Anti-tank Tactics

Summary

While commanding infantry, you may have to defeat enemy armored vehicles, and sometimes even enemy tanks.

Although the tank usually has the advantage, a single soldier with the right weaponry can stop an armored vehicle in its tracks.

Anti-tank rifles, carried by AT soldiers, are large caliber rifles which are capable of penetrating light armor. If you have any AT soldiers, use them to deal with scout vehicles and light tanks.

TIP

When you kill an enemy rocket launcher soldier, be sure to pick up both the Panzerschreck and any rocket ammo that he drops. You can then use it to attack enemy vehicles or blow holes in buildings.

Almost all soldiers carry an anti-tank grenade. One of these will take out any enemy vehicle.

Unfortunately, you have to get close to the vehicle to use the grenade, which often makes this a suicide attack unless performed carefully.

The Germans often have anti-tank guns as part of their defensive positions. Kill the crews to capture these guns and turn them against the enemy.

Take direct control to aim at different parts of enemy tanks. If you can’t penetrate the frontal armor, aim for places which have less armor.

TIP

If you can’t destroy a tank with your anti-tank weapon, aim for the tracks. These have lighter armor, and an immobilized tank is easier to destroy and less of a threat than a mobilized one.
