Per my video description -

Tired of the tank owning you? Tired of getting a car blocking your exit to the level? Fear no more! With the help of a handy propane tank you could be on your way to tossing a tank off the 28th story of a hospital. Enjoy!

Too situational to be actually useful :\

Misleading topic title is misleading.

Warskullx · 12-04-2008, 02:16 PM

A good trick to keep in mind. Can probably be applied in other ways too. You could probably bait a tank into falling for it on No Mercy 5 too.

I'd say about 2/3 of the time when I get a tank on that level, it's at that point. Hardly ever are they by the elevator or on the first floor.

The propane tank is always there too.

Topic title isn't misleading because I put (28th floor hospital) there.

JTG · 12-04-2008, 02:18 PM

Heh. That was interesting. Tank took someone with him though so I'd say you came out about even.

n30neuromancer · 12-04-2008, 02:19 PM

How is the title misleading? One shotting a tank on the 28th floor of the hospital.

And yeah it's situational but in that situation its awesome. Thanks TC.

Looked played out, probably Will never happen in a real game

Memphis Life · 12-04-2008, 02:30 PM

Looked like the tank just was following Bill down to wherever he landed. I doubt the tank died seeing as how boss zombies don't take fall damage. I have headshotted a witch with the hunting rifle sitting right on the edge of the hospoital in no mercy 5. Took about 20 seconds for her to fall all the way down. All of a sudden I get You alerted the witch! Now I have no clue where the hell she is going to be coming from so I just climbed to the tallest spot I could find and starte dlooking. Somehow that ♥♥♥♥♥ snuch up behind me and sent my ♥♥♥ flying off the roof lol. Was pretty funny and ironic.

But yea I doubt you one shot that tank. He was just chasing after Bill to finish him off. The damn tank didn't even move from the blast he just kept running after Bill lol.

Can you headshot a tank? I mean, I don't expect it to die from one headshot, but does a headshot deal out more damage to a tank?

Well this certainly looks amusing...

Looks like the explosion made him fall off, not one shotting him.

Scuzball · 12-04-2008, 02:47 PM

I don't think the tank is affected by headshots.

The player was considered "dead" long before the tank walked off. Propane makes him stagger, I could totally see this happening.

There was one shot fired. The tank died.

Naysayers!

Silicon Vampire · 12-04-2008, 02:56 PM

I don't know... I set up a tank in a narrow hallway, set the propane tank right in the center of it.

Got the tank to follow me, turned around when a good distance away and popped off the propane as he walked over it.

Two shotgun blasts from a bit of a distance later, I got the tankbuster and man vs tank achievements.
