    Should obliterate a...

    ... most of the times, however the tank should be able to run over

    [IMG]

    ... without any problems

    Can someone explain to me why it's the other way around in this game?

    Vanu works in mysterious ways.

    because the tank is a MBAAT (main battle anti air tank) and the Korean soldier is Ironman in a 7€ armorskin bought from SoE

    Because it's a game and they can do whatever the f*** they like.

    Tanks are regularly destroyed by infantry irl. In fact, tanks without infantry support is really stupid...IRL.

    Games like this can't use irl balance as that would not be fun.

    I want to log in and shoot stuff with lots of other people not play a serious realistic tactical shooter.

    I have arma II for that.

    The answer is the 2nd word of the thread title.

    You picked the wrong game for it.
    If you want realistic game and physics, try ArmA2 and pre-order ArmA3.

    Because due to terrible base design, if that was the case then infantry would be stuck in spawn rooms trying to keep away from windows/doors, nobody would use tanks and it would be impossible to fly because you would keep running into other aircraft trying to farm the hiding infantry.

    Epic.

    Not US or Russian present day MBTs....
  17. Jokkie

    Uh, yes they are. They are regularly destroyed by insurgents. Russian tanks are being destroyed in Syria right now for example. There was a design flaw for the Abrams for example that allowed a simple RPG to disable it from hitting the back of it at a certain spot.

    Rocket launchers like this would not only wound a tank hard irl, it would OHK a enemy soldier on direct hit as well..

    Unit cost of an M1 Abrams tank.

    US$6.21 million (M1A2 / FY99)[3] Estimated in 2012 as US$8.58 million (with inflation adjustment)

    Unit cost for AT4
    $1,480.64

    Point being, there is quite profitable counters for tanks, however none would bother with tank production if it didn't give an advantage. Since infantary support and range advantage doesn't matter in this game (which is why tanks are good irl) it render tanks pretty useless.

    Also, doubt you find 5 AT4 or Carl Gustav around every corner in real life warfare.

    Then we have all those IED shells that are roughly 115 mm that are getting layed everywhere packed with C4 flipping abrams... And blah blah blah.

    He said present day MBT's, not Soviet era relics. (That said, I have no idea if it's true or not...)
