Combat situations

sherman are pretty good. i dont micro very well, but when i play against panzer elite as americans, i can usually (depending on the player) destroy a marder 3 with an unvetted sherman.

[Pac-Fish]

A snigle marder(alone, no help) vs a single tank (or M8) will usually use. You should probably support it with shreck or another AT vehicle

[stealthattack1]

usually i try. but when nothing is around, what can i do?

[Tankbuster]

Just used this tactic with the brits (RMC)

Buttoned a KT

Got commandos to wire the KT


KABOOM.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Remember the demo charge will not destroy the kt and a real wehr player usually has support troops at least in the near of it.

[Tankbuster]

It made the KT run away

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

...and gets repaired again and you wasted 50 ammo.

[Tankbuster]

Who cares. Making the KT run away with it's tail tucked between its legs was priceless. Also I had two PIAT sappers ambush the KT. That took care of it.

[stealthattack1]

sound like its good for shiggles, but in a real game, a waste.

[Pac-Fish]

Its a waste if the KT has full health and its supported. Its not necessarily a waste if the KT is heavily wounded and alone. Just realize the KT will still be moving, even though its buttoned and may run over ur commandos

Do you guys ever put your snipers in buildings? I usually don't but I was just curious . Other than not taking as much bullet fire, do they gain any sort of bonus in a building

Never. Ever.

Putting a sniper in a building is basically like setting a sniper in the open with no camo. He is exposed and what's worse is that enemy snipers will have an easier time targeting him for a counter sniper.

The only way snipers were ever effective in buildings was when the church bug occurred. 1 sniper could gun down 2 rifle squads in a matter of seconds because of all the window opportunities. This was fixed in a 2.xx patch IIRC though

The only building I ever put Snipers in is the HQ when there's a base rush occurring. It's the safest place to put him if he's already discovered. Other than that, it just paints a massive target on him. Additionally, a Sniper should be out of range of normal gunfire anyway. If he's in a building, he's better protected than the open but is still actually getting shot. Snipers should be kiting at max range with an infantry wall in between.

I have my own question about the sniper.

Lets say there is an enemy sniper in a building, but there is also another squad in the building.  Do I still shoot the building with my sniper?  If my sniper kills someone in the building will it be the enemy sniper?  If not, and the enemy sniper returns fire, will he prioritize my own sniper over other squads?

[GodlikeDennis]

If the Sniper is in a window that your Sniper can see, he will prioritise him. If not, the enemy Sniper will have to change window and won't shoot back in time anyway.
