Happens every time you change your view on your soldier to shoot then walk into the tank, make sure that you change your view back before getting in the tank and everything is fine.

You should not be Tanking that close to the Base in the first place without driving it there.

Attacked a base, but got shot down. I jumped to chute, but landed on the roof of building.

I jumped to ground, and found my tank. I was split into two tanks. Could't see what I was doing. I was just moving around, I think, and was shooting until someone killed me. I couldn't see what I was shooting at.

Ever happened to anyone before.

Ok sorry Wumper, I have had split screen twice before maybe a month ago. About the only thing to correct it is to quit and try to rejoin. Must be a little glitch but happens so rarely it is just annoying. I would take that over the other glitches that have been present for months now. Case in point, your spit screen probably wouldn't have happened if there was no tank glitch. Wait till you see a speed hacker.
Sounds like you are a Tanker, would love to battle you one day.

I walked across building and jumped to the ground, fully expecting to hit ground and go back to my home base. But this time my tank was right there. When I hit the tank, it split into two tanks with strange partials floating around in the window. I couldn't see, but I believe I was moving. So I started shooting and then someone killed me. It was very weird.

Yes the speed of the tank, but amazing it is fast enough to roll over. Want a laugh, try to get in close and tip over your enemy tank. I know not realistic but sure is fun and improves your driving skills,
have to love the {WTH} response you get from the red. Back up and shoot. lol
Now I really am excited to meet you but I think we will be shelling long range on the move. Please Pilots let us Tank in Peace. Lets Tank

I looked up our tank on the Internet. I looked at the Spec's and discovered it weight and that there were no documented cases of a WWI Renault tank flipping over. I was rolling over all the time. He has fixed that, Thank goodness.

Yes, I have accidental rammed another tank that landed right next to me. I just run into him and he did flip over. It has happened to me only once that I can recall.

But I love shooting at another tank from very long distance or hitting another tank and is not visible. It is over a,hill. real cool.

Same here...I get lucky sometimes

The only thing that drives me nuts about the tanks is shooting a plane and it just keeps going .as for rolling one I've gotten good at shooting on my side .maybe I need training wheels on it

Is it just me, or have tanks got harder to bomb?
I used to be able to, but now it seems the bomb has to hit a lot closer.

But several of my good friends, Kevy and Swop, and others, encouraged me to your learn how to use them. The more I practiced the better I got. Now I have to admit, I enjoy being in tanks. I don't know how many kills I've gotten, but it's in the 100's.

Zup has listened to us, and made the tanks better, more competitive. They are slow, but you don't have to race anywhere.
What has been hard is to get the other players to understand that tanks can be a big asset in accomplishing our goal, of destroying a base or carrier.

When I'm flying, I slow down and help cover for a tank that is approaching an airfield or carrier.

See you on the field...
