Default Re: Brigade Nord: Delaying Actions 2 (Delay at Overbygd)

Well I'm on turn 14 and the Soviet steamroller has arrived. Unfortunately for them their infantry support got decimated and while their tanks are near invulnerable without infantry support they're being whittled down.

The key is to never allow your ATGMs to fire during their movement, use 2 or 3 Javelins per tank. That gives you 4-6 shots, the first two virtually guaranteed to be countered by the CIWS, the 3rd thru 6th will miss, be evaded, or bounce off at least 50% of the time, but with 2-4 you can be fairly assured of a kill. And keep your ammo resupply close!

You have tons of Carl-Gustaf RRs move them forward to the edges of the the woods ASAP (you sufficient vehicles) and place them where they'll get flank/rear shots. They've killed probably 6+ tanks already for me.

I will freely admit I cheat *gasp* when it comes to SAMs/MPADs vs helicopters. The MI-24 in particular. Again I only fire at helos during my turn, if they miss they miss (as they usually do), all well and fine. But at least 80% of the time when a missile hits it does no damage at all. When this happens I will reload and refire that same missile (often 10-15 times) until it does some damage. Why you ask? Because these are heat-seaking missiles, if they hit in the first place turbine blades are NOT going to just shrug it off (feel free to research how many real life helos have taken a missile up the turbine and not been damaged sufficiently to get the hell outta Dodge). And the Mi-24 in particular will not be damaged about 80% of the time (actually 81% according to my tests of 100 Stingers hits vs Hinds).

All that is to explain why the MI-24s were less of a problem for me then most players will find them to be. Not that the Norwegian 30mm's are at all useful vs tanks but they're great at shooting up APCs.

Now of course I'm low on AT ammo and sooooooooo looking forward to the second wave of the assault!

Nice job so far Grant1pa!
