"Gamey" tactics

[Rabbit]

Gerry brought up an interesting question about "gamey" tactics when he asked about vehicle protection, that I thought I might follow up on.

I have yet to encounter any PBEM players who would intentionally try to use "gamey" tactics for Squad Battles, nor I do remember ever seeing any chatter about it at this site, which makes me fully believe it isn't an issue at all. In large part, the game engine does a great job of preventing any "gamey" tactics. Really, I think the only concern is if people inadvertently were doing something they didn't realize might be considered gamey by someone else.

For instance, I myself had been wondering if anyone felt any of the following might be considered gamey:

1. Reassigning weapons between squads (e.g., a squad of eight taking over an MMG or a mortar from a squad of three men and giving them back AK47s to proactively avoid the risk of the heavy weapon becoming undercrewed, or reassigning a sniper rifle from a squad to their leader since the leader cannot get disrupted which would otherwise nullify the sniper bonus)
   
2. Using “Vehicle Only” fire against fortified positions to take advantage of the better penetration factor
   
3. Dropping radios, binoculars, nv googles, etc. to avoid being slowed down by them
