Sorry I take full responsibility for this childish act. You were camping the tank and farming on Scrap Metal so I changed your name. Was going to change it back at the end, but you left.

Aye, we know of its worth, yet in knowing we then attach to it a value, we guard the giving of it, believing it must be earned. Compassion is priceless in the truest sense of the word. It must be given freely. In abundance.”

Hi, thanks for the reply.
My main aim on using the tank was to destroy the gun turrets one at a time.
If this is "farming" then i apologise, but that was not my intention.

Regarding Scrap Metal: Link Guns outdps the tank by a significant margin.

Oh how true! If only we could make all understand this fact. Link gun is the most underrated weapon in ut. It is quickly becoming my all time fav.

There are several different approaches to completing this obj. So far I believe the best tactic is rush.

Tank rush in and take out the side turret(one of the turrets, I think the left is 100 hp less then the rest)

While tank rushes in have the rest of the team shadow behind using tank as cover. Then when able to shoot link gun turrets or when tank is destroyed .. Then do as much damage to the link turrets. Try to target what everyone else is targeting to make sure they loose at least one turret as they can heal each other.

Just keep doing the above till there all destroyed. Then link up and keep rushing with tank to the acid bath.

Facts:
1. Mini gun turrets are pointless. They are easily defeated with one tank shell or simply ignoring them.
2. Waiting for linkers is a waste of time. Just keep rushing people on foot can move faster then the tank.

If you're not familiar with the term "outdps", then put more simply: shooting a target with a single Link Gun will destroy it more quickly than shooting at it with a tank. When you start linking a Link Gun wielder instead of linking the tank so that they can farm a high score, there's no comparison: the tank can't compete with the raw damage output. Noob teams which try to use the tank to destroy the turret, with all the noobs in the back linking the tank, either fail the objective completely or take ages to complete it compared to teams smart enough to use the Link Gun.
