Call of Duty: World at War, also known as Call of Duty 5, employs a Rank and Challenge system that you might compare to the character leveling system in a role playing game. The third set of challenges is called Vehicles and mainly focuses on getting kills either while driving a vehicle or blowing one up. Completing these will help you earn experience points toward increasing your rank and unlocking better weapons and accessories, plus some new challenges.
Turret MG Expert I-III – Kill enemies with a tank’s turret gun.
This one is pretty tough because being a turret gunner is suicide. You sit up there all exposed and unable to move around, and snipers love to pick them off. Even the next challenge involves killing the turret gunner, so watch out!
Turret Hunter I-III – Kill the turret gunner of a tank without destroying the tank.
The turret gunner is pretty easy to take out with a sniper rifle or even machine gun, provided you hit them from the back or side. If you try to take them head on, you better shoot fast. If the tank is not already smoking from damage, a well-placed RPG hit will also take out the gunner.
Behemoth I-III – Kill enemy infantry with the main gun of the tank.
This one is a lot of fun because getting to drive the tank sort of makes you invincible against puny machine gunners, at least for a little while. It helps to right click the mouse to better aim the gun, because your shot can easily be deflected by debris on the field. I wish this game did more for concussion damage because you just about need to make a direct hit to take out a foot soldier, and that’s not very realistic.
Tank vs. Tank I-III – Finish off enemy controlled tanks with the main gun of the tank (shot kills the tank).
The key here is to find an enemy tank that is already damaged. You can tell how hurt they are by how much smoke is pouring out the back of them. Remember the weakest points on the tank are the backside and the tracks, so place your shots carefully.
Anti Tank Rockets I-III – Finish off enemy controlled tanks with the bazooka (shot destroys the tank).
Pretty much the same advice here as the Tank vs. Tank challenge. Just don’t let the tank driver kill you in the process.
