The Great Santini Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Artillery and anti-aircraft units are ranged pieces, so I can deliver fire on units without them avoiding it. But how do you do it with anti-tank pieces. Enemy tanks won't fight them and they are vulnerable to other units. I can't deliver a shot to a tank that I am not next to and enemy tanks won't get next to them. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill101 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 If used passively they will just be taken out by enemy infantry and aircraft. Either put them on a place that he's aiming for with his tanks, or use them in the counter-attack role. They are virtually suicide weapons, but they can be pretty effective for counter attacks against weakened tanks, and as they are less than half the price of a Panzer it can be well worth it!

Moonslayer Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 As Bill says, they make ideal tank busters for when an opponent commits an armoured unit to an attack. I commonly place them a few tiles behind the enemy's objective (typically in Russia) then, once his tanks have cut off the retreat of their intended target I counter attack. The anti-tank unit goes in straight after the artillery/tactical bombers have softened up the armour. If they don't finish the job then the tank will be severely damaged and can be mopped up by even the lowliest conscripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
