I don't know about other Sykers, but this one would be making called shots for
specific weak points (just like I was trained to do in real life as a Cav Scout ).
So areas I would aim for would be ...say the gun sights (which usualy protrudes
above the top deck of the turret in a box with about 1" of armor, call the "Dog
House") or for a drive wheel on the tracks. After all, while those hits wont kill
the tank, they will prevent it from doing nasty things to you. (BTW...we spent
hours and hours learning to ID vehicles from there shapes and charateristics and
also what there weak points were.)
If anyone wants more weak point examples I wold be glad to provide it, just email
me (so we dont clutter up the list with a bunch of side junk)
