Anti-vehicle tactics

My favorite that literally struck me was when i was near the crane on Crucible demolition with an M60. They were rushing hard with technicals. So i set up m2 mines and proned about 10 feet back. Sure enough they blitz the left and i keep on missing. Like any smart driver, the terrorist driver makes a beeline straight for me while his driver shoots away. Lucky for me the MGer kept missing but so did I. Suddenly the driver goes straight over my M2 mines, just 10 feet away...directly in front of me...then it hit me that i had accidently used myself for bait! Its a nice tactic, solid and simple. And the best part is if they catch on to it when you start firing, the driver isn't going to run over that way and forces the driver to slow down, hop out and throw nades or hop out and snipe, all of which options for him leave him open to any of your snipers there or yourself

Those are great tips but, if Im not mistaken you carry a max of four(4) AT4 or RPG's(i cant remember which one) if you get the rpg ammo(which is heavy as hell)besides that awesome job.

Question ALSV seal vehicle.

Does anybody know how to effectively destory the ALSV vehicles in Killing fields. I play as a terroist convoy driver and everytime I leave spawn 1. Im always getting murdered by those things even when the tank is laying down suppressive fire with its .50 cal machine gun.

I try using rpg's....... but there so fast and even with a direct shot it wont blow em up; Because the engine is in the back.

The only gun I have luckily killed drivers or gunners with is the m16. Please reply with advice if you know a quick and easy way to take out ppl in those manslaughter trucks

Get someone with skill to use the cannon on the Tank. Free kills. Or use M2 mines, but don't plant them perpendicular like Wand3rer says, the ASLV goes too fast and won't be affected. Also, it won't be hit twice like he says. It goes so fast that both mines go off at the same time. It's hard, you need more than two, but that's how you have to get it done.

When it comes to the faster vehicles I have found a diagnol approach at a choke point seems to work the best. Set your first one to one side and then the next father over but ahead, the jeeps and technicals always seem to be swerving and this seems to me atleast to increase your chances of getting a catastrophic kill. For tanks, Wander's suggestion of going cross wise always seems to work the best, but the drivers in this game have gotten pretty good at driving over random areas and staying off of roads and bridges which makes it difficult to get mine kills. In respawns I try to set them in my teams spawn itself, sicne tank drivers in respawns like to try and run you over as you spawn.

Recently in Convoy rooms, the new "craze" that works better than anything before when taking vehicles out, is to plant your M2 mines almost right on top of eachother. I play Convoy only as a terrorist and planting two (or more) M2 mines on top of eachother is more effective.

You might argue that they are less likely to be run over, but any skilled terrorist knows that you need several of your troops to set down mines. With each way illustrated in Wanderer's image, there is a chance the vehicle will only hit one. Even if one is hit, the other will detonate, but it will not cause much, if any damage.

What about engaging the vehicles with small arms fire to take out the driver and gunner? I know that you can't really do that with the armored carriers/tanks, but wouldn't it be a good strategy to gain the vehicle for yourself?

Example: In suppression rooms, you can take out the occupants of the vehicle then take the vehicle to your spawn area so the other side doesn't have access to that vehicle anymore (at least for awhile).

Just a thought, that's all.
