RE: Tips from the Frontline
Great stuff, enjoyed the read.
You need infantry leading for the tanks to spot the way, as you learned. There is no substitute for knowing where the enemy is.
A T34/85 can take down a Tiger, especially if it has tungsten ammo, and an 85mm shell is quite a large shell and dangerous even on a partial penetration.
I know Spike likes his tank-heavy force ratios, but in a cover heavy map it can be beaten by a more balanced combined arms force. I would usually take a full infantry battalion as Germans.
Also you have to try and get to the flags first in my opinion. I know some disagree, but in my experience the situations where it is not worthwhile to grab the flags are few and far between.
