CMBB v CMAK

[Mike Abberton]

Yes soviet engineers are the way to go for close assaulting tanks.

Also on soviet tanks - On the bad side, the optics on soviet tanks are worse than the western allies, so don't try to long-range duel German tanks, and they have a tendency to reverse away from Panzers even in cases where they are noticeably superior/immune to the German tank (e.g. KVs versus PzIII/37). Better crews will reduce this, but it still happens sometimes.

- On the good side, not only do Soviet tanks usually have a lot of HE, they quite often also get a lot of cannister rounds which can be devastating if you catch the other guys infantry out in the open. They are not always smart about when to use cannister versus HE, but watching entire German squads fall in one shot is always amusing to the Soviet commander.
