Combat tips needed:
Combat is the only thing that makes me RQuit this game and about the only game that makes me RQuit. but i am trying to 'git gud'. Even tho half the time i feel like its more about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanics that i die rather than about 'git gut' but hey. MOstly reffering to, THEM SEEING me and i don't. That thing is rage inducing xD.
Like open field battle vs any mechanized vehicle, i just go boom boom dead everytime and i never see'em, just hear'em.

So i got some questions if people can adress, also add whatever other tips you got.
-How easy do tanks get repaired?
-How many stickies are needed to down a tank or tank rifle bullets? Feels in vain sometimes.
-Whats the best cover in this game? While some things show as full cover, they dont always seem to protect the same? Eg, Sandbags does better than a 'hole'.
-how or where to aim reticle? at head/chest? does it matter?
-is prone any good? like mitigate damage or make you harder to hit?
-does higher rez give me more vision?(or view dis in options)
-whats a good way to kill a halftrack as infantry? since they see u everywhere.
Few more Q's, but later.

Cover is good if it's between you and the bullet. It's not some magical system that gives you an X percent chance to not get hit.

Prone is vulnerable, because you're stationary. Grenades will [Steam's lovely hearts] you up, and it takes time to turn to face a new threat. But you gain accuracy very fast, and will usually be harder to hit.

Tank Repairs can be done in 2 main ways with Bmats
-Hammer to get basic health back
-Garage to get armour back

Depends on what you mean down a tank; and depends on the tank.
-Can easily de-track vehicles with mines, stickies and AT guns from the side.
-Sometimes other parts can be disabled, but that's luck based, detracking is consistent.
-Actually blowing up would need rear fire ideally where armour is weakest.
Facing tanks head on here and in any game is ill advised when possible.

Best cover would give as much physical cover as possible. Sandbags vs Trench is a topic for much later.

Aim centre mass when possible; some advise shooting BEHIND the target, since you will see the red line indicate something [enemy] in the way. Very hard to figure out especially with elevation changes at times.

Prone does give a stable fire position and makes you a smaller target, at cost of mobility of course.

Killing any vehicles is always a job for AT guns, grenades or rockets. Gas grenades are under-used for this; always remember as a vehicle crewman to have extra filters just for that.

if i remember correctly, changing your resolution as close as you can to 1:1 will give you some sort of extra distance at the sides of your field of view, essentially making it possible to see others before they see you, given they aren't doing the same thing.

The field of view needs some rework. You can see mutch further at the corner of your screen thanks to trigonomitry. So make sure you turn your camera to get the most out of it.
For anti vehicles, you need some coordination for it. The only time youll be able to solo a tank will be if it doesnt move or fire.

how does weapon shooting work exactly? aim in that direction? or crosshair has to bee on him? color matters? tips.
I find myself missing to many shots, while enemy is always spot on.
Me n enemy got same gun, we engage in a fight. he killed me in first 3 bullets that are always on point, i missed 20, smg type fight.
Both of us crouched, i try burst, but i still dont hit like the enemy does.

Is there a recoil pattern you can learn? Sometimes i see guys with rifle just shooting almost continuously bullets going same place. They just aint missing, like they got no recoil after shooting.

in this game you must pray to rnjesus. in this game your accuracy depends on how long youve been aiming, if youre moving and in what direction, if youre crouched or prone, if you have half or full cover, and what weapon youre using.

A bunch of factors but its really simple: hold down aim until the crosshair is as pinpoint as it can be and then shoot.
