weapon to kill tanks?

[Coldflame]

we play diff9 and bots have been something of a troublemaker compared to bugs (go figure)

ideally i'd be using the spear to take out tanks but i'm starting to get fed up with the lockon being horrifically broken. are there any other support weapons that can effectively take them down pending a fix?

railgun/ac/recoilless rifle to the back of turret
110mm rocket/railcannon/orbital laser

spear is probably the only weapon which can kill tank from front

Well long as you hit them in the HEATSINK on the back of the Tank Turrets most of the Support weapons can kill a tank (some more effective then others). The Anti Material Rifle, EAT 17s, Recoiless Rifle, Auto Cannon, Rail Gun and of course the Spear can do this.

If you want to kill them without aiming for the weak spot then EAT 17s the Recoiless Rifle and Especially the Spear are capable of this (the railgun too, haven't tried it myself YET). Heck if your luckly the Spear will ONE SHOT a Tank since it acts like a Javalin missile for TOP ATTACKS.

As for other Stratagems types:

Eagle Strike wise:The Eagle 110mm Rockets and 500KG bomb will work,

Orbital Strike wise: the Rail Cannon Strike (usually a ONE SHOT KILL) and Orbital Laser (laser will eventually burn the tank to death, its a slow death but it will work).

If you feel like living Dangerously the Precision Strike (need to keep the tank still somehow), 120mm and 380mm artillery barrage will also kill the Tank IF (thats a big IF) it hits it directly.

Spears are great for long range tank hunting and turret hunting, dont be afraid to use em also on fabricators as it can destroy em, Railgun and Recoilless is also very good for punching through and if you are mad enough run up to a tank, jump on it and get a big gun( or something with a decent punch) to shoot the exhaust in the back or bait another tank to shoot it, works pretty well. Strategems wise, airstrikes, 500kg bombs, 110 missiles, precision strike, railcannon and orbital lasers( would rather use em more on bases and chaff then tanks or hulks as it takes time) and 120mm, the other artillery tends to be finecky sometimes.

slow cooking the timer on your basic default grenades to gently toss a few on the rear bumper, but that only works if the turret is facing a certain way (or impact grenade spam)

of note, while TECHNICALLY medium penetration primary like the penetrator assault rifle do not deflect off radiators. They do ♥♥♥♥ ALL DAMAGE so after the 3rd or 4th magazine that doesn't even get a tank or sniper turret smoking you just reach for the support weapons again.

2 grenades to the vent (specifically the impact or a correctly cooked frag) to the vent works quite well but does require someone to get the turret to spin while the other takes it out.

[Midnight]

Two impact nades to the back or top of the turret.

Eagle airstrike if it hits them dead on or eagle rocket pods.

I rarely have to use anything else against tanks. It's also very easy to stick delivery pod onto them in a pinch. So if you have a support weapon off CD or supplies don't hesitate to drop it on the tank.

[Drunken Weirdo]

you can also be nutty and put other stupid things on tanks as it usually takes 2 pod drops to kill em, I stick sometimes a tesla on em and see it fry its buddies or a turret

The JAR-Dominator can handle the annihilator easily. For the other you may want to get a Railgun mayhaps. They are more difficult to jump on.

When in doubt, railgun.

I use eagle 110mm rocket pods

Railgun kills tanks from the front too, just requires more shots

AC mops the floor whit automatons like nothing

spear's locking is pretty weird, half the time i don't get a solid lock even tho object not moving and is about sideways to me.

one good trick is to have ally die and drop-pod into the tank, just mind the secondary explosions as the ammo lights up, it usually yeets the would-be-hero about an half kilometre away (yeah, seen that happen)

Orbital Laser can kill multiple tanks back to back in the same laser.

Yeah the spear can kill from any angle, due to it being a lock-on rocket.
