Well I have never played this genre before but the manual did mention that tanks cannot see infantry that well - they sent a tank into the front lines by itself went by a building where luckily I had an infantry unit but with NO AT anyway they charged the tank with grenades or something and wounded or killed a crewman and the thing ran off and ran into a AT gun's LOS so it was epic. Hopefully they won't panic when you support them with your infantry.

tanks always need infantry! had 2 HT and a tank not able to do anything because infants (pun intended) were taking pot shots at them! fire in general in the game shots is all over the place! nothing like real warfare! this game has a long way to go but it will get there!

'Tanks' are not generally vulnerable to rifle fire but infantry AT weapons like HEAT rifle grenades, bazookas, or close assault can panic crew members.

Some lightly armored vehicles like half tracks and armored cars can be penetrated by rifle or machine gun fire at close range but a 'tank' generally can't. What vehicle were you seeing panicked crew in?

Do you recall which vehicle(s) specifically or the battle you were playing?

Kasserine Pass - I had a tank climb over the ridge in the North. I only had a rifle unit and a BAR unit up there. The rifle unit was at point blank range, on top of the tank. They both ended up stationary and didn't move for the rest of the battle.

How can infantry defeat a tank? It must be impossible.
