When I know my squads will face AFVs I usually set their range down to 3-5 hexes and wait for the AFVs to close.

I then turn off the AT weapon, shoot at the AFV with just the LMG 2-3 times and then turn on the AT weapon. While this is something of a "loophole" I found that it dramitically boosts the stowed kill potential of infantry vs. AFVs.

So you are saying that you use the LMG to zero in the range to be able to get a direct hit with the AT weapon? I always belived every weapon had its own hit %.

That may well work - using a ranging LMG.

Every weapon has its own percentage to-hit, but each unit "climbs the ladder" of shots fired at a particular target (and so increasing ranging-on effect) as a unit, not individually per weapon in that unit. So you could save a few ranging RPG rounds this way, but get fewer RPG shot attempts overall.

It could be useful if you only had a low supply of the things left though.

This tactic will tend not to work if the unit you are spraying with MG etc fire (or a friend) notices you and sends an HE present back at you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif! - in which case you may end up so supressed (or hurt) that you do not get the RPG shot at all.
