The tanks are a bit over-powered. A good sticky grenade landed right on the tracks doesn't kill it. A good bazooka to the track or rear doesn't kill it. It takes about 3 bazookas and a sticky grenade with Fireworks on to take out a tank. I think this is a little excessive, considering that you don't even get any extra points for killing an enemy in a tank. If they're not going to reduce the power of the tanks a little bit, I think they should at least make it so that you get some hefty points for taking one out.

What do you guys think?

Totally agreed. When I was in the beta I would hop into one and get like 20 kills before I died. Then hop in another one. I was having fun, I didnt care how cheap it was.

The best example of this was when I hit a tank point blank with TWO RPGs, only to get blasted and die, respawn and only then after hitting him again did it blow up. Lame.

Does anyone have any input as to how much damage the tanks can take on Hardcore modes?

I think its about right, but I only wish that the Bazooka perk would give you enough rockets to actually take one down. Thats what ruins it.

Yup. Seriously I love it when people get into tanks, they just make themselves huge targets, I kill 5+ tanks on every vehicle map.

agreed thats how i take out tanks... but supposedly you can blow off armor on the tanks and they expose weak spots AKA one hit kills... Havent really seen this happen but have noticed some tanks getting taken out really fast by bazookas...

I pegged one with a bazooka 4 times and it didn't die.

i agree they are overpowered. It's really annoying when you keep shooting the tank with bazookas but it doesn't blow up.

I don't think they're overpowered, i just think there should be a larger incentive to take them down, like 20 xp instead of 10, maybe even 25.

If you're able to get it under the tank.
Even though it takes up all your tank destroying resources, 2 satchels and a sticky to the back of the tank is way less risky.

Aren't these statements a bit redundant.
