It'd be kind of wrong to get money for fixing battle damage on the same vehicle you kill stuff with. Don't get me wrong, I love me some TANK COMMANDER, just it'd be a bit TOO easy if you got money for repairs too. It'd add up over the course of a round.

Or they could require the presence of someone in the vehicle in order to get accolades, I think that's how they did it in battlefield as well. Repairing your empty vehicle = no points. Repairing someone else's full vehicle = points.

Ask yourself first why there's no vehicle kill assist, and you can whittle a tank's health down to 5% and get no points as a friendly finishes it off. _________________ "The grass just spoke chinese."

True,but this is less of a problem,because a lot of the time,a single guy isn't gonna kill a tank by himself,unless he is really good and doesn't get bothered.Its almost always a bunch of guys taking potshots at the tank that kills it. _________________
