I see it happening far too many times on public servers. Stop jumping out of your tanks.
- Why, Klaus? Why shouldnt I save my life????
I'll tell you then, oh random ROPlayer.. Because your job is to be a TANKER, a tank crewman or commander. It is what you DO. So if you jump out of a tank, lets say on a tank map, you are basiclly a guy with a pistol running around like an idiot for 10 minutes.
If you DIE with your tank, you'll spawn again next to it 5 seconds later and you'll do alot more good for your team because:
TANK > RANDOM GUY WITH PISTOL.
2nd reason - If you jump out when your tank is barely damaged you are just wasting it. It pains me to see some idiot driving a Tiger or a Panther half way across the map just to jump out the moment he sees a T34-76 targeting it
- But Klaus! Sometimes I need to jump out and kill Infantry
Oh silly ROPlayer, there are infantry roles for that.. a tank isnt your personal APC.
- But Klaus.. Surely there are times where its ok to jump out of your tank
Well yes, maybe rarely when you are about to cap a tough objective and you'll know you'll be more hidden outside a tank .. then maybe yes
on 97.5% of the occuasions.. THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO REASON TO JUMP OUT
