I don't mind the tanks right now but the novelty, I'm sure, will wear off.

Up til now its been fun but I've not seen much tactical play involving the tanks. Has anyone seen them do anything other drive round and round?

Maybe a tank that was harder to destroy and had a variety of weapons such as flamethrower would be a better addition on some maps instead of dogs. Just to break it up a bit.

Perks make it slightly more easier to shoot people (faster turret movement) but other than that they are no real great advantage. Although I was chasing someone down the other day on foot and they disappeared just as I was about to kill him, realised he had duck in the tank !

yeah got the perks but not seen much tactical play involving tanks i.e. hammering the enemy from afar.
Usually you end up just trying to blast the little buggars that run around you with their bazooka's or another tank in a stand off.

I was in a TDM game the other night and the other team were dominating us

2 People in the Tank, when any of my team got near it they were taken out by snipers and the tank just blasted everyone from a far.

Fair play to them for playing as a team but my team were not interested and stayed at the other end of the map or left the game.

So i tried to take on the tank by myself and the snipers

The blast radius/hit detection from the tank turret is very poor. You need to hit someone full-on from point-blank range to get a kill, whereas it should be a one-hit kill in, say, a fifteen/twenty-foot radius of the main impact.

I have got a few streaks in the tank - got my first dags that way. It was a TDM and they just kept throwing themselves at me.

Have they removed the ability to mount an enemy tank and drop a hand grenade into it to blow it up instantly like CoD3? I tried but didn't seem to get it to work.

I remember it was quite tricky to execute in CoD 3, as you had to stand at a certain place next to the tank - as well as having a spare grenade of course

I suppose the have improved the tanks as they've added damage zones. Any idea what other vehicles are planned for the full version of the game, if any?

I thought i would lead the way for my team but i guess they thought otherwise

I think my Kills were about 3 and my deaths were about 15

I called on the spirits of Rambo, Chuck Norris & Jack Bauer but no use i sucked big time

As Kav mentioned the tank as actually very weak at taking out folks. I like them to just provide a little variety to the gameplay every now and then.

In theory though Treyarch cold patch the tank hit radius etc really easily so this could be fixed in the game or via a patch fairly swiftish (< made that word up)

First time I jumped in a tank ended with a 16 kill streak! Good tip I've found is, every now and then, roll backwards a bit and wait for the 10 points to pop up as you squash the guy trying to attach a satchel charge to your rear end...

I love being in tank when its about to blow, when you jump out I've found its always on the opposite side of the tank to the enemy. I run round the back, kill the guy thats hassling me and then move on. They really don't expect it as they're concentrating on the tank.

Like the idea of tanks with sniper cover.

I love the tanks.

I got a 30kill / 4death using only the tanks, with a 21 kill streak
