Learn how to counter anti-tanks in Battlefield 1942. Discover their tactics, weaknesses, and advantages other classes have.
Anti-tanks are specialized units designed to destroy tanks. Tanks must be wary of anti-tanks, particularly those that attempt to hide. If an anti-tank does not hit a tank from behind, the tank can typically locate and destroy the anti-tank with relative ease.
Ships are immune to damage from anti-tank bazookas. While planes can be destroyed by anti-tanks, it is exceedingly rare and requires the bazooka to hit the plane directly on its top surface.
Most classes in Battlefield 1942 possess an advantage over the anti-tank. Assault and medic classes are particularly effective at eliminating them. Engineers can use their rifles, and snipers hold a long-distance advantage.
Anti-tanks typically employ one of two primary tactics:
- They will use their bazooka to attempt to eliminate you, followed by their pistol to finish you off if necessary.
- Alternatively, they will approach closely and use grenades against you.
If you are playing as an anti-tank confronting another anti-tank, you can utilize either of these tactics, as both are quite effective.
- Tanks should prioritize destroying hidden anti-tanks before they can inflict damage.
- Anti-tanks are most vulnerable when they miss a tank's rear armor.
- Planes are very difficult targets for anti-tanks; a direct hit on the top is required for destruction.
- Ships cannot be damaged by anti-tank bazookas.
- Assault, medic, engineer, and sniper classes all have advantages when facing anti-tanks.
