netrat Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I'm a total newbie and I couldn't find an answer in the other topic's. Question,can regular infantry knock out a medium sized tank with just issued weapon's other then AT weapon's? What are the smallest weapon's that can be effective against a Tank? Thank's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Regular infantry with nothing more powerful than grenades (or molotovs) can knock out a tank, but you need a fair amount of luck to do it, and you should expect a fair number of caualties even if you are successful. You have a better chance against lighter tanks (less armor, smaller gun so it can't supress the assaulting infantry as easily), open-topped vehicles (obvious vulnerability to grenades here), and turretless AFVs (if you can get around behind them, it takes them a long time to rotate and bring their gun to bear). If you are in a position where you really need to close assault a tank with infantry, I advocate using at least 2, and if possible as many as 4, squads to assault the tank from multiple angles and so 'swamp' it's guns. Cheers, YD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Definitly. Taking on anything other than light armor with regular infantry is a platoon mission. Although a squad can do it, don't count on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
