Big Frickin Tank Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 I found it best to load all your troops in a building, then sneak them out into a forest then ambush an enemy platoon. But when I am trying to destroy bunkers without heavy artillery or tanks, i get wiped out. Any tips or sites with tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavScout Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 It's tough without arty or tanks support. You need to try and manuver to the flanks. The bunkers have relativly narrow firing arcs. Cav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popper Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 I like to smoke the front of them and rush up until I'm out of their fire arc. After that, the tac ai takes care of the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had smoked a bunker and just as my three squads arrived on scene, to the sides and behind th ebunker, the smoke cleared and my men were raped by flanking MG bunkers, broke and then FLED back to the start off points BACK in front of the bunker they just assulted!

109 Gustav Posted September 3, 2000 Share Posted September 3, 2000 If you have engineers, they carry satchel charges that can be used to blow up bunkers, if they get close enough. Maybe bazookas would work? ------------------ There is nothing certain about war except that one side won't win. -Ian Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelWeenie Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 Basic infantry can take out bunkers with grenades. The trick is getting them to the sides or rear of the bunker to work their magic. I have found that splitting your squads will help when confronted by MGs (bunkered or otherwise)in relatively open areas, since in CM they can only target one unit at a time (the TacAI will not 'area fire' when presented with a threat). Smoke never hurts, either. ------------------ Canada: Where men were men, unless they were horses. -Dudley Do-right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted September 5, 2000 Share Posted September 5, 2000 I had occasion to take out an AT pillbox with infantry last night. I had two squads behind the pillbox, within 10 meters or so, for several turns. They'd occasionally throw a grenade, but the pillbox stayed alive. I moved up a PIAT and got a rear door penetration, and figured that should make things easier, but several more turns elapsed. Finally, I moved the two squads right up next to the pillbox (I mean 1-2 meters away; to do this I had to turn off the pillbox display using ctrl-V and move the squads to the end of their targeting lines) and they knocked it out the next turn. So based on this one experience, I recommend getting a close as possible. ------------------ Leland J. Tankersley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
