You aren't being practical. It takes 10x more organization and focus for the infantry to take out a single fucking tank than the tank requires to do HIS job.Karo6972 wrote:
I realize this, I am in fact one of those crazy Jet/Heli pilots with a brain. However, when someone sits near an AA and I'm occupied with other things (enemy jet behind me, heli v heli battle, more than one IGLA site ...) it's quite possible that I'll get taken out. Believe it or not, some of those strafing runs dont destroy that cursed AA (and YES I am indeed aiming at it) and when an experienced player is nearby, he can hop in and fire off his missles before I have a chance to evade. Though, the fact of the matter is that about 75% of BF2 pilots are twits that won't look at you, TK for the plane, force TK's, etc. And those are the ones that you can get easy.AlphaMale wrote:

A good gunner will not hesitate to destroy iglas and AA vehicles FIRST. The pilot knows this and will comply to the gunner's tactics.Karo6972 wrote:

Use them and convoy = dead...
Tows are STATIONARY and easily avoided/destroyed. As for the Sraws x 2... a tank being repaired by two other vehicles with engineers in them and a supply crate will nullify their efforts.
As far as ground goes, an experienced tank driver won't be sitting on top of the TOW and usually won't see the missle coming from the distance. The one that DOES sit on the flag is susceptable to C4 or someone who hops on the TOW while he's looking for that C4 guy. Plus, it's not often that your teamates (the repairing vehicles) will actually sit by you when you have full health (or they won't even be engineers...), so those 2 SRAW missles aimed at the tracks (most people know to aim for the critical point) are instant kill.
A convoy of intelligent people in vehicles are AT AN ADVANTAGE vs a squad of scattered, equally intelligible infantry.
I have played in many clan-matches and THIS is the reality.
