Changing Seats In The Tank, and some other really sneaky stuff

Similar to the humvee, you can do the same with the tank.

When you jump in to a tank, you automaticaly control the main turret and the tracks (body direction ceters on the direction of the gun). As such, (and obviously), you can point the main battle gun where you want and the body follows. Now you do some tweaking and you are pointing and firing where you want, even in motion.

But at first glance it seems you need second person to control the machien gun, which can swivle faster than the main gun, can back up the firepower of the main gun, and clear off 'pests' that the main gun just can't get to.

But if you are alone, it seems that you dont have this option... you are stuck in the main gun. But not true. Press the top Number two button and you will switch to the second position in the tank. You now control the dule fifties. You can no longer control the tank, but you have some cool options now. One is that you can switch back and forth by using the numbers. The next is that you can "hide" fire on un-suspecting players cause the fifties are harder to see swivle around. By firing from the fifties, you can park on the flag and not accidentaly move the tank, and finally you are out of the way incase another player jumps in and they expect to drive.

A really cool thing I did 'once' was to sit in the fifty, close to an enemy flag, fire on a few un-suspecting opposition players, then an enemy jumped in, started driving around to guard home base, but I was fireing out the back, where her could not see me, and I was taking out their defenses guns and players. They're home players saw a tank fireing the main gun at the enemy, but they were a bit in dis-beleife that the fifity was firing on their stuff. So of coourse they had to jump out and kill the tamk to get rid on me, but now they had no home tank for a few minutes, which sucked for them when an opposition tank came in Wink

I hope that thisa explains a bit more about how usefult the tank can be.
