Dropping a charge on tank from upper story of Commisar's House

[clambo]

This game is even more satisfying the more I get in tune with the maps.
Last night on the ever challenging Commissar's House Map as a Russian engineer -
I finally destroyed a Panzer IV from the topmost floor of a building.

Threw 2 RPG charges from a top story window and the 2nd one made it.
Satisfying mushroom cloud, flames, sparks, smoke etc.
Thumbs up to the guy that did the explosion graphics
Everything pretty much set to ultra 1080P- from overhead it was epic

This is the best WWII game I have ever played.

How did you get the satchel through the window?

Every time I try, it gets magically stuck in the window...even if it's not touching anything.

That's easy - I used the hand held RPG shaped charges -
If you hit "4" as engineer it comes up first -
if you hit "4" again the satchels come up.

The satchels would never make it out the window
since as you noted they'd hang up on the sills.
*I'd already left the 2 satchels downstairs as a "house warming gift " - ha

 

[DiedTrying]

oh right. Those shaped charges would make it a lot easier.

Yeah I thought you said you got the satchels on the top, I was like "Wow good job!"

Would love to see that! (not taking anything away from your story though still coolbeans)

Its awesome to own a tank as a foot soldier

Nice!

Best I've done is I just ran up behind a tank to within about 30ft of it and tossed both of my AT Grenades onto top of the rear left quarter, still very satisfying just to get close enough to damage a tank with one of those. (Though I did destroy it).

Also very satisfying--as a normal soldier, killing an enemy engineer, "borrowing" their anti-tank explosives, and killing the nearest enemy tank.

I did the opposite of dropping from above. I was in a trench on Pavlov's House, when a Panzer IV rolled up *right next to me*

Rare are the weapons in this game that I don't find satisfying in this game (and it's really no one's fault for those, just preference... anway ->) and satchels and AT are really tops. One time on Red October we had a good Russian team but, as always the PIV was murdering us. I was a rifleman and I was trying to give cover to the engineer but he got hit by the enemy anyway, so I told the people I was with to keep it up. I picked up his satchels and 'nades and made my own run for it, dove into a nearby crater and finished the job, and the Russians actually own that match, good feeling.

Yeah there is a good feeling with knocking out that tank as infantry

I killed 2 teammates due to the satchel being stuck to the air inside a window. I was so bummed, the tank was just outside on Commisars and had no idea I was there. It would have been so easy. But no. I tossed, it stuck to nothing and 2 guys ran in just in time to get blown up.

When I have the opportunity to play as anti tank or engi, and there's a tank up, I chase them like a dog chases cars. I don't know why, I just need to blow them up. Damn it feels good when I do.

 

[Luckless]

I know the feeling. They just need to add in a safety check on the engineer's satchel charge so it doesn't count as a 'team kill' if it was deployed somewhere 'reasonable', such as on objectives, enemy tanks, etc.


If you throw it in spawn, you should just be banned from the whole game for a day or two at least.


Engineer is one of my favorite classes. I just wish people didn't see you throw the satchel and think it is a bloody gift they're suppose to pick up and bring back to you. I've only used it like 5 times so far, but I've managed to get myself killed with it at least 3 times. Very long delay, and has a very annoying tendency to get itself stuck in windows and stuff.

It's fun being blown up by those nades as a Tank. Reminds me of the noob-frisbees from BF1942.

I think as someone mentioned, it's just that awesome feeling that as one squishy soft human, you've taken out a ludicrously armoured hulk of destruction
