Medium Armored Tanks

Learn how to take down Medium Tanks in Battlefield 1942. Get tips for infantry, anti-tank soldiers, jeeps, planes, ships, and more.

Alright, let's talk about Medium Tanks in Battlefield 1942. These guys are tough, but they've definitely got some weak spots you can exploit, whether you're in a tank yourself, on foot, or in another vehicle. The biggest thing to remember is that their rear armor is way less tough than the front. Keep that in mind!

If you're infantry: Your best bet is to avoid getting caught by a tank in the first place. If you do find yourself in a tight spot, try to hide. If you see a tank smoking, you *could* try tossing a grenade at it, but be warned: that's going to give away your position real fast. If you're playing as an anti-tank class, your goal is to wait for the tank to pass you, exposing its rear, and then take your shot. Don't try to go head-to-head unless it's already spotted you.

If you're in a jeep: Your best move is usually just to drive away. However, if you're feeling brave and can get behind it, ramming a tank from behind with your jeep can actually do some damage!

If you're in a tank: You've got a couple of options. You can go head-on, or you can try to be sneaky and flank it to hit its weaker rear armor. Just remember, your missiles are your best bet for taking down another tank.

If you're in a plane or on a ship: You're in a great position to really mess these tanks up. Planes can destroy them with bombs, though their regular shots usually won't do much. Ships have the firepower to take them down pretty easily. Even anti-aircraft guns, if you can aim them low enough, can be surprisingly effective.

Other ways to take 'em down:

• Bazookas: A direct hit from behind with a Bazooka will take one of these tanks out in a single shot. Sneaking up is key!
• Grenades: While not as powerful as a Bazooka, grenades can still damage tanks and even turn them a bit. They're especially useful if you see an enemy tank duking it out with a friendly one – a well-placed grenade can throw off their aim.
• Rocket Jeeps: The rockets on these specialized jeeps are designed to take down armored vehicles, so they're a solid choice.
• Landmines and TNT: If you can set up an ambush, landmines and TNT packs are very effective.
• Kamikaze: And yes, in a pinch, a kamikaze run can definitely get the job done, though it's a one-way trip! ;-p

So, remember to use the environment, know your vehicle's strengths, and always aim for the rear when you can!
