Where are the tank soft spots in this version...it seems like there may be one in one of the BF1942 areas between the turret and the body.

Side and rear. The rear is really weak. The side is weak if you can get a direct hit. Glancing blows don't do nearly as much damage as direct hits.

Of course the best thing to do is get all your shots off before they even see you.

Yep..I had luck with that tonight also though not at your level. I couldn't ever get in the server you were in. I did notice they went back to the soft spots of BF1942 except not as extreme as 1 shot 1 kill on the rear.

Definitely sides and rear. You want to get as close to a 90-degree angle on the shot as possible, so when 2 tanks are facing each other head on, turn your tank at a 45 degree angle to the other tank if possible.

Also, for RPG's...you get a damage bonus if you attack from above.

?? The other games were like that? BF2 and BC2 for instance...

It takes too many hits to get a tank head on. I try not to engage that way, especially if I know they haven't seen me yet. I'll try to get in behind them ( ) and hit them with my cannon ( ).

And yes, RPGs from the top are killer. don't even bother hitting a tank head on... try the rear or top if you can work the angle.

The only one that was similar to the tank sweet spots in BF3 was the first one BF1942. People complained about tanks ruling in BF1942 and the tankers complained about 1 shot 1 kill from the rear, so the versions after BF Vietnam, BF2 and so forth adjusted those two things. Personally, I think BF3 has been the most balanced so far of all the releases.

BF1942 you had to have skill to be an elite tanker because you had to hit while on the move because it was about where you hit not just about hitting the other tank. The elite tankers could hit from a distance while on the move and or took extra time to get around to the side or back of an enemy before shooting.

Im pretty sure BC2 also took into account more damage if you hit closer to a 90 degree angle, and also if you hit the sides or rear.

Anyway, for everyone curious about the upcoming flashlight nerf...

Thank goodness. That flashlight is too powerful.

I am going to be sad to lose the effectiveness of the IR scope, though. That thing makes spotting enemy so effing easy.

Yes it did but not the level of damage as in BF1942 and BF3. I liked reading the comments of the article. This is the cleanest most balanced version yet out of the box. I agree there are some issues but nothing that is taking the joy of the game away. I could just sit and complain about someone killing me with a weapon I've not leveled to yet or just get myself leveled......
