First I would admit with all the firepower available to infantry, most tanks and AFVs are toast pretty quickly. That said I have been able to use the Sheridan/T62? to good effect on Flaming Dart lately (it's all I have been playing). The rate of fire appears to be a lot faster on BFV tanks for one thing so that is a plus. Also they are a bit quicker (as in quick like a PzIV). That said there is still the issue that you pretty much have to HIT them with your shots. Not liking that much. A tank shell is damn powerful and if one detonated next to you, you would go flying.

As for the aircraft I am seeing people really KICKING BUTT with the Mig17. Rather funny considering it's despription in the game text as an outdated and outclassed fighter. This is probably due to the fact that the Mig17 can dogfight better and seems to have a really good climb and turn rate. I was able to start a game last night and had 8 kills in the first few minutes. Before that flight I didn't really like the Mig17 much.... hehe
