Using conscript or green tanks

[37mm]

I've been doing this for several weeks now & have enjoyed the resulting battles greatly.

I always thought long range shooting or shooting at moving targets was to easy... now it ain't!

It even helps when fighting 80mm STUG's in 43 because it's much easier for the T-34's to close the combat range.

The only problems perhaps are that ammo can run out & command delays are longer.

P.S.

Against conscript or Green Tanks, regular or veteran ATG's are very useful. This helps to counter the 'borg spotting' effect & make ATG's useful.

Buying Valentine IX's is an even better way to kill Stugs

I often buy green tanks as Sovs vs. Germans, because the numerical advantage that you get is often decisive. It's particularly helpful if the German player goes for vet/crack/elite, as this magnifies the numerical advantage.

I mean, sure in the book he writes after the war, the elite German tank commander will talk about how he slaughtered the Soviet tanks...while you, having won the battle, are busy trying to think up a russian name for Koenigsburg.

Unless you've been purged, of course.
