    been seeing lots of footage of them flying right into hatches of bmps and t90s. really makes me wonder why the orks aren’t buttoned up / closing their hatches on exit more.

      They’re abandoning the vehicles, they probably don’t care or comprehend why they should.

      If you’re abandoning a tank, there’s a good chance you’re worried about being sniped. Taking the time to close the hatch leaves you as a sitting duck, while doing it. They are likely jumping out and running to cover.

        learn that at ft benning huh? home of the armor school?

        No you didn’t. because that’s… something you just assumed in your head.

        these chucklefucks getting blasted in Ukraine have a lot more to worry from mine and rpg toting quad copters than their TC getting sniped in the turret.

        sniping tank commanders would actually be living on hard mode because if the russians have ANYTHING with IR, it’ll be their more advanced BMPs and t72s/t90s. so you take your pot shot, then they slew around, find your hot spot, and start putting autocannon rounds around you. not a smart tactic.

        you don’t waste snipers attacking tanks. why do I even bother replying…
