Yo Sentinel117! Just thought I'd give you another technique for killing tanks. Sadly, its only useful in blood gulch, but its stil really useful. So useful that one time I had to take on a tank with a plasma pistol and no grenades and I won. Alright, heres the deal, there are plenty of hills and such in blood gulch right? Well, what you do is, either draw the tank near one or pray to God there is already one right next to you (one = hill). Drawing the tank to a hill is a trick within itself, that just depends on skill and location. Anywho, the small hill in the middle of the field where the rocket launcher is located is excellent for this manuever. (FYI- the rocket launcher was gone when I had to take on the tank) Alright, position the hill inbetween the tank, and yourself. Lightly peak over the hill to where you have a shot on the tank. Do your thing. Shoot the tank as much as you can before it gets too close. "but Joe, what if the tank fires at you?" Well my friend, thats the magic of this trick, if the tank fires, you are more behind the hill than over it, therefore, when it fires, it will hit the hill and more than likely not damage you. However, if it does, try to predict when the enemy is going to fire and kneel down before it does. When the tank does get too close and it is about to charge over the hill, you need to manuever yourself around the tank so that the hill is back inbetween you two. Thats not as hard as you may think. See, when the tank comes over the hill, take a step back, so you have moving room. Then--actually, when it reaches the base of the hill is when you want to take a step back. Then once it is climbing the hill, you need to move to one side of the tank and simply run by it, the player in the tank will not see you going by because while the tank is climbing he wont be able to see close objects directly in front of him. That gives you the advantage of the hill again. Repeat until tank is subdued.
