    that takes some skill right there. Which is why hobbes king of griefing every single round like holy shit man boom tanks is the worst best at what he does.

    Never checked the Mines vs Buildings ratio.
    9-mining map objects is a viable tactic tho.

    to be honest, on maps like escort =\.. 9mine is kinda bad sometimes. often times it blows the tanks up and away from the path. i prefer having a dead tank blocking the path of other tanks. yes smart people will be grenadiers and will get diffusal.. but im willing to bet that some people will not get diffusal. pretty much depend on people without diffusal to set off the mines and kill him/herself and as well as other people/tank that may be near him/her.

    No but on glacial i've driven off of the huge mountains with a jeep while being 9-mined at the same time, it's pretty awesome.

    Between 19 and 37.
    Though, for the record, I thought he was being poetic.

    Place (ml) turrets underneath enemy tanks wheels and make them immobile that way. Decon them easily/ force them out from the tank. You can even turret AFVs front. BE heavy and med can still spin out if the driver is smart or the turret is badly placed (in a sloped terrain).
    Doesn't work with NF med/heavy and BE jeep/cv.

    Protip: if your tank get stuck but have a cannon, then you can fire it in the opposite direction of where you wish to move in order to get loose.

    Except placement of corpses is different for different clients.

    Depends how they died though. If they just got shot down, it's usually fairly similar. If it was based off an explosion it won't be.

    I used to have a bug where all corpses were extremely light (as if sv_gravity was 200). Throwing a grenade at it would bring it from 1 end of the map all the way to another, so I could revive people who died half a map away.

    A restart used to fix that. I haven't seen it in quite a long time but I wasn't aware it was fixed. It used to happen to wall gibs too.
