The Amazing APC! - Page 2

On Wake Island during one of our beta testing nights, Lyra had us all pod out onto the roof and repair the APC as he drove it across the water. Worked great, for a while anyway

So yes, you can pod onto the top of an APC and survive.

I do actually think it may be that you can only pod onto friendly APCs, as I have done the repairing thing, but have also tried to pod onto an enemy APC to RDX it, and died upon landing. Something to look into a bit further maybe?

you cant pod onto an enemy APC

from this discussion, it seems like one can pod onto friendly apc's

but i dont think i've ever done that.

also, it just occurred to me that the APC has the best vision of all vehicles. ever been in a tank, scouted around, seen nothing.

next thing you see is an explosion and Person X [Pilum HAVR] |TG| somebody
a full apc can see on all sides, lowering its vunerability

Ok am I mistaken in saying i'm the biggest APC "Ho" in TG? Everytime we play belgrade and the like I make an APC squad. And if I find a good gunner, we OWN. We load up the apc with 1 medic*usually gunner* support *driver* and the rest eng's. The engy's job is top pad out in various directions, and engage armor from multiple angles. Meanwhile driver emps, and Mortor clears infantry. This stratagy seems to work very well in most games. And everyone gets alot of points (for those of us still working on general)

Edit: THe exception being 10 mins in, when commander realizes the damage we're doing and focus's arty directly at apc everytime it recharges LOL

You can hold down Ctrl to look around in the tank from the 1st person view.

This only works with the Nekomata, I think. And I don't believe it will allow you to look behind you.

You're right, you can't look behind you. I don't think I've tried in the EU tank, but I'm pretty sure it also works with the gunship and maybe the FAV. Not 100% though.

The feature is only present on vehicles that use the mouse for steering, so only the Neko, Hachi, and gunships use the feature. The EU tank's turret turns quickly enough that it's not necessary, and the FAV uses regular mouse-look, though you can't see out the back of your vehicle.
