#1

Make sure to give [your tank] a move order before its turned out of control. This seems to help ensure that a OOC engine destroyed tank will circle around for a LONG WHILE. While it does so, both the mg and the main gun will auto-target the enemy.


#2

While a tank is out of control, it is dangerous. If you however have a safe way to put a vehicle in its path, colliding with another tank will make the OOC tank explode, and stop the zombie gun. Even a jeep can do this. OOC tanks can crush inf, dont try that.

#3

You can use cheap units to destroy roads, when you have defend. Sending a fast unit up their road may trigger several spawn arty barrages, creating yellow cover on red cover roads. This breaks up the pathing of the tank, and slows down their first unit and any road-using reinforcements for the entire game.

#4

Recrewing a MG weapon entity resets the supression ability of bars on the remaining rifle squad. The same might be true for g43s, but for natural reasons less viable.

#3 The same thing can be accomplished with a couple of well placed Tank Traps or Hedgehogs, which is useful for when you've not got a disposable unit on hand. Doesn't work for heavy-crush units, but it's an uncostly alternative.

----------------------------------------------------

#6

You can extend the max range of most weapons by using attack ground - the round can potentially scatter over your max range and into your desired target.

#7

The old favourite, certain thick bushes and tree clusters can be shot through using attack ground, a good example would be either of the large tree clusters near to the town on Tanteville. Note that one or two smarter map makers mix proper hedges into the tree clusters to prevent this.

#8

Recoilless Rifles have the same penetration front and back on all targets, there's no need to spend time and effort flanking.

#9

Suppression abilities also increase suppression of thrown weapons, for example using BAR suppression fire will cause any thrown grenades to suppress squads so long as the ability is active. (Unsure if we patched it, but pretty certain it still works)

If a player from oposite team BC'ing a game make sure you watch his BC. You can alt+tab during game once in a while and see what your enemy has and arange lol charge at week points of his side lol

#11 - Check Corsix (or ask a member/dev that can) to find out the stats of your units--some will perform surprisingly well outside of their intended role (such as the Hetzer, which, as it has been explained to me, has only an 11% lower chance to hit an infantryman than a Sherman), which can make your company more versatile.

#12 - Sabotage crew weapons--if you have a spare mine and there is an abandoned ATG that you don't need, put a mine next to it. With luck, it will detonate and kill the infantry trying to recrew it, the ATG itself, or both!

#13 - If sitting on the border of two sectors, you can use the facing order (by click-dragging) to orient a squad so that they have at least one member in each of the two (or more) adjoining sectors--this will allow one squad to hold them all!

#14 - Sticky bombs are excellent anti-ATG devices--you can sticky an enemy Pak or ATG (if it is crewed) and take off roughly 33% of its health with a single sticky detonation. Fausts are a viable alternative and can also be used against mortars and MGs, but can end up missing their target.

#15 - ATGs are wonderful for taking down ambient buildings (over the course of a minute or two). If you don't have the tools to assault a squad of troops in a building, don't bother--just take down the building from afar.

#16 you can double stack mines by giving both orders before the first one has started to build

Fucking stream snipers.

17# If you're not sure what to purchase in the lanucher, buy few scouting units (like jeeps or kettens). Scouting always was and still is the best counter to most of the problems.

Ah the good old instagib rangers with firecrackers.

18# Look up old metas and abuse them, people cant counter what they dont expect.

19# If you are playing THs you can throw AT nades on a teller to detonate it to kill any pesky infantry thats sitting on top of it.

#20 every callin less then 8 pop extends your reinforcement timer drastically.

#21 it only takes 1 mine to make the enemy team cautious

Needed a tip how to win a game with Smokaz being on the team tbh

[chefarzt]

Mute him on teamspeak.

Tell Smokaz that he is your friend, and that you believe in him. A little positive reinforcement can go a long way.

#22 dropping parachuting units at the edge of the playable area of a map reduces drift drastically

[Hicks58]

Deleted the ridiculously off topic posts.

Keep it on track or I lock it and move on.

#23 suppression reduces damage of the units in question.
