Getting shot out of tank while driving?

[.Charlie.]

In real tanks, the drivers have a little spot to see out right? So in the game it's probably the same thing, so it wouldn't be classified as a glitch, it's just someone skilled enough to hit that spot.

Yup its happened to me once. i think it was crucible convoy and when i drove the tank into the 1st load zone i stopped and turned to have my gunner blow up some m2 mines and within a split second i was sniped by a guy looking down on me from above the tanks.

As far as looking out of a tank, while driving, the new tanks use a periscope, to see thru. You could shot the glass, so the driver couldn't see. But I don't think you could kill the driver. But I must admit, I haven't seen a T-72 in person, so I could be wrong. As for as the game, I think it's just a glitch.

I have also seen this a couple of times, and what everyone has previously said about the way to it is the same things i have heard. Although i have only heard of this being done by a .50 cal sniper. We should do some testing and see what we can come up with.

With a reasonable calibre (.308 upwards) you can take out things like aiming assemblies and the drivers viewport but the vehicle rarely stops moving and the good old "if you can see him, he can see you" rule comes into play and I would rather not tango with a 120mm gun!!!

And yeah it is pretty much a glitch in the game, generally the driver just sees the man inside, not the actual tank, so when he fires his PS2 registers a kill snd so the guy dies

yea iot MUST be a glitch, since you can do it it must be a glitch. Come on zipper would have to put something like that in, what with those pansy *** rocket launchers they'd best be putting something in there to help out.

I've watched someone do it, now explain how it could be a glitch if they where just doing the regular non glitch sniping way....lying in the grass like any old sniper and just pops the guy out of the tank.
well.....it must be a glitch then...

I got to thinking about this, and this has happened to me before. I was in Harvestor, and was running around, then I see my teamate running in place then on the screen it says he was running everyone over. I was like WTF, that's crazy, then I heard from him that sometimes, if you join a room late or something, you don't see the vehicle. You don't see it moving, and the guys that are in it just stay where they got in it running in place. Now when I was on the other team, and I saw my enemies in the car (running in place on my screen) I quickly shot them and it killed them all. Weird, but maybe this is how it's happening on there?

It is a programming defect and a glitch to exploit to get cheap kills. It happened to me in one of our clan rooms. My clan will not tolerate glitching of any kind, so we asked the dude how he did it after the map was over, ( which was explained above ). We made it seem like we were cool with him glitching, got him to hop on our side, and then team killed the little brat ( sounded like he was 13 ), and voted out of the room. All glitchers should be hiney r*ped by Majic Johnson without any prophylactic. just my opinion.

Yea charlie has it... it happens a lot to the PS2, S2 had it a helluva lot which actually explained a lot of sponges (you see the guy and waste him but he doesn't even know he is being shot, he cannot see you whatsoever, so one of his teammates wastes you while you shoot an invincible guy)

Has any one thought of actually asking Zipper or testing in LAN or a locked Online game to really decided if it is or isn't a glitch. My opinion not. Intend to test in single with sniper rifles, machine guns, assault rifles and turrets (vehicle and stationary).
