Tiger Tank Question

[2010sjones2010]

There are some tactics that will help. Firstly start in sergeant mode with weather, supply and fog of war off to get a feel of the new tactics you need. Air superiority is a must and this gets harder and harder the further you go. Protect your JU's with fighters at all time and target all the enemies tanks. I play as I normally would (Colonel with fog of war off) which is six units in a hexagon surrounding an artillery unit. The units would usually be an 8.8cm flak unit, a tank, a tank destroyer, two intantry units and a recon unit. Now I surround my artillery unit with another artillery unit, a recon unit (early DLC's only - then replace with an 8.8 Flak unit or tank destroyer), tank destroyer and two infantry units (Gebirg and Grenadier) and 8.8 Flak unit. Try and get tanks into cities and destroy them using the grenadiers. Also try and surround/corner tanks to force them to surrender. I admit there are some scenarios which are extremely difficult, if not impossible, and I will change the difficulty settings to get through. However on the whole each scenario is possible to win. Its just another way of enjoying the DLC's.

I think it might just work, and certainly will add a challenge. I'm starting to like mobile AT units under 1.21. The extra HA benefits and the low cost compensate quite well for relatively weak defence. And without tanks, you can afford extra arty and infantry - and Infantry is relatively cheap too.

I'm sure you're crazy for trying it, but crazy in a good way!
