When plattoning with Doc, bide your time, he will draw the fire
of every red tank in the vicinity which will allow for counter
fire and many kills as he explodes in fiery glory!

Okay folks, sorry to put on the Daddy pants here, but enough
with the trolling. The event staff is not going to go through
the eventual 20 pages of bs to get to the actual tips. But
thanks for the bumps. And no they are not on my genitals.

When a lemming train happens, do not try to defend the empty
flank(s) by yourself. Instead support the train and try to
keep it moving. Try to use your tank and your tanking ability
to support/lead the train.
Heavy: Get to the head of the train and make sure they don't
stop. Play aggressive and make sure the lemmings see you doing
that. Lemming trains will stop at the first sign of enemy fire.
Keep moving.
TD: High armor TD, then get to the front of the train and PUSH
with the heavies. Glass cannon, then anticipate where the train
is going and get set up to hit the resistance they will
encounter ASAP.
Medium: Stay with the train help to spot, and once they meet
their first resistance, get ready to flank.
Light: Provide vision to the lead tanks in the train, once they
get mixed in, make sure you are keeping an eye out for flanking
reds or reds trying to attack the caboose.
Arty: MOVE. You will not be able to hang out in your favorite
spot. The reds will find an exposed flank and will be in the
spawn quickly. Get to a place behind the train where you can
set up safely.
The secret is to keep the morale of the train high. Don't let
them get scared or taken by surprise.

Hummm... good advice, but I usually cover the rear by going
slightly in the opposite direction when in a fast tank, that way
I can spot the flank take a couple pops, and draw the reds
towards the train. Depends on the map however.

ahhh...James so there's method to your madness!
i just thought your tank needed alignment and that was why we
kept peeling off toward the middle...
Not that I would ever complain; I live longer following you than
being Maddog's meatshield :troll:

Someone read the thread instructions!! :thumb:
Great advice Fif......one day i will need to do this......one
day, soon, very soon :sad:
I main reasons i go to the undefended side are.......
1) Farm damage
2) Help the team by trying to delay the inevitable push
3) A way too high estimate of my tanking skills
4) An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope

I can certainly imagine scenarios where going to the undefended
flank is a smart move. But I think they may be the exceptions
not the rule? If you are top tier with VERY favorable MM. The
undefended flank has a VERY narrow choke point. Or you can get
a couple of good tank drivers to go with you. But defending
this flank should really be an exercise in slowing the reds
down, not necessarily destroying them. You won't survive, but
that doesn't mean to just throw yourself in front of them like a
speed bump. Protect your hit points and do your best to make a
fighting retreat. Track them. Fire HE as suppression. If you
go into game chat, don't curse the lemmings out. Encourage them
to keep moving while you hold the reds back as long as you can.
