Vehicle Usage Tips

Hello,

Are there any tips you can give concerning making effective use of vehicles?

Often times I feel like I do not use them enough, they don't kill as much, don't vet up, etc.

If there are AT guns or other forms of AT, what mindset should I be in to make good use of my tank? Should I let it get it hit to get a shot off and do damage, or should I avoid the area altogether with my vehicle?

Thanks,

A good habit to get into is make sure you use reverse often and make sure you are using the hotkey to reverse your vehicles, this should help improve their survivability.

Otherwise just think about what vehicle you are using, what its strenghts/weaknesses are and try to choose favourable engagements for it.

An AT gun is not a deterrent to not assault with a vehicle anymore.
It just changes the way you have to approach.

If you have a very mobile vehicle like a 222, shoving it into the enemy flank, forces him to react.
He will turn his at gun and maybe rush a conscript unit over, to get an at grenade off.
A frontline assault then would mean that the AT-gun cannot use an artillery barrage onto incoming units, as it faces the vehicle and the conscript squad would be out of position.

With heavier vehicles, just smoking the at gun is a way to deal with them.
Beware of them using attack ground though (so can you though (; )

AT Infantry could be engaged with a vehicle to draw them in with kiting and then punish them by suppressing them with an mg or using a cheeky grenade.
If the unit retreats, you can push in further and get more usage out of the vehicle.


The general mindset is, to be wary, but not overly cautious.
Light vehicles are fast enough to outrun turning at guns at closer ranges, heavy ones can soak up a bit damage before having to turn and mediums are an in-between.
Make use of combined arms, punish at-guns and at-infantry with anti-infantry infantry and anti-infantry infantry with vehicles.

This hotkey usage is important

If u have extra buttons on your (gaming) mouse, u can make a macro script including a click+ pressing reverse key, to make it easier. As a classical Key user, 'U' is a bit far away on the keyboard. so having a script on my mouse is helpful.
