Soviet tanker/SMG integration

[Dog Soldier]

I tend to agree with VM's last post. The Soviet SMG units when riding tanks were not much use in a long range fight. Their job was to close with the enemy and assault. I would only adjust the assault values in this case.

There is the problem of the basic defensive tactic, which was to use infantry weapons to separate the infantry supporting the tanks from the tanks. As the interviewee said, the tankers did not try to coordinate with the SMG unit. The tankers maneuvered and hoped the SMG troops kept up. I would go so far as to interpret this to mean if the infantry got pinned, even temporarily, the tanks would still press the attack without them.
