Tips from the Frontline

[McIvan]

Superb tutorial AAR as usual, well done :) I can see you are learning the hard way, but very quickly. It's the best way to learn, as long as you don't get discouraged.......you'll quickly be up there competing with the veterans.

Rate of Fire is a big factor in tank v tank actions. The second shot is much more likely to hit than the first, and so on. IS-IIs are slow firers, which puts them at a disadvantage. They tend to be more suited to "shoot and scoot" orders....exchange one shot apiece and retreat while you reload...if you can manage it. The T34/85s are the usual tank killers in the Soviet army.

82mm mortars are useless against armour. They can knock out armoured cars/halftracks with a direct hit, but that happens very seldom.

I know POS thinks you should have more armour and less infantry in a battle, but I would recommend you have a little more points in infantry and artillery. Try keeping some of your armour hidden and committing it only once you know where his armour is.
