That's not gamey at all. I'm sure plenty of people in WWII did this. Since when is driving behind a tank, getting out, and panzerfausting it, a gamey tactic? That seems perfectly realistic to me.Heinz said:yeah, tons of fun with those gamey tactics.so realistic!!
A use for the clown car

You better support that with real WWII events or you'll get bashed on like mad.
Just a warning.
I too see no harm in doing that. You got to get to the enemy some how. Its not always going to be tanks against tanks.

btw gj hijacking the thread to complain about the clown car and jihad satchling and whatnot. Stick to the topic please.
And so far the best use i've seen for the BA-64 is in the Orel because they are actually used as a SCOUT CAR.

Then get into a Tiger and see how long the use as "Scout Car" prevails.
It will be used as Transport and Scout car only once the satchels are removed from Orel for that matter.

Ostfront is a game. No matter how realistic it gets it will always be a game. The BA-64 isn't very realistic, but it cannot be considered an exploit because Tripwire released it with full knowledge of what it could be used for. Those of you that don't like it, please aim your chorus of protests at the developers.
In the meantime, you're free to ***** and complain about BA-64 drivers and their "gamey" tactics, and I'm free to laugh my ass off as my satchels blow your tank up for the 10th time in a row. Live with it.

Quick question, you don't find it odd how easy it is to blow up "ten tanks in a row" using clown cars and satchels?
No, I don't find it odd, since I usually pick on the easiest targets: Solo tankers who camp at chokepoints and fire high-explosive rounds at anything that moves. Tank crews who are on the ball rarely get killed by satchels.
My point was that no matter how "gamey" the mad satchel bomber tactics are, they are part of the game and will continue to be used so long as they are effective.

If you in favour of clowncarbombing read what other people write, they don't complain about you using the clown car to get in behind tanks, they complain about the unrealistic implementation of the clown car allowing you to this easily. Now, if your car had a penalty for driving offroad, if entering/exiting a vehicle acctually took some time and if AP rounds would not bounce off that thing nobody clould really complain. If you, with these more realistic settings, would be able to get that car behind my tank it would be my fault alone. Well almost.

Actually the car has a top off road speed of 45kmph or 50 dunno remember which, which is the fastest it can go ingame. Top road speed is 70kmph. The other points are valid.
People instantly bailing out of a BA-64 is just as wrong as instantly bailing out of a Tiger/IS-2/takeyourpick.
It's something gamey across the board. A tank crew would be pretty powerless to stop someone they noticed had just slipped around their flank with a Panzerfaust, but in RO you can hop out and pistol/SMG them down. It's an across the board problem and though I don't support super-satchels, I can't support people saying 'don't do it' unless they refuse to jump out of their tank when they have been legitimately out-flanked or snuck up on by infantry.
But, yeah, painting targets with the BA is solid if people actually do it
