This isn't the biggest issue but it's really annoying, the Tetrach aims at infantry over tanks which completely ruins it usefulness unless you micro it extensively. If you try to circle strafe a Marder for instance it will continually decide to try and shoot Panzer Grens every time you click on the grund instead of shooting the tank. Could the devs change it's targetting priorities at some point to favour tanks?

whats the tank sopposed to be killing in the first place?
im just thinking maybe other people use it to kill infantry and they dont want to aim at tanks, because its meant to be killing infantry, know what i mean?

Maybe the Up-gun should change the priority tables for the Tetrarch to prefer vehicles and Medium tanks over infantry.

You wouldn't buy a Tetrarch to kill infantry (you would buy a Stuart or Staghound), it's main purpose (upgun or not) is to destroy vehicles. Personally I don't use the upgun because I only attack light armour with it.

Upgun is an uprade that just gives 300 percent penetration
It uses the same base gun, so you can't change the targetting priorities on just the up-gun.
Honestly, what it needs is to just get it's targetting priorities vs anything set to 50, and it'll target whatever you tell it to target - infantry or tanks.

cant there be a mark target ability, just so that your tank only will shoot on that unit above all.
becouse i thought it wanst possible to make it like:
you click on marder to attack, next you click on ground and circlestrafe it, and the tetrarch will keep the marder his target above all (like thers a red circle with an arrow above marder)

It is possible, make all tanks have a priority of 50 vs all targets, and they will target specificaly the target you tell it to.
You may even make it like a "hold fire" style ability(call it controled fire) that you could click, and it would set the targetting tables to 50 against everything, to be honest - you could either keep the tank's original targetting table, or chose to manualy select the targets at your own discretion. I'm pretty sure it's possible to code it in.

In that case it would be possible to circle strafe a pak while targetting a schrek squad, think about it.
Well, it's possible at the moment, but you need far more clicks.

So? The tetrarch is a (mini) tank destroyer, quite simply it should should target tanks and light armour without any unnecessary complication. Go and use it in it's in tended role of being a vehicle hunter and deal with the frustration of it turning it's turret constantly and never shooting anything at all. The Tetrach is like the M10, if it goes up against anything that can fight back like a P4 it will probably die but you expect to get a few shots off, except you can't even be sure of that if there's enough infantry around.

I like the equal priority thing for tanks, if it works as how you described it I think all tanks should function as such.

This, what?
That's what it does currently anyway since it targets infantry. Anyway why would you want to target the shreck squad given the Tets poor accuracy against infantry, when you could attack the PaK and destroy it.
I bet if M10's targetted infantry over tanks somebody on these forums would defend it.

This as in I agree with this. I can see it now, sherman circling a pak while raping its supporting shrek squad. Not exactly balanced. |

I circle your pak while killing your tank. Same concept. All that needs to be done is raise the targetting priority of tanks and vehicles over infantry. |

We are just asking for a change of target table for Tetrach tank because the its supposed to shoot vehicles over infantry. |

Actually you might be but I'm not. The Tetrach is not an anti-infantry tank whether it has the upgun or not. It is primarily meant to destroy vehicles either way.
