Scipio Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 The manual says about the 'Hunt' order: Move at medium speed, stop when enemy target spotted and engage enemy until destroyed or out of sight. That sound to me like something that can be done by infantery, too. Very interessting for AT-teams. I'm sure that has been discussed already hundret times, but...

Tiger Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 Because hunt is a vehicle w/gun command not an infantry command? Hunt replaces the sneak and crawl command that infantry have, but for vehicles basically. The infantry have move run crawl sneak All except crawl and run they will fire at enemies, sometimes even run when they slow down and start firing at uncovered enemies. Hunt would seem somewhat redundant. ~Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted January 18, 2001 Author Share Posted January 18, 2001 They do? Then I want to know why that damned AT-team don't stop and fire on the tank that was moving in 25 m away right in their LOS. Intead they run closer and get killed by the tanks machinegun... Before someone ask : YES, they realy could see the tank, and NO, they was NOT out of ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 AT teams are not the same as infantry weapons. It has a much slower rate of fire compared to rifles, smgs, etc. They can not fire on the move (i.e. from the hip) so you have to really plan their movements carefully. A hunt command would not help here either, as AT weapons are not generally fired "from the hip" as you move. Try moving your AT teams under cover and in smaller increments instead of like infantry. ~Tiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 I hate the fact that there isnt a command for "move forward and when you see the enemy stop and fire" (i.e. hunt). The closest that comes to this is Sneak but they only stop when fired upon. ------------------ Veni, vidi, panzerschrecki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggi Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 Another command that I would like is ...move forward and if you spot anything, stop, do not shoot unless fired upon. This would be good for recon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneak means do everything you can not to be seen and fire only if fired upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael emrys Posted January 18, 2001 Share Posted January 18, 2001 What I've done, and it's worked so far with me, is to stop my troops about 10-20 meters inside the tree line with a hide order. Then in the next orders phase, if no-one has opened fire on them I unhide them and either use them to provide overwatch for other squads, or advance them further. The same basic idea works in urban areas, or if over open ground in folds and depressions that provide some cover from direct fire.
