How to deal with groups of tanks?

[Moss Orleni]

Hi Andrew,

Since you mentioned the height difference a couple of times: all vehicles in the Vehicles.txt have an armor value for High/Medium/Low sides.
How should this be read? Since for all vehicles, High<Medium<Low, it seems logical that these heights should be interpreted as elevation differentials between firer and target. Or is Low just the base value (ie same height) and Medium and High 2 degrees of height difference in both directions (ie up and down)? Or even another interpretation?
And do you have any idea when the elevation difference kicks in, I mean what should be the elevation difference to switch from fi Low to Medium armor value?

So many questions...[:)]

Cheers,

Hello everyone,

I have played many CC games, but i was not a fan of CCIV because you could pick you troops for battle. now with WAR, that changes it, and I am having lots of fun. I have a question though. I am playing the campaign on the american side, and there are lots of battles where the germans have 4-5 tanks, and the americans have none. What do you do here? I can sometimes pick off 2-3 at the most with very well placed AT guns, and well hidden infantry, but the remaining tanks destroy everything. And I can only do that with extream patience, letting the germans move around while I have everything on ambush, not giving away any positions until a tank is close. As soon as my troop gives away his position, he is demoilished by others. What ways do you guys deal with lots of enemy tanks on the battlefield? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance

Usually when I am overpowered I try to cut the unit off. Once cut off all you need to do is immobilize a tank then pick a new tank to go after. When cut off, immobilized (from direct or indirect fire, not lack of fuel) tanks have a low chance of coming back next round. For the forward American BGs with only zooks and engineers this is your best chance of survival.
