As a satchel probably wouldn't have detroyed a tank unless it was placed under it, maybe you should have to go up to it so you are near front/rear (but you could still be to the side of the tank - just near enough the front to reach/throw under) and a message or symbol comes up indicating if you throw a satchel now it will go under the tank, or something like that.

Well actually the Satchel kills everything which resembles a Tank in a 10 Meter Radius, which is a tad overdone imho, especially since you can easily throw the Satchels on top of the Tank Engine Deck.

yea, satchels should be only capable of taking out the engine if it's thrown on top of it, or disabling the tracks...not blowing the entire thing up

It should be made as in Battlegroung Europe.

Place the satchel on the exactly spot, or the sweet spot (fuel tank, ammo) and it would has no problem blowing tanks up.

Yeah though the Satchel Explosive Damage Radius against Infantry is right on imho. I guess it just needs a bit tweaking, though i guess the Coding required to make Satchels stick to specific Parts of a Tank might be reuseable for Infantry riding on Tanks...

Though i'm no coder but it seems to make sense somehow...

I thought the satchels used to destroy tanks were like the HEAT round. You need to stick it on the tank and itll explode causing a concentrated backblast to the tank.
