Tank self defense ::: bring it back!

Every other halo.

You can shoot enemies trying to board you…
In a tank…
Players are alot faster, they have perks to stay hidden.

Being able to shoot them with your tank to stop the instant kill.

At least have it so they have to carry 1 grenade to be able to insta kill?

Bring back meele board kills?

This was a thing in the previous Halo games?

They did bring that back. Shooting walls to splash-damage a boarder off you.

Unless you mean needing to melee a tank and mantis to break the hatch off before you can plant the grenade, in which case yeah they def should do that. Mantis got weakened so much between 4 and 5 :’(

Sage advice for over a year. Maybe it makes to much common sense.

Tanks are not really a force to be reckoned with anymore. You can outrun the slow and sluggish tank almost always and the grenade plant is an insta-kill. Maybe increase its resistance a bit by letting it take 2 nade hits?

It used to take 2, or at least 1 wasn’t enough.
You should posses at least 1 grenade to insta kill.

If you have no grenade, you have to meele.
(A spartan’s rear isn’t a magic satchel…)

AND… grenade/meele wasn’t automatic, you had to board than… choose to meele or nade manually!

You still need to have a nade on you if you want to use it while boarding in Halo 5. If you don’t have any nades you’re forced to melee.

Also grenading / melee isn’t automatic? You still need to board them and manually plant the nade or melee.

I don’t know how you came up with automaticly planting grenades you dont have… but that’s not a thing in Halo 5…

Halo 5 boarding is automatic.

Prior halo, you would board (press x) than plant or meele(bumpers), if you didn’t press a bumper you could ride indefinitely.

*I’ve never seen meele boarding in halo 5.
Just instant kills.

I’ve been boarded a few times by spartans who had no grenades, so he was forced to melee my tank. Usually they get shot off by someone or I manage to back into a corner and blast them off myself.

Melee boardings are still around. It’s pretty satisfying to punch the **** out of an enemy tank and watch it explode.

Yeah, but it sucks when you are in a tight situation and you board a tank and then realize that you don’t have a nade. Worst thing ever.

Yeah OP I have no idea what you are talking about with “Auto boarding” and “insta-kill”. That isn’t a thing in halo 5. “Press X to board” is still the case and without a grenade, you have to melee.

No it isn’t? You’d always have to press a following button to do an action after boarding?

The reason you’ve probably never seen it is because people want to get on and off as fast as possible. There’s no reason for you to ride indefinitely.

Even I’ve ridden a Mantis around for fun in Custom Games.

Considering I lose more, wraiths, tanks & mantises to boarding, rather than OTHER vehicles’ weapon fire, is concerning to say the least

I think the Mantis is much better now that you can’t board it from the front. Mmmmm… so many splatters…

Tanks can still be a devastating force if you don’t go it alone. If you spawn a tank alone and drive around without support you’re pretty much screwed, but if you spawn a tank and have 1 or 2 guys shadow your flanks you can absolutely destroy a team.

Again, Warzone is all about teamwork, just don’t tell 343 that ya know? Because having 6 idiots on your team makes perfect sense.

That was added in reach and you can do it in Halo 5 after the last update.

You do have to have a grenade in order to instant kill if you don’t you have to melee (though you have the option regardless)

No it isn’t. You still have to press x to board, then melee or grenade, and it’s a bit temperamental at that.

Halo 5 boarding is not automatic.

i’ve never been able to kill someone that boarded my tank by shooting a nearby wall to kill them with the splash damage in Halo 5. i thought they got rid of that but apparently you can still do that. If you still can then its way too inconsistent, unreliable and needs to be fixed.

i only use tanks in wzff, other wise those things are sitting ducks
