One thing I always try to do is eliminate mortar teams. This usually takes days as they are always far behind the lines. If you do finally get them all, you can run fast with safety from indirect mortar fire. |

Thanks ImperatorKnight!
Your actions on the last thread were selfish,rude,condescending,disrespectful, and quite simply disgusting. Its not going to be easy to forgive you. But at least your trying to make an effort at redemption. -Na just joking lol |

MYTH: Tanks should not be used in street fighting. - Whilst this may be true in real life, this is not the case in Close Combat. |

Well its not like they didn't use tanks in urban warfare during WW2. And probably did it with success. http://www.lonesentry.com/articles/sovtanks/ Mind you its not like you said they didn't... Tanks are good in Urban warfare because you can hide them! Then just use them to pop around corners and aim down streets. |

Yes they did.
"Tank losses, especially in the 1st Guards Tank Army, prompted a rapid rethink of tactics. The first 'new tactic' was to cover each tank with sub-machine gunners who sprayed every window and aperture ahead as the vehicles advanced." Anthony Beevor, Berlin: The Downfall 1945. |

This tactic is called 'tank desant' and is still used today. There is a picture of Russians using said tactic on this webpage. |

where do you see anything in this quote from Beevor proving your words (below)?

cool, where is the picture there showing "said tactics" in combat? |
Quote: |
In the paragraph before where I began my quote. It's a long one which I won't copy fully, but let me take the important snippets out of it.
"...with the panzerfaust, they made their ambushes from basements and cellar windows. This was because the panzerfaust was very hard to fire accurately from above..." He goes on to say how the Volkssturm copied these tactics used by the Hitler Youth and SS. Then the next paragraph was - "Tank losses, especially in the 1st Guards Tank Army, prompted a rapid rethink of tactics. The first 'new tactic' was to cover each tank with sub-machine gunners who sprayed every window and aperture ahead as the vehicles advanced." |

Did you follow the link? The first picture on that page was taken during the Battle of Berlin, shows soldiers riding on tanks with submachine guns and confirms what Anthony Beevor was saying. |

btw, quoting Beevor as a reference for the EF is just showing your level of WW2 knowledge. |

Ok, Dima Also, instead of picking holes in my thread, are you going to contribute and give some tactics and strategies to help others? I'm sure someone of your calabre has some good multiplayer tactics to share. |
