Hi Low Bidder,

Both ATk guns and tanks are best against AFVs but the similarity stops there. Use them completely differently.

ATk guns are for ambushes and op-fire. Sometimes I set them for op-fire, sometimes I turn the range down to almost nothing, so that on my turn I can fire all 5 shots at spotted targets. But as soon as the ATk gun is spotted, it’s time to move it to a new ambush.

Tanks are not for ambushes or op-fire. Move them out, pick a target, fire a shot or three and then get back behind cover.


I don’t have much experience with MBT, but if you use tanks and ATk guns in WW2, as described above, you won’t go far wrong.

Keep your tanks behind an infantry screen, as a general rule. Then they can move out, engage enemy infantry and tanks with AP, HE and MGs, then get them back into cover.


Armoured charges are still highly dangerous in SPWW2, as they should be.

Without getting into exact percentages, a first op-fire shot doesn’t have great accuracy and will probably miss; a second is far more deadly; a third is more dangerous still. Which is realistic IMHO.

And as said before, a stationary shooter has much better accuracy (in WW2). Another reason to use ATk guns for op-fire, but not your tanks. Your tanks have mobility, use it to keep them moving and shooting low percentage shots during your turn.


I doubt there’s a bug in the op-fire routine.

You could do some experiments to see if you can figure it out.
