When the tank moves you'll die. Granted you might kill a tank that's sitting still for 45 seconds, as if that's a difficult thing to do without spending 1000 credits on a beacon and dying in the process

The ion/nuke will hang in the air in the exact spot you placed it when the tank moves. You cannot attach an ion/nuke to a tank. It's been tried before

I remember reading a topic where someone thought they could deploy a beacon on a tank or APC and send it into the enemy base so that it'd detonate when the vehicle got near a structure. mobile beacons eh. Next there'll be beacons you can dial the code into and throw on top of a building. lol.

The only use for beacons outside of directly attacking a base is planting one in the middle of nowhere to send the other team into a confused panic.
Beacons have no use in an antivehicle role. No vehicle is going to sit still long enough for the beacon to go off, and the chances of a vehicle running into a planted beacon at the instant it goes off are slim to none.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Picture this,
2 GDI soldiers, 1 with a beacon, sneak up on a tank pinning someone else down. They open the hatch, where one fires his rifle to cover the other, who doesn't throw a grenade down but an armed beacon. They re-shut the hatch and suppress the commanders as they make attempts to escape. The commanders attempt to defuse the beacon but upon pressing anything the beacon gives off a flash-bang and hazes them all. Ion cannon strike... BOINK!

The beacons fall through vehicles because projectile isn't enabled on them. However, they can still be destroyed if they drive over the beacon and wait for it to go off..

from what i remember is the vehicle is empty the ion/nuke will fall threw to the ground, but if the vehicle has some one in it then the ion/nuke will just float right on the roof and when vehecle is driven away it will float in mid air.
It's 2 bad that it can't be atached to a vehicle. Can you imagine 3+ nuke loaded apc rush in and park next to bar, wf, ref... game over

Erhm, that still doesn't matter. If you cannot remember the fairly simple thing as to place a space after a comma or period. Then you, my friend, have a problem.

As you can see, there are spaces in that paragraph behind periods and comma's. :rolleyes:

Yet again, there are periods and comma's in there with spaces exacly after them. :rolleyes:

So, get off your lazy ass and type right.

If it could work, I guess that by destroying the vehicle it disarms the beacon too, so an apc rush would need some quick defence and there's the risk of all that cost being for nothing.
Plus imagine a nuke apc being pinned down by a couple of tanks and going off outside the base, achieving nothing?

Well does anyone remember them nuke trucks in Red Alert? They were so annoying because they went off when destroyed, killing half the army I sent to attack it. Even Tesla coils would be taken out purely by sending one of them toward the base. It would make a good mod as a secondary weapon though, if that's possible, anyone?

Probably, the idea is though if you can destroy the vehicle before it goes off, nothing will happen. Can see it being pretty cheap though as all you'd have to do is charge around at random, especially in small games.

i mean by jumping off a cliff, onto a tank and stuck a beacon ontop of it? This ain't the best way to get a whole lot of points but if ur playing for fun this might be really cool to try sometime. I think it would favor 
the most. You buy a sbh, wait on a cliff for incoming tanks, jump, and beacon.
Dunno about Russia though...
