best example for a panzer noob I just stumbled over yesterday: GoldRush, I am playing axis, the Bank is already breached, we spawn and catch two allied medics running through our spawn, after a short SMG firefight with 1 allied medic already down our panzer noob decides to help us, charges his PF and… 1 dead allied medic, 5 dead axis teammates. Great Shot!
Dont forget
“panzernoob” oblitarated himself 
well think about it… it’s pretty much one shot one kill weapon… point click… win
there’s really no draw backs to the panzer… you move slow and reload time could be a while but by then you can switch to your hand gun and all the guys in hte area should be dead from your blast anyways
the draw backs to it’s power are too great
maybe have it so you have to stand still and crouch to fire it so you’re at least and open target for a split second
A little chat today on railgun (I was the only panzer on my team and axis had 5 medics):
Blasted Medic: noob panzer
me: n00b m3d1c
after that, 2 axis medics switched to panzers 
i think the problem is a lot people don’t know you can cancel a panzer while it’s being charged, by leaning left or right (i only discovered this 2 weeks ago! :bump: )
Panzers can be crucial to your team. If you are playing a 6 v 6 clanwar, and the panzer takes out 2 in one shot, it makes 6 v 4. This way you can outnumber the enemy, with a medic at the back reviving everyone who dies.
I have to say, after reading the entire thread, I have come to the following conclusions
I mostly play as medic, and consider myself to be good at it, a teamplayer, high fragger, almost always get best medic jadajada, the only thing I find annoying is if there are too many panzers in a map, that is truly irritating because you can’t step anywhere without getting blasted
and btw what’s that shit about prioritys as a medic?? of course I always revive another medic first if there are several wounded in one place but damn, who cares which player it is?? you get as much xp anyway and that’s basically all you need to worry about
finally, I like panzers because they are easy kills, can’t believe you complain, and as another user said, nothing in ET is as satisfactory as shooting at a defenseless panzerguy
peace everyone

How much XP you get for it doesn’t matter one jot, how it effects the performance of your team at that point in time is what really counts.
For my 0.02 monetary units, each class has their place in the game (except maybe soldier with just SMG … hello? not useless but just what’s the point?) and equally most classes also have places in the game where they’re just next to useless. Doesn’t matter how good a shot you are, or how many people you kill, if you’re in the wrong place and doing the wrong thing it ain’t helping your team. That goes for all classes. Same also goes for XP, what’s the point in seeing how much XP you can get by continually blowing a command post if your team is going nowhere?
dons his flame-retarded suit and waits

xp wh0re -.-
Yep, going great guns there (apart from the dig at Piggy, who strikes me as an OK guy, mostly 
), then you shoot yourself in the foot with this comment
which thereby renders anything you have to say meaningless
Idd with ya there Kendle
Judging from the fact you posted this it seems it is infact, you who thinks you know all. Got a problem with me? Smb tbh.
2 things to rip here. Too many panzers? Quite obviously playing on the wrong servers if there allowing more than 1 panzer per team. Blaim the server admins for that. And how can you say ‘cant step anywhere without getting blasted’ after you also claim:
… easy kills my ass then.
Lastly,
‘That shit about prioritys?’ then you say you always revive another medic first if theres others wounded which just shows that shit about prioritys you actually follow yourself. Tho, you then contradict yourself 100% by stating you dont care which player it is? Fuck sake, would you mind making sense to yourself first then maybe others can too? Ill hold no comment on the xp comment, as Kendle said, it just took away anything right or correct from whatever you have just posted.
Fyi clawda. All my posts come from a competitive pov unless otherwise stated. I dont give 2 shits for any public server or public only players. I play games for the way there supposed to be played… fun, enjoyable, teamwork and so on, the usual lark and I feel and find that this is only possible through clan matches as none of the above comes from public play, on any server.
At the end of the day tbh, is this bitching and whining about a weapon going to do anything for ET? No. As far as im concerned, ETMain is now ETMain and it will never change. If you want something done about the Panzer get on ETPro’s forum and ask Bani to do something about it. Finally, no one asks you or forces you to play the classes you do or the way you play. The same goes for other players and regardless of what you do, say or think other players will still think the same way and play how they want. If a Panzer player wants to Panzer than he will. I certainly wont change class because someone calls me lame or a whore. The same goes that I wouldnt expect someone to change class if I was to class them as a whore/lame etc. If you have a problem with the way the game is going on a server regarding the players and such, leave the server and delete it from your browser or if it is that much of a problem complain to the admins of the server. Its that simple.

Going off at a tangent somewhat, if you want to talk real “noob” weapons let’s talk about Rifle 'nades. 
The one saving grace of the Panzer (for everyone else) is that it takes 800ms to warmup, giving you time to drop the guy before he gets a shot off. In a straight 1-v-1 with a Panzer you should never lose. The only time they get you is if they take you by surprise, in which case gg them for being sneaky.
Rifle 'nades on the other hand require no warmup. As long as the guy actually has 'nade attached he can hit +attack as soon as you start shooting at him, and, provided he’s pointing vaguely in your direction, you’re dead. Instant revenge weapon!

Yep. Only thing I find being a problem when Panzer is Riflenades.
Even worse when theres 2 Engys with em.
Awww shucks guys, you know you love me really! picks up halo and gives it a quick polish
Thing with rifle 'nades is that they’re a great beginner weapon, but like panzer, using them properly is an art. How many people do you know that can take out a sniper on the hill on Fuel Dump from on the dump wall (Croaker can do it from behind a door no less). Problem with them is that they’re a liability if not used correctly, not only to yourself but also team mates … crap … more later … runs back to work!
Hey, us pub only players have feelings too you know!
Does that mean you stopped playing on the SD server?
IRT topic:
All weapons are noob weapons in the right hands.
The frustrating thing about panzer/rifle nades is that even single-kill/suicide-newbies manage to gib with them - something most of them wouldn’t even consider ‘wasting’ bullets on. :moo:
All weapons are noob weapons in the right hands.
I agree… the one which gets me is the guy who sits mortaring for 5 minutes, then asks ‘how do you aim the mortar?’

Supposed to be played? I don’t think SD developed the game to be a clan only affair. And I don’t know (does anyone?) the percentages, but I’d stake money that the large majority of players pub only. And fwiw, the pub I usually play on has a lot of regulars, and we have a lot of fun, work as team, and manage to get quite a few ‘visiting players’ to join in the teamwork - which is very enjoyable!
And clawda, this is an open forum to discuss your views, but that does not include flaming others on the forum. Capish??
I don’t think SD developed the game for Clans at all. I think they only ever considered how it would play on pubs, which probably explains why there’s no server-side option to switch off XP, for example. And I’d bet money (though not necessarily mine) that the majority (though not necessarily large) of players are pub only. But if you think you’ve experienced teamwork on a public server, multiple that feeling by 100 and you’ll start to come close to beginning to understand what playing in a Clan is like.

Could be true, but as I have never clanned, can’t say. But what I can say is that we have had a few clans visit the server, and we have ended up with maybe 6 of our regulars against them, and they have all been surprised by the level of teamplay going on for a ‘non clan’. Guess we all play too much…
Sheesh.
I said the games are to be played to be fun, enjoyable, teamwork. Not Clanned. I clearly stated that I feel and find it is possible through clans.
Kendle, no, I still play pubs… I just dont enjoy it…
