Can someone tell me how to use that third gun (if that's what it is) on a tank? Every now and then I jump in a tank that already has 2 people in it and I get different crosshairs to normal and all I can do is switch infrared on/off. I don't seem to be able to shoot with it.
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick here and it's not actually a gun?
Nope, not a gun. It's for painting targets for guided missiles.Or have I got the wrong end of the stick here and it's not actually a gun?

:-) That would explain why I can't shoot with it then.

Alright, who's responsible? own-up.

Combine CITV with a driver with guided shells for real effect. YOu have hammer choppers with it, and make other tanks day a misery too: Lock at distance and score the fisrt guided hit, close them down, Driver switches to "normal" shells for a quick seocnd hit, 3rd man hops out and looses off an RPG/SMAW and that's the job jobeed even in a full frontal tank battle. You can take out an enemy tank in 2-3 seconds if you get the timing right.
I only run guided shells, and it frustrates me how many tank drivers don't use it, which is why I have to rely on scaring the fly boys away more often than not.FUBAR said:

So for the tank... what are the unlocks? I do like playing tank driver but just as with any assualt rifle for me its very much a case of, banjo, barn door, couldn't, hit, a.
At the moment I think when you first start you have the IR smoke and thats it. I think now I can press triangle to switch to the coax LMG and I think the HMG is the next upgrade. But where does IR vision come in and guided/canister shells and how do you equip them? There isnt a load out screen like there is for the 4 player classes.

There is a load out screen - you can do it in the menus before joining a game or mid-game before you spawn. At the moment I think when you first start you have the IR smoke and thats it.

If you join Battlelog you can keep track of the unlocks and see how many points you need to unlock new kit (as well as see all your other stats).
Good games last night on the ps3 server.
Started with Kharg, then bazaar where the us got pushed back into their spawn area. Took me 3 attempts but I finally c4d the Humvee you had parked down an alleyway.
Seine went down to the wire after the Russians hammering us for most of the game.

yep. Can't have zoom and coax I'm afraid. That's why you need a gunner up top to help deal with the C4 monkeys.
Are you sure about that - my understanding is that zoom optics is a gadget and the coax LMG/HMG is a weapon and you can have one of each equipped?Otispunkmeyer said:
