#1: distance Author: Astonvallio, Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 1:30 am — The cooperation between infantry and tanks is one of the most important matter in this game..... but what's the best way to use it?
Most players put their infantry in front of the tank to spot the enemy (i do the same) but if the tank is too distant they are very vulnerable! (a well placed MG can kill all of them).
If the tank is too close to the infantry, an AT gun could not be spotted in time and easily destroy the tank.
So what are yours suggestions? At what distance a tank must follow his infantryman?
What's your tactic when you are in open fields and you don't know where the enemy is?

I'd send a sniper or a very small team across first, to see what they could see.
... and I wouldn't think twice about beating a hasty retreat; as hasty, that is, as you can crawl.

Buron is a difficult map to attack into. If you don't have cars to waste bring in your less valuable tanks. Always have a couple teams of mortars numbered and ready to shoot at as soon as an enemy ATG shows up. Its the quickest supresing fire you will have.

I would send some infantry to sneak all the way under the cover of these to cover one side of a farm rather than to have any of my units performing suiside mission crossing the open field. As long as tank gunners can see the destination area, I would prefer to have my valuable tanks well positioned and remain hidden while infantry do the scouting job all by themselves. If there are some suspicious spots that the enemy could deploy an ATG or MG team, one tank should slowly maneuver to a far point in the map with direct line of sight to this location (to ensure safety there should be at least a 200-300m distance) and fire a few rounds at it.
