
I'm amazed at the people who continue to sit still while I use the splash damage to slowly take them out. It's a simple concept really, a moving target is harder to hit than a sitting target.
I have a total of 70 hours in armor, out of 400 total, and I'm never an engineer while in armor for some reason. I'd say half of that time has been within the last month as i've been seeing what I could do. I've learned quite a few things and even how to save our tank and help them out.
My favorite kill while in armor: Taking out a full health tank over the course of a minute or so. Hit him once on the flyby with the missle and some regular shots, appeared to be taking off for a rear flag, circled back and hit him again with the missle, did this a third time without him getting a shot into me, a couple went at me while flying by me. The third fly by I got hit, but took him out with my missle and went back and healed up.
As for the 40 kills, I didn't even notice it until I thought to myself I haven't been dying much. I know I kept dropping my squad mate SNAPUC off at different flags because sitting still will end your life quickly.
As I've said before, I have the most respect for AT guys who will continuously take a beating and low scores to knock out armor. It was the most fun I had when going for my vet badges so I get it.
