Tank maneuvers

[blazej]

Hi,

I was wandering if there is a way in CC to:
1. Order a tank to move in reverse.
2. Coordinate a tank's movement with movement of an infantry squad. When I select them both, and order them to move somewhere, the tank always outpaces the infantry.

Best,
Michal

Re: 1. yes. Place a regular move command directly behind the tank. Try it a close distance behind, say 10m-20m at first to get the hang of it. After a while you'll see the sweet spot for placing the destination point and will be able to move larger distances in reverse. Always a good tactic when trying to duck your sherman for cover against a Tiger.
Re: 2. Some other folks might have better answer for this one but basically have to learn the timing on when to place the move command for the infantry and tank with respect to each other. One hint: place the infantry move fast order first. [:D] Like you didn't already guess that one, right?[;)]

Have the tank face opposite of where you want it to go.

Give the sneak order to the rear... tank will reverse

I've also noticed a bug that seems to appear in all the re-releases. Sometimes after giving a vehicle a move order it will stop and then do a 180 and face the wrong direction. I know COI has the worst habit of doing it.

Easiest way to move tanks and infantry; -Leaping! Move the infantry into position, let them eat bullets while the brave tank follows them, take out any threats and repeat the manoeuvre.
