Hi all
Been playing CM since CMBO, from my experience i would choose the following,
3 maybe 4 75mm PAK 40s, if the force mix is set to armored it will be 4. lay them out as jason says, also the crossing fire of each gun must cover other guns and infantry not just each other.
If i want big i will go for a single 150mm sIG but i would rather have 3 75mm IGs or 2 105mm howitzers because you can cover more of your line. but the positioning would be still in the rear area and opened up late on in the game as the infantry closes in. HC is just a nice added bonus if any tanks are still around to try and spoil the day.I would never buy any of the IGs or howitzers for AT duty.(execpt the 25pdr).
3 28mm sPzB. jason I take it you are refering to the 28mm heavy ATR ?? :confused:
Never considered these to take on light armor,I normally use a 37mm Flak plus 2 single 20mm, anything out side the penatration of these guns will fall to the 75mm Pak/40s, plus the 20mm and the 37mm can also be used as AA guns. I am going to test the ATRs for this role. The Russian AT rifles do well.
Quad 20mm Flak. i forgot about this baby not used it since CMBO. might try replacing the two single 20mms for 2 quads.
Every platoon gets a Panzerschreck and maybe a flamethrower.just for the fact that if something goes wrong and tanks are about to roll over yor infantry they have got something to fight back with.
for my armor i like a mix of AP tanks and AT tanks Ie 2 stug IIIG (for AT) and 2 Stug 42H (for AP), because tanks come into there own on the attack i like to use Tank Destroyers on the defence including all the thin crap, which isn`t all that crap. (they have better optics than normal tanks) and can be used quite efficiently with a bit of practice.
