Separate sub-forum for tanks and AT assets?

[SEAR]

Good idea. I'll consider it, thanks!

[SEAR]

I could. But the thread "disappears" in a big groups such as "The Dead Zone" quickly. Moreover I'm not sure there are any tankers or AT crews left over here.

[SEAR]

In US, it is (sadly) pretty much what you described. Simple and pretty much the same launchers for tanks and anti-tank, foam rockets agains tanks and fortifications only, little innovation in the past 20 years afaik :/

Where could someone view said videos?

[KingxSlinky666]

What are tanks and AT's actually using for launchers these days? I almost only see Havoks and from what I've picked up on most fields ain't really allowing homemade launchers?

For what its worth I think Tank and AT would fall under the "Custom Projects" or "DIY tech" fourms, I would love to see this kinda stuff on here.

You could just start with a tank/AT thread like this one.

Use to have one of those got it stolen at EMR. Now I got a havoc it’s a lot easier to aim.

I dont see why there could at least be a post trying to regroup discussion on tank and AT
and if there is enough interest in it you could check with a mod to create a sub section with pictures, build thread and discussion

You can start one here and see how it goes.

I thought it was a cool idea . For what it’s worth.

[SEAR]

OK, I see that a dedicated sub-forum is not a feasible idea at this time. It is a pity, as some tankers and AT crews are using FB or other channels that do not serve the same purpose as a discussion forum. An exchange of ideas is almost not happening there. So maybe in a while.

That there is a Purdy Anti-Tank/Bunker weapon.

I can’t support another section until every visits the sidearm sub forum and does their pasta duty.

Soulcrusher was mine although in reality I spent a lot more time on foot hunting tanks that I did in mine.

I did not make my Blazer into a dedicated paintball tank, so it was not the most effective one there. As I type this it is sitting in my driveway waiting to take me to another game this weekend. It is completely street legal if not somewhat Mad Max-ish.

Man, I love this thing. I've been wanting to build something along these lines for a loooong time.

Here are some random thoughts about the vehicle on which to base a paintball vehicle.

IMHO, the worst mistake people make when starting a paintball tank build is buying the cheapest chassis possible. That usually means it will have mechanical problems that will invariably show up at the worst possible times. Pay a little more and buy a reliable vehicle in good mechanical condition. No matter how you deck out the platform with cool turrets, etc., if it is mechanically unreliable you will spend more time fixing it than shooting crunchies from it.

Evaluate the field(s) on which you will be using the tank. If it is rough, spend the extra for 4wd.

While I know it is not a sexy option, vans are inexpensive and have a lot of room for all sorts of fun stuff.

Last, consider if you will ever use it for anything else. Mine is a ZR2 Blazer that I drive to games, put a superstructure onto for netting for use during the game, and then remove to drive home in after the game is over. I use it every week to drive around town. Pretty much everything works on it, including the AC and cruise control.

Wash it promptly after the games. Just figure in the cost of a portable pressure washer as part of the build. You will thank me for it later.
