mmm, didn't read most of it. saw the killing teammates and the though 'that is what panzer is all about' hit me.
Run and shove on the panzers aiming at the ground. shoving into teammates = lolz.
kamikazeeing with panzer is just easier than kamikazeeing with nades, which is easier than pulling out a smg to kill that enemy medic with more hp than you and years more et experience. if everyone was easier to kill, we wouldn't need panzers. Thus, i propose setting max hp for all classes to 1 and disabling any explosions - because everyone deep down thinks field ops explosions are lame and stop you running through an area for way too long.
On a side note, bring back adrenalin. Then no one will bitch about panzers. I liked adrenalin. Gave me some motivation to run and get the gold crates on gold rush. Now I figure it's more fun to just sit up on the bridge and camp the main axis spawn exit at tank barrier 2. also, adrenalin makes it easier to get out of your camped spawn. adren and run like hell. makes it lots harder for you to die, unless you're mentally retarded, in which case you deserve to die (ingame death, not real death. Don't want human rights people abusing me for saying mentally unfit people are a drain on society's resources etc).
More serious response:
It's gay, but it's the easiest way for them to get a kill. Which is why they went panzer in the first place - easy kills. I prefer r-nade in general (due to the lovely engineer charge time on the server, and the lack of charging up delay, though I do miss the awesome panzer firing sounds almost every time I click), but r-nade is a fair jump in skill from panzer. Sure, they're both noob weapons, but everyone knows panzer is significantly more noob. r-nade kamikazee = hard for the unskilled.
No settings are really gonna change this though. Enabling make love not war just means the other team is going to get angry at the arse on their team stealing the panzer and not using it. Which will hopefully result in that player getting kicked after refusing to give someone else the panzer, which technically means that enabling make love not war will get rid of the true panzer noobs. /flawless logic
But yeah, lets have adren. I prefer it to lack of it. It makes the pro meds better, but if adren is on, I have an incentive to go pro med. And if it is getting overused, you could slightly lower medic charge time which should lessen the power of medics in long-term camping as it reduces the amount they can pack. Thus, everybody wins if adren is turned on!!!
