Ok guys! i heard a lot of people saying that med tanks were one of the powerfull unit in the game... I still can't get it since I really s*ck with it. Any tips to give me??? cause without them well, I'm really disadvantaged while gdi since they already got less vehicule than nod, and I cant use one of them... So i'm quite limited to mammy MRLS when it comes to attack.... Need your tips guys!

It's really simple. Use turretview and drive back and forth while pounding your target. It will be hard for people to strike back and you'll do much damage.

I am using view locked to turret, but exept for flamers, all Nod tanks are smallers that the med, so they got the advantage on that... Well, i'm a nod player too, maybe that explains a couple of things....

The med tank seems sluggish compared to the light, but it still has a good manuverabilty. So keep you eye on incommin projectiles, u CAN avoid them, the easiest way is to point the turret at a 90 degree angle and go back and forth to avoid shells.

another solution would be not to buy a medium if you don't feel comfortable with it. you can get a sidney, mobius, or gunner, which can all do serious damage to enemy vehicles. or be a hotwire and help repair bldgs/vehicles. just yesterday i held off 2 ft rushes on hourglass with a mobius. there was no one else in our base but me and both times the agt almost fell, but i was able to destroy the flamers(with the help of the agt of course) before they finished it off. unfortunately i lost connection to that server before the game ended, but i was in 2nd place in points when i was kicked...

Yeah, everyone should have a bind so they can move their gun turret fully around, it's very useful. More so than the quick 180 turn ****. the best way to attack with a medium is to turn the tank sideways and go back and forth, keeping your cannon on the target. That way you can dodge any slow moving tank shells, but not infantry, they don't have much trouble hitting any vehicle.

Also, I think of the Med. Tank as my PREFERRED vehicle to assault a NOD base with when you're a Hotwire. The occupancy and speed might be a lot less, but I've gotten deeper into bases using a med. tank than I EVER have in an APC. I think it's just a more intimidating threat - that 105mm cannon is a good deal more powerful against hard targets than the .50 on the APC, albeit less effective against inf., but you can centerline your target building and get started on it before you even get to it.

I should try... But I'm always tempted to save a little more for a mamoth or something (cause I live mamoth when I got proper support)... I'll be trying the med tank a little more trying to use all your tips!!! thank ya all!

Three things: Lead your shots, practice against infantry, if you can hit them 50\% of the time, tanks shouldn't be a problem. Move Move a lot P.S. Did I mention you should move?
