Cant be done anymore. You used to be able to ricochet a rocket by hitting it from the rear opening...first hit would hit the outside pillar (or nick it, I should say) that would cause a few health damage, then when the actual rocket hit somewhere inside it would blow. I think they changed it when they took the one shot tank kills out.

However most Hummers, Vodniks, and Chinese Bakery Trucks sustain damage just by going over a bump or two....this makes them easy one shot targets.

I noticed they didn't mention shooting a tank with an AT rocket from underneath the vehicle - am I the on crazy bastardo that trys to pulls that shit off?

I did that the other day. I dont know if the tank was damaged prior but it did blow up. However it wasnt a one shot just under the front or rear because of the hill it came over i hit dead center.

There used to be a way to 1 shot tanks that doesn't work anymore. At least, for me. If you're right behind a tank, on foot, and hit the top of the tank behind the turret, it used to ricochet, if you aimed just right, and strike at the bottom of the turret once again. It seemed to act like 2 tread shots and instantly set it aflame or outright destroy it if it had at least 1 bar of damage. Damn, I miss that trick.

Ricochet shots works tank-on-tank. I learned this loooong ago. Align for a shallow angle shot off the top of a fender into the turret gap.

RICO-chet shots always kill. You just have to watch out for RICO. :9
