Where to park your tank
Now that I'm back from my travels for a few weeks before leaving again for my vacation in MI, USA, I thought I'd share some screenshots I took a short while back whilst in-game:
Although he has some great zooka skills, MiniRambo wouldn't make a great valet lol (I believe that when he trapped his tank in that position, he somehow ended up killing a team mate while trying to force it clear by blasting away at the opposite wall):
Some bot at the Bulge with dubious parking abilities:
Anyone else got some funny screenshots or vids from BF42?

Re: Where to park your tank
Have no pics but is curious about your first picture, what map is it?
Interesting feature with print screen, opens up for some blackmailing possibilities

Re: Where to park your tank
You got me there! - I have no idea what that map was, I've only seen it a couple of times but I think it's a R2R map! Anybody recognize it ? (look at the minimap layout to refresh your memories) Large open map with airfields either end and a walled canal running through the middle of the map with an obstacled bridge.rix wrote:Have no pics but is curious about your first picture, what map is it?

Re: Where to park your tank
After causing a serious annoyance by sniping TamedGlory and SAC at least 10 times each on Omaha beach today, they pinpointed me eventually so I decided it was time for some fun with an APC mg, but that turned out to be an unsettling experience as there seemed to be a glitch in the matrix....
Another of MiniRambos infamous parking jobs? Note my invisible rifle
Got into it by pressing "e" and could move it backwards and fowards a little but that was it. My bot gunner took a headshot from cam. Nice sniping dude!
And obviously, the view the from drivers seat. The APC stayed stuck under the ramp, but when I hopped out I was able to slide out through the walls of the landing craft.

Re: Where to park your tank
lol awesome, cool pics! Thanks Doom and Tristan!
I failed to get screenshots of the following, but I want to see if anyone can shed any light on some occurences:
1a: Battle of the bulge - I'm in blue team. Running towards bridge from the church. On the minimap I see a friendly blue tank yards in front of me.
On the screen I cannot see ANY tank. Watching my minimap, I run around, through, over, under this tank, Can hear it's engines, really loud, but it's completely invisible. It's not solid, because I'm running right through it, according to my minimap. It eventually accelerates over the bridge and I lose sight of it on the minimap.
1b: Another time on The Bulge, also blue team, I'm about to steal a tank from Red main base, when I hear a whole bunch of tanks closing in on me. I assume they're enemy, because nothings showing on the minimap. I run around buildings trying to catch a glimpse and hide. I turn 360 but no tanks in sight. The engines are so loud they must be on top of me but I can see NOTHING! I'm just waiting for one of them to run me down. Got bored eventually, waiting to die so I just ran away.
2 El Alamein Blue team again, above our airfield, standing in front of the factory, where all the tanks spawn, Next to the factory is a concrete bunker. Sitting on top of this bunker is a Sherman tank. A teammate grabs another Sherman from nearby and drives it behind the bunker and I lose sight of it. Next thing I know is this guy is ALSO sitting on top of that bunker in his tank. 2 tanks now parked side by side on top of the bunker.
I asked him how he got the tank up there but all he said was "Magic".
There's no ramp behind the bunker, only another building which is so close to the bunker theres no space to manuoevre a tank to get it up on the bunker.
The story had a funny ending though: I heard enemy aircraft approaching so I went inside the bunker and pressed "E" and appeared in the free tank on top this bunker, with this other player in his tank. We manned the machineguns and with our two tanks, shot down an approaching Messerschmidt!

Those are ghosts of tanks you've killed.
They are haunting you!

Re: Where to park your tank
Don't worry, this was years ago...I didnt glitch in ur server, lol.
Actually, this was a server that was up every-so-often (Not dedicated) that was just to mess around in...mainly glitching...lol - I think it was only 4 slots? But i dont have contact with the guys anymore [Yes, it was usually the same people in there]

Re: Where to park your tank
This is me in the tank, on El Alamein, keeping it safe from a constantly lurking Alfred, who was determined to steal said tank.
Screenshot taken by [JiF]Mini Rambo.
It's possible to get the tank up there with some really crazy manouevering, but I think it's called glitching, so I'm probably going to get banned now
