Tactics & Terms

Threat priority

Deal with the most dangerous thing first:

1. Infantry with a satchel or rocket — but only when CLOSE. Up close they can one-shot you.
2. AT guns. They reload faster than tanks and penetrate everything.
3. Tanks equal to or bigger than yours.
4. Everyone else (all other infantry).

Focus higher threats first.

Don’t exit for satchels

• Very low chance of success, and there’s no time.
• Infantry will often bluff a satchel to bait you out of the tank. Stay in.

Movement

• Shoot while stationary whenever possible.
• Shoot → move → shoot.
• Don’t sit in one spot too long — the satchels are coming.
• Driver and gunner: stay in sync so movement and shots don’t fight each other.

Damaged vehicle

• Stay in and keep shooting.
• Only hop out to repair if the spotter says it’s clear.
• Find cover before repairing if you can.
• Don’t die — buy time. You might survive.

Enemy recon tank at your rear (in a heavy or medium)

1. Turn the gun to the rear.
2. Driver spins the hull.
3. Once the gun is full rear, drive away.
4. Shoot the recon.

Squad lead

• Ask for tank marks in command comms often.
• If you get pinned down, ask for help and buy time.

Terms

• Hull down — only your turret is showing (hull hidden behind terrain).
• Flag — sit behind cover with the gun to the side; pull out, shoot, return to cover.
• Angle front — point your front right or left corner at the enemy to increase deflections.
• Bait — engage, retreat, counter. Draw the enemy tank away from their infantry, or back toward a hidden friendly AT gun.
