I have often been in a tank blasting away at other tanks and other targets while some grunt or mobius contstantly shot me, but I couldn't manage to kill him with my tank shells. Well, I found a way to kill them that works nearly every time.
You need to be very careful when doing this. Make sure you have 3rd person view on. Back off into an area that is safe from all fire except for the infantry's, get out of your tank, and start repairing it with your engi or tech. Hide behind your tank so that the enemy cannot see you, but watch him through your 3rd person view. Seeing that theres and empty tank right in front of its face, the enemy WILL run after your tank after a few moments. When it gets close enough, jump in your tank and squish him. I have gotten combos of 4 instant squishes this way. I have only lost my tank 2 or 3 times out of the probly 100's of times I used it. If you're a good player, I highly recommend you try this out sometime.
P.S. If you're GDI make sure that there are no Stealth BH's wandering around first.

You take away 1/3 of the mines that could be used to stop an apc rush on a building by doing that. [ June 17, 2002, 08:02: Message edited by: -HDC- Hibiki ]

I have done this method many times before, but you should only do this if you are sure there are no snipers. Nothing is worse than jumping out for a squish and getting sniped and say bye bye to the tank..
This works good on mesa on sides when rocketmen are everywhere, pop out, wait till they get kinda close, hop back in and splat

This is a kind of 'side-effect' of normal playing. If you're on the battlefield, sooner or later u wil have to repair your tank (usually the team is to dumb to do so), so get out, repair for 3 sec, get in dirve away and so on. By doing this, many enemies will rush to your tank in the hope of stealing it, also SBHs. Many times they get killed, always fun to see a depressed SBH kadaver in front of the tank when you get in (i know that kadavers can't be depressed anymore...)
But if you shoot constantly on the ground it's also not very hard to kill the infantry, beacuse of splash damage... But you have to have some sort of aiming

I simply love buying a med tank, taking it out into the middle of the map, setting 2 timed c4s on it, watch a Nod guy get into it and laugh at me, than 30 seconds later I laugh at him. Its fun to booby trap tanks. I only do that when I'm really bored though...

yup...let's all get out of our vehicles in the middle of no-man's land, then feel like complete idiots when we get sniped and leave a free ride behind!!
Just in the games I played today, I can't count the number of times someone got out of a tank in the field and died doing it.
To the sensible people: if you see one of your team's vehicles empty in the field, even if there is someone repairing it, kill it. Your team will be much better off in the long run. Sure, the owner will get ****ed at you. BUT...if you're dumb enough to get out in no-mans-land, even if it seems clear, you don't deserve the tank in the first place.
I say it again: if a teammate gets out of his/her tank in the field, kill it without hesitation. sure, it sounds mean and evil, but if it means keeping your stuff out of some SBH's hands, go for it.
