Anyway, when in a Tiger tank, your best bet is to be reversing while keeping your frontal armor presented at all times, and aim towards the side/back of the Neko as it s swings around to get behind you. Sometimes you get lucky and it clips the critical soft spot, netting you insta-kill, or it takes off the standard 50 health. Either way, if you can force the other tank to only be able to hit your front while you hit their side, you will definitely win.

Also: If you are facing a very good Nekomata pilot, and he takes out your tank, if you've gotten at least one side shot on it, remember that you can pop out before the killing shot and use the blown-out tank husk as cover to Pilum/default AV him in the side /back and kill him too.

I believe Kelvin answered that pretty well.

The dead people theory sounds interesting. Might even be true.

I am aware of that, but I am pretty sure the time I used rockets there was only one guy there...anyway it was just a thought

Is the Accipiter merely a mobile 360degree Enforcer Sentry Gun?
ie.
Same target acquisition methods, same firepower, same accuracy, etc?

Oh great Lyra, what is the best way to destroy the <rk> APC from hell?

Go Commander and bomb them

I've got one for you oracle.

When a sentry is half destroyed, it spins around firing. Have you ever known anyone to be killed in this way?

**LordKelvin** · 07-30-2009, 09:24 AM

I'll answer that for you: I've been killed by a stray bullet from it like that before, and hurt dozens of times.

Dear oracle of lyra:

In a collision between two equal health buggies, what might cause one to die immediately and the other to survive at least long enough to bail?

**JumpBackJack** · 07-31-2009, 12:28 AM

How do you avoid someone that has an obsession with a (just one) Lyra knife kill?

Possibly whichever vehicle gets registered by the netcode as making contact first

IDSes, Otuses and aware Squadmembers

Dear Oracle,
How does one get Lyra's tags?

Deterhek · 07-31-2009, 05:37 PM

Not possible, the game isn't capable of registering Lyra being knifed.
