If the whole team is firing at it continuously, it's dead before the zombies even arive. Then you have zombies to deal with after the tank is dead.

Boomer bile will help, but only for a short moment. After the effect goes away, common infected turn to attack you. New horde for no reason.
P.S. When u throw bile on tank, u could only shoot infected around him, and its waste of bullets.

I was kicked because of that, then i learned.

Yea basically on lower difficulties it is somewhat effective when trying to fight the tank(Advanced and below). You can also bile the tank on harder difficulties but only on the finale when your escape transportation has arrived. The horde will slow it down allowing you to escape.

But on Expert/Realism it's more trouble. Granted the horde will surround and hit the the tank, but that same horde will act as a barrier taking up some of the bullets you and your team are trying to hit the tank with. Both your team and horde will not do enough damage to kill the tank in time therefore chances are the bile effect will end soon and thus you now have a horde and a tank to deal with. On Expert, a single common deals 20 damage per attack in front, times that by how many commons are summoned from the bile plus the tank that will incap you with one hit.

On Versus, the bile bomb would blind the player controlled tank well enough, but a smart team would just use a boomer to bile at least one of the survivors thus negating bile bomb's effect.

The director will split CI, half on the tank, half on the survivor, unless you miss the tank, and hit the ground, CI will always go for biled/boomed over bile effect on the ground, does not matter if is infected or survivor.

Enjoyable? Really?

Most of the ending is not good and not enjoyable.

And you play only regular campaign on normal mode.

I wonder how you know it.

Yup. That is the most suitable way to find yourself kicked that's for sure.

I throw bile bombs at tanks on Realism Expert. Especially on The Sacrifice 1, Dark Carnival and Cold Stream Finale — it works.

There are no hard and fast rules.
& after to charge all this stuff, away from the thumbs of billed tanks, if you have gas/molly close, yep it works pretty good. Throws & these burn.

But, when appears a boomer & it reaches you with his vomit the commons reacts by boomer bile, & add 1 horde more if the time of blind tank is over.

& now you have 2 hordes full of bloody zombies running towards your teammates, if you dont have skills perhaps you wont been up this thing correctly..

Remember it is Realism Expert, & okay, I´ll believe you xC, nice one.

"Sacrifice" --> Throw bile over the train and eliminate the tank first.

All these people aren't telling you the most OBVIOUS thing. Did you notice that, when a tank comes, there is absolutely NO horde. 2 or 3 common max. Then you throw bile, a huge double horde comes, the tank SURVIVES the bile, and boom now you have a tank and a ♥♥♥♥ ton of common coming after you messing up your aim and giving the tank an easy wipe.

Boomer is the most essential support for a tank and you are giving him free bile.

When a tank comes, there is absolutely no horde? Really?

You played 1273 hours, but still don't know about the map.

Play "Sacrifice"

LOL! You're bad. He didn't ask about the sacrifice. He asked about tanks in general in the topic. You brought up one exception.
